in my opinion this anime is quite good, although the story is very similar to idoly pride, but I still like this anime, for me this anime can be called idoly pride season two, the character depiction is very good in my opinion because each character has their own background, almost all the songs here are also quite good, like only one yell and butterfly bright, but unfortunately, why is the last song they sing the same as the song in the op, even though I was hoping for a new song, but oh well, in my opinion the anime is still good, although the story in this anime is not entirely original, and the last song sung is not a new song, I still highly recommend this anime, especially for idoly pride fans, as I said earlier, this anime can be said to be like idoly pride season two, although the…

Selection project is an idol anime not like the others, all the characters are in competition and only one must win, but they will learn to become friends throughout their adventures, there is a side story with the two main characters and it's a very moving situation.
The music is very good and the last music which is the ending of the anime is a master class for me. I get a lot of chills throughout the anime, especially during the opening, we see that the author wants to do like his work and give happiness to his spectators! 10/10 for me, worth watching!

I never been big on idol anime but decided to give this one a try... needless to say it is a experience that I will forget :). The show is pretty much about rip off ____ Got Talent and all that. (SPOILER WARNING AHEAD)
For me it started out fine, I was enjoying myself some what... but then they just never had anyone voted off and pulled a FRIENDSHIP IS POWER cliché. I never hated this cliché so much until this show, even after watching my little pony AND not to mention ALL of Fairy Tail. Then after they had no one voted off they disqualified everyone and made it a point to say they are trying to grow as a idol group (without any help from big company's like the one that runs the competition). Then about a episode or two of working on their own they just get to GO BACK AND FINISH?!?!

Part I Overall
This series has horrible story telling. It has a lot of plot holes that can be extremely confusing in the series. This plot of the series does not really tell its own story but rather a mix of Idoly Pride(75%), Lovelive!(10%) and Zombieland Saga(15%). In my opinion, Selection Project is the worst TV Show that I have ever seen.
However, not all parts are considered bad at all. In Zombieland Saga Rip Off Part, they did really well, such as an interesting idea like "Idol that start from zero and be growing"
For Music
I don't like almost song in this series, especially the OP theme song. It doesn't create an Idol op vibe. They also reuse multiple songs at the end. In my opinion, Idol series shouldn't reuse their song strongly because the main selling point of the series are the…

Spoiler Warning.
This show takes the concept of idol shows and gives an interesting take judging by the first episode. It's in the realm of something akin to American idol or Xfactor or well it would be if it decided to continue in an interesting direction. Unfortunately the show does not do this as because these girls develop a sisterly bond with each other whilst knowing each other for almost no amount of time. Not to mention the ENTIRE point is they compete against each other in this cutthroat industry. In episode 10 they give us hope with a plot twist where the girls refuse to vote anyone off and they leave to go alone. This idea goes nowhere because by episode 12 they're back in selection project gaming the system. The characters are nothing special each girl has their one unique trai…

This anime is pretty meh for what it does. Ok, I like the moe/yuri moment there, what’s new? Just the same usuals as seen in different anime’s that You or I watch. I won’t go hate on this anime because they are really on the same level as BanG Dream or Zombieland Saga, but not K-ON.
You can watch those animes I mentioned, because they might interest you the most than this. It’s fine if you want to give this a try because this doesn’t bother me anyways but to yourself nonetheless.
Not a bad anime, its just that same concept with different storyline and characters with different personalties.

I will try not to mention the obvious AiPura similarities here…
SelePro is the only idol show that I've watched so far, and boy was I for a surprise. For starters, throw away the notion that this is an idol show upfront – this is really a reality slice-of-life show wearing the clothing of an idol show. When it comes to its plot, SelePro focuses more on the interactions between the characters and how the show binds them together as performers within and without the stage – a rare look into the hostile world of idols and performers (in real life, that is). The characters themselves are too cookie-cutter (even the trend of a genki lead and a tsundere co-lead wearing red and blue respectively is used here), but I don't mind it.
Definitely my strongest appeal to this show is how it integrates…

