this is more of a terribly organized rant about this show than a proper review. i tried for ages to format my thoughts on this show into a proper review, and i just couldn't do it. i need to talk about this but i don't know how to say it. this is the best way I could.

also i wrote this in one go at midnight so sorry if it's not very coherent.

The best way I can describe this show is that someone watched Evangelion and went "We could make an idol show out of this!"

It is the craziest show I've ever watched, to the point where I have no idea how to rate it.

It's a complete shitfest that somehow manages to be one of the most gripping things I've ever watched. It stumbles ass-backwards into being entertaining despite the fact that the idol portions of the show (which is like half the show) just objectively suck. The first three episodes of this show are exclusively about idol stuff, and they're just really bad. Which is a shame, cause all that did was make the already very low number of people watching this show even lower.

Take everything you associate with good anime and completely chuck it out the window. I don't know if I can call this a so bad it's good show, but I can say with certainty that I've never seen a more batshit insane show. This is so completely stupid and I could score this anywhere from a 1-10 and be able to justify it. I've never seen anything like it. I don't think there IS anything like it.

If nothing else, I commend them for having the balls to try something like this, even if they didn't execute it well at all. I'm not sure if I can even say they didn't execute it well, I really can't tell if they failed completely or accidentally succeeded completely. It's so bizarre it breaks my mind when I try to talk about it.

It tries to explore like 40 different ideas and then actually follows through on none of them. It alternates randomly between being boring and an ADHD Evangelion obsessed 12 year old's fever dream. Seriously, there are a LOT of Evangelion references in this thing (one of the characters is a Misato ripoff named Kaworu). I don't know how half this show can be uninteresting and the other half can be one of the most accidentally gripping things I've ever watched. I have seriously no idea how they did it, and I don't think they do either. It's both gripping and boring and the same time, which I didn’t know was possible.

This show just absolutely oozes chaotic energy at every turn. It'll start the episode with 15 minutes of boring idol stuff that no one cares about, before immediately jumping into

There is a scene in this show that I think perfectly summarizes the chaos.

This is a great group watch if you just want to get together with some friends and marvel at whatever the fuck is unfolding on your computer. I watched this with my friend and I think that really enhanced the experience of some of the more wild moments in the show. There are SEVERAL massive WTF moments in this show.

If nothing else, this show is unique. I feel confident in saying there has never been anything like this (at least, certainly not that I've come across), and I doubt I will ever see anything like this again. It is a wholly unique experience that I don't think can be replicated. It is beyond comparison for me, and that's an achievement. This show sticks out to me more than any other show I've ever watched. Even though it's not always enjoyable, it certainly gripped me for it's run, and has continued to grip me even after the ending. It deserves credit for that.

edit: this is a 10. i watched this show over a year ago and it hasn't left my mind since. this just has to be a 10. i don't think i'll ever find anything like this again.

please message me if you find a show or manga in any way similar to this. i want to watch one and i can't
