No spoilers- The premise of this anime really drew me in; it follows an idol group formed without the girls auditioning, with some not even interested in being idols at all! The group was formed and all of their decisions made by a wall that printed them out onto metal cards. Yet despite the interesting premise, the show fell flat for me. Unlike other idol animes I have seen, these girls did not have to climb for their success. With the stages and performances the machine demanded, their success was ensured with a strong performance. With the idols themselves, each girl was clearly defined and different from one another. However, I would have liked to see further development on the part of ALL members, rather than each girl's growth being relegated to just one episode. 

Overall, the show is enjoyable; if the plot was better structured, I would have enjoyed it more!
