This is wrong :(
US is in DST now, but Europe isn't, so that should actually be 8 UTC.

This is unrelated to idolwatch, it just made me laugh.



What did happen in idolwatch last time:



We're hitting the midseason climaxes for AKB0084 and Rainbow Live, don't miss it! Regular idolw@tch time is 1 pm pdt/4 pm edt/8 pm utc, but also maybe come an hour early for Uma Musume or 2 episodes of something else depending on when I wake up, since now that Slow Start is over, I start looking for something else to fill the pre-watch void.

We're starting the halfway point for AKB0048 and Rainbow Live!

SPRING UPDATE


Aikatsu Friends
Let's go, together! Head for the goal, Diamond Friends!!

quote:

The new anime will have a theme of "Aikatsu with your friends!" and will center on a new protagonist named Aine Yūki, who is good at making friends, and is enrolled in Star Harmony Academy's general education track. She befriends Mio Minato, the school's top idol, and becomes an idol herself.
https://files.catbox.moe/xvc6uw.webm

Aikatsu starts its 3rd series, so we get a whole new cast. If you haven't watch any Aikatsu yet, now's a good time to start. For those who don't already know, Aikatsu is based off the arcade game where you'd scan cards and play rhythm games, in order to get prettier clothes for your idol. It's marketed to kids, so it's a more comedic bent compared to Love Live and idolm@ster, and it'll be a long running series, so you'll get gradual character growth and lots of songs over time. It's pretty good.

https://files.catbox.moe/4s0p45.webm


That gets me going!


Mezashite's still continuing to sub the series, so watch it through your usual unofficial sources. We'll be adding it to idolw@tch too if anyone wants to join in on it there, as it'll replace Idolish7's slot(other than Idolish's finale which got delayed a month).


Kiratto Pri-chan

quote:

The new anime will have video uploading and streaming sites as a central focus, and will once again have themes of singing, dancing, fashion, and friendship as part of the series' themes. The series will center on two first-year middle school girls named Mirai Momoyama and Emo Moegi, two aspiring idols who decide to use the "Pri☆Chan System," a system used by famous people and companies to broadcast content. Like many girls starting their own channels and uploading content, the pair decide to become their own producers, starting their own channel in an attempt to become Pri☆Chan idols.

https://files.catbox.moe/kyv7pB.webm
Also this season, Aikatsu's rival the Pretty series starts their 5/6th entry(depending on whether you count Idol Time an extension of Pripara or not). Also based off their arcade games this series is also aimed towards kids, so you'll get a similar tone to Aikatsu. Somewhat hard to predict where the series will go since there's been a staff switch-up again, but it's likely they'll try to continue the same type of stuff Pripara did since that was a large success for them. A quick summary, the first 3 series Aurora Dream, Dear My Future, and Rainbow Live used a motif of ice skating combined with idols for their performances, and lots of magic is always involved. I haven't watch AD or DMF yet so I won't comment too much about them, other than saying DMF is a direct sequel to AD and people apparently like AD a lot. Rainbow Live is in its own continuity and is drat good and underrated.WATCH RAINBOW LIVE
https://files.catbox.moe/jtijun.webm
I think all 3 have a stronger mix of drama compared to Pripara, but they're all good and goofy too. Reportedly, Pripara exists cause a company exec got pissed that Aikatsu copied the Pretty series, so they made Pripara in response. I've seen a good chunk of Pripara now, it's pretty fun. It's its own continuity as well other than refs to the older series so you can jump into it easily too. It drops the ice skating and goes all in on idoling, as girls go into the idol Matrix to become top idol. It's directed by the Milky Holmes director, so if you've seen that, you'll have an idea of what to expect from Pripara. WATCH RAINBOW LIVE


SMCSubs is probably gonna sub it so look out for them. There's a possibility it could be added to idolw@tch too but we'll see.

HONORABLE MENTION

Uma Musume

quote:

In a world very much like our own, great race horses of the past have a chance to be reborn as “horse girls” – girls with the ears and tails of horses as well as their speed and endurance. The best of these horse girls go to train at Tokyo's Tracen Academy, hopefully moving on to fame and fortune as both racers and idols. Special Week, a high school horse girl from the countryside, has just transferred to Tracen, and she's determined to fulfill her promise to her mother to become the best horse girl in Japan. On her way to school, she takes a pit stop at the race track and instantly falls in love with Silence Suzuka's style, becoming determined to race on the same team as her.

Technically not a full idol show, but they perform as idols after winning, and a good chunk of them are voiced by idols you may know and love, so this will get listed here too!

Available on Crunchyroll! Also will be in idolw@tch!

Three eps in, and I'm really not feeling Uma Musume. Mediocre sports anime, subpar CGDCT show, poor idol show. I'll probably still show up for the preshow, but only with half attention.

Kiratto seems alright. It was very much a rushed setup ep, so I'll give it its fair shot.

I adored Friends. The character designs are great, and our leads are both very charming in different ways. It's cute as heck, and I'm super excited for more.
