| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ahh Azusa with short hair. Looks kind of different in the anime, a little rough...but I think she looks good. Still wish she would have kept the longer hair, though. This episode, with the formation of Ryuuguu Komachi, Producer works harder to market the other idols and get more gigs. Miki shows that she's not completely lazy, too. In the end they all watch as Ryuuguu Komachi gets a spot on TV and performs SMOKY THRILL. I'm glad to see a full dance in the anime, it looked great. The ending song this time was THE iDOLM@STER, with a scrolling picture. Feels kinda weird that they would just use that song as the ED for this episode randomly, I thought they would save it for the final concert, or as an OP or something. Since it's pretty much THE main song of the series. This ep was very good. Next ep looks like it could be about Yayoi. Also, for those interested, the OP theme was released. READY!! (EDIT: It got removed due to copyright or something. Just download it from Nyaa) |

| Anyone have a link to the RAW? I really want to see it now... |
 |
| Miki shined a bit this episode. Smoky Thrill was very good and Iori's speech after the performance was lolz. I have a message for Yukiho, take a side job in construction. Azusa looks classy in short hair. |

| Wow the new unit was awesome. I even like the uniform a bit more then the normal outfit. lol at the end because they covered the face xD |
 |
| Wow I loved this episode a lot! The performance of Ryuugu Komachi on TV and serious Miki were really great :D I hope everyone will get more jobs soon >w< |

Tsumi-tan said: serious Miki were really great :D I hope everyone will get more jobs soon >w< Miki is basically your usual "Lazy Genius" and looks like we're forbidden to see Chief Takagi's face. lol I really want to see another concert episode like that. As a "fellow producer" I'm honestly touched. |

| I wish different girls were in the group lol. Iori and Azusa are not my favorites. Miki was great this episode, I would have liked to have actually SEEN the dance though. |
| Azusa's outfit was definitely the best. Anyone notice how the twin was totally neglected... well along with Miki that is. |

| Rewatched with subs. Haruka realizing that her name has "sea" in it, and she wasn't picked was kind of funny. Ritsuko telling Miki to not get in the way, kind of mean. And Kotori strikes again with her manga vision, hilarious. I knew that Miki was going to get a little jealous that she wasn't picked for Ryuuguu Komachi. That's what you get for sleeping all day, I guess. Nobody is going to want to pick you for a unit if they think you're just going to slack off and be lazy. Seeing Producer going into overdrive mode was nice. Lol Takan'e photo shoot. Yayoi is so cute, scared of heights hnnngh. Miki shows a bit of her skill too, that she can do anything if she actually tries. Now that she's proved herself to Producer that she really can be serious about being an idol, she'll probably get a lot more work. There was another arrange of "Go My Way" when Haruka gave Producer the doughnuts. They're just gonna keep teasing us with that song, aren't they. And once again, the animation for the Smoky Thrill dance was just great. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15286671 Here is a video comparing the anime to the game dance. And they managed to animate it without it looking jerky, and keeping their faces looking normal, on top of their complicated outfits. (Btw, you need an account to watch nicovideo. I know there's a site that lets you watch them embedded without an account, but I can't find it right now) Full image of the ED I like how they even have Kotori's image color in there. (Light yellow) Also again, this episode can't really be called anyone's episode, as it focused on almost everyone. But I guess it could be the "Ryuuguu Komachi" episode, with a lot of Miki. |
| Smoky Thrill Youtube also has many Imas videos ripped from Nico2 |

| That Song was well done, I agree. If they start giving us more treats like that the series will be at least enjoyable. |

Mami and the rest will get their turn. Ritsuko trusts that "Producer-San" cna produce the rest of the girls. This episode shows that he was rash and almost cost their reputation. But he then realize that things just to have to start out slow and steady if he wanted to manage 9 other Idols. |

YEX said: That "Smoky Thrill" is pretty good !! Azusa looks more mature and classy with short hair, it suits her big sister personality. |
|
| If I had to guess, I would say that the girl that was focused on this episode is Miki. |
 |
| Nice to see a dance at the end, although I would have liked to see Miki and Matoko's dance. |
| I indeed love Azusa new short haircut, really fit her well. Makoto only teach Miki once and she memories all of it that kind of amazing, hehe in the game she is one of my favorite character. Too bad we didn't see her dancing thought. The anime probably would be better if each episode got 40 minutes. I only see a very few anime that got it. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Sucks they didn't show Miki's and Matoko's dance but other than that, this was a nice episode. High production values really show in this anime. |
 |
| I love the episode! Even thought I am displease Azusa cut her hair, its suits her well. Producer-san is firing up! He won't let himself lose to ritsuko and helps the girls find jobs helps me motivated to work hard. I feel the same ways as Producer-san, It'll be bad if the girls don't have jobs thought they seem not to take or worry about it. Thought Producer-san is becoming too rash had almost done a big damage to the company. Ritsuko telling Miki to not get in the way is rather mean of her. Miki is amazing! She memorize the whole dance by just watching it once! She's rather jealous that she wasn't picked in Ryuuguu Komachi. Too bad we didn't see her and Makoto dance. She's starting to be my favorite girl now. But my most favorite part is seeing SMOKY THRILL. It was the best dance that have the best animation that I've ever seen in an Idol anime. No other idol animes can compare to the smooth and fluid animation to Idolmaster. Would love to see Ritsuko perform as well someday and see all the girls perform on stage like in the OP. Producer-san would like to see her be an Idol. I'm disappointed that the Producer-san still have a proper name yet since he was finally turn into a character for the anime. |

prismheart said: This should've been expected. Miki lacked motivation and Mami, in games' canon, was less known than Ami. If anything, this is a big chance for Mami to make a mark and a source of motivation for the ussually lazy Miki.HawthorneKitty said: Anyone notice how the twin was totally neglected... well along with Miki that is.

