Idol shows seems like the way forward in the Reiwa era. I have got 5 idol shows in just 3 years.

Well, if you don't need idol content like air, it can get very repetitive and repetitive. Like watching isekai for those who aren't into fantasy. Personally, I think that even if shows like this have this idea, I still want them to remain unique and interesting more than just give me new waifu and a couple of music CDs.

Franchises like Love Live, Idolmaster or Bandori are highly commercialized at their very core, but they are unique and if you enjoy that, you will always enjoy the content as a standalone work of its own.


more than just give me new waifu and a couple of music CDs.
yeah! That are their main targets. What they really want are the fanbases in their 'real-life events', not anime fanbases. Anime is just a promotion and marketing tool for them.


Well, I try to stay away from anime, which is just the purest marketing tool without any attempt to tell an interesting story or experience. The franchises I mentioned have managed this, but for reasons already discussed, I would never have known about them if they didn't already have a good reputation even outside of the waifus crowd.

Again, I don't mind idol shows in general. It's just that lately it has increasingly begun to resemble a local version of isekai franchises, when the authors give up even trying to add a unique feature in favor of copying popular hits.


As I said in my post, this kind of anime is kind of an experiment for the producer. All of them are related to real-life events. They created this kind of idol anime for marketing their new real-life idol group. So, most of them are basically similar to each other because what they really want from this kind of anime is for promoting their new group and gaining a new fan base for their real-life events. Their goal is more related to a real-life idol group.

There are so many of these multimedia projects that sometimes I just find it hard to believe that they are all financially successful.


Most aren't especially if they have a variety show attached to them (which is the bad touch of failure), heck even Lapis Re:Lights, which has one of the most functional magic systems in anime didn't sell well.

Oshi no Ko is something that should be a Netflix Original, as that type of commentary is more popular in the west, as long as there's no 3DCG, it should be fine.


Did it sell poorly even though it was much more pronounced yuri baiting than other franchises of its kind? Yes, it's still not Yuru Yuri, but I thought this franchise was literally glossy with fanservice.

Idol is really a big thing in Japan both nationwide and local idols.
This kind of project is like an experiment for the agencies. Create a new idol group/unit, and audition a new seiyuu who want to be an idol. Most of them are newbies or the one who doesn't have much work yet. Basically, it's like creating a new idol group in real life by using anime as one of its marketing platforms.
If the project is successful they will continue their group, releasing more new songs, especially in real-life events. But, if it doesn't, the project could be discontinued. So what will the seiyuu gain if those projects were discontinued? They will get a legit idol job and a voice acting experience in their portfolio, people will know more about them, and they will get their own fanclub. Which will help them a lot in their next works.

Same.....Most of them look like they're the exact same thing too

But that's why I can't wait until the Oshi no Ko anime drops, that way we can actually have some quality and depth in this god forsaken genre of anime


Well, I don't mind idol shows that explore this topic, showing both the industry's problems and the real challenges of being successful in it. But yet another simple "all-female/all-male idol show" multimedia project seems too forced. Even assuming that this is aimed at some theoretical otaku for whom real idols are too real, it still does not explain this attitude towards the genre.
