This show has quite possibly kicked my ass the hardest this season in terms of boringness. Get this: I’m all excited right, because the new Lovedols was subbed and I thought that I might be able to catch a sneak peak at some anime-ass (even if the plot sucked) but noo they spit in my face with some weak drama shit! I was like “WTF IS THIS!! Where’s the loli idols dancing and Mr. Pimp’s mackin’ skillz?!?” They can do better than this, seriously.
The way I see it, there’s only one way to save this show and it only took me one word: fanservice. Seriously though, this is an IDOL anime. I’m a post pubescent male trapped in his pubescent stage looking for anime-love and I got practically no fanservice. WTF?! I want my money back! They haven’t even tried to flesh out the girls characters to allow us to love them, and they don’t exhibit strong enough traits to each stand out alone. I want to know more about each idol so I can pick my favorite and fap appropriately, thanks.
I loved the exaggerated melodramatic feeling to the plot. It’s like “OMG like, we work SO hard everyday dancing and flirting with Mr. Pimp, and we just can’t get our big break. What should we do?” They seem to be failing in making trivial matters seem important, but MAYBE if they developed some of the characters, we might be more sympathetic. This needs some serious work to be watchable, but I’ll stick with it in hopes that it turns around somewhere. Oh yeah, I also love ragging on shitty anime, and right now this qualifies (sorry fanboys).
Short Revised Summary:
Mr. Pimp has a short orgy with his prized “idols” aka his newest shipment of money-making prostitutes. They can’t seem to satisfy him because he’s thinking about emo-chick-with-purple-hair, so he leaves abruptly to their dismay. He decides to stalk emo-chick and stare at her ass as she drinks from a water fountain. Meanwhile, his girls chitchat in the shower after a “hard days work.” Emo-chick continues to sing the same song 100x.
Apparently emo-chick likes being stalked because she warms up to Mr. Pimp. Maybe it was because of the empty melodramatic speech he gave her about his past that finally won her over. We all know men tell women anything to get them in the sack so he must be lying, no matter how sincere he sounded. Oh yeah, he gave her food or something because like, she’s homeless or something? Right? Or something?
Behind Mr. Pimp’s back, his younger sister decides to join in on the fun and become part of his prized orgy. They don’t seem to be very happy because I think she’s now the youngest female, and we all know what Mr. Pimp thinks of young females…

No Fanservice in a Brothel cum Idol Front implied anime? This is…Unacceptable. Alert the Goddamned Internets.
Mr.Pimp is a man of many qualities. I bet he hits all his Girlz like a freaking Hurricane. Only thing is, we never get to see him profusely jam it in into his prized orgy-objects. I mean which Manager can stalk, manage a loli pop group, have the stamina to hit all the girls in his harem and then invite his own sibling to join in the wetworks?
If some of you ARE (by any chance) fapping to this shit, God help you. I will have to prescribe you with Night Shift Nurses and Immoral Sisters…STAT.
Immoral Sisters am win.
Yeah I dunno man. They spent like 15 minutes of the episode showing Emo-chick sing the same song like five times as Mr. Pimp followed her around ‘n shit. And then when it came time to be “serious,” I was fucking laughing at how trivial it was.
Just show them dancing in miniskirts or whatever other outfit you can think of and I’ll be happy. The plot isn’t strong enough to be of much good anyway, might as well go the distances with the fanservice.
I dunno, I’m starting to enjoy this show actually. Mizuki is a fairly captivating character, and I just zone out the other girls, although some of their antics are fairly amusing.
Although I think I’ll get a high if Mizuki goes psycho( “Revenge! REVENGE!”). I just love those. So damn adorable.
Lovely Idol is chockful of cuteness, and that can be entertaining in its’ own right. Best scene for me though, was the statement made by Mizuki that managers just exploit talents for money. This is because it is supremely ironic when you realise that the show is funded by AVEX, a music company whose sole purpose is to exploit the songs in this series to make money. I applaud the VA for being able to say that line without bursting into laughter.
Cheers.
whoa..everyone has such long comments…the only thing I have to say is “Is it really that bad?” I’ve only seen the first episode, but I thought it wasn’t that bad.
Skane: Interesting. I won’t deny the fact that it has epic proportions of cuteness, but it’s got one god awful plot. At least, episodic plot. I agree that they might say SOME things that are worthy of merit, but they’re all like 12 so you can’t expect much from them (just look at how they tried to befriend Emo-chick). Emo-chick is by far the best part of the show and I find myself drawn to her, but she warmed up to Mr. Pimp way too fast, especially with the way she was acting the entire time. It’s like he snapped his fingers and she started shining his shoes or someshit.
Danny: More long comments woo! And its not THAT bad, just not THAT good either. Like I said in entry, the characters are getting practically no development at all so we have no way to love them. We get maybe 1-2 lines here or there and thats it. The rest of the show is Mr. Pimp trying to recruit emo-chick. MAYBE in a few episodes they’ll focus the characters once the group is developed. Then i’ll be happier.
you called it with the sister.
This show isn’t as bad as, say, Crescent Love is right now. It has nice character designs, a cute story and so long as the other girls get some more development it will be okay. This is the type of show one watches between the serious stuff. Definately dpesn’t require many brain cells to watch, but it didn’t kill any either.
I did like Mizuki’s little comment about the exploitation for quick money, and I’d have to say that in reality someone like her with real musical talent would be better off playing music for her own reasons, since where she’s headed would pretty much end her carrer since most real-world idols, with a few very rare exceptions, last no more than 2-3 years. I also find it interesting how these ‘lovedols’ appear to be set loose in ‘batches’ only fortifying the idea that they are nothing more than products to sell CDs.
what is the name of the song she sings?
