How do those people not notice an idol singing in the middle of the street, kawaii girl who's dancing as well. Well at least the little girl noticed which she looked like a mini version of Mana-chan. Heck I'd bet if Miss Monochrome pulled A Wrecking Ball in the middle of the street people would notice.

Good job Mana, hard work pays of.

I'm going to miss this series, first mini series that I have really enjoyed. Loved seeing the ED animated in the show; this gets a 9/10 from me.

Who in their right mind found this series to be interesting or even enjoyable at all? One of the most pointless shows that I have ever watched, and it wasn't even funny.

"Manager, I want to go higher.." Sorry bitch, your stuck with your bad score.

Verdict: 2/10

Good guy Santa :D

This was pretty sad...but ended on a good note. Nice dress as well.

This had its moments, some were brilliant but most of them not so much. Second half was mostly OK.

Wish we could get more of conclusion cos most of the time I was just feeling sad for Mono-chan :/

Monochrome's performance was nice, it was so heartbreaking to see how no one paid attention to her. On the other hand, it was heartwarming and beautiful when that one girl admired her, it shows that she's finally getting through even if only one person at a time. Christmas was a nice way to wrap it up as well, her idolship being a gift from Santa for all that she's done.

Overall this was a very enjoyable series. It was full of random fun and it was enjoyable to watch the various adventures of Miss Monochrome. Would definitely tune in for more and hope to see the rising idol again. 8/10

That was unexpectedly heartwarming.

Everything up until the drama of episode 9 was about 7.6 overall. That episode didn't really fit with the overall mood of the series up until that point. I'm not sure how else they could have brought her back story into the fold, but it just didn't seem to fit the format. Episode 10 was probably the most funny episode, so the episodes that followed paled in comparison. At least the last episode achieved the heartwarming that they were aiming for (much more so than the previous episode whose attempt at emotionality was marred by the slightly humorous but painful reminder of Mana-chan's betrayal).

Aside from that, the ED was catchy and worth watching every single time. I was a fan of Hocchan to begin with and this just added to my admiration for her.

7.3/10

It was surprisingly quite nice. Besides developing a huge crush on Miss Monochrome and her beautiful ED, this anime had some great parts. A lot of stuff was somewhat flat, like the emotion or the pacing of more important episodes or the repetitiveness of it all. But when the mark was hit, some sort of fluttery, warm feeling came inside of me and I couldn't help but smile. I enjoyed those moments and some parts were really heartwarming, especially this last episode.

I give it a 6. Would have been a 5 without this episode.
moving on.

Yay, our Monochrome-chan is able to make his way in the world of idol, well to enter the glossy world of the latter. We are not even at Christmas, but I wish you all a happy Christmas Eve. Nice this TV series, Monochrome genius then I go to give him an extra point on the final vote.

6+1/10.

I can't expect anything in this show. Since it's pure comedy, everything is absurd yet hilarious

So, for an advertisement show about a "virtual idol", it lacks any idol content. It was more a series of random activities, and the end goal was only rescued thanks to "divine intervention"..
It tries to be funny and some jokes work (thanks to the format) but most of them don't. It tries to have a scifi/fantasy scenario probably to make it a conductory line for other series to come.

Even as a fan-service product, I don't see the appeal: the voice of the seiyû is robotized, there is almost no music except at the end.

4-5/10
5 if it proves to be only an introduction to the actual thing.

Over-the-top random and sometimes funny. Although it didn't make me laugh often, it was a oddly charming series.

Okay, that went nowhere. Could've been much better as a full-length series. Felt like I was writing a funnier, fleshed-out plot in my head the whole time I was watching it.

The first episode where she got scammed out of all her money was mildly amusing, but I wanted to see the scamming loli get some kind of comeuppance for her actions; instead the show lets her get away with it.

I also wish we would've known more about the manager - specifically how he convinces these different places to hire Miss Monochrome, how he balances his outside life with this crazy android who thinks he's an idol manager, etc.

Roomba was best character.

Miss Monochrome really looked slick in that black dress outfit, they really know how to dress her. I also liked her performance, too bad there was one audience member, but an idol never falters from just a single viewer- the show must go on! I still can't believe Mana really is a con artist, I thought she would have a valid reason why she disappeared with Miss Monochrome's money, but clearly not since she seems to be not bothered and spent it on that giant ruby ring.

Overall it was a fun short series and I will check out season 2 for sure!

I must admit, that was sweet. I decided to give this show a 5, it really wasn't that good in my opinion but I liked some of the ideas.
I wish they fleshed out a bit Miss Monochrome's character. I know that this is a short series but they could've still done something to make her be a little bit less predictable.
Well, even though her character type is definitely not one I usually like and she herself wasn't much of an exception, I still enjoyed following her in her journey. I really like her design though, that's the reason I started this show.
There were some pretty good jokes, but the majority fell flat for me, they were way too random while at the same time being very predictable.
Giving Miss Monochrome a tragic backstory was just as random to be fair. At least it explained her determination but that's all it added to her character. And once again, the randomness strikes with the alien invasion. What purpose does it serve in the story ?
But this show definitely has a weird charm that made me want to see each episode. I can't bring myself to call it bad, it's just very weird and random.
