The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Anime Discussion

For that whole thing with Mio, I think they could have handled it better. I know she's only 15, but so was Miki and although she was still in the wrong, her reason was more justifiable. She was given false hopes for like 6 episodes that she could get into RK, only to be shot down after working so hard.

This is exactly why I feel Cinderella girls has really dropped the ball on writing; specifically its pacing. Miki actually had foreshadowing, and while she also got criticized by the fandom, she at least had proper motivations for doing so that was in character. I'm really hating that im@s can't seem to come up with a better plot line than "I just can't be an idol anymore *dramatic crying*" when it's much more exciting to show failure as a deep emotional impact or as some sort of trauma to get over. Not just another lame all-or-nothing last straw that comes out of nowhere :/
--- Quote ---I actually felt the same towards Ritsuko in the first one. I already didn't like her initially, then she forms RK, leaving all our other idols behind in the dust which really upset me.(just imagining how jealous the others all must've been, especially when they were watching their Smoky Thrill debut while trying to be happy for their fellow idols, was painful) Though it did give them a goal to strive for and made their journey more endearing, it still took me a long time to get over it and to actually start liking Ritsuko. Prolly gonna be the same with Mio as well. Eh, blame the anime lol.

Ritsuko defense mode ACTIVATE!!! While I can see where you're coming from, I feel like that wasn't the intention with Ritsuko at all. It's been awhile but I had the impression that Ritsuko was always supposed to be focused on a single group whereas the Producer was going to be in charge of all the idols individually. Ritsuko was never supposed to be producing ALL of them, and even if it started out that way, she ended up going a different path and Producer was hired to replace her. Besides, it seems weird that a 19 year old would be in charge of the entire 13 idols. But that might just be me.
Maka:
The way I read it, producing a small group like RK was Ritsuko's dream? Correct me if I'm wrong, but she always wanted to produce a few girls, not all of them.
I do agree with the series needing broader forms of drama than "*messes up and doubts self* i am quit idol :(". Episode 13 and Minami's collapse felt very natural and not forced to me, especially since it was foreshadowed but also surprising. I hope the drama in the second season is more the latter than the former.
Wake Up Girls did a TON of things wrong, but it had drama like corrupt entertainment bigwigs and gross fans, monetary issues, family problems, injuries, and scandals/trolls and hateblogs on the Internet, so it wasn't picking from the same pool over and over again. the problem is when you cram all of that into a 13 episode anime.......

Just to prove how good the new producer is (in other words, how good we are ;D )
Nayre:
Aye, I agree with what you all said regarding Ritsuko. I was merely expressing how I felt when I first watched the anime, not knowing anything about the franchise back then. But having rewatched the series a few times, I know now that's not the case.

Hmmm...Since the CG anime seems to be following the same pattern as the original so far, I wonder if that means Rin and Uzuki will receive the same kind of character development as Chihaya and Haruka? Oh man, I don't think I'll be able to handle seeing Uzuki's tears. Please gawd no. :(
