I don't know why I'm watching this. This is an okay, if that, series. Maybe because I find Mayonaka cute. This has no real redeeming quality whatsoever.

That's because it's the pool used in most JAVs...Also was a pretty fun episode. One day I will eat a tray full of burgers.
What was good about this was Carl's Jr. is a real US burger chain. It was altered like they do with McDonald's or KFC.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

It was a good episode and I love how they connected audiophiles with the headgears in the game lol and the debt thing that would make you do sidequests(part-time jobs). I actually thought the empty idol at the start was a Synthister(bugged one) 'cause she excited the audience with her emotionless singing lol. Wow Kati appears again and actually said an entire sentence. Hurray Kati!. Did Kati actually leave MOGRA and join Maidreamin or the other way around? Mayonaka is so pretty and sexy. It looks like she definitely likes Tamotsu and they have such good chemistry. The rapping idols at the end we're amazing.
Tamotsu's way of stripping enemies remind me of "The Guide to Quick Change" technique
I hope there would be new members of Electric Mayonnaise and Friends.

All these Sore ga Seiyuu references make me realize that I'd rather rewatch that than more of this.
Seriously, the first episode had me hoping for an alright anime but it went downhill very fast. This episode was really bad.

It's amazing that the 3 seiyuus as the girls part of earphones! Before this episode, I had only recognized Futaba, it's really great to promote them.
Very funny episode, Tamotsu became an hardcore fan extremely fast xD

The fuck is that idol....

Then the audiophile stuff shows up... That was unexpected. LOL

Still, any competent audiophile knows that speakers are king, studio-grade headphones are mainly for mixing accuracy (as they don't have room acoustics to deal with), or the obvious use of portability.

✓ analogue amp
Nautilus-shell speaker cavities, that might actually not be a bad idea. Golden ratio is favourable for waves. (Oh, they're B&W too, damn straight)
#1 problem with this: no idol music is ever made with good enough source instrumentation or mixing to take advantage of decent equipment: rip stereo imaging aka sound-staging (virtual 3D positioning of sounds, usually used to replicate the positions of the band members).

....But yeah, when you hear it for the first time with an amazing setup, it's like losing your virginity - you can't go back.

That JAV stuff lolol. Well there is a mildly problematic JK industry in japan so it's not a huge stretch. I've seen companies that will make you an idol for a day and stuff. There's lots of producers looking for fresh meat that can make big bucks.

This may be my favorite episode yet. Sure, it was kind of all over the place, but it was fun as hell.

The idol at the beginning was super cute, hope we get to see more of her. And even though I'm a huge Hatsune Miku fan, I just don't understand the whole idol craze.

Seeing Carl's Jr. in this episode was awesome, I love that place! What's even better it looks exactly like the one in Akiba. Akiba's Trip is well known for it's ads and sponsors, it's what makes Akiba's Trip feel more authentic when it's being sponsored by actual business in Akihabara.

Arisa is pretty damn sexy, but in the end I think I like Mayo the best.

I hate to say it, but man the animation for the song looked bad. It's like it had 10 frames per second, it was so choppy looking.

Nonetheless, I'm having a blast watching this show.

Well this one episode, passes the test. Really fun, both the first and the second part of the narrative, perhaps even a little true the question on the purity of the sound. The only regret that I leave this episode, you see the animations, so woody, during the concert of the three protagonists; for the rest, the quality was quite good.

The part with audio accessories obsession was pretty much random and waste of time but the rest of the episode was actually kinda good.

But not nearly amused enough to care to continue. Dropping.

So... why do people not like this show? This is pretty good! The subbed version is OK, but Funimation's dub is one of the funniest I've seen in a while! And they release those episodes the day of the original Japanese broadcast! How do they write all this great material so fast?

The idol part was pretty boring (I just can't get myself to care about this male protagonist), but the second half really made up for it with all the bikini shots.
