So... Nobody wrote a review for Million Doll yet? That's a huge responsibility for me, hahaha. I'm sorry, but this time I'm a bit disappointed and I don't know how to explain that well, but anyway, here we go.

I do not usually make reviews about anime that I didn't identify myself, but I made an exception this time, because... Ohhh, gosh... Such a boredom... But I struggled to keep up watching the series so far because I do not like to criticize without having access to it's entire content and, for real, Million Doll had potential to be an "all cute anime", but it's just... Meeeh. If you know what I mean.

The story is about a hikikomori idol otaku, Sumire, who runs a star-making blog after having bad relations with assholes colleagues at school and kinda isolating herself from society. And she finds out that raising popularity of beginners pop-stars was really a nice hobby, so she keep doing that for a long time. Then, it starts a rivalry between her and Ryuu, which is another otaku idol but completely futile and manipulative. Sumire is trying to raise a group of singing girls and Ryuu is trying to raise a single female singer. The anime also shows the side of those singers, like their insecurities and their efforts for success.

And when you see it... The story is... Just that. Nothing else. It could be a really intense and exciting thing, but seems a bit childish for me, I don't know for sure how to classify it. There's no really big ups and downs... Just it.

Besides, the art is cool, but at the same time, they made it so bright it hurt my eyes! Why their hair have to shine so bright, man? And wow, the mix of 2D with 3D doesn't... fit. Also, the traits sometimes seem crooked and the faces of the characters look kinda... deformed! Creepy...

I don't feel like I wasted my time completely watching it just because each episode lasts less than five minutes. Perhaps this is just one more reason for the lack of development of the story, but since almost nothing was well developed, I can't do anything but complain... Even the characters had not a decent personality development!

Finally, the work is not as original nor innovative. The development of the story and characters wasn't sufficient to make me create affinity with the story. So, low connection with the audience. The art refinement was below the average. And... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, but... Their voices are... SOO annoying...

I feel sorry for the staff that worked on that, but, really... I can't like this anime.
