Irodorimidori

This was one of the worst shows I have ever had the displeasure of watching, there is absolutely nothing redeemable about this sorry excuse of a show. I'd rather rewatch vampire holmes than think about this shit. There wasn't a single brain cell that went into making a creative or new show when this was being made. The entire show is stolen from the hundreds of other generic and bland moe shows out there and it really shows. Every character is a cliche, the artstyle and character designs are the same uninspired shit we've all seen 50 times over and even the writing alone shouldhave somebody filing a lawsuit for blatant plagiarism. This show is remarkably unremarkable in every single way, it doesn't excel at a single thing (not that it tried to do anything in the first place). It's hard to even think of anything to talk about in relation to this show because there is honestly nothing to talk about. If you've seen enough slice of life/comedy anime you can probably guess the entire personality and jokes centered around each character from the poster alone, a quick read of the synopsis and you can probably figure out all the jokes and story bits too. It's insulting how uninspired this dreck is. This show is the perfect example of why so many anime are bad, they don't try, they just copy paste the same things that every other one before it has done so you can literally say you watched everything a show has to offer before watching a single frame of the damn thing. The ONLY notable things I can say about this rubbish is that irodorimidori is fun to say and that the end cards were nice looking, which is two more compliments than I can give the Pupa anime so I guess it has that going for it. Do not watch this show, even as a joke it's not worth it, it's just boring.

To put it simply, this anime is like micro-dosing K-On! If you're looking for something short and fast-paced to watch with cute characters, and also if you just like music anime, then you should definitely give this micro-anime a try. The characters are cute; none of them are annoying, and they all have nice designs. There's some variety, and they have good chemistry. Since it's a short anime, you can't expect much character development or relationship growth, so it's good that they're already likeable. The band's song is also good; that's another plus. I absolutely recommend it if you're looking for something chill to pass the time.

This anime is more for the Geki! Chumai audience that are familiar with Irodorimidori in the Ongeki, Chuntihm and maimai games. Due to that, I can't really recommend this anime as it would be subpar just watching it alone, even though I enjoyed it as a Chunithm and maimai player. The story is short with cliches, though it is meant to show the characters' personalities which arent usually shown in Chunithm other than manga panels. The characters portrayed in this season is quite flat unfortunately. I think people that play any of the 3 games mentioned would enjoy this somewhat, and first time comers to the franchise mightbe turned off.
