The iDOLM@STER anime - criticisms

In addition, there is a real paring propaganda in the movie: Yukiho is ALWAYS with Makoto, Chihaya is ALWAYS with Haruka! >:( Not to mention the fact that Chihaya wore A TIE! :(

Please DON'T give me that sexist and selfish comment. Anyways, I agree with MetalPredat0r on the movie. Kana was super annoying and the overall drama dragged to the point that I dislike the the movie altogether. It was even worse than the fanservice parts. The M@STERPIECE live, however, was pretty cool though. Oh yeah, the MILLION LIVE backup dancers aren't really needed too.
Maka:
...Am I the only one who started liking Kana a lot because of the movie? She went from mid tier to one of my favorite girls. The movie actually made me like Shiho (who was previously my fave ML) less, after the way she treated Haruka and Kana. Especially Haruka, who wasn't really doing anything wrong other than being wishy-washy?
I do agree though, the drama could have been less Kana-centric and less "we can't learn this dance ;_;"-centric in general. I wish they had thrown in more varied conflict, you know? It felt a bit like a 30 minute anime episode stretched into a movie, sans the entire concert scene...
Speaking of the concert scene, that was some BAD cgi they used. Like enough to be distracting.
Also no offense but I don't think "xyz wore this" is a valid criticism of a movie...

I hate saying this, but I do agree with this point most of all. The initial announcement was nice and the idea of having them in is a risky, but (in my opinion) ambitious move. Sadly, none of them got the potential to show off who they are. If it weren't for the translations by chaos176, I still would have no idea who they were besides a few. It also doesn't help that only about 2-3 out of 7 of them did remotely ANYTHING. It's rather sad that the short 30-something page manga tie-in chapter did a better job with them than a two-hour movie.

More power to you. I liked how Kana is portrayed as looking up to 765Pro the most out of all of them. It makes sense for her character. Sadly, her being the main source of drama was what put her down. I love Kana, but the movie didn't do her much justice. Shiho is still my fave, but her portrayal in the movie was rather...... bad. She's not supposed to be a bitch like that!

Don't forget the rotoscoping in the snack scene! Can't forget that unnecessary CGI! XP!
Maka:
The entire time I was watching the snack scene I was trying to figure out why it looked so weird. That's why, I guess?
I liked how Shiho and Kana made up a little but other than that... Honestly, they could have whittled down the ML cast to like 4 girls, especially since only a few of them even spoke (I can't even remember Anna talking at all).
ChocoCats:
Since that you guys mention the CGI as well, I will say that I'm not a fan of them, especially using them poorly. It's the main reason why I don't like Love Live and Pretty Rhythm, too.
