Credit to the show. I didn't expect any twists for this episode, much less a couple of them. It definitely moved along quickly through Mana's career up to...the end of it. Not sure where I expected things to go with her. But I can't say a tragic death was at the top of the list. Was prepared for things to be somber for a while longer...and then she was back again .
Not a bad string of surprises though. I kind of like these two together from what we got in the first episode. And good to know she'll be hanging around in spirit form. Though too bad she's not going to be able to make her own dreams come true. But at least she gets to stick around to watch over things. Besides she did get Kouhei into this career, so kind of proper that she's around to watch over how things go from here. Will see how this goes.

episode 1:
I don't watch an idol anime for a guy's backstory, and the entire first episode was spent on that. one of the quickest drops of the season. And I won't be buying anything from this.

Kotono's determination is admiring although I think her reason to become an idol is somewhat questionable. I think her character is the type that isn't easy to approach. That other girl, Sakura, is kinda like the opposite of her. She seems much more friendly based on her personality.
The most interesting part I find about the show is the spiritual presence of Mana and Kotono trying to carry on her legacy. This show also highlights the hardship and environment of the idol world. Not bad tbh. This kinda reminds me of 22/7 from last Winter.

I kind of like the kotono part on wanting to become a idol to acomplish her sister dream is noble, the downside is that isn't like kotono own dream to be an idol and she is doing it only for mana's sake. Sakura in the other hand I dislike that she is just there because a feeling, I always disliked that kind of reasoning, is not like she wants to be an idol and she is following her heart just because.
Anyway I'm sure that in the future becoming an idol will be their dream and the thing they love but for now it is what it is. |

The second episode kept my attention a lot more than the first episode did, though really I felt in a more realistic scenario Sakura would have either been never allowed into the building or escorted out ASAP once it was found out she didn't have an audition. I don't think they'd just allow random people in.
Kohei being kicked out to the shed was amusing though. I hope they make more of Ghost Mana in the future though, she seemed underused this time. |

I'm just going to presume at this point that Sakura received Mana's heart or something as a transplant. The focus on this girl following her heart, having an attachment to Mana's song, health issues in the past, and going from being bad at singing to suddenly good just seems to be pointing in that direction. It would also create a solid connection between the two main girls of this episode. Kotono trying to fulfill what her sister left unfinished and Sakura almost inheriting her talents.
Nothing too unusual, but Kotono's path also seems pretty straight forward. She loved her sister, but also felt frustrated with Mana's career taking her away. Then she said something stupid before the finals...and of course her sister dies. Thus she's left with guilt, regrets, and even finding out something about how her sister felt. Now she's chasing that dream for her sister's sake more than anything. It's likely only for her own sake to the degree that she feels a need to do this.

I do think Makino needs to actually attempt to seem sane before its too late. Constantly to someone that no one else can detect isn't going smoothly. He's not even doing it in a way that can be considered talking to himself. Of course that's minor compared to visibly looking shocked when someone invisible flies away and actively calling out to them as they do it . I don't care which between him and Mana figure out that this is not going to end well for Makino, but one of them needs to figure that out.

I am still not sure why I am watching this. In general it is a pretty generic IM@S-style idol anime for now. And I am a bit tired of classic idols. But still, something keeps me for now.
Also, hearing the ED song sang in duet by two of my favourite female seiyuus was great.

I'm looking foward to Rei joining the group.
I'm enjoying the interaction between kotone and makino, I doubt there will be romance but is cool to see the former manager of the big sister taking the job for the little sister now, and kotone always look for him in every chance, I think she is starting to see makino talent and that he too was a piece of mana success and not only the ceo. sakura leaving the group?, I think is a silly cliffhanger. |
