But how that they make Anastasiya use Russian first and then re-say things is just utterly unbearable. Nobody does that. It's retarded. Poor Sumipe has to voice it all out. I hope she's paid well enough.

Did anyone notice that animation goes really broken all the time, especially in the faces? In some places the distance between eyes changes. CG, hah. I wish it were CG, at least the computer would render the model correctly and consistently. Well, actually, I don't. I hate CG. Still, with result like that, no wonder CG is advancing.

I can't stand how she re-says things. It's so stupid. Literally no one does that.

As for their faces, simply put, we must go wider. We won't stop until it's Madoka level wide.

..... Really? I never found that to be an issue for three reasons.

1. I actually DO know people that tend to do that. In fact, quite a number of people in my culture do this.

2. Anya is learning Japanese. It does make sense for her to say a phrase she wants to translate and then say it in Japanese. In fact, she asks NG and Minami if her Japanese is fine.

3. Its probably for the Japanese audience, since I'm pretty sure not a lot of Japanese people know the Russian language and Anya might be a character that can open up spme audiences to a new language.

As for CGI, keep that away from my iM@S, please. A-1 at least has the decency to legitimately hand-draw their dance sequences entirely unlike other anime I've seen with lots of motion that resort to CGI (*cough*LoveLive*cough*KanColle*cough*).

I'm probably going to keep watching it anyway, but the animation / art really bothers me. The inconsistencies in animation are really glaring and remind me of the new Sailor Moon's messiness.

... Sailor Moon has it worse. Much worse. Episode 3 doesn't even come close.

I can't stand how she re-says things. It's so stupid. Literally no one does that.

The reason it's awkward (to me) is it comes across like she forgets she has to speak Japanese in Japan. If it came across like she were thinking out loud to herself, it wouldn't feel so unnatural.

If she said some quick things in Russian where you could figure out what she was saying without a translation, that would be okay too. You ask her a question, she nods and says, "Da." She walks into a room, waves, and says... whatever hello is in Russian. You don't need a translation for that, most people can figure it out without being told.

By the way, I've decided I don't like Daisuki subs.

I have two friends from Saudi Arabia and when I first met them and they were less fluent with English than they are now and they used to accidentally say things in arabic and then re-say them in english. In fact they still do it from time to time, but not as much. So you can't really say "literally no one does that".

I can see that happening when a person is put on the spot, but Anya literally has several seconds at least before every such occurence. And certainly not when stock phrases are involved.

I know that I degenerate to Russian in places, but only if I'm dead tired or under some other duress.

Episode 4 proves an undeniable proof: Ranko is love.

RANKO IS LOVE!!!

Minami partially understands Ranko-speak! And Mio reveals her nickname for our favorite gothic idol. Huzzah!

Anya with pompoms was absolutely adorable. Classic Anzu tricking the others to leave the room and locking the door.

Yet again, the Producer showed emotion. He gave a slight chuckle at the New Generation realizing they forgot to film themselves.
I think there's more to him being so stoic than the surface reveals. It's like something in the past made him become so emotionless...

Also... never enough Chihiro Senkawa.

Kinda bothered this series is being treated more like New Generation the Anime, more than an actual Cinderella Girls. Maybe next episode will break away from them, and focus on Minami and Anastasia being an official unit. Not saying I don't like the NG's... I really do... but the show should really start giving us more of the others.

Especially Ranko. MOAR RANKO PLZ!!!

I'm surprised at how charming the NG trio is, honestly. Especially since I really disliked them initially.

My one complaint is that they're kind of. Just getting everything super easily? I guess the 765 girls had CDS out and were giving concerts before the anime even started (Haruka handing out Taiyou no Jealousy and Chihaya having a tiny concert), but...

Overall, this was kind of a filler episode, but it was a filler episode worth watching. I actually laughed out loud at Anzu scurrying away from Kirari during the Kirazilla moment. And Anya's adorable as ever. I was kind of bummed that there wasn't an insert song or special ending like the 2011 anime did, but whatever.

Personally I can't wait for the character-focused episodes to come out. I honestly loved them in the original iM@S anime even if the character balance was pretty off.
Also the new producer is awesome, so glad they went with him =P

Emphasis to Russian pompoms:



"I'm Anastasia. Papa is Russian and Mama is Japanese. I like looking at the stars."

God, this heart of mine sometimes. Proposed lingual fallacies be damned, it's 911 right on speed dial for me~.

I actually laughed out loud at Anzu scurrying away from Kirari during the Kirazilla moment.

Anzu wouldn't last a day in the norm, especially having went as far as locking everyone out afterwards. How the hell did she get scouted, anyway? As an aside, fillers are good for character development so it's a way to ease things down, namely with the amount of jobs the NG trio happens to get. But more to the upside, Anya-Minami duo unit!

Episode 4 proves an undeniable proof: Ranko is love.

... Ranko is life? :P

She definitely had exposure this time around -- those theatrics pretty much leave Takane to shame. Now I'm half-expecting her to don a frogsuit, given the Godzilla thing. :3
Suddenly, bow-wow-wow~. :3

CG does a wonderful job of showing not telling so far and the anime feels like an actual idol anime. Not meaningless substories shoved in our faces about what certain characters are supposed to be like. anim@s, you're guilty and you know it

I like it.

Still felt a little whirlwindy to me, trying to introduce a bunch of characters (again), but it looks like character episodes are next.

I'm a little afraid they chose too many characters to focus on, but then it's Cinderella Girls. If they've got 14 idols in the foreground, I'd want this to be a 26 episode series...

With each passing episode it feels more and more like NG anime where all other characters (including the Producer) are simply background! :( >:(  In addition I have a feeling that Minami and Anastasia won't get their separate episodes because they are an unit! :(

No one's story was meaningless! "Certain characters"? Whom do you mean?

If they've got 14 idols in the foreground, I'd want this to be a 26 episode series...

D-Don't tell me it may have only 12-13 episodes!  :o  Th-This is not an option! 13-episode format will kill Derem@s!

This episode gave me another chance to learn their names, so I liked that.

tbh I expected Rika's voice to sound something more like Akane's

Its a trend in iM@S where the main trio upstages everyone else in anime. Namassuka did this too where they got the bulk of Anim@s' storytelling whereas everyone else wpuld wish they had such glorious screentime. At the very least, the characters in the sidelines are doing more here than in Anim@s so far.

No one's story was meaningless! "Certain characters"? Whom do you mean?

Technically, Hibiki didn't get an episode in EP16, due to being hijacked by Kuroi.
