comment
The iDOLM@STER is the second TV series based on the video game series of the same name. It was produced by A-1 Pictures and aired through the summer and fall of 2011.The anime follows the exploits of an unnamed rookie Producer starting work at 765 Productions, a struggling talent company that manages Idol Singers. He immediately gets thrown in at the deep end by being assigned twelve aspiring idols, each with their own particular talents, personalities and ambitions. It will be a long and tough road to stardom, but by spending time with his charges and bonding with them, the Producer stands the best chance of learning what makes each girl tick and where their strengths truly lie.The series wrapped up in 2013 with a movie, Beyond the Brilliant Future!, which covers them gearing up for their largest performance yet while dealing with newbie backup dancers. A novel was written to bridge the time between the show and the movie.In 2017, a prequel manga set in the anime's continuity started seeing serialization. Ayasake no Koganeiro: THE iDOLM@STER takes a much needed look into the backstories of President Takagi, Kuroi, and Kotori. The manga ran in Comic REX from 2012 to 2016.For a time, the entire series was legally available to watch on Crunchyroll until 2021.For the history of the original game and the franchise, see The iDOLM@STER.For the first anime, an Elseworld Real Robot story largely unrelated to the source material, see Idolmaster: Xenoglossia.For other anime set in the same universe, see THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls, THE iDOLM@STER: SideM, and The Idolmaster Million Live.

They also are shown in one of the shots of episode 18's ending, and on episode 25 during an interview with Yoshizawa. The last moment also features Manami, Ai and Ryo's manager. The movie's credits give cameos to New Generations members Uzuki, Rin, and Mio.

Poor Communication Kills
 The iDOLM@STER / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: The Producer to Miki in episode 6 setting the chain of events that almost made her quit for good in episode 12. To elaborate, the only reason why she put any effort into her idol work is because he had offhandedly said she could join Ryuugu Komachi if she kept up with everyone; so when Miki went to Ritsuko and inevitably found out she wouldn't join, she gets mad and walks out. To be fair, he was in the middle of what seemed to be an important phone call, and the fact that Miki kept talking to him despite it, probably didn't help.

Stealth Pun: In episode 5, there's a scene where Azusa and The Producer are drinking, while Ritsuko is there too but doesn't drink. As The Producer and Ritsuko converse, one can hear the tipsy Azusa going "Neko neko nyan nyan~ Neko nyan nyan~" in the background. Doesn't that make her Azunyan? It seems to be a song that Azusa likes personally. In the Puchimasu subseries, she can be heard humming the same thing while going for work. "Kitty kitty meow meow~"

Mythology Gag
 The iDOLM@STER / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: During the Sleep Cute shot in episode 13, Hibiki, Miki, and Takane are seen sleeping next to each other. In SP (which takes place in the 1ST VISION timeline), they were the members of 961's rival unit Project Fairy. The second OP even lines them up with the "donna rival datte" lyrics of "CHANGE!!". Mujin Gattai Kisaragi. The idols piloting giant robots — where have we heard that before? In episode 26, Ami and Mami remark about how the Producer has gone to America. He shows up shortly after, although he actually does go to America in the Good or True endings of The iDOLM@STER 2. The Producer actually decides to study in America in the movie. The "Chihaya vs. the Karaoke Machine" scene is a reference to an incident in the production of the game. When Asami Imai was recording "Ohayou! Asagohan", she sang it in a more natural/classical style, which the staff didn't think matched the mood of the song. They kept telling her to make it more staccato, and the result led to the Robo-Chihaya meme. Cue this scene, with the machine standing in for the staff. Iori and Makoto tell Yukiho to shut up in episode 10 the same way Haruka and Iori do it on the song "Danketsu". Episode 12: "Your visual stat increased!" "Mako-mako-rin" originated from the drama track of the MASTER LIVE 02 CD. Episode 14 gives a nod to the iM@S spin-off series Petit iDOLM@STER, with Chihyah, Haruka-san, Makochii, and Yayo trinkets.

comment
Bland-Name Product: In the first episode, we see Makoto trying to read a LaLaLa magazine. Miki has "Somy" headphones and the idol track meet has an "Aniprex" banner. Which is weird, since A-1 Pictures and Aniplex are both Sony subsidiaries, meaning they made a Bland Name Product for their own company. Chihaya lives near a Burger Queen. The camera Yoshizawa uses is a Qanon. The billboard announces a Tricster. There's a PSB in the office in episode 17. The "Ramen Nijuurou" featured in Episode 14 is a bland-name twin of the (in)famous Ramen Jirol. Makoto has an advertisement for a Pocari Sweat knockoff, Porari Sweat.

