| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  Slow episode. Sigh, the pacing felt like it went a bit backwards. I have to say that Anzu is a cutie in this particular episode though. Happy happy~ |
 |
| I was hoping that moving the focus away from the new woman would improve things. Boy was I wrong. This was probably the worst episode yet, and that's saying something given how dismal they have all been so far. Gotta love the forced drama from someone feeling ill on the job and choosing two people who are useless at interviews to do them (which is also a sin of sheer stupidity). Kirara is still annoying as hell but she did have a few nice moments with Anzu this episode, which is nice. |
| I've been waiting for my two favourite girls (Kanako and Chieri) to have their episode. I personally loved this. Watching them grow and become more confident in themselves was precious. Shame worst idol ever got screentime. I seriously don't get why people like Anzu, but never mind :P |
| It's only me, or art suddenly gotten much better? |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
    Her faces are the best part of this anime. |
| Kirari and Anzu are good girls, Sachiko a smug. I dunno how to feel about Kanako and Chieri, as much as I originally liked Kanako because she resembled a fat Yuno with Hiro's personality, it just kinda felt disappointing seeing those two in the spotlight playing off their tropes instead of being living curtains that give out tea and cookies, which is odd. I believe that TakeP needs to smile more than three times in an episode to break the Cinderella curse, he keeps giving us two or three cheeky adorable egaos, but I believe he can give even more. |
| kirari and anzu make an awesome duo. they've grown on me in this episode. |

| I like how this season is full of wonderful moments. Seeing Kanako and Chieri smile at the end like that really warmed my heart. |
 |
| That was slow but well delivered. fatalystic said: Oh dear. I think I'm starting to like Kirari's weird speech pattern. ... Run while you can. |
 » Escapism. |
| I felt my brain bleeding throughout this entire episode. The retarded voice of Anzu's partner and the high pitched squealing of the other two loser-girls completely did my head in. What the **** am I even watching anymore. |

| Calling the producer P-chan... Now everytime I see the producer I have to think about P-chan from Ranma 1/2. |

I am surprised at how much I came to like Kirari. I totally disliked her back when the anime started but now everything I want is to hear her verbal tic. |
 |
| Chieri and Kanako finally got their episode. both of them always had confident issue,glad they were able to overcame it. point to Anzu too, despite her laziness, she still care for her friend. overall it was good episode. somehow,from next episode title, I got a feeling that next episode will involve Natsuki. well gotta wait for the preview,it will out tomorrow night usually. |
| Kirari and Anzu is so cute together. |
| Idolm@ster episode 6 preview : It seems I was right(from my yesterday post), Natsuki will appear in the next episode, though it will mostly focus on Riina. |
| I'm just not feeling this season. There are always little sweet moments, such as Anzu worrying about her coworkers or when the four leaf clover was broken... But they don't make up the majority of the episode. I am really hoping things start to pick up next episode. I can't help but compare this to the first Imas which I enjoyed a lot more so far. |
| I liked this episode! I'm grateful for something with a decent bit of Anzu and Kirari focus, they're my favorites. And MAN, the scene where they discussed how they felt about working with each other really provided that and then some! Really cute! I just wish things were kinda different on Kanako and Chieri's end. I mean, I guess dealing with that bit of awkwardness while Anzu was out of the picture is something of an issue, but how it was resolved in the end was kinda... lame. Just give some candy to the big girl, and have the other one do a little confidence trick? Ehh. |

| Kanako and Chieri are literally two of the most annoying characters on this show. Like, why would you even audition to become an idol if you're painfully shy and hate speaking in front of people? It's almost a given that being able to interact with people naturally is part of the idol job description. In any real idol group girls like them would've never even made it past auditions. |

Yep only in Japan. I...literally am not misunderstanding anything? Lol? I'm a huge fan of real life idols. If you want me to go into detail... AKB48 auditions usually consist of singing and dancing rounds followed by numerous interview rounds. Morning Musume (and Hello Project in general) have similar audition processes where the producer will get to know the girls to see if they have that "idol aura" or potential. There are situations where a "shy" or reserved girl will get through auditions, but very few to the point of being completely inept in front of the camera like Kanako and Chieri. There are trademark "awkward" idols but they're usually playing up a character. And the few idols who truly are shy around people/crowds usually don't make it big and graduate within a couple of years. If they somehow stick around, it's very unlikely they'll be given variety opportunities. The idol industry is cutthroat, if a girl actually wants to become famous she needs to have charisma. |
SASHIHARA said: tbh I'm not following any real idol, so thanks for the info. Okay my fault, you didnt misunderstand but I just simply disagree, sorry.I...literally am not misunderstanding anything?

