Anime Review! ~ The iDOLM@STER!

Hello my wonderful blue raspberry donuts! ^^;

I'm back on my blog today with a small anime review! ~ I wanted to review this anime because I feel like it's not a very popular idol anime! Even if I heard about it a couple of times I feel like it's not as well known so I wanted to add my two cents to the reviews! XD;

Again like most of my reviews I'm going to try to make it as spoiler free as possible! :3

~ The iDOLM@STER ~

Idolmaster is a 25 episode anime that aired back in 2011! I believe there is also a couple OAVs and a movie but I only watched the "26th episode" OAV!

There is also a couple of "alternative settings" in the Idolmaster series with a whole different story and different characters and stuff. I looked them up and most of the reviews recommended that you start with that series if you want to start watching the whole franchise, so that's what I did! ^^;

~ Story ~

The story is about a group of 13 girls that are aspiring idols and you follow them through their journey; from the early stages of idoldom as they become more and more popular.

For what it's worth the story and the premise are pretty straightforward! There isn't really any big plot development, in my opinion it's a story that is on the cusp between an idol anime and a slice of life anime. The plot in itself is very simple and even if they encounter some hardships along the way they aren't really that huge and "plot twisty"...

I loved the fact that they didn't really sugarcoat the world of idols in the first part of the series. You can see how hard they struggle to start being noticed in the business world as idols. In my opinion it was a very genuine representation, which is something that I haven't seen a lot in idol anime.

Overall it's pretty simple story and plot to follow but it's a liiiitle bit bland in my opinion.

~ Art ~

Personally I didn't like the art style in this anime... ;w; I feel like the animation and the drawing were kind of poor quality?

The way that they would draw mouths really did bother me, you can kinda see it in the artwork poster but I feel like their mouths were often too big for their faces and I didn't like the fact that you almost never see their teeth? I thought I would get over it but it still bothered me for the whole series... XD; I also think that their eyes were lacking expression a bit and they felt lifeless sometimes...

The animation for the dances weren't very impressive either. ;w; And I didn't like the way the backgrounds were drawn most of the time, it felt unpolished. ^^''

~ Sound ~

I was expecting to like most of the songs in this anime since I'm really enjoying "anime style" music and idol songs; it's the kind of music I listen to almost exclusively... XD; However...

I liked exactly ONE song in the whole anime and it's not even a cute and bubbly one... ^w^'' It was Chihaya song; Aoi Tori, which is a very dramatic song in my opinion. XD;

The songs were very lackluster to me, most of them weren't very catchy and I feel like I could get used to a few of them but overall I didn't like them when I heard them through the anime... They didn't stand out to me at all...

For the voices, some of the characters voices were a bit grating to me but I feel like they suited their characters so I won't be too harsh about it but personally I did find some grating; especially Yayoi and Iori voices... ><''

~ Characters ~

One thing I think this anime did pretty well, the characters and character development!

At first I was worried because 13 main characters is a lot for a 25 episode anime and I thought that we would only see the surface of their personalities, but the anime did manage to make each of them shine. Most of them had their own development episode which is something I really liked!

During the last third of the series you can really see their personalities unfold as they grow as idols and interact together! It was really interesting to see and the last part of the series is what made me enjoy the anime so much! ^^;

~ Enjoyment ~

I wasn't enjoying the anime much for most of the series but as they started to give each of the girls their "spotlight episodes" I started to like it more! My favourite part was definitely the end of the series which I thought was very heartwarming and soft. :3

However I think the plot in itself lacked depth and the animation was bad overall... I was also sad that I didn't like most of the songs despite me liking that type of music so much... ^w^''

I always thought that the Idolmaster series was a must watch but after watching it I don't think that you miss anything if you don't watch it honestly, it's up to you! ~

Overall I give iDOLM@STER a rating of 7 out of 10!

I hope you liked my small anime review even if it wasn't overly positive, haha! XD;

Until next time my fluffy orange foxes, stay safe and take care! ~

Tokyo Treat Box Review! ~ August 2020!

Hello my sweet lilac flowers! ~

I'm back on my blog today with another Tokyo Treat Box review, this time it's the most recent one; August! ^^;

They changed their shipping method this time and the box came so fast! I think it took like 3 or 4 business days to get to me which is awesome! :3

This month the theme of the box was Natsu Yasumi which means Summer Vacations! ^^; I was so excited to discover these summer snacks! ~

Here was everything from the box this month! :3

So as usual I'll review them items one by one as I was trying them with the Prince! ^^;

~ Cocoa Bolo Bites ~

It kinda taste like Nesquick cereal but much less sweet and a little bit more fancy? It's very crunchy and the taste of cocoa is very present but it doesn't taste cheap at all!