Theme Music Power-Up: The relay race in episode 10 with "L.O.B.M." playing. A few of the events of the race played exactly timed with the changes in the song rhythm to added effect, such as Hibiki's initial burst, Iori encouraging Yayoi to keep running, Makoto's overtakes and Yayoi cheering/begging Makoto to win. Interesting enough is that L.O.B.M. means Love Organized Boost Music.

Kick the Dog: Kuroi kicked hard when he sent Paparazzi to slander Chihaya about her Dark and Troubled Past, traumatizing her for life and showing zero regret for it. Even the Jupiter trio do not approve. This is seen as a Moral Event Horizon both in-universe (especially for Jupiter) and out, since the previous iterations of Kuroi were at best high-class Jerkasses and never tried emotional warfare like this.

Butt-Monkey: The Producer. Not a very strong example, especially considering how straight it's played for his P-headed counterpart in Petit iDOLM@STER, but still the focus of a good part of the laughs, and implied to be more so off screen. Referenced in-universe when, as part of a scavenger hunt, Makoto and Iori need to find the one made fun of at the office the most, and they grab the Producer.

A Friend in Need: Central part of the plot for the whole show, more visible during some characters' Heroic BSODs: Episode 20 has Haruka support Chihaya through her magazine scandal, eventually singing with her when she freezes up during her cmeback solo. Chihaya returns the favor in episode 24, when Haruka breaks down after the stress of everyone's careers drifting them away from each other gets to her. Chihaya is the one who starts gathering everybody together, and eventually they all come to support Haruka.

Tears of Joy: Several throughout the anime. Episode 10 - Yayoi holding the trophy they won during the competition at the end. Episode 13 - When the girls manage to buy enough time for RGKM to get to the concert hall. Episode 20 - Chihaya coming to terms with her past, and Ritsuko on the moment she hears Chihaya's singing again. Episode 22 - Yukiho upon receiving "Happy Birthday" wishes from the other girls.

Tabloid Melodrama: Kuroi and Episode 19's shady connection try to catch Takane in compromising circumstances to stir up trouble for 765. Luckily for them they catch Takane having lunch with an older man, who turns out to be the president of the established music publisher Elder Records. Kuroi planned to spin the encounter into a rumor that Takane had plans to leave 765 for Elder—a rumor that even the 765 girls consider, due to how secretive Takane is most of the time.

 The iDOLM@STER / int_566f1565
comment
10-Minute Retirement: Miki stops showing up when she finds out she's not going to get into Ryuuguu Komachi. The Producer does make sure to get her back, though. Later, Chihaya stops coming after her tragic past is revealed by Kuroi, causing her to lose her voice. It takes the whole crew at 765 Pro to finally help her out. Then later still, Haruka taking several days off as a result of her Heroic BSoD after the producer gets injured saving her life. Like Chihaya, the rest of 765 Pro help her out, however she also gets "help" from her subconsious self.

Limited Social Circle: The girls aren't shown to have many friends outside their 765PRO ones. The only one with a named friend is Azusa, and even then, Tomomi is never shown (or voiced for that matter). To be fair, at least Haruka was shown in episode 11 eating lunch with her classmates in the ending sequence, but they never appear in the main show.

Game-Breaking Injury: Narrowly averted in Episode 10. Makoto's fall during the three-legged borrowing race sprains her knee and puts her at risk of skipping the final relay race. She ultimately does participate, but she's noted to be in pain from the injury. Azusa gets the mumps a few days before a RGKM secret live in episode 18. Ritsuko is forced to come out of idol retirement to take her place.

