| This episode may the one that I will closest to my heart in this whole season. An Ichihara Nina episode this early, was a blessing. If didn't had used Nina's image song after dropping parts of the lyrics early in the episode, would be so wrong. Nina backstory is just sad, and when you connect that, to the why her personality is a sunshine, is depressing. |
 |
| this was vastly different from the manga, so i guess this whole season is gonna be not a 1:1 adaptation which is nice, i cant get enough of the U149 manga so having more and different aproaches is nice |
 |
| Anyone else tries to scrobble from this series with panoscrobbler? I kinda fail it all teh time. |

Also the way Nina stepping out of her comfort zone was very wholesome, nice episode!  |
| Nina is drawn so cute and energic. I start wondering if theres alot of animators who worked on this ep are producers of Nina. |
| Need an anime with Shiki and Frederica as the main characters. |
| Nina has always been a blessing for this franchise. Kuno's iconic voice for her just makes Nina all the more adorable and lifelike. Definitely blessed having such an early Nina episode. Glad they're each character's "main" song as the ED. Nina's was always fantastic, and some of the other girls have great ones too. Just like the manga this is going to be a super fun ride. |
 |
| This Nina focused episode was a great way to keep the cuteness rolling, her VA really does a good job at making her hyper adorable. It was sad seeing the most high energy girl there get brought down by losing her kigurumi and revealing her lonely backstory, but she had hell of a day looking for the kigurumi and producer lad said some great things that brought her energy back, very wholesome way to end Nina’s little arc. This episode also really felt like a CGDCT SoL to me, really love those vibes. I also like the addition of the two mischievous girls that were trying to return the kigurumi, they were both really silly and fun, they actually really fit to be “villains” for kids like this lol. And the songs in this episode were nice, the insert and the ED were both very cute and catchy sounding, I’m wondering if we’ll get a new ED every episode or not, I wouldn’t be against that but I hope that isn’t the last we see of the one from the first episode because I really loved that one. And the OP was very good as well, definitely reminiscent of some Love Live ones since I don’t have any previous Idolmaster shows as reference lol. |
| Everyone hail down Klee!! Whoops, I mean Nina. This episode come unexpected to me, I didn’t expected so fast a episode focused in Nina which explains why is she wearing those fluffy clothes always, plus the insert MV of her character song was beautiful and I just can’t get enough of Misaki Kuno’s voice. I hope all the other U149 girls have episodes focused in them too, then I’ll be waiting for Momoka-chama and Miria. Lastly, appearance of Shiki and Frederica (Cough cough, the good doujin girls, cough) was unexpected, I have a huge wishlist of the other Cinderella Girls which I’d love to see but I’ll leave that to the time. |
 |
| oh man I like Nina's character but god damn the older idol is annoying Acting goofy in a comedy anime is ok but doing it in a show with real world setting is pissing me off. they know the owner is someone from the kid idol yet when they're in the kid agency and no one is there, their first next move isn't calling the kid's producer. i get why they're doing that, to prolong the episode. but geez it grinds my gear |

| Overall very cute episode, it was nice to see Arisu receiving some development as well. Also, love the ED, very cute. |

| bruh i wasn't expecting Shiki and Frederica to actually show up let alone this soon these two goofballs need their own damn anime decent episode aside the cameos i can never get over my dislike for Nina's VA or else i might enjoyed her character more |
 |
| I guess this episode decided it, Nina is my favorite character, so energetic and adorable. |
| Uoooogh nina 😭😭😭. Great episode and animation absolutely loved it. Will definitely continuing loving it if they adapt it that well. |

| Two episodes in, and all I can say is that the cinematography is great in this series. It feels like the anime is shot with soft lens; giving it that look you get from watching anime movie in theatres 20 years ago. The shot composition helps in dialing that cinema feeling as well. Edit: One more thing to add... I just noticed that the anime is composed as if a real camera is on set. That slight unstable motion of recording, the grainy effects, and also the way the scenes were shot are similar to how scenes are shot in real life. |

| HAHAHAHA!!! FBI alert FBI alert O_O O_o o_O haha pedobear seal of approval lolz joke anywayz Nina Ichihara is sooooo adorbz!!! nuff'said! the ED song is very catchy! Simon approves! lolz 5/5. |
 |
| Nina is too cute, and this episode almost made me tear up. As a side note, Oshi no ko has ruined idol anime for me. I couldn't get that gut wrenching feeling out of my mind this whole episode. |
 |
| As a long-time deresute player, this episode was brilliant! I love how they chose to use kimi ni ippai as an insert song, a classic and it fits so well with the mood. The ending is Nina's solo as one may expect. I wonder if we''ll get to see the solo for each of the girls for the next episodes. CocoaGalaxy said: I was actually kind of confused, because when nina was saying nina I kept thinking she was saying minna I think the ED is slightly better, but the op seems pretty good as well. Its kind of weird how they skipped over most of the photoshoot. But we still get to see momoka o.o young characters in anime often talk about themselves in 3rd person. Miria, Chie and Kaoru also talk about themselves using their first name. This makes them sound even cuter. The ending for this episode is Nina's solo performance. If you like the ending, you'll love he performance in the game, really adorable. It makes sense that they would skip most of the photo shoot due to time constraint. Instead, they chose to focus on Nina (the main heroine for this episode) and Momoka (among them, she's probably one of the more popular in the idolmaster CG fandom) |

| Great Nina focused episode with a cameo of shiki and frederica. I love how they are doing this, they way they are focusing on a new girl each episode while bringing in some old mains. The quality of the animation is pretty good too. |

| Boring plot for a 2nd episode, also, wtf is wrong with those 2 older idols? They were annoying af. |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| So this will be just like the original Cinderella Girls, with each episode being focused on one character. And this seems to be Nina's episode. |
 |
| Ichihara was goofy with her costumes but it's kinda sad to her having these issues at such a young age, the producer knows which words to use and how to motivate her, it worked, that was pretty good actually! |
