This series has horrible story telling. It has a lot of plot holes that can be extremely confusing in the series. This plot of the series does not really tell its own story but rather a mix of Idoly Pride(75%), Lovelive!(10%) and Zombieland Saga(15%). In my opinion, Selection Project is the worst TV Show that I have ever seen.
However, not all parts are considered bad at all. In Zombieland Saga Rip Off Part, they did really well, such as an interesting idea like "Idol that start from zero and be growing"
For Music
I don't like almost song in this series, especially the OP theme song. It doesn't create an Idol op vibe. They also reuse multiple songs at the end. In my opinion, Idol series shouldn't reuse their song strongly because the main selling point of the series are their songs and it doesn't look like they have put in the enough effort to create new songs. On the bright side, it has a few song that I like, B.B. and Only One yell. Only One Yell will be my most favorite ed in Fall2021.
For Studio
Doga Kobo did very well in this position, this series was carried by Doga Kobo a lot. Animation and sound effects are very good. Also, the character design from Hirayama, Kanna, are the character design of series "
Kanojo, Okarishimasu". They are very cute and memorable. Nevertheless, the story isn't given, so in the character part, I can't give much more score.
Part II add some detailed from part (maybe spoiled)
[1] This series has a main moral of "Repay all votes that voted on us", but before that a winner of the zone qualifiers withdraws because the 1st runner sang better than her. W H A T, how about votes that were voted on you. How would they feel?
[2] The competitors in this series all spend most of their summer in camps, but the competitors are only middle school with the youngest being 11 years old. Aren't their parents worried? Your children are going to camp for 3 months. There are also dances in swimsuits which aren't appropriate for middle schoolers if you ask me. At the end, the kids became idols and leave their hometowns to perform in the big cities. Aren't their parents worried at all?
[3] "Selection Project is the most realistic TV competition show". Is that really true? In the story, they do not allow viewers to vote on children's programs as they are working to follow their dream. In the real world, they have to face realities of haters and criticism.
Another reason is that the TV competition show had all the competitors pass, so to be fair, they gave a choice that competitors have to vote and kick out 2 competitors. W H A T, this is contradicts with [1]. After that, the votes are equal and they can't find a competitor to kick out so they are all eliminated. Yes, they are all eliminated. Are you kidding me? How can a show like this can survive for 7 seasons and have viewers all over Japan?
