Yeah, the first episode is very much a "setup" episode to introduce all the characters, the basic relationships, and the basic premise (manager struggles to lead his idol group to success, and finds love in the process). It's not really the type of episode that you can really say that much about (since it really is just a setup episode). They repeated the names for all the characters at least twice so you could try to get them all in your head.

The various idol songs were okay, but not particularly remarkable either. I liked the ED, but it did give away a lot of the plot (well, a lot was already given away anyway in promo material). The fact that the OP had a "loading bar" was funny. Animation was pretty passable (not that high budget, but not awful either), though the crowd in the concert was way too "on cue" in both action and sound. Of course, the character designs are cute, which everyone already knows. So all in all, it was an okay, if unremarkable, setup episode. Let's see where they go with it.
