If you don't like these two things you can still watch the anime, but you're not their target audiance so I'm sure you're not going to find the same enjoyment as I did,
Let me state the obvious, I LOVE these idol/boyband/bishonen anime but this is a review so I'm goint to do it as it has to be made.
Story: The story is good, is about a group of boys who wants to become idols(each one with their motives) and the anime shows their path to do it while they grow as persons and professionals. Simple and good and they worked this in a good and enjoyable anime.
Art: The art is good, is not the best in the world, I got myself thinking a lot of times staring and thinking that something was missing, the movements were a little stiff, something like thiis. They use CG for the dance parts, is a good CG and is well blended with the 2D animation, Have I seen better CG usage in this kind of anime? Yes. But is good so I'll give the Arts a 7
Sound: I love the "main songs" and the anime introduces us to a good number of songs so they don't always sing the same(this is a really good point), when they are not together as a group you see the seyuus are not exactly the best singers you'll find out there. And the voices for Chizuru and Kanade are quite annoying for me. But the songs are addictive and nice to hear so I'll give an 8.
Character: This is a usual idol anime, you'll have a little of their stories as persons, why they want to become idols and their doubts like "should I really be an idol?" "Why am I doing this?". I liked their backgrounds, is convincing and well wrapped, it explains their personalities and you get to really cheer for them, the anime gives the space for them to grow up as persons and idols so is good, and for those who didn't get their space the anime ends announcing a second season for 2017 so I believe they'll explore some characters more in the second season. I'm going to give an 8 and wait for season two :)
Enjoyment: I liiked the characters as said above, the songs, the ending(since there is a second season announced) so I'll give this a 9.
Overall: 8
Is a good anime, not the best I've seen in my life but I enjoyed it and the songs are going to stay with me for a while. I'll be waiting for the second season :)
