The Idolmaster (anime)



The iDOLM@STER is the second TV series based on the video game series of the same name. It is produced by A-1 Pictures and it aired through the the summer and Fall of 2011.

The anime follow the story of the game more closely, leaving unaltered several of the girls backgrounds, carrying them over directly from the game. Several items and songs that were introduced in the anime were later made available as Downloadable Content for the game.

For the original video game and history of the franchise, see The Idolmaster.

For the first anime, see Idolmaster Xenoglossia.

The anime provides examples of:
"Miki: No, no! I'll not give Honey up, even to you, Haruka!
 * A Day in The Limelight: Each of the idols gets their own episode that focuses on them and their issues.
 * Adaptation Distillation: The anime combines story elements from all of the game routes, and Miki, Takane, and Hibiki are already part of 765 Pro from the start instead of eventually defecting from 961 Pro.
 * Adaptation Explanation Extrication - See All There in the Manual below.
 * Alternate Character Reading - used as a joked at the expense of Yayoi in Episode 15.
 * Alternate Continuity - The Anime is based mostly on Idolm@ster 2, but it tweaks it a lot and uses several elements of the other games too.
 * The Anime of the Game
 * Ascended Meme - In the seventh episode, a Nonowa doll can be seen on the floor next to Yayoi's little sister's leg.
 * As of episode 15, Robo-Chihaya (guest starring Black Haruka) is now a reality. Or at least a movie.
 * Mujin Gattai Kisaragi can be taken as an Ascended Meme as a whole. In there we have Black Haruka, The Washboard on Kisaragi, and Yukiho's hole-digging antics is referred to in Takane's (Yukidrill's pilot) catchphrase.
 * A Friend in Need - Centric part of the plot for the whole show, more visible during some characters' Heroic BSOD's
 * All There in the Manual: Some events in the anime series make a lot more sense if you've played through the game and unlocked the backstories for the idols.
 * An Aesop - The second episode teaches Ami, Mami, Yayoi, and Iori about individuality.
 * The seventh deals with running away, although it's not any of the idols who runs away
 * Really, each episode gives a lesson to at least one character. In Episode 6, the Producer learns to trust his idol's abilities.
 * 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,.
 * Animation Bump - The majority of the dance numbers flow quite nicely. Especially in Episode 13.
 * An Odd Place to Sleep - Miki can sleep most anywhere, this includes the trunk of a van, two or three foldable chairs, and even while Haruka is piggybacking her in the Live For You OVA.
 * Aren't You Forgetting Someone - The Producer repeated this word-by-word when the girls forgot him buried in a sand castle.
 * Art Shift - Whenever Kotori gets into an Imagine Spot, this happens. Thus far, the art sometimes shifted into Shojo style, or Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure style.
 * Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny - Hibiki stops in the middle of her swimming race with Makoto in ep 5 to catch a fish.
 * Baker's Dozen - The Live For You OVA came bundled with the Live For You version of the game.
 * Bare Your Midriff - A few of the girls' stage outfits, specially Miki's, Hibiki's and Mami's.
 * Beach Episode
 * Beat - Episode 25 gives us this exchange.

 * Call Back - The girls referencing the Beach Episode (ep 5) on the Christmas Episode (22).
 * Iori and Makoto telling Yukiho to shut up in episode 10 the same way Haruka and Iori do it on the song Danketsu. Works too as a Shout-Out to itself.
 * Camera Abuse - Ami and Mami literally grab a hold of the camera demanding to be filmed in the first episode.

 * Makoto has this too when the Producer tell her there's comments about how sexy she's becoming.

 * Cry Cute - Yayoi
 * Later, in episode 20, with.
 * Cute Little Fangs - Hibiki
 * Dancing Theme - Both openings. At least the first ending (The World Is All One) counts as well.
 * Darker and Edgier: While the first half of the series was very lighthearted, the second half progressively began to take on darker tones, culminating in 765 Pro's rivalry with 961, Chihaya's dead little brother plot, and.
 * Date Crepe - The Producer with Makoto on their date to the amusement park.
 * Deliberately Monochrome - When Iori is telling ghost stories to Makoto and Yukiho at the beach at night.
 * Despair Event Horizon - Chihaya came very close to crossing that line.

 * Don't You Dare Pity Me! - Chihaya (again) during her Heroic BSOD.
 * Do-It-Yourself Theme Tune - The song "Yakusoku" on episode 20. Fits because even if the girls are Idol Singers they are not song writers.
 * Dragged By the Collar - Well, by the arm, but otherwise fits during Makoto and the Producer's date.
 * Eating the Eye Candy - The audience in episode 15, particularly towards Azusa's outfit.
 * Ending Theme - Subverted. Each episode has a different song sung by the idols.
 * Epic Fail - Episode 15, Makoto tried to wear a cute Magical Girl-style dress and 'cutefy' herself (call herself 'Mako-rin' and make up cute sounds). The audience is not amused. (At least until Yukiho fixes her to a more boyish outfit and the audience instead Squees like crazy)
 * Even Rivals Have Standards: While Touma may look down on the idols of 765, he was clearly disgusted of Kuroi's underhanded tactics of sending a paparazzi at Takane. Later, Jupiter themselves are even more disgusted when they learn 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.
 * Even the Girls Want Her: Makoto is not only popular with teenage girls but housewives as well!
 * The Everyman - The Producer so very much. Even his description is nondescript.

