This is a review from someone who really likes idol anime. Cue! is a show that grew on me. After an episode or two, I was ready to drop it. Once the show starts having episodes about characters you haven't heard much from, it really start to find it's identity that I felt it lacked in the first 8 or so episodes.

The story is simple and for anyone who's tried a few idol animes, it's very-very familiar: new group of girls new in the seiyuu biz trying to 'make it'. The overarching story isn't what's interesting, but rather character moments and development. I encourage ... you, if you're a few episodes in and are bored by the very little progress t what I'll call 'the overall story', know that there are character-centric episodes that add up to make the majority (but not *every* girl as of Ep 19) feel more fleshed out.

The art's good, the character designs feel a little same-y at the beginning just because there are so many girls in this one. But that feeling goes away, at least it does for me. There's only so many combinations of hair style, hair color, eye color, body shape and size, etc. to make 16 teenage girl anime characters feel unique. This is a nitpick, though, because the art style in a general sense is good.
