The iDOLM@STER

Weekly Anime Ratings & Digest – October 31st – November 6th

November 7, 2011 by Chikorita157 4 Comments

Miraculously, our power finally returned on Monday after I spent two nights sitting in a cold, dark room.  Thankfully, there were no trick-or-treaters this year, so we didn’t have to go through the annoyance of the doorbell ringing every minute and having to pass out candy.

Aside from that, Ika Musume finally comes back from hiatus to make our day brighter along with Ritsuko’s comeback as an idol. Fate/zero on the other hand, it was somewhat disappointing, but still remains strong show. In addition to this, I will share this year’s pick for the Aniblogger Secret Santa project. (Image Source)

The iDOLM@STER – Episode 18 – Ritsuko’s Reluctant and Unexpected Idol Comeback

November 4, 2011 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
Everyone knows that Ritsuko's former Idol career is no secret.

For a while now, Ritsuko became a full-fledged female producer of Ryuuguu Komachi. Somehow, Azusa comes down with an illness, which causes her to become afraid of the inevitable…

Weekly Anime Rankings & Digest – October 24-30

October 30, 2011 by Chikorita157 5 Comments

Artist: kabkin (カブキン)

Tomorrow is Halloween. So, this weeks picture fits the mood with Makoto and Hibiki wearing the “My Dear Vampire” outfit from The iDOLM@STER 2. On a side note, the PlayStation 3 version of the game came out last Thursday in Japan. Hopefully I’ll get a copy to play around at years end.

Despite the lack of Ika Musume 2 and a snowstorm that hit the Northeast, which knocked out our power for over 24 hours, this week’s Anime had very exciting developments. Makoto finally gets some time in the spotlight along with Iskander’s/Rider’s epic attack against Berserker.  (Image Source)

Note: The Fate/zero Episode 5 post is delayed until tomorrow, unless the power comes back on tonight.

Weekly Anime Rankings & Digest – October 17-23

October 24, 2011 by Chikorita157 5 Comments


What is this? Are you doing weekly digests now?

Considering that I’m now taking part in the Anime Power Rankings, the answer is yes. A fellow Animeblogger named kevo runs these rankings to see how the currently airing shows are doing at a particular week. Given that I want to share my reasoning behind these votes and possibly add brief thoughts of episodes from older seasons that aren’t part of the rankings, I decided on doing it.  This is how it’s going to work:

  • I will concentrate on the shows that I have voted on the rankings first. This means the shows I’m up to date on are eligible for this. Sub availability plays a key role in this. Once I know enough Japanese, this will go a lot smoother as I can just jump right in and then re-watch the subs later while having a sufficient understanding of what I watched.
  • Second part will focus on unranked shows. These are shows that I’m currently behind in because of uncontrollable circumstances.
  • If there is any, the last part only focuses on episodes from shows of other seasons.  They won’t be part of any ranking whatsoever.
  • Lastly, this is not a replacement for episodic posts. It’s meant to recap what I watched during the week.

So, let’s get started, shall we? (Image Source used in this post)

The iDOLM@STER – Episode 12 – Miki’s Rebellious Return

September 29, 2011 by Chikorita157 1 Comment
No matter how you look at it, she is very upset.

Through some miscommunication, it caused Miki to get her hopes up a bit too much. Ultimately, Ritsuko’s rejection crushed her dreams and this causes her to change her mind and quit until the Producer convinces her to come back.

Let this scene set the theme for this mystery...

I have to admit, I’m not a big fan of the Futami twins because they are out of control. Despite the cliché storm in their mystery, they were still entertaining.

The iDOLM@STER – Episode 8 – Adventures of Azusa Miura… in a Wedding Dress!

September 10, 2011 by Chikorita157 4 Comments
It seems that everyone wants a piece of Azusa...

Sorry about that long delay… Since the subs got delayed for the past two weeks due to some extraordinary circumstances, I had to put this show off and watch some of my backlog. Gratefully, episodes 8 and 9 were finally released today, so I’m confident that I will get caught up by Monday.

As for this episode, Azusa getting lost and a group of bodyguards chasing after her was a fun experience. All of this happened with her wearing a nice-looking wedding dress.

Yayoi is so cheerful and caring.

Compared to the other girls, Yayoi is not so fortunate since she isn’t well off and her parents have to work most of the time in order to support all six children. Out of curiosity, Iori and Hibiki tags along to experience how Yayoi shop for food and meet her siblings.

Summer 2011 Anime Midseason Impressions

August 18, 2011 by Chikorita157 7 Comments

Believe it or not, summer is more than half way done.  Although I haven’t watched much from the summer lineup since I went on a two-week vacation late last month, the shows that I watched were very enjoyable. Out of the show from this season’s lineup, I have watched Ikoku Meiro no Croisèe and The iDOLM@STER along with two shows from last season. (Image Source)

The iDOLM@STER – Episode 6 – Producer-san’s Panic Attack

August 16, 2011 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
It seems that Miki completely misunderstood the Producer as usual.

765 Production’s future now looks brighter as Ritsuko’s new idol unit Ryuuguu Komachi got approved with Azusa, Ami and Iori being a part of it. While they work on their gig for their debut on television, the Producer becomes increasingly anxious that it leads us to many unforeseen mistakes.

The iDOLM@STER – Episode 5 – A Short Summer Vacation on the Beach

August 5, 2011 by Chikorita157 2 Comments
Time for a water gun fight!

Two weeks later, I have finally returned from my rather long vacation after traveling over 3000 miles in the car! While the activity on my blog took a slight nosedive, I have enjoyed my time and now feel refreshed.

Coincidently, I watched the beach episode today with the girls and Producer going on a one-day vacation to relax from the blistering heat amongst the lack of air conditioning. As you expected, it’s time for fanservice!

The iDOLM@STER – Episode 4 – Durians, Wacky Cooking and Chihaya’s Displeasure

August 1, 2011 by Chikorita157 3 Comments
Everyone seems to be excited, except for Chihaya...

In effort to make the girls of 765 Productions more noticeable, they appear on a wacky Iron Chief-like show with a crazy frog host. While it seemed fun for Haruka, Hibiki, and Takane, Chihaya wasn’t pleased with the lack of singing at the event.

We are getting close to the middle of summer and I find myself wanting to watch another show. So I decided to take another look at THE iDOLM@STER, a show that has nothing to do with robots, but a more faithful adaptation of a popular idol raising simulation game. (Image Source)
