    Synopsis:

    The members of 283 Production navigate shifting dynamics and personal growth in this series following a major concert by the popular idol unit, Shiny Colors. A temporary reorganization of the production’s idol groups is implemented as preparation for a Halloween performance, designed to foster individual development within each unit. This shift creates unexpected challenges; Mano Sakuragi grapples with finding her voice amidst creative constraints, while Hiori Kazano experiences feelings of exclusion alongside newly formed teammates. Fuyuko Mayuzumi, struggling with the pressure of performance and a stifled sense of self, faces an uphill battle to overcome personal barriers that threaten the success of the upcoming event. The narrative explores themes of collaboration, individual expression, and the complexities of pursuing artistic aspirations under intense scrutiny.

      All the same issues I had with season 1 are still present here, but it was a liiiiiittle better? I think? I really liked the Sakuya episode and it did feel like they were at least trying to work with what they had in terms of the visuals. I certainly got to know Toru better than I previously did. While she's still my favorite character design-wise, I didn't realize that her personality was so... out there. So that was something. Honestly, I'm not sure why they made this. I would've rather they poured the season 2 budget into making season 1 look less janky andhave a more compelling story. It's cool that they added Straylight and Noctchill, but if anything, it just feels even more awkward that SHHis and Comitek aren't here. Like, it's still incomplete. So why even bother adding more members if we aren't gonna get a season 3 that completes the cast? Maybe there will be a season 3, but considering how season 2 was announced before season 1 was even finished, I don't see that happening anytime soon. If we do get a third season, I hope they just lean entirely into the SHHis storyline. Both because its so good but also because I don't need any more of these one-off ensemble episodes with each individual group. Especially when they all just feel the same and don't really amount to much in the end. I don't know, man... I hope we get to see another phenomenal iDOLM@STER anime series in the future. I know it's just a very small piece of the entire iM@S franchise, so perhaps they don't find it all that worth it to spend too much time and money on these shows. But considering the absolute greatness that was the 765Pro anime, I just know they can do so much better and wish they'll be willing to provide us with that again, someday.
