WTF

How did the first few 10 something seconds manage to look so pleasing for Sci-Fi goers???

Another male idol show? And looks like they intentionally chose the currently popular seiyuus cos they know it's not gonna draw a big crowd otherwise.

Anyway I'm gonna pass on this. The only male idol show I like so far is UtaPri.

Oh, guess this is the next big thing for otakus to hate (after Bakumatsu Rock, Shounen Hollywood and Diabolik Lovers)

Well, more male idols is never a dissappointment for me, so yeah I'm in.

Ned (Vocal): Tatsuhisa Suzuki

SOLD. FUCKING SOLD.

If you cringe at the idea of 3D, you haven't seen Qin's Moon. :P

Looks like an OVA or special? Why not. The PV is eye-catching and characters looks atleast half decent.

It's a shame because the boy idol industry in real life is a moneymaker and a half.

This is why we need KyoAni to make a male idol anime. I'm still waiting.

If they just took Free and copied and pasted similar characters into any setting; idols, reverse harems, whatnot, the sales would skyrocket...
Even a male iDOLM@STER would sell well I'd imagine. And yes to male idol anime by KyoAni. Remember episode 6 of Kyoukai no Kanata. XD

After Bakumatsu Rock disappointment I don't what else to think of this.

The art definitely makes the characters more likeable than Bakumatsu Rock.
I'll give it a shot, even though I don't dig this.

seems like a boy idol band or something. The boy idol industry in anime is pretty bad compared to girl idol anime. ex:(Bakumatsu rock was a piece of shit). Not going to check this out.

Interesting, a bunch of guys (presumably) in some sort of rock band. This has potential and it doesn't look bad so far.

A full 3D, the PV looked fine. I'm look forward to watch this anime anyway.

Aug 8, 2014 9:19 AM by removed-user

Okay yeah, now I see why they needed Kaji.

Ok, on second thought, after seeing the PV, the CGI doesn't look bad. Now I'm jealous of the people attending the event. ;_;