 * Evidence Scavenger Hunt: It's played with when the Futami twins are trying to discover who stole Iori's pudding from the fridge. Complete with summation in the end.

 * Flashback Effects - The animation is darker than normal.
 * Fragile Flower - Yukiho
 * Freeze Frame Bonus: - In episode 11, Haruka and Chihaya have a sleepover in an apartment building named "Mber". Haruka, Chihaya, and Imber were in Idolmaster Xenoglossia.
 * French Maid Outfit - The outfit Hibiki and Takane use during the "Ribbit Ribbit Kitchen" episode. Complete with Zettai Ryouiki.
 * Full-Name Basis - Takane does this on occasion.
 * Gainaxing - Zigzaged in Episode 10 between Azusa and Takane.
 * Game-Breaking Injury - Azusa gets the mumps a few days before a RGKM secret live.
 * Get A Hold Of Yourself, Girl! - Hibiki's hamster does this to her!
 * Girls Are Really Scared of Horror Movies - Yukiho naturally, and, unusually, Makoto, gets freaked out by Iori's scary stories and the haunted house at an amusement park.
 * Girls Love Stuffed Animals - Iori is always with her bunny and Makoto is specially prone to this too.
 * The Glomp - Episode 10. Makoto receives one, initially by Yayoi, Ami and Mami.
 * Go Out with a Smile - Parodied in episode 9 by Ami when she has to leave for an interview and left Mami to investigate the disappearance of Iori's pudding.
 * Gonk - Played for laughs on episode 2 with Iori, Ami, Mami and Yayoi trying to look more... erm... "adult".
 * Gullible Lemmings: Touma believes in Kuroi's lies that 765Pro are cheats and cowards but is unaware that Kuroi regularly uses these tactics.
 * Hands-On Approach - Ritsuko showing the RGKM what they were doing wrong on the dance routine they were rehearsing. (Ends up backfiring on her later).
 * Head Pet - Hamuzou enjoys being on Hibiki's shoulder or head.
 * Heroic BSOD -
 * Heroic Sacrifice - The Producer in two instances.
 * He's Back - [[spoiler: Chihaya tries to invoke this on her own, but
 * Hidden Depths: Episode 21 shows that Kotori isn't just a simple Sexy Secretary. She has the skills and the voice talent to rival any of the current idols..
 * Hidden Eyes - Chihaya gets this during the bath scene in episode 5.
 * Hypocritical Humor - Ritsuko tells the girls to overcome the heat with their minds... while she's with both her feet in a bucket of iced water. Also a shoutout to a near-identical scene in You're Under Arrest.
 * Hoist By His Own Petard -
 * Idol Singer - Quite obviously a whole bunch of them, not only the girls on the 765PRO.
 * Indecisive Medium - Part of the Red Herring on the first episode, with the Producer's lines not spoken but subtitled, as in the game.
 * Impractically Fancy Outfit - Iori, Mami, Ami and Yayoi's dresses when retaking their promos.
 * In the Name of The Moon: Parodied by Ami and Mami in episode 9.
 * In-Series Nickname - Ami and Mami have one for almost everyone in the main cast.
 * Nii-chan - Producer; Harurun - Haruka; Mikimiki - Miki; Yayoichi - Yayoi; Piyochan - Kotori; Himechin - Takane; Hibikin - Hibiki; Yukipyon - Yuikiho; Makochin - Makoto; Iorin - Iori; Ricchan - Ritsuko
 * Joshikousei - Though not displayed as much as implied, several of the girls are in High School.
 * Karaoke Mic - The Producer sings on one during their Cherry Blossom Viewing on the last episode, though we don't get to hear him.
 * 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.
 * Luminescent Blush - Played for laughs. Chihaya blushes when Miki enters the bath with her and Haruka on the Live For You OVA, though it isn't as much an embarassed blush and more a envious one.
 * 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, well 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.
 * Male Gaze: The cameraman on Ribbit Ribbit Kitchen certainly knows where he's aiming.
 * Megaton Punch - The Futami twins apply one of these on the Producer on ep 6, lampshaded even.
 * Meet Cute - 14 of them in the first episode, each with their own little quirk.
 * Mockumentary - The premise of episode 1
 * Modesty Towel - Miki in Ep 5.
 * Mood Whiplash - Episode 19 ends with quite a predicament for Chihaya, but the ending theme sung by Takane is strangely cheerfull. Only justified in that this episode, the character focus was Takane but even then...
 * Mythology Gag - Mujin Gattai Kisaragi. The idols piloting giant robots - where did we hear that before?
 * Named By the Adaptation - Chihaya's younger brother, previously unnamed in the games, is now given the name "Yuu".
 * Never Live It Down - In Universe, Makoto's will NEVER get out of her fame as The Prince. When she tried 'cutefying' herself, she ends up making an Epic Fail instead.
 * No Name Given
 * Everyone Calls Him Broducer
 * No Sense of Personal Space - The Futami twins love to tease the other girls (specially Iori and Makoto).
 * Not a Date - The Producer trying to defuse the bomb Makoto throws as soon as they get back to the office from the amusement park.
 * Odango Hair - Miki in the bath scene on the Live For You OVA.
 * One of Yayoi siblings sports this too.
 * Oddly Visible Eyebrows - Take a look at the characters page' pictures.
 * Once Per Episode: The frontal shot of the 765 Pro office building.
 * Except for the 13th episode, when they're and were nowhere near their office.
 * One-Girl Army - Makoto beat the relay race pratically by herself, since that (no thanks to Yayoi) Iori passed the batton to her in second-to-last place. And with an injured knee.
 * One Steve Limit - Played almost too close for comfort with Ami and Mami, and lampshaded in the introduction of the movie Majin Gattai Kisaragi. Ami plus Mami equals Amami. (Granted their written names are sufficiently different).
 * And in the game we have Ai and her mother Mai.
 * One of the Boys - Much to Makoto's dismay.
 * Onion Tears - Iori in episode 3.
 * Only Six Faces - 765 Pro idols, like in the games, albeit less noticable.
