I really like the chemistry between the characters while theyre doing the talkshow at the end of every episode. It feels pretty realistic and it makes the characters likeable. It also balanced out the otherwise pretty cliche storyline of the show. The animation is average, nothing special in my eyes, but nothing looks off, so that's good. The colouring consistency however could have been better, they can't seem to decide whether Shinji's eyes are purple or grey, for one. But also between the 2D and 3D sections, the haircolours don't seem to stay consistent enough. I do however really like how the concerts are animated, the colours are nice and the faces are really nicely done. They've really mastered the 'Idol-like' expressions, haha. The dances.. Not great. It seems to be getting better throughout the series, but still, it either looks like the moves are going absolutely nowhere, or they're so simple that it's not even remotely believable that these characters are meant to be dancers. I wouldn't say that this show has a lot of quality to it, but I do find it very enjoyable. If you like idol shows it's definitely worth a watch. The music is better than in most other Idol anime I've watched. I'd actually listen to these songs in my free time. 8 of 10 episodes seen
Honestly all i have to say for it is that it's good. It a pretty solid idol anime, and if you're someone into idol anime you'll like this. I will say i enjoy the music, not necessarily because i find it good but because it's relatively fun and catchy ( altho i feel the same about the songs in other idol anime ). Story wise it isn't deep. The characters have cliche backstories, but it's done well and fun to watch. ARP actually got me into idol anime. Before this i never got into that, but after enjoying this i started watching a bunch of other idol anime which were surprisingly fun. ARP has decent animation. It's not very high quality but it's not too bad either, and the performances are pretty well done imo. The dancing looks very smooth and not awkward. My favourite part of the episodes is the banter they have at the end, it makes me feel like i'm watching a bunch of real idols reminiscing their pasts and how they got to where they are and commenting on it. Ignore the GGAAAYY comments and give the anime a try. It has likable characters, fun songs, decent art, well done stories and is just fun to watch. Though it is pretty subjective so don't have your expectations too high. 10 of 10 episodes seen
ARP known as Artists Republic Performers..or Augmented Reality Performers(?) are a group of AR idols, mainly known for their 'battle system' which essentially makes all performances like a competition. AR idols aren't necessarily a new innovation, you have some like vocaloids or VTuber idols who also use AR technology to generate a fictional 3D character and perform on stage. The main thing to note at the end of the day, is that this is nothing more than a promotional show for this group Story: The main gist of the story is pretty much backstories towards the creation of some of the group's songs that were in their debut album, A'LIVE. In the beginning we get introduced to each of the characters and their persona's, and then we get insight into the 'development' of how some of their songs came to life. At the end of each episode is a short little segment featuring the actual idols themselves, where they usually just talk about what happened in the ep (i.e., their 'opinions') and the preview for the next one Now most of these episodes have similar formats to them, with some proposition, some endless drama and then it all resolves on the grand battle stage where they pour their hearts out or whatever. Some of the drama I will admit seemed rather silly and maybe even overstretched, but it still had a lot of the 'overcoming challenges together' themes that are prevalent in idol shows Art: Art is a weird one in this show. Generally speaking the art and animation are absolute dogshit, but when it comes to their performances where they switch to 3D, it suddenly becomes amazing. I've seen a lot of CGI idol performances but these ones take the cake Sound: Mixed bag really. General voice acting was better in some characters (Shinji) than others (Rage). OST was pretty much nonexistent. The songs themselves though, they were amazing. It's actually the only idol group I've seen where I genuinely enjoyed listening to their songs, and even went ahead and got some of them. They have a wide range of genres too, ranging from more rock based to more funk/hip hop. The OP and ED's were absolutely great as well. Characters: Being idol persona's, you can expect each character to have their own attached personality to them. Well this show really sticks with those personalities Shinji - The charming prince/white knight who will princess carry you wherever you want to go. He's usually the most mature out of the group and is generally regarded as the leader of it Rage - A-grade tsundere. Honestly he's probably going to be the least liked character in the series only because he has quite a few moments where he's just an absolute dickhead. Still though, those tsun moments where he shows his nice side are pretty good Daiya - The hip hop dude. Pretty much the controller of Rage, Leon - The one foreign exchange dude who's there for muh diversity. In seriousness though, Leon is the 'don't care just wanna dance' type of character, and his overall positivity can grow on you Overall the characters I found to have some good and bad moments. There are times where they seem pretty awkward together, and times where they actually are pretty funny together Enjoyment: I won't say I really enjoyed this show if it wasn't for the songs. At the end of the day, this show was made to promote said songs and the group as a whole, so I'd say it worked pretty well towards me. Overall though, if you're looking for something with a serious story, or one of the many idol shows that copy-paste things like nakama power and whatnot, then you might not find this enjoyable |
