They're back! This is actually a really nice episode because we got to see bits of everyone, and every scene was quite enjoyable.

We also get another awesome trailer of a violent yakuza-themed movie with all the 765 Pro members. I wish this were real.

Poor Chihaya couldn't even get a good score when she was singing her own song, should have just sung Yakusoku and overloaded the machine with her awesomeness.

So I wasn't the only one who wished the Yakuza movie was real. Surprisingly I have watched that part over and over again, simply because it was amazing.

And the scenes with Iori in it was full of love. Especially the part when she tried to scared Ritsuko off to cure her hiccup, that cute scene made my heart beat a lot. And she seemed so sweet when she even let Yayoi sleep in her own bed.

I wish the Yakuza movie was real (the mecha movie as well) the more iDOLM@STER the better.

This episode was awesome. I would love this more if it was subbed since I have to watch it raw on the bluray version that I bought with the Idolm@ster G4U Vol. 9

This episode was wonderful. Got to watch it in Japan the day my friend received his Vol 9 BD order hehe. The Yakuza movie was wonderful, all the parts with Takane were hilarious.

I kinda wished the karaoke part would be each of them singing each others' songs haha, that would have been kind of awesome :P Poor Chihaya (and poor everyone else lolol)

Beautiful episode, every skit was pretty fun on their own. My favorites were the movie preview and the Jupiter encounter at the sushi restaurant.

Now to wait for the Shiny Festa OVAs, can't get enough of IM@S.

IM@S could make bank if they released those movies they showed (actually made them, or at least a 3 to 4 episode ova). It would be like Xenoglossia but a movie or ova. I would watch all these characters in different settings. In fact, I want them to try this idea.

Awesome awesome ep. So glad to see a new ep of idolmaster. Missed the girls and the show.

Loved the yakuza movie and Hibiki riding the shark rofl.

That Karaoke machine was probably broken or something. How dare it give Chihaya such low scores! At least it fixed itself by the end and gave her a perfect score.

Wow, I have to tip my hat to the creators, they managed to avoid the weaknesses the season exhibited at times and delivered a great episode. This 4koma-like sketches formula worked really well and gave screen time to everyone.

Chihaya not getting maximum scores...that machine must have been broken. Especially since she performed Aoi Tori.

Good gracious that movie...I would seriously watch the hell out of it. Lady of War Chihaya...take all my karaoke points! Haruka murdering people...almost as if referencing to the numerous fanarts when there was the accident with Producer-san, nice.

The callback to Iori staying and Yayoi's place was especially nice.

Takane needed more screen time, but the sushi segment was great. I laughed wholeheartedly when Touma mistook Hamuzou for a hamburger.

5/5 a great episode.

YES! I second that opinion. I still love and miss this show after not seeing them for about a year.
Its just a great and fun show to watch the idols having their daily and exciting lives.

Every segment was truly well done, i found none of it to be boring and the 20+mins past by in a flash.

Wish there was more!! I miss this show so much!! 10/10

There is a "my song (M@STER VERSION)", but not with all the idols together, not even in the new Namassuka Special albums. Project iM@S lists all the previous CD releases of the song.

A wonderful extra episode to end the series for me. Though I still want a 2nd season!

All little scenes were enjoyable and funny and never left me bored. My favorite parts were Yayoi+Iori, Miki as Sleeping Beauty, the hiccup and the sushi restaurant. The movie trailer was also pretty nice :)

God I missed this show. Seeing everyone like Miki, Chihaya, and Takane was worth it.

That music video called Bluebird is pretty cool. Miki was the cutest in this episode even though she was half asleep in the second half. Takane too with her appetite!

Very amusing OVA. 7/10. I can't wait for the movie~

Pretty much a collab of short events containing all the characters which does make up for a nice episode but more of a special than a normal episode I'd say!

I do wonder what the next ova's have to offer though.

Kill Bill anyone??
Too much spoiler for a movie trailer I guess xD

Azusa's married words > Iori's scary expression
Hiccups is a contaminated disease, you know (Yawning too)

Dameee dame yo Kotoriiiiiiiiiii Dameeeeee~

Miki is a real-life sleeping beauty afterall... Pffft *Chihaya's laugh

Takane way to go!!!
Flat the Jupiter!! Especially Amatou xD

My wish just one for this series
I just want to see the Director's face
Pleaseeeeee!!!! I'm so curious T_T

That Yakuza battle was amazing. Chihaya pawned and laid out Mami and Ami brutally. Then Takane went head to head with Chihaya and lost, but Haruka out of nowhere stabs her from behind and runs away lol. It's like she was saying to herself, "I got one chance to kill Chihaya from behind and get the out of there quickly or else" xD

Takane must have a huge belly to be able to Garchomp on all that food. She just puts it in her mouth and then another piece goes in. LOL, not even chewing her food xD
Although I like her food side, I would love to have an eating contest with Takane. Although since she's SuperTakane but still she's an amazing girl who can make chef's go crazy lol.


Chihaya gets low score on her song and after a while she scores a 100 lol.

Once again I am surprised to see my old self on these discussion threads. Iori's horror stories are still my favs even 9 months later and I could never get tired of this episode.

Now then, let's see what I think of this episode 9 months later.

I still think this entire episode was full of laughs. I suspect the Karaoke machine was trolling Chihaya with those low scores xD

The Producer was right! Miki really is the sleeping beauty. Half of the time as an idol she’s sleeping. I totally loved Chihaya’s reaction when that happened ^_^

Since the karaoke machine can't go above 100, it had to wrap around, thus displaying the 'apparent' lower scores for Chihaya. That's what I'm sticking with. :P

All of the skits were really good and I really enjoyed it, the Hibiki, Azusa and Takane scenes were my favorite! But it needed more Makoto... :( and she needs to be in a dress!

The twins trolled me. At first I thought it was supposed to be the cliche "producer died" joke so I wasn't taking it. but as they went with "him going abroad" so I really thought he went with some idol abroad. Nicely done.

I like "rainbow button" quite a lot.

Chihaya sang one of my fav songs from this franchise!
Poor girl. The look on her face when she got 100. Such a pure girl lmao

I like the deadpan AmiMami section.

I have gotten a really soft spot for Yayoi's "uh-uhh~"

That movie looked real good actually. Iori x Makoto, I'm always up for this pairing.
As always Haruka gets the most dark roles lol. Even Miki was T_T over it.

Ritsuko got some cute hiccups.
Azusa's good karma works on everyone. I really like the concept.

They should have put more of Otonashi's delusions in the series, really enjoy them. I love dramatic characters as long as they are self-aware lol. "Dame... dame yo Kotori~~~"
We got some Iori x Yayoi (I love Yayoi! best hair. jk her personality is great.)

Miki still sleeps as much as before lol. I want that skill. Waking up and sleeping with control.

Takane x Touma. Would make an interesting couple. Lmao I ship him with everyone, Touma is very shippable.

Great special. On-par with the main series. 8.5/10

Nice trailer. They have spoiled literally each death and the ending. Can't wait to see this now. ( i know it's not real movie but still, this fucking trailer!).
Azusa looked amazing with the long hair, i will never for the life of me understand, why the fuck she cut her hair.
Yayoi looked cool too when she put her hair down.
I really love Takane and Hibiki, they have so much potential. But the writers never knew what to do with them and ignored them for the whole season. I'm glad we saw some of them in this special.
