| This episode was so depress that they didn't put OP in it? |
 |
| Not bad overall narration although I would have given four slaps to the irresponsible Mio. The narrative should perhaps stop for a moment on this situation that had arisen after the mini live, to study better the psyche of the three protagonists, just to not make this an unnecessary brackets. Plot that moves forward without any twist, what a pity! I would have preferred that P-san was a little harder with Mio and somehow Uzuki praised for the way it has dealt with commendable solution; because she though perhaps the least gifted of the three, has demonstrated its passion in becoming a true Idol. Drawings and animations good, although what struck me most is the scenery made very well. |
 |
| No new episode today. Just a recap of the events up to this point with the idols and live show talk. FRIED CHICKEN. |
 |
 |
| A lovely episode but hopefully the future dramas do not feel so unnatural :) |
 |
| Good episode. Not great, but good. What is Mika doing hanging around? She's already a star... |
  |
Hoppy said: I-Is that an episode not focused on the trio I see!? Maybe, just maybe, the rest of the series will be enjoyable. |
| Mio is only looking at numbers...therefore she's dumb at Math. |
 |
| Definitely a redeeming episode, it took what could have been a worse case scenario for my enjoyment of this iM@S entry and flipped it around. I feel much better finishing this episode than I did the last one. I had always found Producer to be lacking in communication skills so I'm glad they addressed that and didn't pin it all on Mio being emotional. Rin laid down some real talk this episode and now I see why she's so popular. The message was really nice too. That it wasn't about about quantity of audience but rather quality of their smiles. It seems like smiles are a core theme in this show and this episode managed to make me end it on one myself. |
 |
| Producer stepped up and handled the situation very well. He was pretty much lost on what to do, then Rin has a conversation with him in the office. Not knowing who to trust, escaping the situation. The make up scene with Rin was nicely done. Producer offering his hand to Rin, he can't let his princesses down. As for Mio, she failed to realize being an idol isn't just about having huge audiences. It's also about making people smile. Basic Idol 101. |
 |
| In a few words : Quality smiles > Quantity smiles I love how P-san have a suspicious aura. |
| I didn't really notice this in previous episodes, but the Cinderella metaphors are somewhat heavy-handed. I understand that's it's not a happy scenario. After all, the color saturation's toned down, everything darkened, and there's somber instrumental music playing all the way through. Still, none of this is feels warranted. I see the energy and enthusiasm of the characters. That's obvious from previous episodes. However, I what I don't see is the drive behind it all. Why are the characters involved in the idol business to begin with? Why is this moment so traumatizing? I don't need something grand or deep as some tragic backstory, I just want a reason for why this was so heavy. It felt like everyone was in mourning over a character I can only guess they've known for a couple weeks at best. And Mio, from what I could tell, was addicted to the adrenaline rush of being on stage, and by not having that satisfied, in addition to promising too much to her friends, was enough to go into shock. Besides that, I'm sure there's a story behind the Cinderella theme. They've also made that obvious by the whole enchanting feel of everything, on top of the fleeing dream-like fantasy giving way to the mundane. This, along with the characters' motivations, will probably be touched on in future episodes, but for now, I'm not buying into neither the comedic character gimmicks nor the drama. I'm at least thankful that it was solved within one episode, but I suppose the short lead-up and conclusion is another concern. |

| The conclusion was predictable. I'm glad this quitting segment is finally over. |
 |
| Producer is so cute and cool? I think I am a little obsessed with him now. When he smiled, also when he used casual speech asdghjkl.Love. That was one of the better episode. Usami really is cute, loved her moments with producer. |
 |
| I don't really like this producer. He had some savage moments, but his lack of personality is really boring. I hope this is just him being inexperienced as a producer, but I doubt it. |
| lol fried chicken |

| God, I love Producer, the poor man doesn't deserve this, he even kept asking the other girls how they felt about the mini concert worried that maybe he fucked up organizing it, but don't worry man, it's just Mio being ungrateful. I honestly found interesting this drama, for what I have seen so far idol anime tend to make the characters as likeable as possible (and I'm totally fine with that), with the "it will be hard but I will reach my dream!" objective of the girls, and if someone quits it's mostly due to a bad experience or their current situation (like Chihaya in the main Idolmaster), but nope, in this one Mio was just a bitch who refused to accept that her first concert taking the lead barely had people outside of family and friends, and they didn't try to redeem her at all for that, and tbh that was pretty cool as well. That doesn't change the fact that she basically sealed the deal for worst girl spot tho. |
 |
| This (Idolmaster Cinderella Girls anime ep 1-7) is the first Idolmaster I enjoyed ever. I've never played the game, nor watched the first anime (Idolmaster anime), nor read any official material, but I enjoyed it so far. I heard some of you said there are cameos in the episodes. May I ask what are the cameos and from which media (the game, or the previous anime, or both, or other medias? I start to like the series and I want to like it more. Thanks. |
 |
| Basically what I said last episode. I am glad this pointless drama is over for now |
 |
| "Im a failure as a leader".no shit Sherlork -ruined the mood of the event -almost destroyed their newly established unit For the love of god why did they make her the leader? Uzuki would have fit the role so much better. The saving grace of this episode was good girl Uzuki and best girl Producer. |
 |
| I'm happy they made up. Everything is back to normal. Nice character development for the producer, Mio, and Rin. |

| Well.. Manager did say to producer.. That it might be a breaking project.. Both for girls.. And for producer.. Wonder, if maybe in the past producer didn't manage to get along with his groups as well.. Or something like that happened.. Like some problem with producer.. It seems that maybe that was the case.. With what manager said.. Certainly something happened with producer in the past, it seems.. Yeah.. And now manager tells the story to everyone.. Without any specifics.. Giving hint that something went wrong, and he couldn't get through it with the group in the past.. |
| Idc what anyone says, I love the way the producer talks and how he is super serious and straightfoward. |
