The iDOLM@STER Anime Ep: 20 discussion
« on: November 18, 2011, 12:14:26 am »
I would probably called this a 'Crowning Moment of Heartwarming' episode.

That could be the most emotional episode ever in the series. And also, let's have a standing ovation for Chihaya Kisaragi...

Looks like Kuroi's done it in the last episode from the beginning, and guess what, Jupiter is about to turn the cards out against Kuroi. At the hospital, we saw Harurun sitting in the waiting room, when the Producer and Chihaya are in the clinic. But when I heard the music-box version of 'Aoi Tori' during the flashback scene, I was stunned, and I have to get my blue hankie ready. When Chihaya (the second of my favorite idols) is absent in some shows including their show (from the 15th episode). As Haruka heads to the office, she meets with Chihaya's mom, and she presents Haruka a sketchbook, in which Chihaya's lil'bro (named Yuu) used when he spends time with his big sis in the past. As she talked with the Producer in Takagi's office (last week when he talks to Takane in the same room), the Producer told her that he is doing his best and we see a montage from the sixth episode. Meanwhile at the dressing room in which they will perform a concert, Haruka looks at Yuu's sketchbook, until Miki comes to see her. A few minutes later, Haruka has the ultimate key to bring Chihaya's voice back. Meanwhile as the scandal continues to spread thanks to Kuroi, Haruka heads to Chihaya's apartment and talks to her until, Haruka declares the L4U veteran to sing on stage to reach for the stars. As Haruka opens the door and enter and gives some song notes to her and Haruka leaves as Chihaya reads a letter to her while the others go practicing making some lyrics and rehearsals for their upcoming concert as Kotori prepares a another Luxury outfit for Chihaya (I wonder what's this called? Last time, it's Pink Diamond 765). And when Chihaya looks at her brother's sketchbook, she was go for it. At the rehearsal, I saw Makoto wearing training gear for the first time (wow she's perfect!) and Yayoi wearing it too! As the audience getting ready as the girls headed on stage, they saw Chihaya, and everyone is now getting ready for it as Chihaya emotionally cried. After RK (Ryuugu Komachi)'s performance, it is now time for Chihaya to set the stage, but thanks to the reinforcements of Haruka and the idols, a miracle finally occurred, as Chihaya's voice is back to normal. I am tearjerked for this crowning miracle as Chihaya can finally sing again. Good god almighty, I salute you, Chihaya!

Next week: Wow, I hear Takagi (Otsuka) and the Producer (Akabane) are doing in the preview! Can't wait for this.

Overall: 10/10

Gah, this is seriously the only anime that's ever made me cry.
Amazing episode, 10/10 for sure.

Also, I REALLY don't like Kuroi. That was a low blow, dude. Seriously. :(
NOT OKAY!

I got to say this was a pretty sad and amazing episode. The ending was especially pretty touching I must say. So far this has been one of the best episodes yet.

9/10

P.S FU KUROI!!!

Hrm....You got most of it right, but I'll fill a little bit of info for you. (Just watched the Chinese translation of it.)

In the beginning, Makoto reads the gossip magazine about Chihaya's past (with Kuroi's lies in it). Saying that the time when her brother died, she was only 8 yrs old. (Chihaya believes it's all true, even though Kuroi got some of the facts wrong. <_<)

As Haruka opens the door and enter and gives some song notes to her and Haruka leaves as Chihaya reads a letter to her while the others go practicing making some lyrics and rehearsals for their upcoming concert as Kotori prepares a another Luxury outfit for Chihaya (I wonder what's this called? Last time, it's Pink Diamond 765).
Since Chihaya isn't willing to meet Haruka in person, Haruka put the song lyrics that was written by everyone in the mailbox (or how she says it in the 'post') along with the letter and Yuu's drawing book.

I think the costume is called "Stylish Denim".

@Clear: Oh thanks for the info. Got to think that Makoto and Yayoi wearing their training jackets for the first time since the first half of the series.

Yes. And I need to add this whole anime for crycute. The animators animate crying so cutely.

A Haruka and Chihaya episode with a bit of Studio Gainax like flair (reminded me a lot of Eva).
Very touching and very lovely!

Also, I am loving Jupiter so much. They should talk back to Kuroi!

Even though I absolutely loved this episode, there's still something that bugs me. What were those phone calls for episodes 17 & 18?

Maybe Chihaya's mom? or dad?

Also did anyone notice the weird quality shifts? Sometimes it's animated good and sometimes really bad. It seriously bothers me.

Hmm. When you think about it I did notice a quality shift when Chihaya was singing in the end. I don't usually pay attention to that kind of stuff so it doesn't really bother me as much.
