It's finally out after waiting like 4 months since U149 finished and we found out Yukimi and Kozue would appear in this OVA π Yukimi episode spoiler ahead: I love how we start off with Yukimi in her usual habitat along with Pero too ahahahhaah god I'm so happy for this Oh wait, it was for a film shoot π From how the characters interact, it seems this episode takes place where Yukimi and Kozue have been in the production team for a fair bit of time already considering how familiar they seem with each other Seems like the mansion they're having a shoot in is haunted and Producer is ofc scared as he would be ahahah And turns out Yukimi is not that good with scary things too but when it comes to scary things...Koume comes to mind as the no.1 horror girl of the franchise ahahahah no wonder why she and Ryo appear! Producer taking Yukimi to a different part of the place, ngl the design of the place is really nice it may be spooky but it's really pretty! But Producer actually reinforces the fact he hates scary things which is cute ngl ahahah Oh now we get to see some of the other girls in the filming and Koume and Ryo are here too as shown in the preview!!! I'm so happy for Ryo, she's one of the 7 more unpopular voiced girls of the franchise who hasn't received a lot of stuff for so I'm really happy they included her too in this OVA π And Koume is really sporting out her most recent SSR from last year with the "Haunted Bride" SSR, cut hair but still pretty and real nice seeing it here :> Ryo isn't wearing an SSR but it is the suit she wore in the "Undead Dance Rock" event which is a great tie-in to all this A zombie appears in the film but ofc, Koume's the only one smiling bhahhahahha Oh Pero meow'd, I think this is the first time Pero ever said anything vocally who is his VA like how Hyou-kun had Chieri as a stand-in turned permanent VA for him πππππ There is a bit of shooting at a certain part Yukimi and Producer went to and after that section was done, Producer gets called over and he happens to see what he thinks is a ghost, to which you hear his shrill scream in the back π But the next scene is up which Ryo mentions and notices Yukimi a bit frantic which was really cute to see, she's a really quiet girl hehehehh Bruh Producer's ded π Now Yukimi is going to get help from the others bless her but now they've returned it's turned into the scene of a crime π Arisu is putting on her detective hat bless her ahahhah and Yukimi loves it too :) With the interaction the girls have, it's really nice to see them get much closer x) Bruh, Producer all made up in zombie ear that took me by surprise ngl π But it was really nice to see them get a lot closer and Pero gets a bit more screentime too, now continuing with the rest of the filming too and so ends Yukimi's portion of this OVA! Pretty simple but really cute and captured Yukimi's personality well also letting us know what sorta girl she's like too We didn't get to see who played as Pero but we do get to hear Yukimi's solo song! Tho the background images from the filming is pretty harrowing jeebus π AND CHIKA AND MAI APPEAR IN THE ENDING SEQUENCE TOO AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Kozue episode spoiler ahead: I know Chika and Mai appear in Kozue's portion but I wonder if they'll get surprise voiced......probably not I shouldn't get my hopes up knowing the staff :') We start off interestingly, something going on with.....a spaceship!??!?!?? Kozue coming out I feel like this is some set-.......wait it was Kozue's dream, that's intriguing ahahahhah Kozue making her way down, finds a weairly shaped seed on the road and oh my goodness she's as dozy as always the scenes just go from one to the other quick which in itself captures her character well With the seed tho, she shares it and they decide to plant it and see, it's an interesting seed tho looking like a heart with vines on The others seem pretty intrigued with it too periodically but we do get insight from the others in how to get the seed to grow but we get a nice montage of happenings on the roof where the seed was planted, even yukimi makes another appearance again ahahah The expressions from them are cute and we get to see them cheering the plant on as well with Chika and Mai too who don't speak at all ahhhhhHHHHHHH But it seems the plant is still not growing so the next step is to try putting it in the sun, to which Kozue Risa Miria end up falling asleep ahaha- wait.....was the spaceship incident not part of her dream????? Now apperently on the news there's a plant that's like overgrowing and more or less destroying the whole place with thick branches but it's not that same plant they planted was it...? I feel like this episode went into a more suspense direction all of a sudden π But it seems the overgrown plants actually were real??????? And now it took over the office too π The