Oh boy where do I even start with this one? This series is a mess realistically it deserves lower than a 5 definitely a 4 and maybe even a 3. The concept of the series is a joke one that could have been entertaining: in Japan there is something known as an idol dietwoman who serves both as a politician and an idol. Its certainly unique but at the same time I cant really think of anything that would have made it better than it was. Lets start with the things to its credit and why it earns a 5 despite being notably worse. The characters while nothing extraordinary are at least pretty fun. The main character Natsuki gives off genki vibes but she has just as many moments of airheadedness or clear flaws. Shes not exceedingly happy in all situations which especially in idol series usually just builds up to one breakdown that hits hard because were used to the complete opposite. On top of that some of the episodes were pretty entertaining. The opposing party to the Idol Dietwomen the Rougai Party continuously comes up with these random crazy plots to try and discredit the idols. The show doesnt have any cohesive plot for the most part showing the idols solving regular politican problems through the power of music. The songs are pretty good and while there isnt anything necessarily memorable about them they were at the very least a joy to listen to. As for the bad...well pretty much everything else. The animation is nothing to write home about and while it isnt necessarily horrible its not really good either. The characters can go from being gorgeous in one scene to looking jank or even stretched out in the next. The plot when the show tries to have one is all over the place. In the latter half they ramp up the opposing party thing with the Rougai party kicking up their tactics to the next level and veritably trying to shut down the idols rather than simply discredit them. Except that it really falls apart when it tries. Theres no logical conclusion the things that they do in the end should have been the things they did in the beginning. The series should have started near where it ended and built the rest of the series off of that rather than have 8 episodes of completely unrelated stuff. Oh wait we have a story now. The series has too many characters and doesnt really give the time to build any of them up...and sadly this ends up afflicting the main cast as well. Theres very little in the way of development for the main characters which makes the progression even less believable. Overall the series is a chaotic mess. It might appeal to people who dont value a cohesive plot as much as I do but even then the individual episodes dont really give as much satisfaction as other plotless shows might. I wouldnt really call it a complete waste of time to invest the time into watching it as it does have some good moments here and there. I just feel like that time would also really be better spent on something else. The ED is pretty lit though.https://www..com/watch?v=uSgDRsjLnes
