| Was great episode, many performances, a little equipment drama. Pure Idolm@ster. When the equipment short-circuited, and they had to finish acapella, was just memories of the first season of that Chihaya performance. Tsumugi and Kaori already having a solo song each. The final song was good, but felt somewhat lacking a wow factor. |

| I've never been happier, this is easily my favorite episode in all of anime. Every song and the visuals are all amazing and I almost collapsed when Tsumugi performed Ruriiro Kingyo to Hanashoubu as it is my favorite iDOLM@STER song and honestly just in general. Everything about that performance was just perfect I am still in awe after almost an hour with my smile that can't seem to fade away. Only thing I wished would've happened was them performing UNION!!. I don't think I will ever have a different favorite anime after this. I remember when this anime was first announced and I was so happy (also made the first forum thread on here back then), time flew by so quickly since then and now it's all over. Probably will never happen but I am wishing for another season. |

Last episode. It's sad that this anime is now over. Hope for Season 2 to be added Great performance overall, but I feel that something is kind of missing at the end of the performance. Idk But overall, Really good episode. Glad that I watch miriani, one of the best anime that I watched Also...  After that equipment problem... Well, this scene hits me, and even harder because Anna was there :') |
  Kotomi & Nanami  Anna Mochizuki  |
| Nice wrap-up episode. Now. let's wait for the second season. btw, I really love the end credit where everyone was classified by their team. The same ultra-orange energy |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| From the episode preview in ep 11, I thought it'd be the return of Kuroi hijacking things. However, it appears they must've hired him to build the sound system instead because it's useless lmao |

| For anyone who is interested in the origin of Sentimental Venus event, this guy has it compiled in yt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsOjWls771I The anime officially ends today, as a producer who started their Idolm@ster journey from Million Live franchise. This anime holds a special meaning to me. The 10 year long waiting for it to be animated alongside all the loyal producers, I can safely say it did not disappoint at all. This anime holds a special place in all the producers I believe , especially to the ML franchise one. The amount of lore and content that got animated, the new songs, the OP and ED, the connection in between the 39 Idols, and their connection to the AS. Everything has been a feast. The final episode was so good, I started crying the moment they reenacted the SV scene (flashbacks of 2nd live and ML act3-2) , actually no I started crying the episode before when Tsubatti started singing rocket star, but anyway, Yeah, solid Million/10 for me, hey I know I'm bias but coming from ML so do forgive me :kotohoops: |

| I NEED A 2ND SEASON. Million Live was easily one of the best idol anime ever. I loved every second of it. Loved all the characters and need to see more of them in the anime. As I've said before, this was the best Idolm@ster anime since the OG Idolm@ster. It took so long for Million Live to get an anime and it delivered. I really hope they announce a 2nd season in the future. |

| THIS EPISODE WAS PEAK! PEAK I TELL YOU!!!!!!! EVERY SONG WAS AMAZING, THE CGI WAS NEXT-LEVEL, I ADORED EVERY SECOND OF THIS. 10/10 ONE OF THE BEST IDOL ANIMES WITHOUT A DOUBT!!! THIS IS HOW A CROSS-GENERATION IDOL ANIME SHOULD BE MADE!!!  (I would react the same way if I saw Haruka-saaan 😭❤️) |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| OH, retract my earlier episode thread's comment. I guess they saved Team 5th's performance for last episode with a semi-full performance and not a cut-short right before it end scene. . And RIP the equipment... They tried their best, good thing they're in a indoor station where sounds bounces off the ceiling. It would be much harder to sing outdoors with no equipment support unless you literally SCREAM the entire time... And they got the power back up right as the audience did the encore clap. . Then we go to Tsumugi that was the most nervous to give a powerful solo. And we also get more view of the Idomaster-world's AR Hologen tech, LOL. Afterwards the tone literally changes from a powerful-quick solo to a slow-soft-to-high solo. Quite a change of tone. . And they put Team 8 as the last cause it's their Debut. Team 8 got the best debut since they debut on the main stage, where other teams had to debut elsewhere. Tho Team 8's stage is also the most simple, there's barely any special effects. But they ends with the other groups sing-along in the audience. . And the Cross-Gen TOTAL GROUP Photo was nice. |

| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| Not bad but not as good I thought it would be |
| Cute performances! I just happened to post about this not knowing a good example would come up in idolmaster, but see, phantometal rappers in Paradox Live? You can just use holographic technology instead. This was honestly quite nice! The 3D animation was actually really good and I never thought it took away from what was being expressed. I didn't think anything was too stiff. Everything flowed really well. It's of course really nice to see my waifu, Ritsuko make her little cameos too. <3 Nice story themes in this anime, gotta say. Overall, an enjoyable watch! |
| I swear, this anime tries to do way too much. They don't have the time to stir up drama about technical issues with the performance or live cancellations. They literally don't have the time to have drama. If the anime wants to have its performance, I want it to just go all out and dedicate all the time it has available to performing. Also, if people wanted to see these songs animated, they could have just watched the game MVs. I want the anime to show me things I can't see, such as new camera views, perspectives from the audience seats, insights from the characters, stories surrounding the performance, just anything. I'm really not sure what else the anime could have done differently. To try and better focus the anime, instead of trying to balance the whole cast, a possible alternative could be following the main trio only with everyone else as background characters. However, that would only work if there was some expectation of future additional seasons. As of now, it really tried to do a little bit of everything, but without actually doing much of anything, while also trying to celebrate itself for doing so little. For the person who has known this franchise for years, this anime doesn't seem to give as much as it could have. For the person who knows nothing coming in, the anime doesn't seem to provide much to introduce each idol beyond their base gimmicks, if that. I don't think Tomoka had gotten more than 20 lines of dialogue, for instance. Miya barely has any screentime, and I don't think she's even gotten to highlight her cat gimmick. There was no explanation why Sayoko takes her glasses off before performances, nor anything about Elena's ethnicity. I'm sad that Emily never got a chance to weeb out over Tsumugi or Takane. It sucks that Ayumu never got to be in the same room as Makoto, or even say a single word to her. Maybe it's because I wanted the Million Live anime to also be as grandiose as the anime seems to want. There's definitely a lot of ambition and love put into the franchise, but perhaps its announcement and preparations were too unfortunately timed with the beginning of covid. I still remember being there when the anime was first announced during on July 4th, 2020 live stream for Theater Days' 3rd anniversary. I still remember that incredible pop off and how social media exploded for a bit. I still remember how stifled it felt, as unfortunately the world was on lockdown, yet that moment, I saw everyone screaming in unison in joyous celebration. 3 years later, with a lot of memes and doomposting, the anime was finally airing. I don't begrudge its existence, nor do I particularly lament on things I wish it had, but I just wish that it could have been all the things I think it wanted to be. Though, it's also possible that in retrospect, it's moments like the screenshot below that gets the the most sore. The anime knows there's so much more that could be done and shown, but it just can't get to them. It just really, really sucks. Where's the anime version of the Charlotte・Charlotte drama, or EScape? Where's ghost Reika, or time travelling idols? Where's Hanabi-dan or Star Elements? The greatest strength of Million Live, I feel, was their penchant for theater performances that led into songs built on the themes of the story. You'd have seiyuu voice acting characters, who are acting as other characters. We had shades of this during episode 8, and I wish there was more of that in the anime. I certainly had a wishlist of things I wanted, but I'm fine for what the anime is. I just really wish it could have been more than it was.  |
