This week I will be talking about the second season of D4DJ, D4DJ All Mix. A strict improvement from the first season with better animation, more units, more songs and overall a really cute and wholesome style. If Bushiroad releases a new season of this, I'll be sure to enjoy it.
Songs mentioned in the episode:
D4DJ All Mix Opening - Maihime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmhZdlrJZNc&list=PLk80SyRxgyyslDX_4JJrOSgfhCpV-eSdl

This week we will be discussing D4DJ, a somewhat niche "idol" anime focused on Eletronic music and slice of life antics, in contrast to your average idol story.

To finish reviewing all of Wake Up, Girls!, I will be talking about Wake Up, Girls! Shin Shou. Another example of why changing studios spells doom for most series, compounded with a general degradation of the animation and subpar 3DCG scenes.

In this episode I will discuss the last movie entry of Wake Up, Girls!, Wake Up, Girls! Beyond the Bottom. The second arch high point of the Shadow of Youth arc. Has some nice improvements and nice moments but lacks in other areas

This time I will be talking about the next entry of Wake Up, Girls!, Wake Up, Girls! Seishun no Kage. A really well done movie and generally, a concise follow up to the happenings of the first season but it ultimately fails in its narrative due to the short duration

This week I will be starting a little detour into one of the forgotten Idol series from 2014, Wake Up, Girls! A series with promise but a whole host of problems. Music slaps tho

This week I break the mold a bit and instead of Idols we focus on Rock. This week I'll discuss Girls Band Cry, the best 3DCG anime I've ever watched. A series so full of passion and production value put into it that it defies description. I hope there's more in production, I'll be there to watch it.

Following last episode, this time I will be talking about the sequel of White Album, White Album 2, a story that pays homage to the original even including song and the context but ultimately fails in delivering the same quality of character development and thrilling narrative,

This week I will be discussing one lost gem from 2009, White Album. One of the best romance dramas I ever watched. With impeccable setting, really nice music and one of the most stacked voice cast in history for a single anime. Absolutely recommended despite the flaws

Following the last episode I will be discussing Love Live! Superstar Season 2. An ok development for the series that tries some different ideas and borrows good concepts from Nijigasaki. Though most fall flat as the plot points are unfinished in favor of the sequel setup
Songs mentioned:
Margarete's introduction - Butterfly Wing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmTIs9o7WII
Margarete's Tokyo presentation - Edelstein: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWT0OrJj80g
Liella's Prelim song - Chance Day, Chance Way!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVk8tmQEHy4
P.S.: Noticed while editing that I misspoke as the song for the 6th episode actually rocks
Vitamin SUMMER!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B73C2hZ5RQM

For this episode I will be discussing Love Live! Superstar Season 1. The latest mainline entry in the franchise caring some of the series' most overused tropes but also bringing a nice revamp to art and writing.
P.S.: After finishing the second season, I did my research and got the names and links for the songs I highlighted.
Chisato joining the club insert song - Tokonatsu☆Sunshine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd9i50ppx7g
Sumire as a center song - Nonfiction!!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_06v7iS7bQ

Following last week's episode I'm talking about Love Live! Nijigasaki School Idol Club Season 2. Now confirmed the best Love Live entry I ever watched to date. A shining example of presentation, animation and music.
P.S.: As mentioned in the episode, I did my due diligence and got links for the songs I mentioned.
Lanzhu Zhong's(Houmoto Akina) insert song - Eutopia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk8lDW8JB5c
Lanzhu Zhong's Idol Fes song - Queendom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_3Ypl6_e9A
Lanzhu Zhong's Last episode song - Ye Mingzhu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRvmtD4RpLk
Shioriko's(Koizumi Moeka) insert song - Emotion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BctS652B2-g
Mia's (Uchida Shuu) insert song - Stars we chase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COwb7jyRxQM&list=RDEMZ8gEBjbosGVWUiHK4iW_EQ&start_radio=1
P.S.S.: The unit formed by Lanzhu, Shioriko and Mia is called R3BIRTH. The song they present in the 13th episode(i think) - Monster Girls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wq4-y8V6_Y&list=RDEMZ8gEBjbosGVWUiHK4iW_EQ&index=10

This week, I'm happy to say I'm discussing the best Love Live entry I ever watched to date, Love Live! Nijigasaki School Idol Club Season 1. A spin-off the main series that to me outdoes the original in many aspects, nonetheless it borrows various ideas and concepts from The Idolm@ster but still carries the Love Live energy wirh it

This week we discuss the other big idol franchise in anime, Love Live, more specifically Love Live Sunshine Season 1. A really cute and wholesome entry in the genre but sorely lacks in the writing department.

BEFORE YOU LISTEN: I got stuck with work related stuff and couldn't finish this week's episode so I chose to upload this unreleased episode of last season.
This week I will talk about a historic tale said to be the most accurate depiction of feudal Japan to ever come out, Lone Wolf & Cub. A really stylish emotional and inspiring saga which brings to light astounding character writing and the samurai bushido code

In a turn of events I swear I didn't plan out, this week we will be talking about the time Idolm@ster and Gundam got together in an anime and it was wack.

For this episode I will be talking about the latest in the Idolm@ster series The Idolm@ster Million Live. A somewhat sequel to the OG IM@S from 2011, tho it does not have the same grace as the original
Editor's note: Noticed that at the beginning I said Cinderella Girls when I meant OG Idolm@ster. Sorry for the blunder

Starting the main part of this years thene in earnest, let's talk about The Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls U149, a return to form for the series after years without an anime. This one wears it's inspiration on the original IM@S on it's sleeve and while it doesn't sport the same presentation of the 2016 Cinderella Girls, it makes up for it in animation and wholesomeness.
For reference, the songs I mention in the episode:
5 ED (Risa's Episode): GEMSTONE
6 ED (Haru's Episode): ACE
