Loved episode 12. Guess that's the end of the show on TV.
Ruri, good luck with your dreams. If you somehow end up attempting a romantic relationship with your brother (for some odd reason) I'll root for you. Lol. Love the magical girl look. Hina, you can't even reheat mizo soup. At least we still love you Keep chasing after your sisters. Kotoha, I think I like your single the best. Love your singing. Miu, your love of sheep and butlers is the best. Keep up being cute. Nyan. Mai, being the most mature of all the girls doesn't speak well for your seniors. Keep them in line. All the loli lovers probably adore you. Mizuki, you're my favorite. Will you bear my children? Keep up the great work. We'll see you in the OVA girls! |

So far there hasn't been any character development at all. Also, the story doesn't seem to go anywhere... <= Well, that's what I think.

Episode 6...
Not much happening here either, but at least Mizuki got slapped, however nothing happened. This is what I hate! That completely forget about this stuff. At the start she didn't want to join the group, and now it's as if though she's forgotten about it... Some screencaps from me: Spoiler for She looks like Kaede!!!:
Spoiler for what's happened to the character designs?!?!:
Spoiler for one lucky guy...:
Spoiler for again...but he could turn his head a bit to see some more...:
Spoiler for taking it a bit too far...:
Spoiler for perhaps an ending spoiler...:
Spoiler for kawaii but wtf?!:

And for what it's worth, those character design deformations are parodies. I've seen them used before as parodies in other shows, but the origins escape me at the moment. There are a number of similar parody shots throughout the middle part of the show. |

This is a hugely delayed reaction on my part, but I just wanted to say thanks to eggplant for the event and OVA impressions! I'm looking forward to it. I was going to say so last week, but I think I was in a hurry at the time and I forgot. I guess the attention of the forum has turned elsewhere (not that this was a very popular show around here to begin with), but I still enjoyed the show (especially once I figured out what they were trying to do with it). I think I have the first DVD waiting at home; I'll try to post scans when I get back.

I actually think this show could've used MORE music; I certainly would've enjoyed it more if it had JEM!-style music videos in the middle of the episode. I was spoiled by the initial concert, I suppose.
The concept was a very good one, but the execution could've been better - at least in the first 6 episodes. Somewhat let down... this show could've been a runaway hit, if done right. But at least the manager turns out to be an admirable character; the best part of this show is when he turns down all the girls' advances. |

Speaking of the DVDs, though, here's the cardboard standie thing that came with LE DVD 1. It basically has the same design as the DVD cover. Spoiler for DVD 1 "Desktop POP" (don't ask why they call it that...):

Heh - well, yeah. I don't think "romance" really is one of the genres for this show, which is probably a bit of a play on the industry in itself, since "availability" is one of the (stereotypical) requirements for a new/young popstar/idol. The Drama CD that was just released definitely plays up on the "failing miserably to hit on their manager" bit; it's not really that he's that dense, but it's part of the job. Him getting romantically close to any of the girls puts him, the girl, and the company's reputation in jeopardy. Much to the girls' chagrin, though -- maybe the challenge is why they keep trying?

Agreed.. this series reminds me of "Girls High" in this respect.. just lots of eyecandy with a simple plot thrown in to make everything stick together.. no real romance. But hey, despite that I still enjoy it and really thank the fansub group for picking it up again.