girls are worried about Producer but Kozue says he's doing fine to calm them down but noticing the plants grow more the girls panic and errrr someone takes Kozue away......that alien version of herself in her dream from earlier ago what on Earth is going on????????????????????????? ππππππππ The set design of the alien's room is pretty nice and retro ngl, but apparently Kozue is a Princess from another planet??? Apparently they wanna invade Earth because alien stuff and in a suspensful moment with the alien asking if she wants to invade Earth, Kozue straight up just no π Alien's like but why and Kozue's like because I'm an idol plays "Watashi wa Idol" in the back but we get a nice moment where Kozue mentions how happy and fulfilled she is doing idol stuff which was a fine answer :> Oh seems like Kozue's back to a section before and that seed she had is gone, tho now all the girls are there waiting for her heheheh It was a nice message to end the OVA on even if it was split into two sections and we get Kozue's song too and turns out the saucy woman at the start of this bit was played by Haruka Chisuga, which means Ryo too in a way ahahahhaha This episode was also pretty good especially in capturing Kozue's insanely dozy and drifty personality that the episode really felt like we were in her mind as well it was pretty amusing and unexpecting at times ahahahhah God I am so sad Chika and Mai didn't get a voice buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut if they make a season 2......it could happen, it better happen!!!!!!!!! π I think from these OVAs we got exactly what we were anticipating from the preview, 2 back-to-back mini episodes centering around Yukimi and Kozue showcasing their character as well as showcasing a longer version of their new solo songs as previewed in the PV too from before No announcements made on this OVA (as far as I'm aware) but was really nice seeing them all again after these 4 months since U149 main anime finished I just hope we can get some good news in the future regarding a new season or even After20 or Wild Wind Girl anime adaptation!!!!! Here's hoping! (Will update this message if they do release the ED songs on the official iM@S YouTube channel) |

OVA It already feels like it was so long ago since I saw the OP Its kind of strange, its because the anime is good, that while i want to rewatch it i kinda already remember more or less everything also is this a coincidence or otherwise maybe its just me, but this episode is really less bright than the others not exactly what i was expecting to be honest im not sure, but i think our girls were already quite special/normal. yukimi and kozue both seem kinda interesting/different though, well mostly yusa well things have definitely gotten out of hand now Its kind of strange because the girls only had half a ep each, while it was OK uhh. It seems like the other two aren't going to get an ep because they arent voiced yet, thats kinda sadge. One thing i always wonder is how the voice actors/idols sound like outside of u149 |

I didn’t even know this OVA existed until the other day, so I figured while seasonals are still waiting to come out I should check it out since I really enjoyed the main anime, and while it wasn’t anything crazy it was pretty cute and featured some new idols that we didn’t have in the main show, although it did feel odd that they were just part of the group with no introduction lol. The first half featuring Yukimi was pretty good, I liked the haunted mansion theming and it seemed like they were going for a Resident Evil style shoot with the zombies, and seeing the girls as zombies in this half’s ED reminded me of Zombieland Saga lol. We didn’t really get a whole lot on Yukimi tho, pretty much just a showing of her personality and how she interacts with the others girls, which is fine but I expected a little more. Her ED was good tho, I’m glad these two girls featured in this OVA got their own songs so at least there was something idol-related in it. And the 2nd half with Kozue was kinda wild actually with the whole alien thing, although I wonder if that was all just a dream she had since at the end it showed the seed she planted as a regular plant, that was an interesting fever dream I’ll say tho lol. And of course Kozue is very cute, she doesn’t seem completely there but that could be because she’s secretly stoned at all times, she did mention “Let It Grow” which is a Grateful Dead song after all lol, I’m choosing this as my headcanon. And her song was nice as well, I liked the visuals for the ED with all the girls on a giant beanstalk. And now I hope for another season of U149, I think these new girls could shake things up, including the ones in the backgrounds with no lines in this episode, but perhaps in the future I’ll check out other Idolmaster entries as I still haven’t as of rn lol. |