 * Paparazzi - An unnamed one is hired by Kuroi to dig up dirt about the 765PRO Idols.
 * Paper-Thin Disguise - Haruka's Clark Kenting and Makoto dressing up as boy so she wouldn't be recognized...
 * Photo Booth Montage - Miki on episode 12.
 * Makoto on 17.
 * Pinky Swear - The Producer to Yukiho (ep 3) and Miki (ep 12).
 * Plot Tumor: Chihaya's issues concerning her dead little brother keep popping up in various episodes, even when the focus isn't on her, and are constantly foreshadowed throughout the series,.
 * Poor Communication Kills - The Producer to Miki on episode 6, setting the chain of events that almost made her quit for good on episode 12. Though, 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 the fact probably didn't help.
 * The Power of Friendship and Trust
 * The Producer Is Useless - Mostly through the second quarter of the anime and in the Live For You OVA. When Azusa disappears, he started running around without doing much of anything while Makoto is beating up thughs. When Chousuke (Yayoi's brother) run away from home, again he just runs around without stopping to think about it.
 * Put On a Bus - The Producer on the Live For You OVA
 * Red Herring - The Producer's lines in the first episode aren't voiced, leading to believe that the adaptation of the game would be a literal adaptation.
 * Refusal of the Call - Ritsuko really doesn't want to be a pinchhitter for Azusa when she gets the mumps. The thing is, she doesn't have a choice.
 * Rehearsing Montage - Several, with the first one going along the credits of the very first episode.
 * Ridiculously Cute Critter - Hamuzou
 * Arguably also a Hypercompetent Sidekick, especially since said critter can understand a TV show on cable.
 * Seamless Spontaneous Lie - The Producer to Makoto in episode 17 (helped by Haruka).
 * Serious Business - Well, 765 PRO is an Idol Agency, after all.
 * Sexy Santa Dress - Miki, Ami and Mami on episode 22.
 * 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.
 * Shout-Out: There's probably some staff from So Ra No wo To working on the series, given Sister Yumina's appearance as a minor background character (the photographer's assistant) in Episode two. Wait, why does Chihaya in the anime look like Rio??
 * Episode 5 gives us Azunyan (see Stealth Pun below).
 * In episode 6, Miki is wearing a Mr. Driller T-shirt in one scene.
 * The Oil Baron's henchmen who fought in the epic kung-fu fight with Makoto atop the ladder in episode 8 looks very much like one of the Bakusa brothers from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Hint: both shows share the same character designer!
 * In episode 10, a possible reference to Perfume is made with the "three member technopop unit Barium." One of the members is even named Necchi.
 * There is a Taiko no Tatsujin arcade booth in episode 12, and also a logo of Mr. Driller is been seen.
 * And House of the Dead 4 game, curiously in a Time Crisis 4 cabinet.
 * The Xbox360 makes at least two appearances. Curiously enough, a PS 3 makes an appearance too, with a Bland-Name Product label.
 * Episode 15 also had an incident where Haruka was hit by a box with Chihaya beside her. Funny on its own, hilarious when you find out that Haruka's seiyuu Eriko Nakamura and Chihaya's seiyuu Asami Imai were in that same position back in 2007.
 * Also from the 15th, Mujin Gattai Kisaragi to the Super Robot Genre in general, Giant Robo in particular.
 * Episode 24 showed a preschooler had an uncanny resemblance to Kanata. Likely intentional since the character designer for So Ra No wo To was involved in the production of the episode.
 * While they do use a different name, episode 5 had the Futami give one to Hedorah, The Smog Monster
 * Blink and you miss it, but in episode 2, one of the old promo photos of the idols has Azusa dress up in Marilyn Monroe's famous white dress, complete with the up-skirt wind blow.
 * In the first episode, Ami does famous Ultraman arm pose.
 * Show Within a Show:
 * "Ribbit Ribbit Kitchen" from episode 4 is a frog-themed cooking show on Frog TV.
 * Episode 15's "Are We Live?" is a variety show hosted by all of 765's idols. Inside that show, we get Mujin Gattai Kisaragi.
 * Significant Birth Date - Yukiho's on the Christmas Eve.
 * Sinister Silhouettes - Kuroi's. Subverted in that he's never revealed.
 * Sleep Cute - A few.
 * Miki throughout the first quarter of the anime.
 * All the girls (except Iori, Azusa, Ami and Ritsuko) by the end of episode 13.
 * Most of the girls in episode 5 are sleeping soundly.
 * Slice of Life - This show is basically a Slice of Life with an Idol twist.
 * Smoking Is Cool - Yoshizawa seems to always have a cigarette on his lips.
 * Soundtrack Dissonance: Makoto's battlewith man in black is set to Agent Yoru wa Yoku.
 * Sparkling Stream of Tears - Kotori, whenever she gets out of one of hers Imagine Spots.
 * Staring Kid - Episode 5, the kids are amazed by Yukiho digging a hole on the sand... for the sake of dig a hole in the sand.
 * 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.
 * Stock Footage - The final episode has this in spades.
 * Stock Footage Failure -
 * Sweat Drop
 * Sweet Dreams Fuel
 * Tan Lines - More noticeable on Hibiki at the end of the Beach Episode.
 * Tareme Eyes / Tsurime Eyes
 * Taste the Rainbow
 * Team Shot - Several In Universe, not counting both openings and a few of the endings.
 * 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 the RGKM to get to the concert hall.
 * Episode 20 -
 * Episode 22 - Yukiho upon receiving "Happy Birthday" wishes from the other girls.
 * Tempting Fate - Inverted on the "Live For You OVA".
 * Tareme Eyes / Tsurime Eyes
 * Taste the Rainbow
 * Team Shot - Several In Universe, not counting both openings and a few of the endings.
 * Tears of Joy - Several throughout the anime.
 * Episode 10 - Yayoi holding the trophy they won during the competition at the end.

