These were my first thought after I finished watching this anime. The anime has HUGE potential. Character design is flawless for idol-themed anime. It has some downsides like matching songs to actual performance which looks... weird? I don't really know how to describe it. Seems pretty unnatural even for anime. Concept is awesome. It really is and big plus adding actual idols in cosplays, such good idea! Even tho I would like to have 20 min anime instead of 12, nevertheless this was good addition to the series. Anyway, despite all this, execution of storytelling lacks in so many... ways. Yes, they have such a short time to tell the story but... it's just overdoing at this point. Girls prepare and want to do their best to become best idols, well, we all get it but ...there should be more to it. Idea behind this story was to show how hard it is to satisfy everyone and perform on the best level at the same time - at the very least, that's my opinion but all that was squished into 12 min episodes, so basically less than 150 minutes to tell the whole story. Basically not 12 ep series but 6. If they wanted to do better series they should've just made 20+ min anime with solid storytelling not this half-assed one. Even tho, the anime lacks in so many ways, it got something in it that kept me watching it till the end. Even tho it ended really fast. Reviewer’s Rating: 6 What did you think of this review?

Those girls are cute and charming, but the show sucks. It seems the show is a part of promotion of a social game, but it was not. I have no ideas why the villeins wanted to make the heroins lost the competition and even wanted to let them to have no ways to get on the stage. There was no point to do that and it did not explain any thing in the show. It seems the show has total 12 episodes, but in fact, there are only 6 because each episode length... 12 minutes. Another 12 minutes would be a variety show hold by those voice actresses of the show, and that was far more horrible.Over all, this show has not bad character design, but the story is bad. In the warring states period of idol anime, I have no idea why they think they can earn any money by a story with this quality. 3D model in the show is not bad though. I do not like the show, but I will not stop people to watch it because it still better than Idol Incidents. Nothing can be more stupid than that show.