| Besides Ryuugu Komachi, will there be any other units be formed? Anyone wants to spoil about the other units? |
Magito said: I'm disappointed that the Producer-san still have a proper name yet since he was finally turn into a character for the anime. He's supposed to be a representative for all the Idolmaster players, so giving him a name would pretty much be unfair, and you know how Japanese Otaku reacts to these small stuffs.. lol Magito said: Besides Ryuugu Komachi, will there be any other units be formed? Anyone wants to spoil about the other units? The other is confirmed not to exist in the anime, Project Fairy, it consist of Miki, Hibiki and Takane, made by rival company 961 Pro. (Miki rage'd quit 765 Pro) besides that there are no other units made in the main story of Idolmaster 2.] |

This episode had 2 things going on wild. For one Smoky Thrills was amazing and the following, Is my favorite pose, which also happens to be the ending one. However don’t let you mistake that the rest were also very excellent in the spoiler The other one is Miki’s pose in the following,  And her other poses in the spoiler BTW, first stitch together in the spoiler |
ArcanaTrace said: Oh and btw could u tell me the story of Miki in the game or give me some sources where i can read her story? Cause i want to know more about her You can read more about her character here, and about her storyline in the 2nd game here. Also thought I should mention for those interested in downloading the music to this series, a MP3 version of the idolm@ster music collection has been uploaded on BakaBT. At around 23GB compared to the 55GB of the FLAC version. The MP3 version is significantly less if you cut out the drama/radio/talk CDs too. I just delete them after listening to them once, and my im@s music folder with everything is like 11GB or so. With every album in one place in one torrent, there's no better time to download it than now. I only wish that this torrent had been around when I got into idolm@ster, because I had to do a ton of searching for all my albums. lol |
| Loved the new group, loved the music, loved everything about this episode. I wish more people would give the show a chance, I think it started a little crazy and maybe slow, but it's getting a lot better especially with this week's performance. Producer-san drove me a little crazy this episode though, he needs more confidence. XD (The iDOLM@STER 06 blog post) |
| Honestly, this show has been doing really good for what it is. And I hope the show is not going down hill. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Hehe, the producer tried so hard to get jobs and be productive that he enden up booking double and being not productive at all. Miki wants to be more productive as well because she got all fired up by seeing the others doing their best. The song was pretty good too! Hoppy said: Yup, I agree.Azusa looks more mature and classy with short hair, it suits her big sister personality. |

| Ryuuguu Komachi moved on into the great world of Idols. I can't wait to see more of the girls develop and get their own songs and big jobs in the future. I REALLY HOPE THAT THIS ANIME WILL GET OVER 13 EPISODES!!!! I have a feeling it will, but at the same time I have a small feeling it wont. I hope it does. DX Oh I like Azusa better with long hair as well >> -Does not like girls with short hair- |

 |
| It's still written 12 episodes on ANN. Well, there info aren't always reliable anyway. Hoping later in the game the Producer would make a new unit for the other girls to shine and be successful. I love how determine the producer is to make the girls be successful but he's being rash and ended up getting trouble later on. Hopefully he learned his lesson. Don't lose Producer-san! And hopefully a rival company would challenge team RK to make things interesting. Also, more dance and songs to come. Now I know why Miura is suspended works for Berserk. |
Leon-Gun said: Miki rejoins 765 in Idolm@ster 2, and Hibiki and Takane tag along. But the only 1 of them who was originally on 765 was Miki. FYI trivia, Hibiki and Takane are cut from the original Arcade versions. Miki was supposed to be a combined version of Hibiki and Takane in the First Xbox game. Their official debut was in the SP version Magito said: And hopefully a rival company would challenge team RK to make things interesting. This happened in the original Idolmaster 2 game. With the Boy's only idol unit Jupiter. zetsuboSensei said: Say, why Ami? Why not together with Mami? What's their difference so that Ryuugusomething become balance? The notable difference is Mami is more mature than Ami, so it's trying to balance Azusa's mature image with Ami's childish-ness. This is just another speculation, since the original itself never explained it clearly. |

kaimax said: It may also be related to the fact Ami and Mami both performed under the name "Futami Ami" before. But yeah, no official reason, and even my own suggestion is completely pointless in the anime. Basically, the game said so.zetsuboSensei said: Say, why Ami? Why not together with Mami?

| Iori is a tsundere. That's why she's in Ryuuguu Komachi. Also, maybe they used THE iDOLM@STER as ending because the real thing is going to start? With Ryuuguu Komachi and Producer-san idols competing or something... |

| Dearly Stars is impossible because of the timeline. In DS most of the idols from 765 Pro are already famous Idols. |

| Wow. This makes me want to play the game so badly. I'm in love with this show. Miki took my favorite idol spot |
| The animation works (especially on the dance scene), reminds me of Kannagi. |
| Still, Wow! I'm very impress with Miki. At the beginning she was lazying around, and sleeping the whole day, and then she turn serious the next. Miki must be genius, as she can remember the dance moves once. The seriousness she's shown made me feel that we'll see Awakened Miki later in the series. |
| Azusa confirmed for best girl |
 |
| Miki's got incredible memory. What a pity, they didn't show Makoto and Miki's dance. |
