I know where the entire animation team focused their time on for this episode- that duck-sensei.
![]() Anyways, quite a surprisingly intriguing plot. That's what I'm liking about this show; I don't quite know what to expect each week, and it's nice to have some problems to face along the way. This isn't just a simple moe series, although it does appear to be so if one was to look at just its cover. Plus, it's not that bad. Sure, it looks a little choppy here and there, but it's not like we dropped to an unacceptable level. I'm still excited to see what happens next week.

I vaguely remember hearing/reading something as to why Jupiter was introduced. The game creators thought that the players couldnt really view the rival as "enemies" if they're also girls, like in the case of 961 Production's "Project Fairy" = Hibiki, Takane, and Miki. Hence they created a male unit. And you know what? It worked, they're totally my enemies.

I find it charming how Miki spends her day strolling around the city alone (well, the Producer-san was there but she pretended not to see him), looking for things that might be amusing.
Another solid episode, the IDOLM@STER is fun for me again. The animation was decent, didn't notice much of a change. And looks like next week it's all about Miki again - coolio. |

![]() The title of next week's episode was something along the lines of "The Idols Take The Stage", so I figured the performance was coming up. Of course, that could also be taken in a metaphorical manner, meaning the idols face their troubles and take their place on the stage that is the world. Jeez, this is what happens when I super-multitask at 2:25 in the morning. I overthink EVERYTHING. XD

One thing I've always wondered is why Ritsuko chose Iori, Azusa, and Ami to be in Ryuugu Komachi. They don't seem to be the most talented or outstanding of the bunch. The ones with most star appeal, in my opinion, are Miki and Chihaya.

On the other hand Iori Azusa and Ami their character makes them play nice as a group. Iori has a fair bit of talent in her and although a tsundere she does care about team work when the crunch comes, Ami is bright and cheerful and if you break the twins up they settle down quite a bit, and Azusa just has that soothing aura with her and she gets along well with everyone thus creates a comfortable group atmosphere. It's a perfect example of the sum is more than the parts.

I guess the "Ryuuguu Komachi" group (same people) is from the game initially? Can anyone spoil me the other groups later formed, maybe in the anime?

All of the RK members have kanji in their family names that have something to do with water. There's an explanation on UTW's site for that episode that I'll pull up later. It had nothing to with merit or likes or dislikes. Ritsuko thought their names had a nice ring to it and just started her own project group.

In the end a good result for Ritsuko. Gets to show off her talents with a group that isn't too hectic to handle. Quote:

If you want to make an argument for whatever chemistry RK has, then you also have to explain why not only Miki wasn't chosen, but the rest of the girls as well. Why weren't the Futami twins put together, even though they work the best together? Why wasn't Takane, Hibiki, Yukiho, Haruka, Makoto, Yayoi, or Chihaya chosen either? Unless you create even more fake drama and believe Ritsuko dislikes all of them as well, you can't explain it. The three chosen for RK were chosen for their names, nothing more, nothing less. |

I guess the strong differences in viewpoints exists because they were very vague about what's going on with Ryuugu Komachi. Ritsuko herself mentions that the three have great chemistry during the interview and it's mentioned that their surnames all have an affiliation with water in some way, which is why Haruka asked why she wasn't included.
I believe those three were picked for their names yes, but would Ritsuko have gone with it if they didn't share a strong bond and work well together? Imagine if the three she had to pick were Miki, Chihaya and Yukiho or something. They're good on their own and all, but the three would not mix well together, and Ritsuko would probably see that.

My only concern was that I don't think those three were picked JUST because of their names. It could have been anyone or anything in that case.:P

Makoto (favorite character) - tomboy, takes sometime to work with her, because of the tight schedule. Takane - very weird Chihaya - emo and to focus on singing Miki - lazy... Yukiho - I'm afraid of guys, when they're the majority... etc

Those descriptions are kinda harsh though. Takane's not weird, she's just somewhat quiet and has a different way of communicating with people. Chihaya has issues at home and has grown up living a hard life, thus her somewhat difficult nature. She's been nothing but optimistic when it came to the live whenever something happened with Miki or someone else. Speaking of Miki, she's not lazy, she's just unable to control her dedication where it needs to be- she wants her own agenda and her own path to follow, which is perfectly understandable for a 15 year old girl. Yukiho's the stereotypical character who is androphobic, but it's not like she chooses to be like that. She wants to change, and she works hard for it.
