THEY'RE BACK.

New staff member and all the girls return. I have to say, I'm glad to see them again. There's some weird stalker rumor going on as well. Silly episode. I think the season is getting warmed up though. Hope to hear some exciting music and songs for this season! There's some nice guitar tunes already..

I'm confused. Did they release the entire season at once?
With this show being available to watch on MAL, all the episodes seem to be available from the start...

It's about time they showed Mayu in her true colors, she's quite scary sneaking up on people like that, I did like the suspense, I didn't have a clue that the shadow was Mayu until she was spotted.

Nice Miyako cameo

not that bad of a first episode, the silliness with producer was pretty funny and nice amount of characters showed up. i wonder how this season is gonna play out with that last scene

A lot of great cameos this episode, my heart skipped a beat when I saw Koume.
Fantastic episode, when I heard the word stalker, I knew it had to be Mayu.
All groups are disbanded? Pretty sure this won't be for long.
Pretty glad this show is back, I have high hopes for the second half.

Lots of randomness, but it's alright as a first episode I suppose. Most interesting bit was at the end about starting anew. That should have an interesting effect on things going forward, and hopefully it will cause things to change for the better somewhat.

All those cameos!! I'm esp happy to see Koume and Natsuki!! Hopefully we can see even more characters making cameos in the future episodes.

I'm hoping that this season will become as deep as the last half of the original anime was.

I'm also kinda curious if they will ever make Million Live anime at some point in the future..

Start off the first episode with a reminder of how dominant im@s is and to let us not forget about the units. Throughout the entirely of the anime, role call dialogues, aren't they so convenient? And the anime went nowhere with the first episode. Once again, they show us how everyone is a cinderella girl and each is incredibly talented. Pulling up old jokes and scenes, like producer is a convicted pedophile. But, please, don't let this be another "corruption" problem, already seen that used for Jupiter and i1.

Great start for the second season. Loved it! They still used the OP from the first season but with new visuals showing each idol units from the main cast. Lots of cameos from many other idols too.

I hope Nina Ichihara finally makes her appearance in this season. :3

But that last bit........disbanding all the company's idol units?! Whoa, whoa, whoa! I highly object! >_>

Al the 25 the episode is so close to be perfect (except for some details in the animation), but... the last 30 seg..... I can hear the inner Producer voice saying "You manics You blew all"

All the hard work for form the units, to the trash....frikin Malefic.

This is not what I'd call a relevant episode, however it was fun to watch.

I'm pretty sure that the disbanding of the units means they will finally be regrouped as they're in the game (Ankira, Rock the Beat, Triad Primus...) Just think about it, New Generations is the only unit Mishino mentioned and it's the only one from the game that has appeared in the anime, Rin met Karen and Nao, they'll eventually become Triad Primus, Riina met Natsuki so they'll eventually become Rock The Beat, so looks like the game-canon grouping is close.

This is entirely unsettling.
To be honest, I was never quite sold on this show, and no matter how I try to look on the bright side, it worries me.
I just don't get good vibes from this show. Character by character maybe.
It's nice to see the other characters, but if the anime becomes the game, then it'll mean breaking p the nice little family they've got.
I might have been okay if Mishino hadn't been the one explaining it.
She scares me. You know you can be a competent business woman without being downright terrifying.
She reminds me a little too much of Lady Tremaine from the show's namesake.
I go by many names, some call me Hoshimaru, others call me Jiro or Aosou-Kun.
I believe myself a force for good, a papercrafter by trade, and one who seeks love and beauty animesque.

Koume though... She truly warms my very heart and soul with her distinctive traits and social awkwardness. <3

It's gotten to the point where existence itself has become nothing but a meme; an existence that I want nothing to do with anymore.

Ahh finally the Season 2 here.

at first I though the first episode of season 2(or episode 14)was just relaxing episode with showing all Idol unit getting more popular and more jobs like from original Idolm@ster.
seems I'm wrong about this. it's true that they getting more popular, but it was not the highlight of this episode.

many Idols beside the main Idols also appear in this episode they mainly focused on Karen,Nao,and Nastsuki. maybe it's a hint that they will appear more in future episode.

Mayu stalking Producer for a different reason LoL.


so the office woman from the preview PV is the higher up in the company.
she made quite interesting move by disbanding all the current Idols project.
really wonder how it's gonna work for everyone.(they obviously will be surprised)


can't wait for next episode to see how this will turn out.
next episode title "when the spell is broken..." really give you a bad/sad feel from it.

This episode was great if you already know who all the characters introduced here already are. Mayu-chan certainly lived up to her character haha. Sooo eerie. And Koume made an appearence too. :>

Overall, Rika had the best outfit this episode w/ those pink overalls. Seeing Kirari being really scared is pretty unexpected of her but also really cute. :3

Annnnnd we're back. Here's to hoping the second season will be a bit better.

Seeing Minami and Anastasia again is so <3

Mio's ghost expression was pretty neat. As for the "stalker," I'm gonna guess it's that executive director.

Nao ain't shy, she's just your typical tsundere.

Everyone's being too paranoid /sigh/ Ah, Natsuki finally steps in! This is looking to be more interesting.

You're so creepy, Mayu... but it seems the mystery was wrapped up.

You know what would be cool? If the new general executive producer implemented this really divisive, controversial change that causes everyone initial hardships, but through a lot of toil and understanding, it turns out that Mishiro's intuition built upon years of experience was right. It introduces a new dynamic to the group that they've never seen before, and while they don't like each other, Mishiro and the group end up respecting each other for their talents as professionals. They'll continue to defy each other and give each other crap, but it's done for the best of the fans and the industry.

...Well, I can hope.

Took me a while to get into the show again. Overall Rin's been my favorite idol, along with Ranko but wow Mayu was hilarious. The way she was acting was great. I like her yandere personality.

Ending scene, interesting.

Riina is annoying with how she is "I LOVE ROCK BLAHBLAH" yet she has no idea which artist is rock and which isn't. She said she loves rock more than anyone. Well, it sure doesn't seem like that. She just likes the feeling of the word, doesn't she? Meh. She had potential.

And I'm glad Mayu wasn't after Producer. He deserves someone far better than a creepy yandere.

Not a bad episode. Not sure where it will go from here tho.
