Introduction
Ino Sakura has just moved to Tokyo to join the newly formed Fruit Tart, an idol group composed of three members besides herself—Roko Sekino, a washed-up child actor; Hayu Nukui, a failed musician; and Nina Maehara, a model who is still waiting for her first gig. They soon begin their new life together in their dormitory, the Mouse House. But there is no time to get settled as the girls awaken to a shocking reality: Fruit Tart is in a deep debt of one hundred million yen and has not even started yet!
With the possibility of Fruit Tart breaking up and the Mouse House being torn down if they cannot repay the money, the girls must work their way up from the bottom of idol society by making a name for themselves and writing their own songs. Luckily, Hemo Midori, an experienced idol, is a huge fan of Sakura and decides to join the group. With smiles on their faces, Sakura and the other girls work hard to become popular idols while making sure that each day is as fun as the last.

This anime is about a newly made idol group with debt from the start. Its members are dropouts in their own way so the challenge is how to be popular with their skills and pay off their debt. The plot is good though if you think about it, having them as idols, there is only a small frame about their training for the song or even their screen time for performances, so it's quite a pity as this anime lacks for more of those scenes. It cannot also provide you with a whole MV of their song in the episode.
Characters - in terms of character, each of them has their own unique trait, which is a good thing. Cause if you play with who's who just by using their traits then you'll enjoy specifying each of them.
This anime has a comedy, fan service and also makes you crave for more yuri scenes.

Unfortunately this show looks really bad, like have you ever noticed how weird the producers eyebrows are. Aside from that everything tends to look very flat and the patterns of the outfits are pretty bad.
There were some decent jokes, but way too much straigth man pointing out the joke-ism, especially unnecessary since all the characters are roughly equally depraved, which too could have been used for humor but was rarely.
This is primarily a fetish show with a slight idol aesthetic, which is fine, but most of the fetishes did not appeal to me like smell fetishism, light yandere or the main girl constantly pissing herself. I kinda like the contrast between broccoli girl and cow tits girls though. As far as the idol part goes it's kinda lame that the group can always lean on successful f…

Ochikobore Fruit Tart (2020)
Is it a generic idol show with some comedy? Yes, it is absolutely.
We get plenty of cute scenes and it can be quite funny. The maid outfits are amazing as always and so are the cat outfits. Won't even ask how the tails are attached though.
The art is very nice and pleasant since it is from 2020 and suits the simplicity of the show.
The Op and Ed are good, I found the actual songs far too cringe to watch so I did actually skip those mostly apart from the Broko song.
Characters are all extremely generic and easy to understand. They all have very easy life situations and cover all the bases for a varied audience. Hayu Nukui for me was the most interesting character and cutest.
Overall it is a good show and is very generic but then so are many idol shows.…

The anime is pretty light and easy to watch even with the idol theme.
The Mouse dormitory situation always on the downside but the characters are just so lewd,thirsty and funny so you don't get that heavy mood that much. The anime keep showing off the yuri fanservice so I'm always horny and want more when watching this anime. I hope that this series get an OVA, Movie or Season 2 if possible. Even though the anime ended with a happy ending, it does feel kinda abrupt. They are currently still involve in a big scale project and there are much more to tell on what is about to happen.

As a massive idol fan, the premise of OchiFuru intrigued me. The only other "unpopular idols" anime I had seen before this was Ongaku Shoujo, which was terrible in its own right. But I had hoped that OchiFuru would change my mind about this niche of idol anime.
No. OchiFuru is a dumpster fire. I am one who believes that fiction should not be held to the same moral standards as reality, so ecchi typically does not bother me. But when I'm watching a music/idol anime I expect singing, dancing, a little bit of friendship building, and the occasional gaybaiting. OchiFuru is almost entirely fanservice of underage girls. Every other scene is either a zoom in on jiggling boobs or a panty shot. Those scenes in between those? Sister complexes, shame play and loli baiting.
And you know what? If tha…

