| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Episode deals with the photoshoots. Iori is more of a mess than in the games and her plan with Yayoi and the Futami sisters to become more beautiful for the shoot is hilarious, but seeing all 4 appear in far too much makeup and oversized breasts made of balls was gut busting, the look on the producer's face was amusing. The episode and the shoot ended well with all the Idols looking pretty good. Hibiki's was pretty nice and what made it good is the hamster, she actually takes the advice of her hamster and it shows. I loled at the woman in the camera crew fainting at Makoto's prince-like allure, she must be a yuri fangirl. Oh and Haruka's pose after she fell was nice and the cameraman couldn't resist taking a shot. Iori is so cute in the ED flashbacks Moral of the episode: You look beautiful the way you are,. 5/5 |
 |
| natural pretty . Kugimiya a tsundere character again = =" |
| Episode 2 is finally here. :D Ami and Mami in monkey suits is surprisingly cute. Ahhh Ritsuko brought in the main outfits from the 2nd game. :0 Those are my favorite. The OP..."I'M LADY. I'M A LADY". They even have Ritsuko in it, we get a little taste of her being an idol. And holy crap, that concert part looked amazing. The animation for this show is something else. The single for the OP theme should be released August 10 iirc. Cameo of Touma from Jupiter. Looks like they will be in the anime afterall. Hoping they also put the Dearly Stars characters in the anime. Insert song is Watashi wa Idol. LOLOLOL their outfits for the photoshoot were hilarious. ED theme this time around is Positive!, one of Ami/Mami's image songs. Looks like they really will be changing the ED every episode, it's certainly possible since they have so many songs to pick from and won't have to spend money to record since they've been recorded already long ago. This one was more of a slide show and didn't have much animation, but it's to be expected they can't go all out like with the 1st one, for EVERY ED. Yayoi narrating the preview :D Also, if this is what they're going to do with the Producer for the anime, it's not that bad. Although I still would have preferred a giant P-head, this will have to do. He did feel like a fly on the wall at most times. Great episode, they really now have time to focus on a small group of characters at a time, since they got the introductions out of the way. Will rewatch when subs come out. |

| Seeing that I'm not much of an Iori fan, I actually did manage to enjoy this episode. Can't wait for the next! |
| Can't wait for the next episode. I wonder if they're going for some kind of summer camping.. |
 |
| Hmmhmmhmm? Don't know what to think about the series just yet, the producer guy seems rather a weak character he doesn't do anything... But the girls are cute and the seiyuus are <3 so yeah, I guess I have to watch it. |

Yanoflies said: Hmmhmmhmm? Don't know what to think about the series just yet, the producer guy seems rather a weak character he doesn't do anything... Because idolmasters is about the idols not about the producer. The producer is mostly going to be passive and will hear out the idols problems and try to solve it "passively". Actually the producer in the game floats between passive and aggressive, but mostly passive. one example he's aggressive (Game spoiler, may not be related to the anime) Back On topic -Touma actually appearing might foreshadow that there will be a story plot about the rivalry between 765 PRO and 961 PRO. and GOSH MIKI YOU'RE SO PRETTY |

| So, I just watched the episode, and, OMG, Toumaaaa~!!! :DD Eeeee, my wish is coming true~!! ^^ Can't wait to see the rest of Jupiter, especially Shouta~!!! <3 And the episode was cute, I laughed when Iori and the other three did that crazy make-up and oversized boobs~ XD |
 You have been blessed by sparkly bishie Cherry Blossom <3 You're welcome ^^ |
| I lol at the makeup scenes. But i HNNNG at Hibiki when she was talking to Hamzo during the photoshoot. And Takane gets more beautiful as the scenes go. |
| This is just as good as I expected. Also, TOUMA!!! I hope we'll also get the 876 idols... |

She looked very beautiful in that sweaterdress, her third person talk kinda helps, it just seems to work well with Miki. |
|
| Wow, I really didn't think this show would be so good. It's got humor and cute overload that I need to lie down for a little bit to recover. The twins are hilarious and so cute :) |
| I just don't like Iori/Rie |
 |
| Ah photo shoot this sure takes me back a year ago !! |
 |
| This episode wasn't as bad as the first one, but was still boring. Dropped. |
| Hm. Not bad, I hope they keep having different focuses on the characters each episode, I like that system better than the crazy mess last episode. It was a nice introduction though. I'm glad it hasn't lost it's humor either. I have more thoughts/screencaps in my blog post, check it out if you feel like it. (= |
| it was okay i guess , enjoying this series so far but nothing too special |

| really good episode!! I really like all the girls, but Yayoi just sticks out for me, LOL at the 4 girls which had a bit too much make up!!! :p i think the ending changes for each character, which seems really good! :D |
| I feel like those twins are going to hit something big. |
 |
| I'm actually not a Rie-Fan, but I somehow like Iori. I really loved her Ending. Loled at the woman from the camera crew : D |
| Way to go, they should have done this with first episode. Everything was good in this episode EXCEPTED one little loud kid. By the time Iori started open her mouth and the sound started coming out I have already known her entire line that she was a bout to say it. Really, I mean really, I am amazed at how Rie Kugimiya never getting tired of reading the same lines over and over and over and over again without getting bore of it. I am praising you, Rie, I am praising you. You hear that! |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Rewatched it with subs, this episode is very sweet. It kind of makes me feel a little sad for Iori, she was probably really lonely as a kid. This episode shows that there's more to Iori than the typical tsundere. But I did lol how she just yells at Producer. Watching it in 720p rather than a bad stream is also much better, the animation for this is sooo good. And wow, Chihaya really dresses like a boy. The outfit she wore for the photoshoot was terrible... Nobody likes her. |
Ousto said: And wow, Chihaya really dresses like a boy. The outfit she wore for the photoshoot was terrible... Nobody likes her. Don't be so harsh on poor Chihaya...she really only has singing in her life ;_; In other news, I liked this episode. I'm really liking all the girls. None of them come across as annoying to me, not even Iori. |
| I'm liking this a lot. I guess every episode will center more on one of the characters and will be accompanied by a new ending sung by that character? The focus in this episode was Iori, she's my least favorite girl so I'm glad that's out of the way. But still, this episode was plenty of fun. |

