Cast bloat is a major problem I have with mobile game adaptations because they attempt to shove in as many characters as they possible can in order to showcase the wide array of different tropes that they have. And I cannot remember many if any of their names. The boys and all of their quirks both in their group and as individuals are pretty much the reason to watch the show/play their game. Now, could they have really put in the effort to deliver a good enough story to make this idol game better? Yes, but of course it’s not the story the show is trying to sell us on now is it? Kind of like a fancy display box that moves. The story is really just the framework that’s meant to give the characters the anime’s trying to sell you on a platform to stand on. Of course this is nothing new to I-chu, as many mobile game adaptations have suffered similar problems, but I’d argue that it’s worse here since there came a point where I feel like the fabricated stakes meant nothing, and character moments just kinda got glossed over like they were just functioning off of a script.Īnd at the end of the day, there really isn’t much I can actually say about the story.
EVANGELION EPISODE 4 WIKIPEDIA SERIES
Often times while watching I just kind of zoned out because there really wasn’t anything on the screen that interested me, and the bloat of the cast really didn’t do the series any favors as a result. This is mostly because as a result of the story direction chosen, the show feels painfully generic and fabricated to the point that some episodes feel like there really wasn’t a point for them to exist in the first place. I’m sure this anime was made specifically just to advertise the franchise and sell the cute anime boys to the audience, but even on that front, I feel like they did the absolute bare minimum in order to try and convince the audience to try and delve further into the series. Either we have a small overarching thread where all of the characters have to collectively pass over the hurdle, or we have individual episodes which focus on a small handful of the characters in an episodic romp that basically has no lasting consequence over the rest of the series. The story has pretty much only two different kinds of plot threads. Given this show’s origin as a mobile rhythm game, I wasn’t surprised at all with how the story of this show ended up. So just like how real idols work glad this show’s got some real world parallels here. But what stands in their way is not only about 20 or so rivals that all form about 6-7 different groups, but also the principal who stuffed himself in a giant teddy bear suit for the lols and tortures all of them with potential expulsion if they don’t meet the requirements. Here we’re introduced to the newest groups of I-chu, one of which being Fire Fenyx, a group of three hopefuls who hope to stake their claim in The I-Chu academy is a prestigious idol school that ‘s known to deliver some of the most promising boy group idols that (apparently) the world has ever seen. I mean there has to be an extent to which too much is too much, right? Maybe I’m just thinking too hard about this let’s just talk about pretty anime boys singing. I find it mildly amusing that the anime idol industry is just as saturated as the actual idol industry.
