B-Project: Kodou*Ambitious

Okay so i watched this thinking it was another cheesy reverse harem that would be filled with flirts and a story line that was half-decent, but WOW was i wrong. So... 1. Plot was all over the place. With the main heroine looking more like a background character. The villain looking like it was thrown in at the end to fill in time. And the rest of the time just focusing on the male idols looking like eye-candy though... 2. The animation at times went in and out from looking really nice/well-portioned to times were there eyes almost lined up with there mouths. IT WAS NOT CONSTANTNOR PRETTY. Only when the characters were still and not talking did they look okay. 3. Music was okay nothing that catchy or relevant to the plot. I really thought this would be good enough to make you cringe or at least laugh at those cheesy moments but honestly the plot was not exciting enough nor understandable. So don't bother.

Lemme just start off by saying this is the overall best male "Idol" anime I have seen. That being said, male "Idol" animes tend to be bland reserve-harem stories spiced up with beautiful boys, songs, and a dull heroine. B-Pro is no exception, however it makes a great effort to not make the heroine not so annoying dull or Mary-Sue like which inturn makes the story much more fun and the anime an overall a great way to pass the time. Story - 6 The story itself starts without you and there is not much that is introduced about what happens before the heroine comes alongeven though the story seems to pleading for an explanation about the boys' success before B-Pro [in their respective groups] and how B-Pro "really" came to be. Still, the plot is nicely paced and the boys get entire episodes dedicated to them, however their are obvious favorites in the way that there is less focus on certain guys. Considering there is 10 guys and only 12 episodes this is a fair sacrifice so that story is able to progress and we're not stuck with a repetitive reverse-harem gimmick. [Spoiler-ish] However the ending conjured up in the last two to three episodes is surprising and somewhat uncalled for which is why I brought score down a little bit. The theme of this anime is overall light-hearted and gives little to no clues to the darker future which leaves you very confused as as it all happens too quickly and makes no sense. If they expanded this a bit further and the anime was longer this could have played out more smoothly but they compacted it too much at the end there and left the me with more questions. Art- 8 I personally very much liked the design of the boys. A lot of colours and effects were used throughout the anime to bring life to the beautiful and handsome idols and their life. It was a little more crisp than I expected considering the move to make anime much smoother and softer recently--but the budget may have been used more on the amazing choice of voice actors instead. Sound- 8 Going into what I said above--the voice actors "made" this anime. It was very enjoyable hearing them speak, talk coquettishly, act, and sing. Most of the songs were very addictive and you very quickly may find yourself knowing how the song goes as parts are played strategically and almost incessantly. Character- 7 Half of them were unique, interesting and the series focused on them. They had backstories and problems and our Heroine, of course, helps move them forward in their world of fame. However the way they divided the boys was very bad. KitaKore and THRIVE were full of bright characters and the series seems to focus on them and give them extra shine, while the MooNs boys seem to come up short despite making up half of B-Pro. Considering the anime seems to be about bringing these three groups together both in relationships and for fame there should have been some brighter individuals in MooNs. Considering the sacrifice for the plot in this short anime, they should have brought down a member from THRIVE or something to help give MooNs equal opportunity. Enjoyment- 9 As mentioned, this is my favorite male idol anime show thus far. Plenty of fanservice, pretty boys, entertaining episodes, and songs to keep me intrigued throughout the anime. Overall- 7/8 My score is a little higher than expected, especially for this type of anime, but there wasn't much I could nitpick at so the score is what B-Pro is deserving of. Whether you like idol animes or reverse-harems, B-Pro is well put-together and an enjoyable 12 episode anime.

This show makes me depressed. I recently got into b-project when I stumbled upon the app during my daily idol game discovery and almost instantly fell in love with the characters, the beautiful art and the music. I decided to watch the anime because I wasn't too interested in anything that was currently airing and I wanted to learn about the b-project lore. What I expected was a middle of the road idol anime with no particular plot and decent animation. What I got was a bad idol anime with crappy, almost unwatchable, animation and a weird plot that makes no sense in the end.Story: 4/10 While it has some good moments, most of the plot is held together with threads that ignores its past episodes and leaves the viewers with barley any idea of what is going on. For example, one episode will show an emotional moment between two characters or a character finding themselves, and then it'll all be ignored in the next episode, leaving said character or characters back to the one dimensional stereotypes we learned in the beginning. That only happens though, if a character is lucky. Some get barley any screentime at all, and their development is non-existant. Most of the arcs are brushed off for very explicit fanservice and boring dance scenes, that at least aren't CGI. Art 1/10 If I could give this a 0 I would. The art is bad. So bad that at some points I would purposefully screenshot the stills this show had and would send them to my friends just to laugh at. Even the references on the wiki for this season are hilariously bad. I can only really compliment the fact that this show barley used (if at all) CG models and had really beautiful background art. Sound 6/10 The music is good. I can't really say anything else because I have most of the music downloaded on my phone. Character 3/10 I already discussed this in story, but I give it a 3/10 here because I liked Ryuji's arc quite a bit, despite it being thrown out. Enjoyment 2/10 I literally had a better time just reading the translated stories on the wiki. Overall 3/10 Justice for Mikado.

If you're looking for some "Idol anime" that's not UtaPri, don't waste your time with this one. B Project: Kodou＊Ambitious was a train-wreck. The pacing in this 12 episode show somehow managed to make a dreadfully bland story feel like it lasted 50 episodes. The ending was rushed and incredibly confusing, with enough plot twists wrapped into the final five minutes that--even as I write this--I still have no idea what happened. The art of B Project was passable in the scenes where a single character's face took up the entire frame. Otherwise, the animation was choppy and atrocious. To give the best example Icould think of, every character was drawn with a background character's face if the background character was 10 feet from the camera. I didn't think it was possible, and yet every scene was so visually unappealing that I had a need to show other anime fans how horrible it was. The characters that I can remember were okay I suppose. I can remember Hikaru and...Toma? Tomo?? Yuta??? I honestly can't remember. I just remembered them by hair color/features. No characters were given any real back story even though they were shown in flashbacks. I am really trying to remember anything about any characters at all and I'm only recalling that one of them had a coughing condition which was never fully explained. This show wasn't even charmingly bad. I am someone who will watch anime that I KNOW is awful just to get a good laugh out of it, but I found myself falling asleep from boredom as the episodes went on for what felt like an eternity. This was a forgettable waste of money by the company in what I can only assume was meant to be a low-budget clone of UtaPri TL;DR: This show was far more painful and somehow less visually pleasing than shoving a rusted nail through my eye. I'd recommend skipping this one (though the OST was worth a listen to if you're into J-Pop)