Heroic Sacrifice
 The iDOLM@STER / int_6439de78

Episode 23 shows the Producer getting in an accident trying to save Haruka. To make matters worse, there is no character ending theme. Nothing. Just a sad piano playing during the credits. There's even a shot of Miki, Kotori, Ritsuko, and the president at the hospital. This entire sequence makes it the darkest moment in the entire show. The preview to the next episode is even more unsettling. Fortunately, despite Haruka falling into a Heroic BSoD in episode 24, the whole situation eventually gets resolved within the episode in a two-pronged way: the power of True Companions when the rest of the 765 girls realize what Haruka was feeling, and Haruka's subconsious younger self getting her back on her feet.

Her Heart Will Go On

comment
There's another one from episode 26, a romantic movie about a girl finally getting married that starred Azusa. It ended with a happy but tearjerking end, but ironically used "Tonari ni" as the main theme. A handful of fans argued further that this is a shout-out to a semi-famous fanmade video, 3A07, based on some stylistic similarities.

Accidental Discovery

Accidental Discovery: Of all the plans Kuroi enacted to discredit 765 Productions, the one that actually worked was the one he didn't know about at all. The papparazzi he hires to make a scandal out of Takane accidentally discovers Chihaya visiting her brother's grave and encountering her mother, and only takes a picture to have around. While the Takane situation was quickly diffused, this picture gets doubled down on after Kuroi asks about it, resulting in a smear campaign painting Chihaya as a walking remorseless jinx who was solely responsible for Yuu's death, which makes her so traumatized she loses her ability to sing.

And the Adventure Continues: The characters keep stressing that even though 765 Pro is a huge success, this is only the beginning for them. Plus, they're financially back at square zero after getting scammed by Kuroi, who looks like he'll continue to be petty going by his maniacal laughter in his last scene. The ending sequence of Episode 25 also teases the ongoing stories of the 876 idols and Jupiter, showing that there's more idols around who have stories to share. Jupiter especially will get their spotlight, albeit half a decade after this anime.

invokedReality Subtext: The dramatic and heartrending performance that lands Haruka the leading role in a musical was brought on by her building stress over 765's increasingly busy schedules, the time they have together being cut short by business, their lack of synergy for their upcoming second major concert, and the Producer being hospitalized by taking a fall that would have injured her. The lines she's given to practice with are nearly beat for beat her thoughts during this tumultuous time.

Wham Episode
 The iDOLM@STER / int_8e20979
comment
Wham Episode: Episode 19, which marks the point at which the show stops subtly flirting with drama and decides to go for the kill. The preview for episode 20 makes it very clear that the tone of the story has changed completely. Episode 23 shows the Producer getting in an accident trying to save Haruka. To make matters worse, there is no character ending theme. Nothing. Just a sad piano playing during the credits. There's even a shot of Miki, Kotori, Ritsuko, and the president at the hospital. This entire sequence makes it the darkest moment in the entire show. The preview to the next episode is even more unsettling. Fortunately, despite Haruka falling into a Heroic BSoD in episode 24, the whole situation eventually gets resolved within the episode in a two-pronged way: the power of True Companions when the rest of the 765 girls realize what Haruka was feeling, and Haruka's subconsious younger self getting her back on her feet.

Adaptational Romance Downgrade: The romantic relationship between the Producer and the Idols. The group only have a professional if still close relationship with any romance from the girls being very low-key. The sole exception comes from Miki who still ends up falling for the Producer. Though, he doesn't reciprocate.

Foreshadowing: "Aoi Tori", used as the fourth episode's ending song, basically calls to Chihaya's backstory. Lines such as "I won't forget you" and "we can't go back to the way we were", as well as the sad imagery, hint at this; it all heavily implies that the song is addressed to her late brother.

Adults Are Useless: Averted. While the Producer isn't always able to help, he always goes out of his way to do what he can, from dropping everything in the middle of the night to help look for Yayoi's brother, to taking a potentially fatal fall for Haruka. Most issues are resolved with the assistance of his advice, and when Haruka's attempt to voice her concerns gets interrupted, the Producer does not let her get away with pretending it was nothing. Even the eccentric President manages to use his influence to help with things from time to time, and his journalist friend is invaluable in getting their name out there. Kotori isn't focused on too much, but she runs the office by herself a lot and is clearly important to the team.