With this show, Oshibudo, Lapis Relights, Failure/Unpopular Idols are slowly becoming one of my favourite go-to subgenres. Unlike your conventional idol series, these shows often take a look at the girls' lives outside of the idol context and often make for good TV by virtue of a blend of comedy and SoL.
Ochikobore Fruit Tart definitely stands out as one of the most risque productions from a Kirara adaptation. Many moments of fanservice, crass humour, and of course toilet jokes are thrown around. But execution-wise they all pretty much hit their landing, and the fanservice is more cute than erotic anyway. The crassness of it all surprisingly gels well with the dark humour that crop up surprisingly often (though of course in context the implications of the dark underbelly of the idol indu…

A show doesn’t have to be complex or meaningful to be good. Sometimes all you need are some endearing characters and a whole bunch of fun and silly setups and it can create an amazing show that’s a complete joy to watch. And that’s basically Fruit Tart. While Fruit Tart may not have the same level of development or depth that other top tier CGDCT have, it does make up for it by being unique and having a lot of fun.
The premise of Fruit Tart is simple, you have a couple of rejects and put them together into an idol group. There they try to make their mark on the world and rise up in the ranks. To do something they haven’t been able to do recently in their careers. Succeed! The start does a good job of showing their goal and their struggles and giving backstory into their characterization.…

This is the journey of an idol group called "Fruit Tart", on a mission to repay a huge debt of 100,000,000 yen!
If you have watched Hanayamata before, you'll noticed some similarity between this and Hanayamata in terms of animation and character design. The reason is Ochikobore Fruit Tart's creator, Hamayumiba Sou is also the creator of Hanayamata which explains the similar vibe between the two anime. If you have enjoyed Hanayamata before, then you might enjoy this anime. But before that let's go with the details in the anime!
The story is about an aspiring idol, Ino Sakura decides to head to Tokyo to achieve her dream of becoming an idol. There she meets the three characters living in the dorm called "Mouse House" and suprisingly they're all unpopular in certain career. And what makes i…

Ochikobore Fruit Tart is a fun slice of life anime about a bunch of cute girls doing cute and funny idol things.
This review may contain light spoilers.
Story: 7/10. This group of failed "quasi-celebrities" experiences the idol industry in a light atmosphere and with constant jokes, but the story has certain passages that can be frightening from the perspective of the characters. I like how this anime manages to, at the same time, reliably portray certain industry rot and joke with them. Like when the manager tells the girls, in preparation for their first concert, that they should choose panties that may appear because they need to appear. After all, there is a demand for that. The concept of demand is a recurring theme in the anime and the manager of these girls is constantly trying to…

Ochifuru was a thoroughly enjoyable experience throughout and gave Love Live Nijigaku a run for its money as the best idol show of the season.
Coming into this season, I had never heard of the Ochifuru idol project before. Based on the character’s designs and the fact that I watch every show every season, I gave it a shot. I could not be happier that I did. Every single week I was blown away by how genuinely hilarious this show is. The girls are great and there’s a girl for every type of taste in the show. The antics that the girls get up to never get old, and seemingly every week the ridiculousness was taken up a level. I can definitely say there was never a dull moment.
I think the score that you see for the show on MAL is unfairly harsh and probably indicative of people who are not th…

You like fruits, love idols and enjoy listening to cheerful music? Then Ochikobore Fruit Tart (or in short OchiFuru) is the perfect anime for you!
There is no question that the idol genre is booming at the moment. We could already watch in the summer season 2019 a wonderful CGDCT (Cute Girls Doing Cute Things) story with "Re: Stage! Dream Days ♪", where our girls gave everything to become successful idols and win the competition. At the end of 2019/beginning of this year we were able to experience a new creative idea with "22/7", how AI can also be used in the idol business. In the warm summer season, we were able to see a wonderful light show from "Lapis Re: LiGHTs". Now at the end of an unusual year, "Love Live! Nijigasaki" and "Ochikobore Fruit Tart" showed us all the beautiful and happ…
