And with that, Idolmaster comes to a close, and of course, it would not be an idol anime if it not ended with a concert! After all the struggles, challenges, it is finally time for the girls to put everything they learned into the biggest show they have ever made so far. A brilliant conclusion for an anime that marked a whole generation of fan all around the world.
Looking back, knowing that all the dancing is hand-drawn rather than CGI feels like such a privilege now. I heard the animators for the finale's live concert said they'd collapse gladly if it meant getting the art right, and that love from the production team genuinely comes through on screen. The animation at this level for a cute girl show was something else at that time, and it still looks wonderful over a decade later. And that closing song about growing past hardship to encourage others was a great sendoff. This is an anime where every idol's individual charm gets to shine. Thank you to everyone who made this piece of work.
the fallout from last ep is still very much being felt here and theres one specific wish someone has thats tied to the upcoming new years concert. everyones hoping to make it happen for them.