| I think I know RieKugi's new typecast, "the forehead bitch". |

| i enjoyed it i like how the photoshoot showed everyone's personality,but Rie your killing me here (aria) was enough for me right now. |
 |

None of them come across as annoying to me, not even Iori. No doubt about it. They're out to get on their way to stardom, but solidly maintain their sisterhood. Let's hope they stay that way in character. :) |
| I play, the haters lose. |
| Episode was so enjoyable to watch. 10/10 |
| It was an entertaining second episode; quite good, in fact. The photoshoot was a simple but nice way to give us an overview about the personalities and charms of the girls. I am glad we got Iori’s part done and over with first; I don’t like her a bit. |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| Rie Kugi is getting on my nerves so much. I didn't mind it at first, but so many shows have had her in a lead role recently, so I just can't take it anymore. It just may deter my enjoyment for Shana III next season. Subtract Iori, this is one of my favorite shows this season |
Ousto said: And wow, Chihaya really dresses like a boy. The outfit she wore for the photoshoot was terrible... Nobody likes her. Chihaya need to get some prince lessons, she needs to act like one to get the yuri fans abuzzing. |
|
| While I can definitely see why some might consider Producer-san to be bland or generic, I think he serves as a good anchor/counterbalance to the girls' shenanigans. Also, it seems like there's an awful lot of spoken onomatopoeia in this show. I want the camera guy's hat. |
| Ha-cha! |
| Another very enjoyable episode for me. I just love the OP, too. I guess I'm part of the minority here, but my KugiRie tolerance is pretty high, so I've been okay with her (last time I didn't like her in a role was Rose). Typical tsundere shenanigans totally alright. It's always fun to see Miki pretty much own everyone, she's awesome anyway. Hibiki too. Odd how Chihaya was unable to smile correctly, since she's smiling in the opening animation and she smiled along with everyone when the Producer was introduced. Guess she forgot how it feels. Looking foward to next week, gotta love im@s. |
 |
| This anime is so fun to watch! I love their clothes for their photoshoot! |
I am totally liking Iori. Most likely because of Rie. I find the following, to be the best Iori. I find the second best of Iori to be in the spoiler The second best for are the twins as follows,  That ”Boom-Chika-Boom” is such a classic. Found myself going along with it. Loved the Ami/Mami in their new outfits during the photo shoot out and when they were talking to Yayoi in the spoiler
BTW anyone know what that symbol means at the end of the OP in the spoiler |
| Liked this episode much better than episode 1. But still, what's with not seeing the President's face? Anywho...loving the twins and the tomboy. lol @ the camerawoman's reaction. Shaping up to be another good summer anime. 5/5 7/10 |

endlessabyss said: I dislike whiny voices and the twins' and Iori's are annoying and irritating especially Iori's. Why does it have to be Rie as the voice actress for this character?! ~__~ Well, she was Iori in the game. Actually, they're all reprising their roles from the game. |
|
| Iori has always been my favourite character and since this episode, I hear voices in my head repeating "Iorin ! Iorin ! Iorin ! Iorin ! Iorin ! Iorin ! ..." I like the ending too. Smart lolis are smart. I loved this episode, although I ask myself why is this stupid male charactere present. |

But still, what's with not seeing the President's face? He just appears as a silhouette in the game, so he really has no face. That's why his face is always hidden, it's like a shout out to the game. Producer has no face either, but they decided to make a design for him instead, since it would have been hard to hide his face all the time. Also, to all the Rie haters, if it helps, she was voicing Iori long before all these other tsundere roles. The arcade game was released in 2005. I do agree that Rie's voice can get annoying sometimes though, especially if you hear a lot of it. But I really like her as Iori. |
Ousto said: Oh, that's it? Is there a purpose for the logo as a promotional thing or it's just to show off production 765's logo?Yumekichi11 said: BTW anyone know what that symbol means at the end of the OP in the spoiler It's one of the logos for im@s. Another question: Why the hate on Jupiter? I mean what did they do. Anyone that played the game, I would like to know about Jupiter more. |

The first reason people hate Jupiter is because they are guys, and the fans don't want that in idolm@ster. In the game they are your rival, and are jerks, so they are kind of made to be hated, to motivate you to beat them. |
Ousto said: I see but the girls do so does this mean as of this episode they may be drama with tears from some girls due to Jupiter teasing them and humiliating them in future episodes like it happens to some Idols IRL.

It's likely Yukiho will cry, since Jupiter makes her cry in the game. A lot of girl fans like Jupiter, but Jupiter hasn't really received much attention. Only 2 songs, no CD releases. I guess since they're not very popular. |
Ousto said: Oh boy not too crazy about her but I am sure her fans will rage once they see that in the anime.

| Damn, pretty good episode... I nearly dropped this show after first episode..... Good thing I gave it a second try.... :D |
