The second episode was okay. Kinda got what I had expected for an idol show with the performance.

I have no doubt that the guys will be looking forward to improving themselves on stage.

the first two episodes were all i could have hoped for. this is only the beginning of i7, and my biggest hope is that nobody passes it up just because it's a male-idol series. (anyone else start crying at the instrumental version of mongen at the credits?)

For the first few episodes I can really say I enjoyed them so far. As someone who is kind of picky with the male idol stuff (note I don't hate them) this is probably the strongest or one of them I've seen in a while.

I like the characters, I like the artstyle (based TROYCA) and I'm not gonna lie while the CGI isn't really that good it's not bad either. I honestly okay with that. But it really felt like I was enjoying myself a lot with these two episodes honestly, no complaints otherwise other than the CGI bit and I guess they need to give more background to the characters? Imo at least.

I think that really confirms a reason why the series got the amount of episodes it has gotten (17 episodes) so I'm looking forward to that honestly.

The 2nd episode is my favourite so far! Many good highlights such as the first live and TRIGGER's first appearance. The photoshoot scene were especially nice were we get to know more about the characters' traits and they were all portrayed nicely. Tsumugi is also a precious girl, she's really hardworking, and never blame the others for her mistakes...

Using CGI for the live performance is to be expected, but if they keep it up like this episode like sticking to 2D for close-up shots, I won't mind it lol.

Overall, it's nice seeing the first two episodes going smoothly.

I also agree with Wasshio, I'm picky with idols anime, and especially male ones but I can definitely see i7 being one of the strongest ones, despite being only two episodes atm. :')


Edit: Oh yeah, is it alright to even include i7 as a part of the Fall 2017 lineup? The first two episodes are only premiered two months early for now, with the rest are still being scheduled for Winter/January. (Like how Granblue released the first two episodes before the airing date)

Episode 1 & 2 kinda okay I guess, not a fan to male idol anime that have a girl in there, but they always get more ep than 12 ( I hope for "all male idol" can get more ep too ) so I will stick around with this

I love the animation (sasuga TROYCA). And the BGM was good, I wonder who handle it.

Man when they performed Monster Generation, I felt a bit sentimental lol. Was only less than 2 years ago when I stopped playing but I did listen to those songs a heck ton. The group is great in that they're not naive at all and realize that the idol world is harsh. Being successful right off the bat, even before their debut, is difficult. I agree with the manager too, she's not annoying or frustrating. She works hard, has a strong personality, and is able to accept reality.

I can't stand Nagi though...just...no. It's so unnecessary to have that stereotypical foreigner's accent. I've never heard anyone learning Japanese sound like that. And no it's not funny. Although that's not really Nagi the character's fault, it's just a criticism on the "foreign accent" that you hear every once in awhile in anime. I'm not fond of Nagi's personality either though :P

TRIGGER though. I liked their interaction in the car, haha. Not a fan of their songs, but I do like their group dynamic.

Anyways, it'll be nice to see their growth.

I've been waiting the for ID7 anime for SO LONG! (Literally since the day the game was released lol) I was so happy when I found out that the anime is going to follow the game's story, since the story has a lot of dynamics. Really like the art as it makes them so adorable!

Favourite part as of now has to be TRIGGER's interaction in the car. Probably because best boy (Tenn) is in the scene? Can't wait for the interaction between Tenn and Riku (1st and 2nd fav character).

Hyped for the story, character developments and most importantly the backstory to kick in~!

Compared to most male idol anime, this one really stands out! The personalities of all the characters are strong and likeable so far (including the manager, which I love), and the music was catchy. Might look into playing the game....

It sucks it was low turnout, but that's to be expected for beginners. I would love to see them grow and gain fans. I like how it's from a Manager's perspective (kind of).

I like how the group helped Tsumugi to distribute those fliers! It was expected that there were not many people at his first concert but it was not bad at all for the first time.

It was much better this episode since there is character introduction.
All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath.

The first two episodes were AMAZING.
And I hope it stays that way.
And also even though there was only 9 people. I’m just happy they gave it their best.
And that is all that matters.

This episode was heartfelt. I knew the concept was going to turn out small, nut only nine people? I liked the fact that they all tried their best regardless of who came and who didn’t. It made me feel proud of them. This is just the start of their journey, and I’m excited to see where they end up.

Right now Suogo and Riku are my favorites, purely based on appearance and personality shown so far. I really do hope to get a backstory on everyone and I’m pumped to see them fight for their future.

Tsumugi did a very good job. She can be proud of herself.

I liked their first performance.
