I already wrote a review on this show for season 1 and gave it a 9/10, but I decided to come back and rate this show a 10/10 because it is amazing!! Seriously, I love this show. The characters, the animation, the storyline, and the music are everything!!
One of the best things this show did was the introduction of Re:Vale, not only did this duo thicken the plot and add to the drama, but they bring a nice comedy and more insight to the music industry. If you don't fall in love with Momo, or if Yuki doesn't pique your interest, you're lying. We already have our main boys of idolish7, and the rivals TRIGGER, but Re:Vale adds a balance and really makes you feel like you are watching diverse idol groups go about their journey in show business.
This season is so amazing because the character…

Okay, this season was SO worth the watch. I was hooked almost all the time.
While practically almost everything was great, what I loved most about this season was pretty much about the characters: the valuable characterizations, relatively even attention onto characters, also good attention onto characters that we didn't get to see much of in the first season, the way Re:vale was introduced and included a sufficient amount of times, just- yes.
It did feel a bit too wild with the cliche everything's-somehow-connected/it's-a-small-world kind of trope, but nevertheless, almost every single bit made sense. Even though the first season already made the characters feel like real humans with feelings and struggles, the season season really made it feel like that all the more. It was truly a v…

A True Masterpiece, I don't like idol animes in general but Idolish7 is an exception.
I watched a Mv on YouTube, I liked it and I know it has anime too, I am not a fan of idol Animes, but I was bored so I decided let's give it a try, At first I thought it must be a reverse harem or your regular idol anime, I watched first two episodes and it I liked it so I watched more and more episodes, with each episode I loved this anime, It was not a reverse harem and it was also not like other idol Animes, Idol Animes are boring but this anime is not like that, it is the Best idol anime Ever.
Now whenever we talk about idol anime we will think of rainbow, sunshine, guys/girls singing and having fun. It is that to a certain point in Idolish7 but it's lot more than that, It focuses lot on behind the sc…

SPOILER FREE REVIEW (i have not played the game)
I am not joking when I say this is one of the best, if not, THE BEST idol anime I have ever watched (specifically male idol anime).
I am so confused as to why not a lot of people are watching this. Is it because it's a male idol anime and most of the characters are boys? Is it because it's from a game? Is it because it looks like fujobait? Is it because it's probably a boring reverse harem with a boring MC? (it's not).
People are sleeping VERY hard on this show.
Story:
Okay, to be honest, the story isn't too amazing but it's better than most idol anime out there. It sometimes gets a bit too cliche at times but if you can turn a blind eye to that, it's a pretty solid show. Each character gets their own arc (a lot of them are pretty damn…

So I just marathon this anime from Season 1 to Season 2
I really enjoy the 1st season but in 2nd season the story become heavier (soo deep)
I mean too much emotional scene in the story
Adding deep story to Music genre will decrease your enjoyment to the music it self.
They have 7 main character that's a lot and make a problem. The problem is not because how many character it have, but the transition between the character and story. Having deep story, too much transition without completing the story (scene) that's confusing. Imagine you are angry right now and listen to happy music, can you happy? while watching this season I was like whathetkgjrlewkgjeorigjfv;m;we, and when they singing I can't feel the song.
Is there any Music genre anime with heavy story (deep)? well actually yes.
Shouj…

Second Beat is a fun addition to Idolish7! The plot twists and drama are engaging, and the characters are very likeable. It's creative liberties towards how they portray the entertainment industry also feels believable.
That being said, one of the few drawbacks I have with this season is that it felt a little rushed. Certain problems and plot twists are handled in a way that makes me feel like I missed something. The final episode is fine, but I wished that they extended the runtime of that episode a bit so that they can showcase the performances the characters worked so hard to perfect throughout the series.
Overall, Second Beat is a great watch and I can't wait for the Third Beat!

I have fallen in love with IDOLiSH7 since its first season, and then since I got hyped, I decided to download the game and play it. I have been waiting long for Part 2 to be animated and I'm really glad about it.
WARNING: THERE MAY BE SPOILERS
Story
To sum it up, IDOLiSH7 is simply about 7 male strangers who were together and became an idol group. Simple enough? Yes indeed, but wait until you watch the troubles and problems that they had along the way. The story is a wild ride of an emotional roller coaster. The moment we felt glad, the next episode makes us cry. Compared to the other male idol anime that I watched, IDOLiSH7 had more realism to it and had many relatable problems. I'd say that the deep story is what makes me loves IDOLiSH7 so much.
In the Second Beat, we are introduced t…

I’ll be brief... everything was oh so joyful. The character growth was beautiful, the friendships, and relationships being one of this show’s greatest strongest points along with a believable/relastic plot. I only give it an 8 though for getting my hopes up with it’s cliff hangers (like ep 14/start of ep 15( I mean there’s no way he did it it but the fact it was the cliffhanger made me think otherwise and actually fall for the trick. Even though it turned heartwarming, I can’t help feel disappointed because if the twist followed through it’d be more interesting)). Also the zero mystery too obvious. Sometime the art was a little off but outside of that it was overwhelmingly enjoyable, especially if you’re into cute boys with personalities and depths running towards their dreams! I’d also li…

Why is this anime not talked about more? It's so good? Genuinely, I know all y'all out there questioning this anime are like, "It's an idol anime, it's obviously trash, people only like it because of hot boys and pop music." Take that shit and get out of here because this anime has *substance* right alongside the hot boys and pop music.
I'll keep it a buck on the sound and art: I love both now, but I didn't always. I will say I saw a lot more to love this season as far as the art style was concerned, but I came to love it initially since it wasn't entirely eye-catching. The sound--talking about the OSTs here rather than the idol groups' music--has its moments, but for the most part, it's pretty average.
This anime still deserves a ten, though, because it baffles me how well IDOLISH7 can…
