Introduction
Haru Nabatame, Rio Seibu, and Kyouka Tamaki's idol unit, TiNgS, is on the verge of disbandment. However, if they can fill all two thousand seats in their upcoming anniversary concert, their idol careers will live to see another day. This quota is seemingly impossible for a group like them, especially when the most people they have had at a show is 37. Fortunately, they are placed under a new talented manager—Naoki Hinase.
While initially reluctant due to past experiences, Naoki takes charge of TiNgS after sensing Haru's genuine passion for idols with his own remarkable ability to see the shine of someone who is lying. Despite the challenges she faces in this ambitious endeavor, Haru wants everyone in the world to love idols, even willing to become the shining guidepost—shine post—to accomplish her dream.

First up I am really happy that one clip exploded onto the whole Anime Social Media Community, this show would most likely never gotten as much attention as it has.
In this Anime you are immediately introduced to some very fun Characters you think you've completely seen through within the first few minutes but discover as you watch that you weren't even close to understanding them.
I was extremely impressed by the writing of this Anime, a less talented team couldve easily made this a 5/10 show. The way different obstacles were presented and the way they have been dealt with really sometimes makes you think "Hey, that might just be what I should do to fix xyz in my life"
I genuinely belive if you watch this show with an open mind you can grow significantly as a person and learn some val…

Shine Post has a fair bit of wasted potential, but the character interactions are enjoyable enough to help tug it to the finish line despite never really deviating from the structure of its generic narrative.
The early episodes are definitely where the show is at its weakest, working through very dime a dozen teenage insecurity character arcs to the point that they double up on the "no, I don't deserve to be center" plot back to back for two of the main characters. Then the show gets incredibly dumb, revealing that the group TINGS's main struggles boil down to how our protagonist Haru is just too naturally talented and has it hide it so the other members can keep up. The whole fallout with two of the girls leaving TINGS before the start of the show is revealed as a plot by the president…

Paripi Koumei idol group version???
Idol shows are generally regarded as a niche market with a small target audience. Many people dismissed this show as a typical idol show, including myself, who would never have had the opportunity to watch this hidden gem of a show if I hadn't noticed the show's slow and steady rise in rating as the weeks passed. I definitely enjoyed the show more than I had anticipated.
Right away, the idol group TiNgS was on the verge of disbandment due to not being able to attract even 100 patrons to attend the show in the previous 9 months, and a manager named Naoki was tasked with assisting in attracting 2000 patrons for their upcoming anniversary concert in three months in order to call off the disbandment. Calling in the manager and saving an idol band sounds c…

Don’t Lie-dols.
“Shine Post” is one of those shows that will be criminally underrated and overlooked except by those who like idol anime. It’s very rare to find idol shows which actually puts into perspective the struggles of being an under appreciated, over shadowed idol group with a metaphorical mountain to climb until said group can hit the big time, but “Shine Post” delivers a surprisingly nuance take on the idol story without having to rely on the moé-moés and kyun-kyuns to fill in the gaps were personalities should be.
That’s not to say the moé-moés and kyun-kyuns aren’t present, this is an idol show after all. Haru, Rio and Kyouko are cute, funny and having some incredibly good comedic chemistry, but their character arcs are focused on ridding themselves of their buried negative…

One of the best parts of the growth of the anime industry is the influx of idol projects we’ve had in the past few years. Seemingly every season we have 2-3 really solid ones including some really special ones recently. That said, I think Shinepost is the best new idol project we have had in the past few years, easily. Studio Kai managed to do something that idol studios struggle with, craft a compelling story and realistic nuanced characters.
On the surface Shinepost seems like your run of the mill idol show with cute girls, some catchy songs and nice performances, but where it sets itself apart is its character development. All of the girls had mini arcs that fleshed them out, explained their motivations and backstories, revealed things that they’re hiding from the others and showed the…

Idol shows are a dime a dozen, they are EVERYWHERE! From the Love Life! series to whatever you can think of being a fan of said genre with its many companies and subsidiaries. But more often a times, they can range from the songs to the drama that just serves as plot device to the overall main product. Such is the case with last season's Extreme Hearts from the creator of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha being somewhat of a letdown being a subtle but mediocre character-driven story that sadly, reeks too much of the counterparts (a la PuraOre! Pride of Orange) that did the formula better, but not by much. Instead, it's shows like CyGames's Uma Musume: Pretty Derby franchise that provides the distinction that atop of its horseracing-cum-idol premise, it is a full load-down of its character-driven…
