Story: 9/10. I know this is based of a video game but we are talking anime here- almost each and every episode is fun to watch. The subtle humor and the eagerness of Uzuki makes this show more entertaining to watch. The concept of a producer making the girls' dreams come true by helping them become idols performing on stage sounds fun and challenging at the same time. I don't see much dullness overall in each episode.
Characters: 9.5/10 Uzuki Shimamura is the best girl, followed up by Rin and Mio. All characters in the anime have unique personalities and they are supportive of each other which is satisfying for the viewer like me. Producer-san has a good heart and cares for the girls. Everyone in the anime is likeable, so I pretty much don't see any reason to dislike them.
OST: 9/10. Mu…

I don't understand how 346 production is organized. Are Director Mishiro's words about girls being raw materials really true? It looks like it is.
Moving from a small office to a corporation, in fact, we are faced with a more "realistic" kitchen, forging idols. More corporatism, behind the scenes and other features. However, the words about "raw materials" are not accidental. All these subdivisions of 346 Production were created as if only to mold something working that would bring dividends. The project "Cinderella" seems to stand out from this series, but only tries, because there is nothing to talk about any unity, community. They don't have a common goal. She has nowhere to come from when all the idols are paired up with two or three people and promoted. That is, there is a further fr…

I have been pleasantly disappointed by this. Possibly spoilers incoming? I'll keep them to a minimum.
As if it's a stereotypical (and casual) occurrence, the second season of this show was awful. The standards were set at a decent bar from the first season, yet they under-performed in the worst way possible. It's not as bad as a 2 or a 3, since the animation, story, characters and songs aren't impossible to bear, but it could have been better.
The story! There's not many spoilers that can really affect the experience of the show, so here we go. After the first season finale, there was a small hint towards a 'villain' type of character. And this season starts off with the entire Cinderella Project being postponed until God knows when by said character. Not a bad plotline. I could argue w…

Does Magic really exists?
Yes!
Like the first phrases of the first episode the whole storyline is like magical.
mixed Feelings,developing potentinal, Breaking and rejoining, Apart of Idol anime,the story line is somewhat like other genre,but I does a great job in conveying idols feelings,the one what every fans never notice.
As I expected from Idolmaster series and the A-1 Pictures
Let's start the detailed review!
STORY: 8
As I said,the story line somewhat more drama type compared to first season.Btw they ,managed to add the Moe part in required part,Moreover Idols feels is conveyed in the best way. I had fun watching those anyway, but I can see others says it's waste. The idea I want to convey as long as you starting to enjoy the show you won't see anything, More than the shining of Idol…

Damn this shit sucks!
As a humble Im@s fan who's been carefully eating all the junks they produce for years, That's the first thing i felt when I started this show and yet despite all that I put up with it just so I could see my favorite girls in motion. (And ended up getting no more than a few frames, yes frames and not even seconds, worth of screen time especially For Kanade chan. Jesus...)
You probably have read the summaries already(No MAL'a ofc), I believe The Project Krone had enough potential as a bait to push the story and the characters forward but the end result was...boring, plain and simple. You can already predict the flow of story to the last bit of details. That's not the only part the writers did wrong unfortunately, This show suffers from bland characterization, weak pu…

I was one of the earliest players who started playing the CG game (i.e. Starlight Stage) first, right on the day it was released in iOS, though Android version was released one month earlier. I enjoyed it but only for a month before deleting it, reason being that I had to commit more in real life.
Let's go to the main point. I am lazy to write 2 separate reviews but I will rate both seasons, separated with a '/' mark in my review. 1st number was the rating for season 1 and 2nd number for season 2.
PS: Spoilers alert.
Story: 6/5
Assuming you were born in the 90s or way older than that you probably had heard about Cinderella story. Googling "Cinderella" leads you to different versions of it but the most well-known version will be the one where Cinderella went to a ball with her wearing t…

When I saw that there was going to be a new IDOLM@STER, I was extremely excited. I loved the original series, and I was expecting something similar or perhaps something better. Unfortunately, Cinderella Girls was a mess.
Story:
I am assuming you guys have watched the first season, and frankly speaking, the second season felt worse than the first season. The story was all over the place, and it was very hard to follow.
One redeeming factor is that although the story was poorly written, there was some originality. I thought that it was interesting when (I won't name the characters) struggled to find their true identity. Is this something I truly want to do? If not, how can I change? Although it was interesting and somewhat original, it was poorly written.
Idol-related anime has been aroun…

Idolmaster's most recent installment is yet another bummer of an idol show. Imagine a rocket launching through the air at full thrust: suddenly it starts tilting and then, out of nowhere, its engines also begin to die. It starts to fall faster and faster, spinning and spinning out of control, until finally it hits the ground and explodes into a massive ball of fire. This is pretty well what the transition between Cinderella Girls' first and second season feels like.
That is not to say that the second season is an absolutely abysmal, unwatchable mess, but it is sure one hell of a disappointing way to end a show with promise. Whereas the first season attempts to build towards something meaningful, to give you a reason to care for the characters, the second season takes all that away and pr…

This review is my personal thoughts on the show, you may agree or disagree and i dont care.
So first thing first, The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls is an original series produced by A-1 Pictures, the studio famous for Sora no Woto, Gate, SAO, Ano Hana and many more... this anime provided another look at a very interesting idol industry of Japan.
This show has good setting from the start. A producer will seek for potential idols from the street and ask them to join the project which will raise them to top idol. This refreshing start helps the viewer to get a full look at this industry and get the story running pretty smoothly.
The charm of shows like this lye in the variety of characters and this show nailed it very well. A huge cast of colorful, likeable and charismatic girls that will s…

It is difficult to list everything this show did wrong without giving spoilers, so this will be short.
The story is introduced with Mishiro, a manager who was displeased with the course things in the company were taking, so she proposed some huge changes. This changes lead to a series of individual episodes that tried to develop some characters.
But instead of development, they grew in annoyance or stayed the same, leaving their appearance as the only good thing about them (yeah at least they are waifu material, though not all of them). The drama was poorly executed, extremely forced with embarrassing dialogues, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the dialogues were almost at a Mexican soap-opera level of foolishness and melodrama.
Towards the final it started to show some signs th…

At the point of completing Cinderella Girls season 2 there were no reviews so I thought I'd take up the challenge.
Please keep in mind that this is my first time writing an anime review!
Story: 6
The concept of Cinderella Girls 2nd season was something I was originally excited about. Challenges and conflict was quite lacking in the first season and any actual drama was weak. Since the idols were already at the top of their game, it all felt like a magic dream come true too soon, but now come season 2, this makes sense. As the title suggests, Cinderella Girls takes the classic fairy tale of Cinderella but with idols! There’s the evil step-mother, the prince and the multiple Cinderellas – the formula was perfect, except for that they didn’t quite pull it off.
In this season, everything th…