Everyone Has Standards: While Touma may look down on the idols of 765, he was clearly disgusted by Kuroi's underhanded tactics of sending a Paparazzi at Takane. Later, all of the Jupiter boys become even more disgusted when they learn Kuroi uncovering Chihaya's tragic past and slandering her in a magazine. They finally called it quits once they learn that Kuroi is trying to sabotage the 765 Pro again. To be fair, the only reason Touma acted the way he did in the first place was because of Kuroi deceiving him and the other two members of Jupiter into thinking that 765 was using underhanded tactics to achieve their popularity, while remaining oblivious to those used by his boss.

She unconsciously starts pouring these feelings into her audition for the beaten-down lead in a musical and ends up getting the part.

Show Within a Show: Ribbit Ribbit Kitchen from episode 4 is a frog-themed cooking show on Frog TV. Episode 9 showed the filming of Beautiful Sisters Detectives, mentioned above in Murder Mystery. Episode 15's "Live?! On Sundays" is a variety show hosted by all of 765's idols. Inside that show, we get Mujin Gattai Kisaragi. Episode 26 brought back "Live?! On Sundays", plus a trailer for a mafia flick (a homage to Battles Without Honor and Humanity, of all things). There's another one from episode 26, a romantic movie about a girl finally getting married that starred Azusa. It ended with a happy but tearjerking end, but ironically used "Tonari ni" as the main theme. A handful of fans argued further that this is a shout-out to a semi-famous fanmade video, 3A07, based on some stylistic similarities.

Magic Skirt: Despite all the dance routines, there's not a single Panty Shot during the whole show. Maybe justified since the stage outfits are stage outfits and therefore made to be this way. The only time this is almost averted is with Azusa in episode 15 when she's wearing the same clothes as the workers from the daycare center they're filming at.

Hoist by His Own Petard
 The iDOLM@STER / int_d397657d
comment
Hoist by His Own Petard: President Kuroi convinces the audio technician from the Idol Jam to conveniently forget where he put the CD with the 765PRO idols songs. This comes back to bite him in the rear, when Chihaya starts to sing "Nemuri Hime" in a cappella, making the tech (and the crowd) be so moved by the scene that he restarts the audio in the next chorus, effectively creating a greater effect on the public than it would be if she had just started singing normally. Also, this little stunt was the last straw for his own group of idols who didn't want to keep up with his crap anymore, and quit his company before "Nemuri Hime" even ended.

Red Herring: The Producer's lines in the first episode aren't voiced, leading us to believe that the adaptation of the game would be a literal adaptation.

Ship Tease: A good portion of the second half of the anime has this with several of the girls, particularly when the girl is the focus of the episode. Also, Haruka and Touma have a little bit after the former's animosity towards 765 gives way.

A Taste of Their Own Medicine: When Azusa comes down with the mumps days before a Ryuugu Komachi conert, Ritsuko is pulled in to take her place. After gaining a reputation as a demon of a dance instructor from Iori and Mami, Ritsuko gets put through their strict training regimen and can't stand it, much to the other two girls' delight.

Male Gaze: In-universe. The cameraman on Ribbit Ribbit Kitchen always films at the foot of where Haruka falls. "Where is he aiming?" indeed. Chihaya is the one person to speak up about it, but her outburst is quickly brushed aside and the cameramen double down on the service shots.

We Need a Distraction: When Rryuugu Komachi is stuck in a typhoon on the day of the big 765 concert, the rest of the girls are told to extend their set until they arrive. It takes quite a bit of last-minute revisions to do, but ultimately they pull it off.

Silent Credits: While even the most serious of episodes usually gets a theme sung by the 765 idols, Episode 23's are completely black and only have a somber melody playing, to not take away from the tragedy of the Producer being hospitalized.

Series Fauxnale: Episode 25 would be the last episode in any other story—the girls' major concert goes off without a hitch, the Producer is there to see his idols take off, call-backs abound pepper the speeches of the girls, and important recurring characters get their last cameos in before the end. It wraps up all remaining plot threads from the previous episodes too, but regardless, one more episode came afterwards, followed by a movie and eventually SideM for how Jupiter turned out.

 The iDOLM@STER / int_faece9aa

The Power of Friendship: A major theme throughout the show. Best exemplified through Chihaya losing her voice after the Paparazzi incident; with a lot of convincing, Haruka's no-holds-barred support, and the rest of 765 singing with her to maker feel less guilt, Chihaya is able to find her voice again and move forward from her dark past. She even states in a later episode that this incident helped her realize how much she considered 765 family.
