----------------------------------------
Some of these girls are actually kinda pushy in this show. That Himawari Ikka girl with her personality might be hard to deal with.

It's too bad what happened to that rural village as it's filled with dirty trash now.
I think this show pushes for both storytelling and characterization rather than just focusing on the careers of these inspiring idols. This episode gave a good insight on more of the character personalities.

I like that some of the idols are pushy, for such competitive occupation you'd expect more of them to be this way. That trash did make for a nice stage when got fresh coats of paint and extra decorations. The performances are still pretty good seeing that this a non-Sunrise/Bandai-Namco late night anime. I want to see more of Ruru, she's adorable and her end card was especially adorable.

Idol bungee jumping! Good thing Natsuki somehow survived that fall, river or not. Then again why expect realism from a show where the bad guys get defeated by magic idol powers turning their eyes into hearts? Yeah, this show is silly. XD Oh, and Chinatsu was very cute, bitch slap aside. XD

Well that was quite something, As ridiculous as the show is, it's pretty fun to watch.

Idol Bungee Jumping? Isn't that dangerous? XD
The Bungee Cord snapped, Holy Shit! See, I knew it was dangerous, Sachie being so nochalant about the snapping. XD Luckily Natsuki survived. xD

Chinatsu is pretty nice too aside from that slap which came out of nowhere.
Performance was nice and the bad guys being defeated by the auras had me laughing. xD

Greedy Sunlight party took the credit for themselves, I suppose this is what you call politics. XD
Well, let's see what the next episode holds.

I'm surprised that she survived, if she landed wrong on the water, it could have been the same as falling on the ground from that height....

This series at least be at 6/10 and above(depends on your preference). Fun to watch especially together with a character like Natsuki. Surprisingly I thought another new member gonna join the team, but instead they show another Idol team(their song not that bad thou).

Not joking, that kind of bungee height even with a deep river still can kill you=.=

For someone who study politics and such, this series actually REALLY has at least small amount of knowledge in that department. Like Natsuki's funny answer regarding how to deal with those garbage and the actual problem.

I guess adding politics into Idol is not just some decoration huh.

To be quite honest I didn't like it and the first half of the episode was just boring to me?
I'm surprised she survived that jump, but well you know it's anime.
I'm not dropping this yet but if it doesn't get better I probably will.
no signature because im too lazy to make one

I am very afraid of heights, I could never do something like that.

Doesn't matter who you are, once that music hits and the singing begins it's all over, you turn all lovey-dovey.

This was surprisingly well-done. Not sure why they're focusing on these weird physical challenges though (first a run and then bungee jumping). The anime is at its best when it focuses on the characters and the idol political machine. Hope we see more of that as it goes along.

Painted trash is still trash, unless they're going to do something with it. The one guy who owned the property shouldn't care too much about this scheme, it might even be a money-maker for him. I'd rather see more overt idol politicking rather than magical auras, but the conversion still got a chuckle out of me.

The bungee jumping was silly, especially the results of the snapped rope. Needed a bit more song and aura in the end.

This anime may not be amazing or anything but a 5.58 score? seems a bit harsh, it's just dumb fun, even the bungee jump was so ridiculous with the rope cutting off and somehow she survival in the river lol

Yeah 5.58 is harsh. I have given the show a 7 based on the first 2 episodes so far.

So this is going to be an idol show with a touch of politics here and there.

Lol Natsuki was kicked out of the Diet based on her preferred onigiri. I wouldn't be surprised if this kind of discussion actually happens in this Diet out of Natsuki's dreams lol. Natsuki is getting some study sessions so that she can be upto date with the issues of the country and other stuff about how the Diet works etc.

Chinatsu was unwilling to work with the Heroine party due a personal grudge. So childish. These guys take party changes way too seriously. In politics this stuff happens on an almost regular basis. Guess she's not used to it yet. And how on earth does bungee jumping determine the strength of an idol? That was too stupid. And Natsuki is indestructible due to her strong willpower lol.

Liked how the Sunshine party got all the credit for fixing things when it was the Heroine party's idea and all. Nice job Mizuki. She wasn't even there until the very end when everything was done. And the leader of the Rougai party. That guy. The masses really are foolish and don't want change. The idols are trying to get people to vote for them instead of the corrupt Rougai but it isn't working on a larger scale. They have fans but not more supporters than the Rougai party has.

This show really won't stop being stupid and absurd lol. But I like it. Just hope that they at least keep this amount of politics here and don't ditch it completely.

It's theoretically possible for you to survive bungee jumping if the rope snaps. Depends how far away from the ground you are and when it snapped.
A curve including all entries should be of a gaussian form. One including limited entries by picking animes you liked and not rating animes you dropped should look like mine.
Amount of total animes each rating should have (percentages): 6-25,7-15,8-6,9-3,10-1

I have a complete brainfart when i suddenly realize that the character introduced so far have a similar-sounding name.

Chinatsu, Natsuki, Sachie, Shizuka, Mizuki.

God.. Who the hell came up with these names?! Will continue to watch though.

actually the songs are good. I thought for the second episode, they will introduce their third member. Plus they are willing to introduce some minor characters for Shizuka. I think about the garbage dump, it's just a metaphor.

What I observed in this anime, they know how to skip the cliché parts. That's why the pacing is fast. Which is kinda.. good.

This chapter was better than the previous one, now it knows a little more of idols and its goal. Finally the protagonists have a leading role ...
P.d: the plot still seems silly

Fine episode, I guess. It's not bad, but it's not good either. I mean, to me, this show is trying too hard to be funny. But it's still good in some parts, and watchable, at least for now. Well, I can't judge the show after watched only 2 episodes of it. Hope it will get better in the next episodes, I have high hopes for this show.

What even was that fall lmao. There's no way anyone could survive such a fall.

Not sure about the blue haired girl being against joining the group, then accepting 2 minutes later. That decision change was a bit too quick imo.

Overall it was a fine episode. Gotta agree that the current rating is harsh though.
MAL ratings anyway lol

Ouch! Poor Shizuka got slapped. That drama between her and Chinatsu was unexpected.

I guess it sometimes a curse if you are too good at something.

That Idol Bungee Jumping reminded me of Aikatsu! and all those random activities.

I wonder how Natsuki survived that jump. Anime logic strikes again.

Everyone worked hard and made the dump site to look very pretty. Natsuki's idea was very clever. :)