 * Episode 20 -
 * Episode 22 - Yukiho upon receiving "Happy Birthday" wishes from the other girls.
 * Tempting Fate - Inverted on the "Live For You OVA".


 * Ten 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, It takes the whole crew at 765 Studios to finally help her out.
 * Then later still,
 * 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.
 * Theme Tune Cameo - Both openings of the show are rearranged and sung at the same time during the live in the final episode. Works too as Title Theme Drop and Last Episode Theme Reprise.
 * There Are No Therapists: Let alone a family one which really needed after  . And it probably saved.
 * Through Their Stomach - Haruka is always bringing sweets to the office.

 * Torpedo Tits - Azuscythe on the Mujiin Gattai Kisaragi trailer in episode 15
 * True Companions: Notably everyone in 765 Studios. This especially becomes a major plot point by, but it shows throughout the whole series, like during.
 * Two Girl Romantic Friendship: Haruka and Chihaya seem to have shades of this.
 * Unlimited Wardrobe - The girls are rarely seen using the same casual clothes (aside from the stage outfits).
 * The Un-Reveal - Three different types/instances. The Producer's real name. Presidents Takagi and Kuroi's faces and Chihaya's forced smile on episode 2.
 * Verbal Tic - Miki's "-nano" and Yukiho's "-desu"
 * Vitriolic Best Buds - Makoto and Iori.
 * The Voiceless - The first episode lead us to think that the Producer isn't voiced.
 * Watching the Sunset - Episode 5 has a scene like this.
 * Wedding Day - Played with in episode 8.
 * Wham! Episode: Episode 19;  The preview for episode 20 makes it very clear that the tone of the story has changed completely.
 * Episode 23
 * Weight Woe - Azusa
 * We Used to Be Friends - Takagi and Kuroi
 * Wingding Eyes - Ritsuko and Kotori thinking about the next auditions after the girls retook their promo pictures.