~ Bubbly Taiyaki: Watermelon Chocolate ~

The watermelon chocolate was very good! The wafer is light and airy, it paired very well with the bubbly chocolate! ^^; A very interesting snack!

~ Ramune Hi-Chew ~

I really love Hi-Chew, it's one of my favourite Japanese candy! ^^; This one had some little bits of Ramune inside of it that would melt as you chew! Both of the flavours were really delicious and the texture was really interesting! :3

~ Setouchi Sea Salt and Lemon Rice Crackers ~

The texture was very interesting and crunchy! The taste of lemon was very faint and a little bit sweet. They tasted very fancy! ^^ The flavour was subtle but really complex and nice! :3 It tasted even better as we ate more, I can't get enough of it! OwO

~ Yaokin Crunchy Brown Sugar Snack ~

I remember having that snack before in another box! ^^; It was light and airy! The brown sugar coating tasted like molasses or very dark brown sugar, much more flavourful than the brown sugar here! The sugar coating was thicker than what I remembered but it was tasty! ~

~ KitKat Salt Lychee ~

The white chocolate was creamy and rich, so good! Lychee is one of my favourite flavours so I was very excited to try these! ~ The lychee taste was out of this world, very complex with the touch of salt in it too! It's not too sweet but it's very flavourful! :3 It may become my favourite KitKat! ^^

~ Spicy Fried Edamame ~

The texture was crunchy and nice, kind of like a peanut? The taste was very nutty and good though! ^^ It was spicy but not too much (and that comes from someone who cannot handle spicy food! XD). I feel like this would be good with a fruity beer! ^^

~ Pure Gummy Pikachu ~

The packaging is so cute omg! ;3; The taste was very summery and refreshing! ^^ It tasted like pineapple and banana mostly, it was a bit sour at first too because of the coating on the gummy... ^^'' The gummy was a little bit softer than what I thought but it was good anyway! ~

~ General Shrimp ~

The taste and smell of shrimp was... Very present... XD; It didn't taste very good because the taste of seafood was too overwhelming... It also smelled kind of bad and weird... XD; I don't recommend this snack lol...

~ Sour Lemon Gum ~

It was so sour!! XD; The gum wasn't very chewy, it was more soft than the gum I am used to... After a couple of minutes the sour taste would faint. ~

~ Soccer Scratch Mints ~

There was just a single mint inside this packaging... It was funny because there was kind of a scratching card inside of the packaging? XD; The mint didn't taste like mint at all? It had a faint taste of sugar but no particular flavour? It wasn't really good and a little boring... ^^''

~ Umaibo Rings Sugar Rusk ~

It smelled and tasted like... Buttered french toast? It smelled so good and buttery! The texture was light, crunchy and amazing! The flavour was really unique, something I never tasted before but it was really an amazing taste! ^w^ Now I crave for more... ;w;''

~ Yakisoba Snack ~

We had this kind of snack in a box before! ^^ It tasted salty but not too much. It also tasted a bit like BBQ sauce? I feel like it's Tonkatsu sauce though... A nice crunchy and light snack!

~ Oranda Rice Cracker ~

The texture was nice, light but crunchy! ~ The flavour of grilled rice was very good! It was a bit salty too. Very yummy! ^^

~ Coca-Cola Vanilla Orange ~

The flavour combo was really nice and interesting! ^^ The orange and vanilla mixed well together and the cola isn't too sweet either! ~

~ Umaibo Tonkatsu Sauce Flavour ~

I already had that type of Umaibo several times before! ^^ The flavour is a bit spicy and tangy, I really like it! And the texture was really nice too, yum!

~ Caramel Corn Snack ~

This one kind of tasted like the Umaibo Sugar Rusk? The flavour was really similar! The sweet and salty taste was so good though!! I wish I could have another bag... ;w;

This time, the Prince and I decided to do a Top 5 instead of a Top 3 because... There was too many things we liked... XD;

Tomoyo's Top 5

~ Umaibo Rings Sugar Rusk

~ KitKat Salt Lychee

~ Ramune Hi-Chew
