Hoho! Who’s up for a little bit of loli action on the beach huh? Too bad the quality was CRAP and it completely ruined any possible awesomeness that could have occurred. Take a quick peek at the caption of the song in the picture above, “Keep on Dreaming.” What the song is really trying to convey is the fact that this anime should keep dreaming because it will never achieve anything except failure. Funny because that’s all I foresee in “group three’s” future as well…Subliminal messages from the song writers, ftw.
Epileptic Massage-orgy…or something…
Please tell me shit like this doesn’t happen irl
One thing I noticed this episode was the fact that the girls had fluctuating boobs who’s cup sizes seemed to represent something like a sin curve. In the picture above, her boobs are fucking HUUUUUUUGE, and then some shots she’s normal or tiny (like first pic), then they’d go back to HUGE again. It’s not just her either, and frankly, it scares the hell out of me. I wonder if the Lovedols are really just cleverly designed robots who can control their boob size at will to hypnotize fanboys, and their true goal is world domination. Yes, teenage world domination. Doesn’t seem so crazy with all the teenagers saving the human race or the universe these days.
Side note: Check out the noob on the far left ready to pounce some underage boobage. Mmmmm
Obligatory Mizuki butt shot! Bring it on FBI!
I was strangely disappointed after watching this episode. I really expected the girls to learn a life lesson or something but they didn’t because once again, they got spoon-fed an opportunity. If they had failed hardcore and ended up in a huge mournful orgy or someshit, my rating would have been somewhere in the 11/10 range, but alas life just never seems to deliver these days. I might also add that listening to the same song over and over and over (toss in a few more “and overs”) again not only made my ears bleed, but I think a part of my brain started leaking through my nose. At least I let some snobbish chortles escape me a few times when the Lovedols were like “ALRIGHT!” or “WE DID IT!” or whatever the hell they do. This was an utter failure of fanservice, plot(for me to make fun of), humor, and anything else that might be required to make a good episode. At least I got a butt shot (which wasn’t even THAT great). Sigh.
Revised Summary:
Now that the girls are big stars because of the Inumimi movement they started earlier that evening, it’s now time to hit the beach with there beautifully underage bods. It seem though, that they’re out of shape, and they must first tone their figures with epileptic seizures in the dance room. I didn’t see him near by but they must have brought their own plastic surgeon to the beach because they all went through at least 10 operations…each. Mr. Pimp was unreasonably cold to his whores this episode, almost as if he was disappointed in the cash rolling in from their exploits. Maybe Mizuki isn’t paying enough attention to him, or maybe he has ED…poor guy.

Oh man, how did they manage to screw up a Beach episode? Seriously, its like the easiest thing to score in, in the big book of anime generic episodes. It seems that even with the FBI material in said bikinis, this anime just can’t pull off the the “appeal” that it wanted.
I do believe that these lolis are in fact cyborgs, in fact I am hoping they are, seeing as the current direction and source material is disappointing you so (my eyes are bleeding from the fail). I know it’d be a first (cyborg loli pop group genre), and it would hilarious to read. Also, they need to learn a thing or two for ass shots, *eagerly awaits the next Tokimeki entry*.
Manager-san is cold to his harem, I’m assuming because he had a really sweet “Group Discussion”…on his bed..the night before. So he might have been uh “Professionally stressed”.
Aww… it wasn’t that bad, at least in my opinion. ^^; Although I would felt tonnes better if they had failed to dance for the advertisement, they at least played the girls for laughs in the closing scene, so it was not a total success for them either.
Which is good, since it is important to let the little girls watching this show that not everything can be accomplished through COURAGE! DETERMINATION! AND TEAM-SPIRIT ALONE!
*cough*
That said, I really have to applaud Mr Manager for having the 2nd-biggest harem I have ever seen in anime( the first being Negi-kun). 18 girls in total… what a guy. Sayuki was also delightful in her petulance in this episode, and it never gets old watching his elder sister pummel the crap out of him.
However… four out of the six girls are still alien to me. I can only remember Mizuki because she is the sole reason why I am enduring all these episodes, and I have been hearing that the main plot( *GASP!* PLOT!) concerning her will kick in by Ep10-11.
I also remember Ruri, the little sister, because she keeps on referring to herself in 3rd-person… it’s the Pavlov Effect( aka Brainwashing).
Besides these two however… erm… I don’t really have a firm grasp of the others’ names.
The animation quality suffered a little bit in this episode, but for the most part, it was inconsequential, and they kept to the usual high standards during the money-shots( don’t laugh! Like it or not, Lovely Idol has one of the better animation quality for an anime series( probably because they are funded by Avex who WILL profit from all the character CDs that they’re going to make)).
In the future, I want to see more failures in their endeavours, more angst from Mizuki( preferably by smashing heads with her guitar), more pimpage from Mr Manager, and more smackdowns from his elder sister( who should really consider an alternative career in wrestling).

