This is the prequel episode to iDOLM@STER's chibi spinoff. This episode has the main girls introducing us to the chibi versions of themselves as well as showcasing their talents and quirks. They're all cute and the gimmicks seem like they'll enhance the viewing experience of the Puchimas show. This kind of thing is something most people will skip on given it's just extra fluff content with no ties to the main series, but remember that the episodes won't run long so it should be a quick, fun, and easy watch. I'm anticipating the usual slapstick style of comedy from this with the show firing offevery quick gag, reference, & segment on all cylinders possible.nnThat's about all I have to say. I could've waited until I saw the full thing and made the review there (I still will), but I felt like writing this. At this point I'm monologing because this site won't let me post the review until it reaches a certain duration even though there isn't exactly a lot fo be said about a single 5 minute episode. Well, it you've gotten this far, thanks for reading.