If they somehow stick around, it's very unlikely they'll be given variety opportunities. The idol industry is cutthroat, if a girl actually wants to become famous she needs to have charisma. Yep, Chieri is painfully shy (I think Kanako is not really shy, huh), but they are definitely not "hate speaking in front of people" so questioning why they become idol in the first place is going too far, imo. You said it yourself, shy ones can through the audition even though they wont be popular or anything. Well, all girls in Cinderella Project is most likely scouted, not from audition though (blame Producer, maybe ... ? lol). And Kanako-Chieri is debuted as Candy Island and they both saved by Anzu so far. "It's almost a given that being able to interact with people naturally is part of the idol job description." The Producer knows this, so he gives interview job for Kanako and Chieri, because they need this. It's not absolute rule, what I mean is, the idol have to capable to do that, but not instantly. Like, Yukiho from 765 imas, she's afraid of males, like "It's almost a given that being able to interact with man naturally is part of the idol job description.". But she become idol because she want to change that. Afaik, idol industry sells that point. The story of their growing, their effort, their attractiveness, etc. That's why they're different with professional singer, actor, musician or even girlband? So I'm not disagree about Kanako-Chieri wont through real-life audition, but the "given" thing you talked about. Well if my definition of idol is wrong, then I have to blame my friend (who like akb) who tell me all this lol. |

| I have a new found appreciation for Kirara, she's just so easy going and knows how to stay positive. I always thought Anzu was like 8 years old so that was a big jaw dropper. Kanako and Chieri are precious as always, seeing the cute n' shy characters breaking out of their shells always gets me. |
 |
| I can't believe how boring this is. rsc-pl said: It's only me, or art suddenly gotten much better? Well the art was good but there was almost no movement/actual animation. There were tons of stills and pans where things looked pretty, though. |
| Anzu-chan and Kirari-chan looks together. It's like a mother with her child. |
 |
| Chieri and Kanako always annoy me so much, so I couldn't enjoy the episode very much. Though I also don't really like Kirari, paired with Anzu she is acceptable for me. The best part of the episode were Sachiko and the ending song. |

| Kirari is love. She's got this warm aura that always seems to keep her smiling no matter how complicated a situation can be. +1 Anzu "Leaving the Anzu nest", this girl lol. She's quite hilarious |
 |
| Eh I have gotten used to Kirari and Anzu, I like them together now. I'm surprised I'm finding Kirari a bit cuter this season, I used to find her annoying. I agree, I'm starting to like her speech pattern, what is going in this world. Anzu was already fun and now she's only getting better. Producer smile is hnng-worthy. Ok about s2 so far. The "drama plot" is forced, but I feel like the character interactions have gotten better. I feel like Kanako and Chieri both needed a better duo. They are too similar. Dat Kirarin attack was so cute That ED song was good. I'm glad the two shy girls got some more confidence. Good episode. |

| They protected the smile of that man, I'm happy. Kirari and Anzu make such a cute duo. |
 |
| Even Anzu is working hard :O I'm just glad that Kanako and Chieri are finally opening up :) |
 |
| Kirari & Anzu and Kanako & Chieri are so cute duos. I especially love Kirari and Anzu. They are so adorable together. :3 |
 |
| Also Anzu is 17?.. Well, just some months and she's 18 then, it means.. Hm.. So what exactly helped Chieri and Kanako in the end?.. Being interested in the things around?.. More thinking about that than not to be nervous, or something?.. I'm not too sure, if I caught idea properly.. |
| No wonder Anzu sleeps all the time, her back must have hurt like hell for carrying her entire unit. Fun fact, Kirari is older than Anzu by literally 1 day, and they're almost half a meter apart in height (186 cm vs 139 cm). |
 |
| Kinda weird how Kirarin and Anzu aren't on the same group despite them being so close. |
