"What is a Puchidol? An adorable little pile of cuteness" - Me, in this review. The way I view spin-offs is that they have 2 purposes: to provide more material for the fans of the show to enjoy or to draw in new fans to the main show. If a spin-off manages to do the former without doing the latter, I still consider it a success. So, in my mind, the best type of spin-off is one that not only provides existing fans with more content, but also manages to draw new fans in. And PUCHIM@S has managed to convince me to tryout the iDOLM@STER in the near future. Story - 10/10 What story? This doesn't need a story. It's just a set of daily events that are really entertaining. Each Puchidol has their own special trait, that is apparently supposed to reflect something about the Idol they are a counterpart to (I say apparently because, as previously mentioned, I haven't seen the main show). Art - 7/10 The art is good. It's colorful. That's about all I can say. Sound - 10/10 This is a music anime...it'd be shocking if the sound wasn't good. Character - 10/10 The Puchidols are easily one of the most amusing things I've ever seen - for a few examples: there's Haruka, who multiplies when water is poured on her; Yukipo, who literally digs holes and jumps into them; Miurasan, who can teleport to the location of the person she is thinking of; Chihaya, who bites people (especially girls with bouncy chests); Takanya, who writes down what she's thinking; and Afu, who loves rice balls. Did I mention that they're also really cute? Because they are. Enjoyment - 10/10 I found this series to be adorable. It's a great time killer, and it's also really short. Overall - 10/10 The snob in me tells me that I shouldn't even think about giving such a high score to a show like this, but I don't care. I absolutely loved this series. Normally, I would end this review with a section where I say that if you liked X series, you should watch this, but honestly...I can't think of anything like this. So...yeah.

PUCHM@S is iDOLM@STER's take on the theme of chibi styled spin-off routes that a number of series like to explore. In most cases they consist of simple fluff that we really have no reason to overthink or be too serious in critiquing; just watch and enjoy for the moment, but PUCHIM@S, while treading in that same territory was fairly more enjoyable than the majority of the other spin-off shows like it. Rather than just turning the whole cast into cute blobs, they keep the girls in their normal forms and instead find themselves discovering the existences of these doll-like entities resembling every girl affliated with765 at random times and in random locations then bringing them back to the 765 studio to shelter them all. When I think of babies with relevant roles in anime like something like Precure for instance, I don't expect much except looking cute and a lot of GOO GOO GAA GAA, but the PUCHIM@S are simply sized like babies and are pretty intelligent and sentient entities that come with their own quirks based on the 765 girls they're visually stylized from and I grew to like all of them quickly. The 765 girls are also here with their personalities and traits seen in the show accelerated a bit. Then the producer is here as well but his head is shaped into the letter P and character made whimsical so he's a goof with less presence here but it's played for laughs. This show is essentially fun fanservice. It's fun seeing the girls interact with miniature versions of themselves as well as being generally happy. The interactions between everyone are executed well and with enough time for us to process the humor in their antics. Episodes are only 2 minutes (credits & next episode previews included) but they aren't bouncing jokes at you at a rapid pace or acting senselessly to make half-baked lackluster parody humor, the pacing is normal so when a situation is still ongoing by the end of an episode it's immediately followed up and multiple consecutive episodes flow together like one. Remember, it's a chibi spin-off so don't overanalyze it, enjoy it.
