Who want to be japanese idol survivor with x-factor competition?
Didnt have plan for this anime except I used it as background sound while Im playing video games. Lets just say there some interesting development in the middle of the series that made me watched more until the end.
Apparently people said this series is carbon copy of another, but I havent it so this I treated as my first experience. The series focused on 9 girls who won regional competition to be part of selection project. As 9 finalist, there live & perform together to become the best. As they continue their daily hard work life, they learn more about each toerh while trying to understand each other motivation on why they want to be part of this idol programme. The question are more about why rather than how, hence many question are tossed around throughout the series.
Let me be honest as I though this would be generic idol anime from the beginning. It started with preliminary round with tons of girls that participated in regional selection. As the selection are base solely on online vote, you watch them trying to appeal to live audience while participatin in these "live in idol mansion" programme. As usual, there are drama among themselves but friendship prevail as usual. Despite i said this being "realistic idol anime", Im saying more toward hardship & not being typical school idol group.
Even by idol standard, this is slightly above average for me. There are part that I liked, especially the struggle toward near the end of the series, but i think you would rather watch many other better idol anime that have more fun / interesting theme.
