Idolls!

The best character in this anime is the totem. Ten episodes were enough to make this anime completely rubbish. Honestly, I did not expect much from "Idolls!", Only that it would have common elements and that I would not disconnect from your proposal. However, although it really did happen, it wasn't quite what I wanted. First, it must be said... The combination of CG, music, history and characters is tragic. Very tragic. Offensive. It is not legal, it does not introduce interesting elements and it does not manage to have the minimum of identity. I would not like to compare it with Love Live and Bang Dream,but these are infinitely better, have greater competence from the producers and convey some relevance of their own. From the opening episodes, I had some hope, after all, I was able to laugh at the bizarre that it was. Even though it had a deep decay, it was an anime that I managed to laugh at. However, from the moment they introduced absolutely ridiculous things, I was unable to save the show. WHO IS GOING TO MAKE A SHOW HIT AN EGGPLANT IN THE FACE OF THE OTHER FRIEND? WHO WILL SING A MUSIC AS OFFENSIVE AS THE CHARACTER OF CHARACTERS? Honestly, this show is just shit. Rubbish that shouldn't exist. It is not as if it could not be better than it really was, since the beginning is pleasant, even with the problems, but I cannot tolerate the very attempt and goal of being garbage. It seems that the producers of this show wanted to make this anime on purpose, just to remember that there are such horrible works in video media productions. Definitely, my lost time will not be rewarded. At least he has a totem pole, he is the best character in this rot.

This anime makes me think if writing a review for it is even worth it. It doesn't even feel like anime; it feels like a failed comedy gag that lasts for 5 mins. Thank god each episode is only 5 mins long, with the OP&ED taking up the other 3 minutes. Story (2) & Character (3): If you're wondering, there is marginally a story. Four somewhat newbie idols are trying to fill a concert hall of 100 audiences in 10 days, with each episode describing a different part of their idol daily lives. Annnnnnnd that's it. There's no build-up, no drama. The jokes fall flat and they're not reallythat funny. For episodes this short it's hard to develop characters to the extent that is satisfactory. The best character is probably not even the main characters themselves. It's a freakin' talking totem. The totem moves the "story" forward by narration. You know that something is wrong if you need a narrator to make things move along in an idol anime. Art (5): It's not bad but you can tell the producers didn't get much in terms of budget. *The 3D character models and background looks like they have been made with Live2D Cubism. *Each episode re-uses probably 80% of the same assets as the previous episode. *Each episode pretty much has one main background and the characters move inside them. There's barely any camera perspective changes. Even if there is, it's the same angles. Sound (7): The only, and I mean the only, good thing about this anime is the background music and its OP&ED. OST fits every situation well, which I guess is the only thing that matters since the genre is music. Enjoyment (3): I was working on something else while watching and I was able to be productive. It tells you just how "background noise" this anime is. Overall (3): If you have roughly 80 minutes to spare in your day where you just want some background noise, this is perfect for you. Honestly, I feel bad for the VAs. As far as I can tell, this anime is a reflection of their real world situation: they are not popular and they barely get noticed.
