THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
First two episodes are out on Crunchyroll.

It didn't waste time introducing the main characters including Tsugumi. The seems to have some diverse personalities although by the looks of it, they're all there to improve themselves.

It was great! I find the pacing to be good and the main characters' introductions to be quite balanced? Also I'm really digging the art style lol, looks really close to the game's art.

Overall, as a fan of the game since it was first launched; I may came off a bit biased but ahah I always kept my expectations for every anime low but the first episode came out better than I hoped for so far. Looking forward to see more of the anime in two months~

Satou Satomi as Tsumugi is a great choice btw :^)

PS: Sougo best boy

Edit: Because of both first and 2nd episode were combined together, I accidentally discussed the second episode. Whoops.

Tsumugi is well known as manly girl because of her strong will. It is really happy thing to see her move and exist. Because in the game, she just like support character eventough she introduced as heroine.

Well she is support character if we looked at role list. She is the last name in Takanashi Pro.

I hope they will increase her appearance because I love Tsumugi character

First episode turns out pretty well!

At first look it's like the same old shoujo male idols anime but... I can feel so much emotions and cringy English, from this... I don't know why.. TvT

PS. I feel like I found a legit male version of LL!Sunshine Mari... Lol XD


I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD

Ahhh such a good first episode (including the second) T.T
I used to be a fan of the game but stopped playing around a year ago, but I still love all the characters and songs and it's so nice how the art style is so similar to the game. Never got into the story though so I'm not sure if the anime is following the game story or if it's different, but either way, I'm expecting it to be good. I can't wait to see the full series in January!

Those first 2 episodes are such a surprise, but a welcome one. All 7 have such distinctive personalities.

I didn't know who were the seiyuu until I checked the list. A pretty nice lineup!

So lovely! I'm the same as @/Uratanuki. I stopped playing a while ago and never followed story. This Anime is gonna bring everything to life which is great!

I have a feeling I'm going to have a hard time picking favourites now! I've always been a huge fan of Nagi and Tamaki (not just bc of seiyuu but their personalities) and now everyone's making me reconsider. LOL

The main girl, Tsumugi, is really great! I like her already.

The bunny mascot is cute too! I want a plushie.

Woah they really enhanced the storyline from the game, like it’s more emotional with the animations. I play the game and I know how the story is like but this, really enhances it.

And I really enjoy how this anime really shows the journey of an idol group instead of a reverse harem otome game anime.

Monster generation instrumental at the end hit me so hard I love it.

This is surprisingly good. I was thinking it would be garbage, but I was proven wrong. The only thing that I disagree with is their group name -_-

Every time beautiful blonde Nagi opened his mouth I just burst out laughing because of his terrible foreigner accent omg :'DD
(the Dutch professor that teaches Japanese grammar at my uni is a middle-aged old man who speaks exactly like this so it's double hilarious to me)

The seiyuu are pretty cute! Didn't even recognize Ono Kensho in here because he usually has such a soft voice. And they sound really well together! <3

I'm not sure what to think about the CGI during the live concert, but otherwise it was used really well during the rest of the episode. Proof that 3DCGI can certainly liven up 2D animation :)

I know that everyone was going to pass lol.

It was a good introduction, im worried a bit since we have a lot of characters and in some scenes I confused Riku with Mitsuki since both have similar designs.

Yamato is husbando material. He's so hot.

I’ve never seen an idol anime, but I’ve followed many idol groups in real life, so in a way, I knew what to expect. The set-up was pretty good. The manager is adorable and so are all the guys so far. I can sense how likable they are right off the bat, which is great. There seems to be a type for everyone. I’m excited to see them get introduced one by one, so I can see who to personally root for :)

That was a pretty good start. I'm already enjoying the cast chemistry and just like they seemed like best friends at the start, I feel like I've known them for longer than one episode now. I like how it feels both upbeat & high energy while still having a down to Earth vibe to the characters (not as campy as Starmyu, that's for sure!).

Well, it was an okay start. I like the chemistry between the boys. They seem to get along very well with their manager as well.

I like the animation. The opening looks especially gorgeous.

That bunny mascot is so adorable. ^_^

I'm here because I saw a vid of Nagi fighting terrorism(?), and I have to know the context. As far as first impressions go, I like the dude wearing glasses.

I ranted in real life about how bad this episode was. Nothing was of any consequence, it was entirely about telling rather than showing me why I should like these characters. We see them play basketball but we don't get to see their actual auditions. The whole "cutting 4 members thing" turns out to be a lie and so there weren't actually any stakes. I wasn't given any incentive to like any of these characters. I wish they had shown us the auditions so we as viewers could have decided what to think of the characters rather than the manager going "this guy is super talented!". Well sure, I can believe her, but why not show me that instead of telling me? Why do we have flashbacks to them playing basketball instead of something relevant to actually performing. Also, the basketball scene is made out to be this big thing that demonstrates how well they work together, but it's NOT long enough for me to believe that? Plus, they literally just score max 2 points on screen or something and then go "wow you are so good at basketball and all these other things!" HOW WOULD YOU KNOW? like they can score a few points in basketball - how does this make them qualified to be literal idols?? Then at the end they toss in the "your mother in heaven would be proud of you" about the manager and I am 90% sure that is just an easy cop out to try and get me to care about her character, but I can't. What is there to be proud of? She didn't make any hard decisions, we have no idea what her judging criteria was for these auditions because we did not see them, we don't have any idea what other work she's done - there is literally nothing proving to me that she did anything spectacular.
Also they just throw in this random like edgy thing that I'm sure is meant to come up later but I don't care about it because none of them have given me a reason to be interested in their character. I'm sure someone loves this show, but I could not get into it.
