a Thank You! acoustic version! sounds great to me, and CG still good in performances

looks like we'll be getting the real storyline that's been foreshadowed so far with Shizuka soon? and we'll also see the girls on-stage next ep too. looking forward to it :)

KAORI HAS ARRIVED

loved it as always!!! great physical comedy this episode. mirai caterpillar was gold.

love all of them getting to show off their specialties. the oneesans being good oneesans and applying bandages and stuff was so so cute. julia providing instrumentation for a stripped-down acoustic version of Thank You! wahhh my heart. Miya and Reika just being silly billies is always delightful they are so whimsical. Miya had her crowd of peepaw fans it made me so happy.

I hope they let Hinata say a line that doesn't contain the word 'apple' in future episodes. Star Impression next ep? oh boy oh boy

produce Matsuri the idol ever ~

Ok, that's it, I dislike Akane, she is really cringe and annoying interrupted what was a great song, their very 1st time performing as real idols.

The 2 new girls seem really nice, I thought they were going to be the typical "uuuh wtf is this lame and cringe shit" so I'm really glad it was all the contrary.


HARUKA-SAN MY BELOVED, I LOVE HER SO MUCH OMG AAAAAAH ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~

Best episode so far for me.
And I'm glad they stopped with the name tags all the time.

EP 5

Apparently the op was already released before the first ep even aired
The lyrics are uhm. hmm. anyway



Not sure if every ep is going to do the thing where they skip the ed. Actually now that I rewatch, every ep has not had an ed so far.

Glad their concert was successful. I want all of the idols actually perform at the open field.

Oh no. Her dad showed up. What will he say?

This like idol festival is kinda cute! It's small, open to the family and seems like a great way for the idols to connect with the locals while putting their names out there! It's actually a pretty good idea. Also, what a cute, calming version of Thank You!!

I can't believe Akane got the first nanto of the anime.

Anyways, it's interesting to see Kaori and Tsumugi introduced halfway into the show. It sort of reflects how they were only introduced in Theater Days, where as the original Million Live mobile game didn't have them yet. So far I'm enjoying these subtle nods to the franchise's history, as well as other little things like the idols' signatures on the tent being their actual signatures or their sleeping bags being color coded based on their character types in-game. I also liked how that caterpillar joke ended up being the basis for the butterfly logo design.

Regarding the show's length, I'm guessing the show will continue focusing primarily on the main trio with the other idols existing in the background. If so, then I assume these 12 episodes will be a general introduction to the franchise with the main trio as the guides. I'm not confident in any additional seasons being created, and I'd think that it would be overwhelming to try and give individual focus to each and every character. I'll support whatever decision the anime makes though, as I'm just along for the ride.
