AniWorthChance Pop Session
Introduction
This anime is based on a 1999 radio drama about three very different girls: Akari, Yuki and Nozomi; going to see the concert of top pop idol Reika and by going to see this concert their lives are greatly influenced by it.
Akari was raised in a very religious background, she is bright and cheerful and a big Reika fan. Yuki is an independent girl who ran away from her home in Hakodate. She is working in the concert hall of Reika's performance. Nozomi is the daughter from a wealthy family in Kobe. She's got one of the VIP seats at the concert.
The three girls are so inspired by Reika's performance, that they all enroll in the Akiba music school and endeavor to become pop idols themselves.

Recently watched after buying it on a lark from Rightstuf for super c heap. The cover art on the DVD insert is way WAY more ecchi than the show itself, which was a bit of a disappointment. The one thing that made this show worth watching were the characters and for me personally, the English voice cast from ADV Films. The 3 main heroines are voiced by Kelli Cousins, Hilary Haag & Monica Rial. The story is melodramatic to the point of silly, which is unintentionally funny. It's very much like a an American soap opera plot. The bones of a good story are here, and this series would make excellent fodder for a re-make. It just needs more music, more conflict, more sexiness, etc. The original here is pretty mediocre and bland but a thoughtful remake could be potentially great. The core story co…

I've watched a few anime series about pop artists and singers and enjoyed them, this was not one of them. I decided to finish the series even though the start was very poor and cluttered.
Overall the story was poorly done and predicable for the most part. The plot left very little to be desired and most anyone could guessed the outcome after just 4 episodes. Character development was very poorly executed and left the characters seeming shallow. Also, the background stories left some of the main characters unlikable by the end of the series.
The animation for this series did not help the series either. With sub-par animation quality, it left the series feeling about as cheap looking as the writing. As a show that was made for children, it should be adequate to entertain them, but anyone old…

How do you make a predictable anime enjoyable and inspired? Chance Pop Session's answer is to have highly interesting sub-plots that somehow sharpens the main story, incredibly well cast seiyuus and relatable characters. It seems with such a great combo, everything just comes together.
What also makes it so good is that it never drags on with the story or any of the situations so much that it puts you off. Instead, those stories are so well put together that you really feel the impact of the anime as a whole.
The animation for this title is good but has a couple of kinks. I'll start with the bad.
Some backgrounds are very uninteresting and plain, but more annoyingly they have static background people when everyone should be moving, like in a crowd scene. This feels a little cheap and quit…

Since this title just recently got a re-release I figured I'd give it a watch. It was very much worth my time. The story is good for the most part. Its just as the other reviewer said. Everyone should know how the story will play out ahead of time. Luckly, the way that it does is entertaining enough.
The art on the other hand...Is barely serviceable I thought this show was made in the late 90's and then I come to learn it was actually 2001? How is this possible? Why don't music shows by Madhouse productions get good art. I found myself fast forwarding through some of the poor clips.
The sound is what you'd expect from a music show. The songs are good...in small doses. If you don't like the opening song of this anime, don't watch it. They sing it atleast twice an episode. When some othe…

It always blows my mind when I start a new series and poof, no review! How on earth will I decide whether I want to watch it or not? Well no matter, I will say Chance Pop Session from the desolate world of no-review land.
I'd been wanting to see this anime for some time now, ever since I saw a scene on Youtube that was easily the sweetest clip ever. After two weeks of life kicking my butt, it was time. And my timing was just about perfect. This is the show you want to come home to after a bad day. At some points I felt myself get all relaxed, like I was either waking up or lulling into a pleasant nap. It was sweet, it was calming, it wasn't boring. Just the type of show to lift one's spirits.
Unfortunately, this doesn't mean the show is perfect. It has its flaws right along with it's g…
