The iDOLM@STER Shiny Festa

The girls of 765 Production Studio are eagerly preparing for the International Music Festival on Vacation Island. Coupled with an amusement park and a high-class resort, the festival promises several days of fun for everyone. That is, until their producer announces that they only have enough room for one unit to participate.

In three different scenarios where everyone is split into three groups, one of the three is chosen to partake in the International Music Festival, where they are treated to a three-day vacation before starring in the festival's concert. From the moment they step off the boat until the main event, each group of girls experiences the festival in their own way, excited to take part in the highly anticipated performance.

Seeing as nobody has written a review on the show, I figured I would write one myself.

The iDOLM@STER Shiny Festa is essentially a three-episode OVA that depicts three distinct scenarios with varied 765 Production Studio members. The OVA doesn't really add anything to the overall story of the show, but it is worth watching for fans of the iDOLM@STER series. Think of this as your typical beach OVA episode. This OVA's main goal was to demonstrate the positive effects that music can have on both those who listen and those who perform it. The show's excellent musical score is, as to be expected from the ... series, the series' standout feature. In comparison to other idol shows, the dancing's choreography also far exceeds the competition.

These filler episodes are completely skippable, but I encourage fans of the show to watch and take in the group members' interactions as well as the songs performed by our favorite idols. This is what you would expect from The iDOLM@STER series.

So Shiny Festa is a three episode OVA that depicts the girls being selected to participate in a music festival, but festival itself is a separate instance, so this OVA works like a linear visual novel in a sense where the beginning & end are the exact same for each episode, but the girls are broken into different groups for each episode and go about their performances in their own way. All main members of 765 receive a moderate & justifiable amount of exposure through each episode as well.

There's not quite much to note about this as it all plays out like a standard ... scenario from the main show. Quality is still up to snuff from the music, implementation of it, the art, etc. Felt like an odd choice to create a repeat scenario rather than have each group take on unique situations, but aside from that there's not much to scoff from. Recommend? Not sure I'd say that exactly, but as a fan of the series you may as well whenever you can as it's around an hour overall.
