The iDOLM@STER Anime Ep: 04 discussion

Oh boy. Pettan episode.

Well, another case of terrible character development. I guess it doesn't take much to get Chihaya to come around.

It's definetely an improvement over episode 3. Not as annoying. And full of Takane. It also seems like they've toned down the whole idol stuffing nonsense. By a lot. I didn't get to see Miki at all! ;_____;

Not a bad episode. Seems like Episode 2 is still the best of the bunch. But I don't have too many complaints over this one. Keroppa.

72/100.

I watched it last night and it was a pretty decent episode. Though I kind of liked episode 3 better

I kind of felt sorry for Chihaya considering her family situation. Though I kind of already knew about it before this episode. 

The ending was pretty good too.

So overall i'm giving this a 7/10.

how could they make an episode with frog costumes and not include Yayoi? D:

[Ch@osM@ster]

It was much, much better than the last episode.

And I liked the ending theme. Aoi Tori is one of my favorite songs from the game.

[Landir]

Probably my fav episode till now. The only sad thing for me was the lack of MikiMiki. Still, loved this episode, so much Takane love and Chihaya too. The ending was pretty cool , Aoi tori was quite good for this episode and the cold atmophere of the ending.
Well, i'll give it a 85/100
Keroppa.

Much better than last episode, but for being a very dramatic episode, it kinda lacked any sort of deep-felt drama.  You didn't really connect to Chihaya's pain until the very end of the episode, where you could see how drained and sick of the situation she was.  So by the time you got to know the real Chihaya, the episode was pretty much over before you could delve more into her character.  When she "ran away" in the episode, they really could have taken the opportunity there to really showcase how caged in she felt.  However it wasn't really showcased until the end, perhaps on purpose so you could be in the dark about it like the producer.  Also it seems to me Takane is upstaging the producer each episode when she imparts some wisdom into whatever they're doing haha.

Not a bad episode, just average and not worth rewatching...I'm hoping things pick up after episode 5 since it looks like that episode is the typical beach/hot springs episode.

[SereneMidnight]

I really loved this episode, probably because of Chihaya.

Still, can't wait for the next one.

[pariah164]

I have really liked all the episodes so far, and this is no exception. I did feel super depressed/angry after it was over though. Can't wait for episode 5.

[azuyuki]

They'll probably go over Chihaya's backstory a later time, assuming they'll do it, her backstory in general is something that would require at least a full episode for. I also liked her active participation after the producer's pep talk.

Also is it just me or are they trying to make Hamzou the mascot of iDOLM@STER? Not that I would mind, the Hibiki and Hamzou scenes are teh lolz.

[s8C]

The Chihaya stuff was just a B Plot. The episode was all about Takane's fursuit fetish.

[animagic4u]

The episode was all about Takane's fursuit fetish.

XD lol Foreshadowing Takane's episode?

[Clear Blue]

Man, A-1 sure put a lot of effort in this anime.
