YAY...the final episode. And I'm thoroughly done with this desperate show.

Tenjo Tenge might've earned their spot, but as expected, everyone came together for a final showing, just like an actual idol stage performance.

Welp, this was bad to OK with the vocal range of a few to single-digits.

this was a really nice (final?) episode, great performances and that encore was cool too. felt like a very satisfying conclusion and that post credit scene though... possible second season?? overall this was quite enjoyable and a decent idol anime, 2/10.

A handdrawn performance! I've nothing agaisnt CGI performance, but seeing handdrawn scene in this age excite me ;)

They perform together as everyone expect, but I bet no one expect they're gonna give a fanservice like real idol, including the nearly kiss fanservice.

Sequel? Yes!

For an idol show, you never really can expect great animation quality but the last performance animation was just so good T__T Thank you animators for giving this so much love, if only a3 had the same treatment, but I'm happy nonetheless

I really liked the last song but the animation didn't look good to me. The 2d animation looked really rough, it would've been much better if the performances were in cg in my opinion.

They really had to put all their characters on stage huh...no surprise there. I liked the fanservice this episode though

Alchemist finally shows up, so its seems like there's going to be another season like A3! had

Literally my thoughts. I'm happy for fans who like well animated idol anime (well mostly) and I-chu fans but a little bitter an A3! fan...oh well ^^;;

ngl I'm not sure what the bear managers idea of tricking everyone until the last minute was. Like bruh if it wasn't for Seiya motivating everyone the mood would've been just dead. Also imagine if one of the members wasn't prepared enough and just made a mess on stage :P


Regardless overall this show has just been kinda.....there. In fairness compared to its most recent show of similarity Ensemble Stars this one definitely a lot easier to follow along and actually had some decent characters so eh


dickhead manager/10

Really? I thought the opposite lol, the 2D actually looked pretty nice, which is quite rare for an idol series tbh

It certainly was a breath of fresh air but I guess I got too used to cg performances that 2d started to look bad lol. It seems like everyone liked it except me.

A performance was a fitting way to end this series.

Dude, the animation really surprised me this time. I mean, they've had already animated something good for Fire Phoenix but this one was amazing and really out of nowhere.

It was a cute series. I liked the characters and their stories, although we only knew a few. It seems like there is stuff from the source still unadapted, and the anime has been hinting at this from time to time.

Also, lmao with those Alchemist guys, appearing when the series is over lmao

Btw the story was very Seiya-centric and I usually wouldn't like this, but this time I really approve it lol Seiya is best boy for sure.

the animation dance choreograph on the start of the joint performance was the best one from this whole anime though it wasnt amazing, it was something id expect to see throughout the whole show but eh this whole series wasn't that great so idrc. a nice way to end a show though, leaving spot for a second season

Wow, what an amazing final episode, everyone singing at the end was pretty much, and the best, all in 2D, had nothing in CGI
This is really quite rare, congratulations to the studio, all very well done
Well, it had a half-open ending, I hope that later announce a new season, I liked even I-chu
6/10

That was a nice ending. From the start I knew that Kuma-kouchou must have a surprise waiting for them. And that surprise turned out to be all I★Chu performing together, a perfect way of ending a concert.

The performance was actually really good and was realistic too. The dance moves were smooth (glad they didn't use CG or else they would look like puppets) and they even kept that bromance fanservice that idols in reality does too.

A new group called Alchemist was introduced at the end so there's a possibility of a second season in the future.

Overall 6/10

As expected, they all performed together. That was amazing performance. The animation looked really good this time.

Overall, this was much better than I expected. This is the best male idol anime I have seen so far.

The characters and their interactions were really entertaining and some of them were very cute and girlish, which was one of the reasons why I liked this so much.

Also, no one tried to flirt with the manager, which also a big plus. I mean, there were some awkward moments with the manager in IDOLiSH7 and MooNs from B-Project: Kodou*Ambitious that I hated so much.

Yeah, definitely a very good show. I want a second season! That post-credit scene already got me excited. I'm curious about the Alchemist.
