These days, the so-called “fansubbers” just use subs ripped from official sources. I would not be surprised if they were waiting for Crunchyroll to release the episode first.

Decided to check it out ended up enjoying it, Producer-san is softer and maybe less mature than Broducer from CG but I guess he fits well considering the Idols he'll be handling.

Also Momoka 😭

I loved it, I'm still relatively new to idol shows but I found it funny that every stereotype for models in a group were there lol

The tsundere, the cute girls, the goth girl, the sporty girl, etc.  It reminded me of CUE! in a weird way

I had low expectations because all-kids focus like when Log Horizon did it was awful. But this episode has turned that around, perhaps an unexpectedly mature take on child idols with some SoL? Children are definitely not the target audience here since they showed smoking producers, and the airing times are late at night.

I gotta say, manlet producer is a huge turn off. Not sure why they went this route.
Sounds like a You problem.

Didn't expect this level of quality for a spin off. Looks even better than the 2015 cinderella girls (which was a good looking show to begin with)

I have always wondered about the series but I'm too lazy to watch the previous seasons, might as well start with this one, bonus points being full of lolis.

Crunchyroll finally added the first two episodes so I am a week late to this first episode, and this also happens to me my final new Spring 2023 show for that reason, and it’s definitely a good one to end with. This is actually my first Idolmaster show, I’m doing what I did back in Fall 2020 with Love Live and watching the newest entry in the series first since you don’t really need to watch these in a certain order, and damn this was really good. The art and animation was really nice and goddamn if it wasn’t cuteness overload.

I also like the main lad a lot, he was a bit awkward at first but he quickly warmed up to the girls and ended up getting to Arisu with his words about idols, and what is there to say about the girls besides omega cute, so many different types of cute but all cute nonetheless, did I mention that they’re cute? Lol. And that was a damn good OP if that was what that was at the end of the episode, very nice song and awesome visuals. I’m excited to continue this one and hopefully I’ll be an Idolmaster fan when this is over!

Yeah, I really like the fact that the manager was younger and inexperienced. I think he'll mix better with the girls because of that and can be a learning experience for everyone.

Thanks a lot! I don’t know much about the fansub community, but that explained why Ep. 1 was dissappeared and delayed for a time. Crunchy was faster with Ep. 2, and with that, “subbers” too.

It’s nice to see you again in a discussions thread lol, and I 100% agree with that, he’s a pretty lighthearted guy too and is already popular among the girls.

No. Her parents are just really neglectful. Which is a shame because Nina is adorable.

Soo. Idolmaster is back. Its been "a few" years since cinderella girls and I've basically forgotten everything.

Anyway. Not sure how many eps this is going to get, it says 12 though, which uh. Considering there's 9 girls that feels like an awfully big squeeze.

The first ep itself, mostly an introduction, it was nice that they actually introduced everyone, even if I can't actually remember their names.

For now it remains to be seen, but arisu definitely has an interesting (and different) personality. Momoka looks interesting as well, and risa too. Miria and the others though, while they never directly told us their age, not only do they sound they definitely act very uh, childish/childlike. The producer being basically a total newbie seems like an interesting twist, hopefully nothing bad happens (please no dorama)

I wasnt expecting onegai cinderella to show up not once but like 2/3 times.

It's still early but so far I dont see any obvious 3/3/3 division of the girls, but maybe they wont do it, or it could be 432 or some other combination.

EDIT: According to the idolmaster wiki, yeah everyone is either 12 or below.
Funny thing is none of the girls are 10, though I'm assuming calendar won't be a thing.
(Nina and kaoru are actually 9, oh my)


(Off topic, from my understanding this is adapted from a manga, but I'm curious as to why anzu isnt here. Though despite her uh, stature she's quite senior. Gonna have to check since I think all the u149 arent just short in height)

Pretty cute and entertaining first episode. I loved the first season of The IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls. This gives me the same fluffy vibes.

Lmao, Arisu is kind of a bitch but she's cute so it doesn't matter lol 
Kinda wack how the new Demon Slayer's first episode on Crunchyroll has like 10k comments, but this show's first episode has like 25 comments
People's priorities are all wrong these days. New fangled anime fans probably don't even know this franchise exists smh

What the f-ck, why is the animation sooo good???? It's not fair lol

I loved how this episode ended with both characters singing the same song at the same time but in different situations, it was nicely done.

btw I don't get something, since there was a poster of New Generations on the subway I assume the Cinderella Girls anime is canon, so, why is Miria here? They could've said she was transfered or something like that but this was clearly her first time in an unit so that isn't the case, I found that to be kinda weird. I'll just pretend the CG anime never happened :/
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~
Btw, cry about it.

Lol, not that much parental troubles, but there was some. She's a cool idol too. Who could Arisu reminded me of? 

Anyway, 9 characters is probably too much for a 12 episode. Let's see how they go through this.

As expressed by a video recently from one of the im@s fan channels:

-the continuity of the series' timeline is pretty all over the place 😂

They like making references to each of the other series related to iM@S (like how you see a cameo of Rin Shibuya on the credits in "THE iDOLM@STER MOVIE") but regarding actual like where does this fit in to everything else????? it's hard to grasp a sense of that in the whole series.
Episode 3 featuring Miria as the main focus that episode, we can deduce that the Cinderella Project from the 2015 anime has no relation to what happens here as the general audience didn't even know who she is and so U149 can be labelled as a spin-off or perhaps even a parallel universe. But it is a bit sad considering that means Decoration with Rika and Kirari too wouldn't've been an established unit and connection here as well. (This also makes me think that like if they do pop up in later episodes, that would get even more confusing ahahahah)

But as you mentioned, best to pretend none of the CG anime ever happened when watching U149 🙈

Kinda weird how Miria is here. 

i thought she was a part of Dekoration?

I wonder if other members of the series like Rika will appear again.

this series happens in a parallel universe to that of the first Cinderella Girls anime, so even if Rika does make an appearance, units such as 凸レーション may not exist. Some units such as New Generations do make an appearance, but their origin in this universe may be different to that of Cinderella Girls season 1.

I really love this series,

Everyone's so cute :D

.

The loli division is probably the cutest, lol, and they also gave them a small producer, I am gonna imagine him with a giant yellow [ P ] head.

Arisu is so cute, being the most mature out of all the loli, she has the mind set to work her hardest.

This is my second series with the im@s franchise. Quite a promising start, production quality (and the idols too) is top notch.
