User Okayu72 (Score: 6/10):
Going into this spin off I expected something similar to THE IDOLM@STER's Puchim@s! Instead I got something pretty different. The show has a lot of meta humor and pokes fun of the flaws many viewers had complained about in the past. Story: It's a short comedy series so there's not much story. Art: Typical low quality art for the kind of spin off it is. Sound: There's only one song, the ending theme, but it's pretty catchy and I'll have it stuck in my head far after this review.Enjoyment: I found the humor very enjoyable as someone who likes meta humor.nnOverall: For anyone who saw the original series or just someone who likes meta humor I'd say it's worth a watch. It's about 40 minutes in total. The ending changes a bit each episode so don't skip it.