Selection project. Out of all the seasonals I never expected this one to be my favorite. Comparing this to more known shows including the love live franchise, what really caught my eye is how good the production quality for this anime is. After the series ended I can firmly say that I am keeping my 10 and here’s why,
Firstly, I would like to put out that I find it great when idol MCs show/vent out their frustrations because in reality life isn't always great. Having an MC that isn't always happy can present more humanity towards the anime. I absolutely loved the first few episodes, it's clear how they identified what the "challenges" the MC would have to face as the plot progresses, and opening the anime showing the vulnerable side of the MCs life, well you'd just want to cheer for her m…

TLDR: Disappointment. If you're here for the girls and the voice actors, fine. If you're here for the anime and story? Go watch Idoly Pride. Selection Project stole the plot and made it worse lol. If you're here for the music, just listen to the OP and ED on youtube.
I'm going to be pretty critical of the show, but everything is my honest opinion.
Disappointment is all I can say. The show had so much potential, and not only did it not make use of it, it trampled all over it and threw it in the trash. Before I blast you with all the negatives, I'll start with a few positives.
+ Great character design.
+ Great outfit design
+ Great synergy between the characters
+ Above average CGI
+ Decent animation for the most part
Okay now that I've told you the good parts about the show, let's dig in…

I have been following Selection Project since it aired but prior to that, have watched some various idol anime including some iM@S anime including the 2011 OG anime and Cinderella Girls, Love Live(Finished Nijigasaki S1 and Superstar) and Idoly Pride.
Now for the review itself after wrapping up yesterday on Christmas Eve, I have been holding up on this for weeks where there were discussions and memes about this being compared to Idoly Pride because of how many similar plot points and the whole plot itself to each other.
So I started on episode 1 where I got introduced to a legendary idol named Amasawa Akari and as a Hayamin fan(seen some of her works and heard some of her songs), I want to pay attention to her character but the problem is she only got like around 2 minutes of screentim…

Diet X-factor.
Being spoiled by Love Live! Superstar! this summer has really backfired on my enjoyment of Selection Project. That’s not to say that Selection Project is a bad idol anime, far from it in fact. It’s nicely animated, the CG and music are good and the characters range from very likeable to… kinda there, but overall it’s just very… okay.
If you’ve seen any sort of singing competition like Pop Idol or X-factor then you already know what sort of general premise you’re getting into. Wannabe idols all over Japan compete to take part in the idol TV competition Selection Project to become the next top idol. We follow Suzune a former bedridden child who wants nothing more than to sing enter the competition and, thats basically the summary.
Unfortunately if you’re someone with at l…

This show clearly was inspired by Idoly Pride, which is not a bad thing if all it did was get some ideas from it. However, this show is a ripoff and is honestly not that great. The animation loses to that of Idoly Pride and so does the story. The story is just your traditional idol story, with some bad drama added in. The last episode was a copy and paste from the third. Very lazy overall and I expected much better than that. Additionally, the songs are worst as well. Personally, for me the songs are worst than every other Idol show I watched so far. Overall, save your time and just watch Idoly Pride, it is much better.

Alright, after seeing the 13th episode, here are my thoughts (and opinion) about this show.
This might contain minor spoilers! (Also, English isn't my first language so there might be errors, please mind them!)
The plot is a lot like Idoly Pride, if not exactly the same, but I won't go into the details of it, you'll just have to watch both of them and find the similarities!
The art is actually pretty good, the 3D feels fluid and it fits the animation, not too stiff and not out of place.
The characters are all likable and have interesting backstories. They all have unique character designs, like Shiori with her cat-like features.
The sound and music is really good, the songs are nice and I have them saved on Spotify already (plus the MV's are nice too).
Overall, this show is decent an…

Selection project: Can I copy your homework? I promise I’ll change it
Idoly pride: Ok, but seriously make sure you change it.
In all seriousness, Selection project and idoly pride have a lot in common. It’s pretty apparent that DG were really influenced by Idoly Pride’s story and wanted to put their own twist on that. Right down to the heart transplant, dead sister that was an idol plot-line. While the story was basically copy and pasted, I still really liked Selection Project and actually think it to be the best idol show this year, yes, including Superstar!.
What made me feel that way? Well simply put, I loved Idoly Pride. Since this was basically Idoly Pride season 2, I loved it. The girls all have really cool backstories and were given their time to shine, as well as some great mus…
