Fun start! Of course, there were still Akira's doubts playing quite a role around, but that was essential in further building and pushing the plot. It'd be weird if he was overly positive about it, which was pretty usual for protagonists in this genre. Really appreciate that aspect here. Akira's first groupmates were pretty—uh literally, and also eccentric, lol. But I like them. No one's prickly so far, thank god, except for that one LEGIT member. It's a bit slow for an episode, but I think it's great pace given it's only the second one. They spent the better half here getting to know each other, as well as establish certain aspects in their character and motivations for being an idol.
