I watched a Mv on YouTube I liked it and I know it has anime too I am not a fan of idol Animes but I was bored so I decided lets give it a try At first I thought it must be a reverse harem or your regular idol anime I watched first two episodes and it I liked it so I watched more and more episodes with each episode I loved this anime It was not a reverse harem and it was also not like other idol Animes Idol Animes are boring but this anime is an exception it is the Best idol anime Ever. Now whenever we talk about idol anime we will think of rainbow sunshine guys/girls singing and having fun. It is that to a certain point in Idolish7 but its lot more than that It focuses lot on behind the scenes The Dark side of entertainment industry and its not only sunshine and rainbow As you go further into the story they will show you more and more How they use and make people? How so many people use underhand tactics to totally remove another person out of the industry How they struggle to survive in the industry? They also shows fans a lot in the game shows their reactions passion and just them being there for the idols and its a nice touch. One of the biggest and most important of these things is how the narrative chooses to present the fans. Rather than limiting fan appearance to just crowd scenes at concerts i7 takes its time to show us fans on an individual level as we watch how the Ordinary Joes of the i7 universe take in the idols. We as players and viewers are privileged to know what goes on behind the scenes we know how much theyve struggled what kind of bullshit has been thrown their way and why they had to make the hard decisions they sometimes have to make. But regular fans know none of this and it can be personally sobering to watch how fans react because sometimes? Youve been that fan. Maybe youve been the fan thats disappointed when your fave makes a mistake. In terms of Narrative structure One of the most compelling things about Idolish7 Narrative is that the stakes and situations increase in scale along with the main characters fame and it comes from multiple sources its much more than just stronger rivals. The Characters all of the characters are So relatable they are unique each one of them as their own strength and weaknesses and all of them are so likeable Characters relationships also very realistic how they interact act their relationship with other people and they have not only individual development but also them as a group too This is the first anime where I like all characters All of them has a good character development Since all of the characters are relatable you will find at least one character which you can relate to For me the character I relate to most is Yuki both of us are similar in many ways There is lot of foreshadowing too in this anime so its not like things are happening out of nowhere there is lot of bulid up before that The Songs they are really good too I love all the songs Idol Animes have pretty average songs but Idolish7 has pretty good music I watched many Animes but never loved any anime as much as I love this one. Its now my No. 1 favorite anime I absolutely love and adore all of the characters So this anime is special and very close to my heart.
