Synopsis

Despite performing as an idol group for three years, Idolls! has failed to make its mark on the entertainment world, only boasting a meager three fans. While the girls are venting their frustrations, a small wooden statue in their room suddenly starts speaking to them and convinces them to book a venue that seats one hundred fans. The only problem is that their performance is in just nine days! Now in a race against time, the girls must prove themselves worthy of stardom or face the harsh reality of failure.

After doing a bit of research on this series, I'm honestly okay with this show. According to Anime News Network, this series has the voice actors wearing motion capture tech and performing live. They're planning to take this idea and turn it into a VTuber Live Performance show for platforms like Youtube.

With that in mind, I don't mind this show. The idea of four idol girls working hard to get 100 people in their audience is not an original idea. Given the production mindset though, they're practicing this new idea and probably wanted to start with a simple idea just to see if this could ...

After the first episode of 'Idolls!', I honestly thought this was going to be terrible. But after getting used to the style, its actually a cute short series. Compared to other anime that made the Music genre in anime very unappealing to me (Actors Songs Connection), this was actually a relaxing watch inbetween darker anime.

Its a simple story about a group of four amateurs trying to become idols and giving it their mediocre all in doing so. They work hard, its just given what this anime has shown they could definitely work harder (advertise better as well), but they're still learning the steps. ...

This anime makes me think if writing a review for it is even worth it. It doesn't even feel like anime; it feels like a failed comedy gag that lasts for 5 mins.

Thank god each episode is only 5 mins long, with the OP&ED taking up the other 3 minutes.

Story (2) & Character (3):
If you're wondering, there is marginally a story. Four somewhat newbie idols are trying to fill a concert hall of 100 audiences in 10 days, with each episode describing a different part of their idol daily lives.
Annnnnnnd that's it. There's no build-up, no drama. The jokes fall flat and they're not really ...
