Synopsis:

Cinderella Girls Gekijou offers a glimpse into the everyday lives of the popular idol unit, Cinderella Project. Shifting from their usual performance schedule, the series presents a collection of short, self-contained vignettes showcasing the personal moments and interactions between the group members. Episodes typically follow the idols during leisurely activities like vacations, dining out, or simple outings, often accompanied by their producer or fellow performers.

The format emphasizes slice-of-life scenarios, prioritizing lightheartedness and character development over overarching plot. Viewers can expect a relaxed atmosphere, focusing on the bonds formed within the group and the characters' individual personalities as they navigate ordinary experiences. The show provides a gentle contrast to the high-energy world of idol performance, offering a more intimate and relatable perspective on their lives.

Reviews:

  • User LegendAqua (Score: 8/10):
    Cinderella Girls Gekijou is essentially the Puchimas vers. to it's original series. Cinderella Girls Gekijou is an anime short compromised of 2 minutes episodes of the Cinderella Girls MASTERS Idols going about their daily lives while also paying homage to it's original source material (it's mobage game) through giving us certain scenes that is from their cards just given more context to the situation to Starlight Stage (the mobile phone game) with it's new songs being brought out in the ending credits and newer idols getting voices being highlights (such as Yuuki Otokura, Shin Sato, Shizuku Oikawa, Sanae Katagiri and Yuko Hori) through this anime short. Interms of comedy, the comedy is extremely snappy with it's skit-based format (mainly due to it's runtime of 2 minutes each) however those entrenched in Cinderella Girls like LA is will know many of the references the comedy has, those who are a casual fan will be left in the dust. Though the only upside to this is we do see a more comedic side to the Cinderella Girls because of it.nnIn terms of animation by Studio Gathering (who also did Puchimas series), the animation for the majority is expected moe chibified format but with this art style allows the comedic moments to come in more easily, plus it's animation does change into full detail (again paying homage to the mobage cards) and those times, it's animation is pretty good for Studio Gathering.nnCinderella Girls Gekijou is one of LA's somewhat guilty pleasure anime shorts for Spring 2017 with obvious reasons (being a fan of im@s series even extending to Cinderella Girls), but even for those just getting into the Cinderella Girls, this is a good place to start off with, bringing us characters that we didn't know (due to Cinderella Girls HUGE ensemble cast outside of MASTER idols) and showing us their daily lives with a hint of comedy to them. LA enjoyed Cinderella Girls Gekoijou without a doubt and is also one of the better anime shorts to come out of Spring 2017.
