For this episode I will be talking about the latest in the Idolm@ster series The Idolm@ster Million Live. A somewhat sequel to the OG IM@S from 2011, tho it does not have the same grace as the originalEditor's note: Noticed that at the beginning I said Cinderella Girls when I meant OG Idolm@ster.

2024/02/13

Starting the main part of this years thene in earnest, let's talk about The Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls U149, a return to form for the series after years without an anime. This one wears it's inspiration on the original IM@S on it's sleeve and while it doesn't sport the same presentation of the 2016 Cinderella Girls, it makes up for it in animation and wholesomeness.For reference, the songs I mention in the episode:5 ED (Risa's Episode): GEMSTONE6 ED (Haru's Episode): ACEFull

Recently finally had the time to finish up reading Kaguya-sama Love is War manga and in order to give it a proper send off I wanted to make an story analysis to remember how this unassuming rom-com began as your everyday manga and ended up redefining how we see character writing.

This episode I will discuss an anime that had some considerable hype near release but for some reason went quiet right after that. Knowing the track record of the studio, A-1 Pictures, when it comes to original anime, I felt compelled to check Engage Kiss out to see whether the studio has improved on its original releases or the quality work is reserved to just adaptations.More of The Weeb Initiative:Youtube:
