Well, you gotta start somewhere and their first performance wasn't half bad at all. Just need more exposure.


umm no. This isn't your ecchi anime, if you want exposure go watch some queen's blade or something..

Anyways this was a great episode.
I felt bad when nobody showed up, but later on they started coming, even though it was a very few of them. And what it looks like to be the future members of U's, minus the 2 girls that were helping out.

It was a great performance for it to have been their first live concert. Which means they are really talented. It sure makes me nervous for them, and then happy for them, which means the anime has gotten my full attention.

Love it. And yeah I agree, the outfits were cute!
Well looking forward next episode!

Our blonde student council president is looking like a antagonist here She and the vice-prez will probably the last ones to join the group.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing all the group members assemble and perform live.

Oh my god, the students were so stupid to not attend the concert. Their performance was so damn good! WTF LOL! I really like how Honoka is a very cheerful and energetic character. Umi reminds me of Mio from K-ON! a lot. xD The singing and song itself was so good.
Looks like the girls who actually showed up to the concert will be joining the idol group. Can't wait for the school council president joins. :D

It was sad to see the auditorium so empty :( but at least they did have a small audience. Their performance was great and Honoka's voice is really nice ;~; I'm excited for Hanayo to join, looks like she will next episode.

If only their school had boys.
They would have fill the room just to see them in their short skirt idol outfits.^_^
Still though kind of strange no one else got interested from all those brochures.
It's not like they would have waste much time to simply go and see a song.

Are there going to be more girls singing in the idol group - or is it just going to be those 3?

Anyway, who do you guys think is the best or worst singer? I loved Umi's voice, but, on the other hand, Kotori's voice was terrible. It sounds so childish.


Of course they will be more girls singing, didn't you see the op?

Japanese seems to like those silly high pinch voices for some reason though. Just look at the craziness around Miku from vocaloid which in all honestly her voice is terrible close to a good singing voice like the one playing Umi for example. And yeah Umi seems to have the most powerful strong voice.

To bounce back from the sight of a non-existent crowd takes courage. Their performance of start:dash was really great, the lighting helped a lot.

This was done really well. I didn't expect the auditorium to be completely empty except for some "stalkers". Kotori's voice was way too high imo, to the point of not feeling real anymore.
I'm looking forward to more of this as it's very entertaining.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

Is it just me, or do half of the parts of their dances look like MMD?

When it gets to a long shot (wide shot) or extreme long shot (at any angle), it seems to use some kind of MMD program.

Example of an iDOLM@STER MMD-ish thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zW52Berp0aM

Nevertheless, the show must go on.

This episode was fantastic!

Just "wow" on the buildup for the concert... how heart-stopping, nobody's there. Thankfully one person showed up so they could perform. I couldn't help but scream "put that over the PA!"... the place would have filled up.

My heart started racing right before the curtain opened and I felt so bummed out when no one was there. The performance was very uplifting and awesome though, it just sucked me right in and I couldn't look away. Love the song. I'm also convinced that one girl with red eyes and twintails is a tsundere. I hope they're able to fill the seats one day like Honoka plans, the sensation of being on stage in front of a completely full audience is otherworldly and satisfying.

I would have dropped this series if the auditorium had been full. So glad they're trying to be at least somewhat realistic about it.

I wonder why Umi didn't just wear spats?

Yeah, they are doing very good job with CG, close-ups are hand-drawn and those far shot from a distance are CG. It feels nicely animated overall.

At first I was heartbroken because their wasn't much of an audience but now I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing now, because they tried their hardest and they made a great performance, too bad only a few people heard it though!

I loved their outfits, and the concert was great! Love that song.

Omg my heart broke when I saw the empty seats and no audience...that was so feelsy but like once that girl walked in and they started performing and then we saw all the other girls watching and/or listening, it made me so much happier.

Did not expect Umi to have stage fright she is so cute! Love her, her skirt issue was funny cause their school skirts are above their knee too so LOL :3

Where are you people in 2015 :( it's killing me too, but nowadays people rather hyping 3D which is super sad. It seems to be a future of anime, which is even more sad.

It is not bad Anime, but 3D is ruining it (like in every other series with ugly CG)

Btw, the setting is almost identical to K-on. There is basically Mio, Mugi and Yui.
Dub = fake crap. Always.

Bah, why the hell do they think that using such abnormally high pitched voices is a good idea? Don't get me wrong: I am not foreign to seiyuu pitches, and how high they can go. However, that glasses girl (who looks trashy, might I add) and silver haired idol (don't care what her name is; if she's worth knowing I would know her name) sound like someone chipmonked their already high pitched voice.

Bah. On the plus side, I liked the music and visuals. Black twin-tailed tsundere loli looks like she'll be my favorite. But of the 3 current idols, Mio 2 takes the cake. The other two are ****-tier idols.


Ladies and gentlemen, we have ourselves a critic. Judging anime idols must be a prerequisite for being the next Simon Cowell.

Must be pretty fun to mock anyone who dares to criticise anime in anime forum.
