The iDOLM@STER Anime Ep: 01 discussion
Rihsa:
I loved the first episode! It was entertaining and nothing felt wrong about the format or the content of the episode. I got a friend of mine who also like anime, but knows nothing about Idolm@ster, to watch it and he liked it. (: He said it was rather refreshing in a way and I agree. In my opinion, an anime fan who's never heard of Idolm@ster can watch this and enjoy it.
The end of the first episode surprised me. Made me enjoy the ep even more. XD

@Rihsa: I think it's more they have to have an open mind about it. You have to really find the characters interesting and funny to like the show I think.
anyways, I was REALLY pleased. I watched it raw first and barely understood anything but I was laughing and everything at so much. Yukiho with her shovel, Haruka hitting the train door, Miki's "owariiii" and flopping over; everything. it was all so perfect and I couldn't have been happier with it so far. As a first episode it's not bad and sure it did the rush intro of everyone (I don't think a slower intro of the characters would work as well for this though), but I think it was pretty good for an introduction episode. The Producer is a pleasant surprise, he's not too bad!
Butyeah, I don't expect this to bring in any new english-speaking fans since it really is a show tailored for the pre-existing fans.

I don't agree. This show is easier or as easy to get into than, say Haruhi Suzumiya's first episode (their amateur film ep AND the real first episode, since the premise of the show isn't even reveal yet) or Lucky Star's (okay... high schoolers talking about food they like? What's this show about again? Nothing? Oh right lol) or Welcome to the NHK (this guy's afraid going outside or something), etc. The show's cast is made up of a broad range of personalities, and watching them all crazily interact is just infectious and got me pumped. The premise is interesting enough and is introduced right away: These girls want to be top idols for their personal reasons.
The show may cater to existing fans (it should or the anime would probably have a hard time being successful I bet), but at the same time I just don't see what the show has that would push away non-IM@S fans (if you're gonna mention in-game references, there aren't that many so far and they aren't that difficult to get). Maybe I haven't been an IM@S fan long enough to understand.

I got bored. I watched a trollsub. I'm not sure why I laughed, but I did

Meh. Intro be what it may, usually you have to get past a rocky first episode, since the premise and characters of the show all have to be introduced at once (well, not all the characters, but a good chunk of them). It's kinda like manga, where I'm not particularly worried if I have to smile and nod my head at the first half tankobon. Maybe I'm more tolerant than most, though.
I mean, it's like you got 22 minutes to introduce a couple of characters and setting, then bam! Problem. When we're dealing with at least 6 hours of show (13 in this case), I'm willing to look past it if they don't do all of that smoothly in the first 22 minutes of it.