Time for Random Thoughts
..) I wonder if Mr Manager is still a virgin, and if he is, how he managed to stay that way…
..) The director reminded me of my Master Sergeant during my military days. She had the ‘manliest’ voice in the whole company. The kind of voice that says, “I smoke ten packs everyday and eat babies like you.”
..) As Nya-san went ‘meow’ and more ‘meow’… I suddenly felt a great urge to throw her off an overhead bridge for some reason. Hmm… I wonder why.
..) Do the Japanese really like that kind of school swimsuit so much? I personally find it ugly. ^^; One of those things I will never understand about, I suppose.
..) Seashell Bikini for the win.
Cheers.
LOL I can’t believe you still watch this show XD
The world would be a boring place if everybody blogged the same thing. It’s like PC Gamer. Some of the best game reviews in there are the ones that receive scores less than 15%.
Basically speaking, things which are so bad, they warp the spacetime continuum and become good due to the amount of stuff you can make fun of.
I can’t speak for Retsgip, but Lovely Idol is one of those shows that genuinely make me laugh due to the absurdity of it. I frequently have to pause the show because my brains were in danger of imploding from the inanity( not insanity) of the scenes unfolding before my very eyes.
Cheers.
@skane: Yeah you pretty much nailed it. I pause this show after every scene to roll my eyes so hard my body moves, kinda like the cave man in the geiko commercials. I too am glad that their whole dancing thing didn’t go as well as originally planned, but I would have much rather had them fail completely.
-If manager is still a virgin, i’d be so surprised i might crap my pants
-Lol, the director was kinda scary, yeah
-Yeah I’d probably throw her off the bridge, especially after her dancing
-School Swimsuits are totally weird for me as well. Maybe it’s more of a omg-they’re-wearing-a-school-swimsuit fetish than a “looks sexy” thing.
-Whats funny about the girl with the seashell necklace is that she’s got the oldest sounding voice EVER, yet she’s the smallest. So weird.
@Hinano: Haha, it seems you say that to me a lot nowadays ;p
A little something for the brave few who read the Lovely Idol section.

LOL, you’ve got to be the only English languaged blogger to go this far for Lovedol. I’ve grown to like them though.
P.S: Episode 7’s sub is out for you to enjoy
P.P.S: Yes, this is a shameless plug XD I had fun reading your blog.
Lol, yeah it’s just too hard to watch, too hard. I have two episodes lined up to watch but I just don’t feel like dying from the “awesomeness” any time soon. They’ll come though, in time. They’re also the lowest on my priority to blog, so when i’ve run out of things to type, then I’ll prob get to them hehehe.
Am i the only one who thinks that this anime is great… ? i finshed all the episodes including the 13th one and i found it to be AWESOME. seriously when i was watching the 1st 2 episode it gave me the the impression that the sript writer needed to do some reflection but after watching the 3rd episode i started enjoying it O.o honestly. Well for the whole seris i think i will be giving it a 10/10 if u ask me cos i really really enjoyed it
