Get hype for AOTY 2013 contender number 1. Sunrise really outdid themselves here, with the musical like setup, gorgeous animation and backgrounds, and of course, excellent voice acting work. Episode 1 exceeded my already overhyped expectations. Every scene was well done. Sunrise shock and awe has done it again.
The PV's were all hype. And the anime matched it. Kotori is the best, of course.

To be quite honest, I only started to watch this show because I wanted to see how its gonna stack up against the other idol show of the season, AKB0048. And one thing that really stood out for me is the voice acting... the seiyuu here are MILES ahead of their counterparts. And with the conflict being started so early and clearly defined, on top of the songs being fun, I think I can go through this show till the end.
Now if only there was a guy so I can ship SOMETHING, it would be perfect.

Well one of the seiyuus does the voice of Aki in Robotics NOTES, the student council president if I'm correct. We got some real good voicework here. This show is already better than AKB0048 for me since I just didn't like that other idol show, but it will never stack up against iDOLM@STER.
It really gave me that Natsuiro Kiseki vibe right away. |

That was better than I expected. Decent premise, good voice cast, excellent animation, fun songs. This is shaping up to be a great idol anime.
The three's performance at the end of the episode was quite something. Very random but highly enjoyable.

Don't need a guy to ship just use yuri goggles. I liked episode especially small sprinkles on character traits like small brunette Nico and Maki. I hope Mimorin's character (don't know every name yet) won't end being scapegoat for cheap laughs.
Who did perform the insert song in middle of episode? The beat was suprusingly catchy despite being corny. |

OMG they broke out in a song and dance number at the end.......how amazing was that?!!
Been a while since I saw a song and dance break out...hell can't even remember last time I saw one. Wonder if we'll see different ED for each ep and if they were to be song and dance break out everytime I'd then probably forever praise this as one of the best animes ever! As far as characters go, Nozomi-chan is still my favorite Umi-chan became abit of a surprise, rather liking her character alot, along with Kotori-chan as well. Really liking this atm, might not be as good as Idolm@ster in the end but I think it will be pretty damn good none the less.

IdolM@ster kind of had a few years of games to flesh out the characters and their habits. Love Live has onyl had the music singles and video shorts, so the anime is really the first major thing for this franchise.

The animation for this series is really good, love how the characters all look, and that CGI was awesome.
(the break out at end of ep1 was funny, outta no where, LOL - especially since it doesn't fit how earlier she keeps on falling on her butt practicing) There sure has been a lot of Idol or Music anime going on the last few seasons (including this season)... LOL I think is is mostly due to the rise of Idols in Japan (like AKB and such) Last edited by chaos_animagic; 2013-01-09 at 22:21. |

I rate this episode 6.5/10, pretty enjoyable but the characters trying too hard to act moe, they also seem to have stereotype moe personality too. also, I don't understand why some people picking on the dancing ED, I think it just like disney musical scence in their animation movie which didn't really happen and just there to make a nice closure to the episode, do you honestly think they really danced and sing there?

I simply just wandered into the anime one day and loved what I saw from the get go and even to today it is one of the best animes I've watched of recent years, it's got massive entertainment and enjoyment factors for me. Quote:
How can you not like song and dance break outs?!!

Well ... um ... hmm.
Not so bad, actually, but somehow I think Idolm@ster has ruined me ... the idols were so alive and real personality wise in that excellent series, and in comparison the other idol based series I have seen since have just plain fallen short. Series like akb0048 and this one are not "bad" per se, just nowhere near as engaging (or even "convincing" somehow?) for me.... Well, I will give it a try for a few more eps.
