The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Anime Discussion
altuixde:
I think the ending scenario was a little forced, but not distractingly so.
Personally, I'm worried that Rin, Uzuki and Mio are going to fail during this opportunity, because it's way too early in the series for them to attain great success.
Nargrakhan:
Hmmm... thinking on it, I disagree.
My reasoning for this: from the background chatter in the episode, it seems the Cinderella Project had been on hold for awhile. To prove they have the talent and drive... as well as prove the Producer is as incredible scout for talent as he's supposed to be portrayed... Rin, Mio, and Uzuki need to hit the ground running. The fact that the trio were able to successfully pull off their PR shots, though it took a second try because of their nervousness, shows they've got the goods. The other 11 idols are insinuated to have done better... but they're also insinuated to have been with the company longer (and it might have not been their first PR shoot).
Basically they've been given a huge challenge... if they pass it, it will go a long way in furthering their futures... if they fail, it would be an excellent test of how they improve to never repeat the mistake or can handle the stress of failure.
Lots of high risk jobs do this kind of "in the crucible" type training -- the military, hospitals, and air traffic control for example. Being an idol, doesn't put lives in dangers... so it them having to do it isn't unrealistic. If you wanna be the best, you work like the best. 346 Pro doesn't strike me as a company that wants average (considering their like the settings version of an idol megacorp). Pushing the girls like this will prove if they deserve to be a Cinderella Girl.

Mika chose only the NG trio to backup her next live. I've been seeing reactions of this being way too forced and that this is all just A-1 trying to push NG into the spotlight and ignoring everyone else.

I thought it was quite odd. One explanation that I see is that Mika saw something in the new three that wasn't present in the existing stable. She had an opportunity to evaluate them during the photoshoot. However, the anime made no effort to explain what it was, if anything. It just happened.
If we look at, for instances, AKB0048, things like that were the norm. Understudies were often promoted out of order, when they demonstrated readiness. But it wasn't upon one look.
ChocoCats:
Here's the preview for Episode 3.
And already, card costume camoes (Mika's are new though) and Rookie Trainer is going to have a voice :P.

*squee* Mayu has those, I'm gonna kill every last one of you and no one will ever find the bodies, look in her eyes! How can anyone resist such loveliness?
Sachiko narration for the win! 8)
***EDIT***
They're really not wasting anytime getting those non-idol support characters more exposure.
Please give us some Staff-san! It would be really great to put a voice/face to the name. :)
On a side note... I'm hoping he's featured in the next batch of Master CD drama tracks. That's really the only time he gets to shine, and it kinda bothered me the Producer substituted him in the last set... though I suppose for Mayu it was kinda mandatory.
