In the attempt to make up for lost ground last time, Tiara and her friends joins forces with Melissa, Lily and Coco play in a bump ball tournament. However, something happened with Ashley and Lavie that they aren’t getting along. I wonder why.

22/7 (Nanabun no Nijyuuni) – Final Review

July 12, 2020 by chikorita157 3 Comments

I have seen quite a good number of idol anime in the past. Yes, this includes Idolmaster, Love Live, the 1-hour prequel for Wake Up Girls, Ongaku Shoujo and Re:stage Dream Days. While there is some drama, a producer or the girls working together manages the aspects of the group such as costumes, music, and other aspects.

Sure, there is some drama, but there are also some funny, heartwarming moments as well. Also, the girls in the idol unit usually get along with each other through strong teamwork. Of course, there are the yuri pairings as well.

22/7 (Nanabun No Nijyuuni) is like your typical idol anime, but different in a way. It’s a media project where they picked 11 girls out of about 10,000 applicants. The chosen ones portray their respective character in real life and in animation. Yes, the concept of this project is that the idols themselves transcends dimensions between the real and animated world. As expected, I surprisingly enjoyed this show for various reasons.

Lapis Re:Lights – Episode 2 – Rosetta’s Secret Part Time Jobs

I have to admit that Rosetta looks adorable when she is asleep.

Tiara found out that she is joining a group that is about to face expulsion. That is if they don’t receive a passing grade next semester. While Tiara shows her determination, staging a turnaround looks a lot harder than it seems.

22/7 (Nanabun no Nijyuuni) – Episodes 4-6 – Sakura in the Rain, Team Building, and the Beach Photoshoot

It’s obvious that Sakura loves her grandmother.

Now with Miu’s shyness out of the way, I know everyone is anticipating that beach episode. Of course, we learn about some things that Sakura is hiding about.

22/7 (Nanabun no Nijyuuni) – Episodes 1-3 – The Letter that Changed Miu’s Life

June 25, 2020 by chikorita157 3 Comments

It’s obvious that Miu is very shy and introverted. However, that is about to change.

Believe it or not, I enjoy watching idol anime because well, who doesn’t like cute girls singing and dancing to songs? I do mostly because there is a lot of good coming of age moments and team building. While I covered quite a lot of idol anime throughout the year, I want to change up the pace a bit.

Yes, I want to get away from the Manga Time Kirara adaptations for a bit to cover another idol anime, 22/7, also known as Nanabun no Nijyuuni. What is intriguing is that the concept of this project about “idols that transcends dimensions.” In other words, voice actresses portray their character in animation and real life. The group released CDs before the anime’s premiere, in the same way as Ongaku Shoujo.

While I didn’t plan on Oshi ga Budoukan Ittekuretara Shinu, I have to admit that I enjoy idol shows sometimes. With that, we will focus on one with a young lady falling in love with a certain idol from a rather unknown idol group.
