The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Anime Discussion
Eab1990:
The entire point of Cute Jewelries 02 was Chieri trying to develop another image for herself, so at least she's trying to be a better idol.
There's also been a fair amount of 4komas about how she's growing into her cute bunny image, which also carried over to the drama CDs, seeing as how the clover-eating bunny joke has been mentioned a few times. Or how she's been in more variety shows lately, but has to persevere as an idol no matter how crazy it gets (which makes it all the more adorable at how overjoyed she gets when given the opportunity to try on a wedding dress).
So yeah, Chieri might be Yukiho 2.0, but she's not a flat character either. It's just really hard to fit those issues in with the rest of the group, probably. To be fair, they DID have one moment where she got to bond with Producer over her debut in the Nomake, but I haven't seen anything else since.

In contrast, Miku gets a ton of development because her issues affect the rest of the group. Hard work not paying off? Character gimmicks being discouraged? Miku is a pretty good postergirl for those.
As for the rest of Candy Island, Anzu is hard to develop without completely betraying her character. Bribing her with candy to do work, or convincing her to do work now so she doesn't have to do more work later works, but putting any more motivation beyond that stretches her gimmick out too far. As for Kanako, afaik, she really doesn't have anything beyond making sweets and being a "nice girl". At best, she's only just now starting to notice her own sex appeal (read: boobs) after being too busy always thinking she's fat, so she does start to advertise herself as the sexy symbol of Candy Island, but that just says enough on its own. It's kind of sad to say that her claim to fame is sex appeal and making sweets, but that's how it looks.

Watched this week's episode and it was really good. It gave lot's of focus to DEKoration and explored their personalities a little more (better than in season 1)
And Momoka stopped being the forgotten one as she finally got a voice in this episode, although I would have liked if Koharu and Mai also get voice actresses too xddd

Koharu was voiced here, if I'm not mistaken. Also DAMMIT, they voiced Momka! I was wondering how much longer they would keep this up, but I guess it had to end at some point.
Back to the actual episode, it finally solidified me actually really liking the Jougasaki Sisters and Miria as well. Gave each of them some level of depth and a common relation of "sister issues" that bring them all together. Really makes the characters feel more human and it's exactly what I want to see the rest of the show go through. Actually, this might be my favorite episode this entire season due to how well they handled the characters (and given this is A-1, this is a pretty good compliment).
Alright, all we really have left to flesh out is Candy Island, since everyone else had their time to shine and they're the only unit where everyone is still going "Who are you people?"
Vas:
Really liked this episode too. I wasn't really too big a fan of DEKoration nor too interested in most of the Passion girls but I definitely liked the "sister" character development between Rika, Mika, and Miria
One thing I'm glad they kinda phased out was the whole gloomy grey backdrops of the previous episodes. Understandably, the plot is still in the point of "Mishiro screws over 346 effect" but there wasn't as much background undertones that presented itself previously, which is nice in that hopefully the plot's gonna take a dramatic shift soon.

I think and hope that next week will be a Candy Island episode and yeah was happy for Kaoru voiced cameo too, but c'mon A1, give more love to cute idols, now there are too many passion idols with voice.
