The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Anime Discussion
ChocoCats:
According to someone on reddit, the venue that New Gen and LOVE LAIKA debuted in is based off a real life venue called the Ikebukuro Sunshine City Fountain Square. It's also where Kana had an accident on stage in the IDOLM@STER Movie.

Must be a pretty unlucky location for a similar incident to occur twice.

The first would be true character development, and the second would be OOC.

It doesn't have to be a definitive personality trait. Her expectations were built too high, and probably after a heart to heart talk with Mio, she won't set herself up for disappointment again. She doesn't have to throw a tantrum every time the concert crowd's too small.

It's not. iM@S has had READY!!, CHANGE!!!!, and Onegai! Cinderella single CD's all successfully debut here as mini lives and handshake events (with surprise appearances too!).

There's also this weird idea that they can become superstars over night... which is totally unrealistic. Just because I was the backup singer/dancer for a S+ Rank entertainer, doesn't make me an S+ Rank entertainer. Mio's ego needs to be put in check. She got lucky with that first break. Even if 345 gave her a real stadium concert, she doesn't have her own fan base (outside of her classmates). What she got was exposure to Mika's fan base. The company would have been forced to give tickets away for free, or have her tagged to an S+ Rank idol's performance, to fill the seats. She's supposed to earn her own success... not leech of another's.

He's secretive enough about his work that the girls can't tell what he's doing though, or else Miku wouldn't have had her outburst. He may be working hard, but they haven't gotten to see nearly any of the results of his work yet. Really, the only jobs the girls have had for themselves are some oddjobs and the NG+LL debut. As far as careers go, 765 (an agency with virtually no money) had a better debut than them and that was at a rural festival.
And Mio's drama makes a lot of sense to me. As a performer, everyone wants a great debut no matter what genre. Mio had only the background stage experience to rely on, so she expected there to be at least somewhat of a turn out. There were about eight people standing in front of the stage by the end of the performance, not including Mio's friends. Mio called everyone she knew, and probably expected to see some of the other girls' supporters too. She probably thought she would at least draw in some more people at the mall too, because that's part of being an idol. Seeing that turn out made her question not only her abilities as a leader, but as an idol. It was an embarrassing turn out for her, especially in front of her friends, and it really wasn't something the Producer could've avoided, especially after Mika's live.
Having been in similar shoes before, Mio's reaction after the live seems completely normal to me.

I was speaking more for adaptations since, as pointed out earlier, it is kind of an odd coincidence that Kana and Mio had similar incidents occur for them in the same location.
