Ochikobore Fruit Tart

Ino Sakura has just moved to Tokyo to join the newly formed Fruit Tart, an idol group composed of three members besides herself—Roko Sekino, a washed-up child actor; Hayu Nukui, a failed musician; and Nina Maehara, a model who is still waiting for her first gig. They soon begin their new life together in their dormitory, the Mouse House. But there is no time to get settled as the girls awaken to a shocking reality: Fruit Tart is in a deep debt of one hundred million yen and has not even started yet!

With the possibility of Fruit Tart breaking up and the Mouse House being torn down if they cannot repay the money, the girls must work their way up from the bottom of idol society by making a name for themselves and writing their own songs. Luckily, Hemo Midori, an experienced idol, is a huge fan of Sakura and decides to join the group. With smiles on their faces, Sakura and the other girls work hard to become popular idols while making sure that each day is as fun as the last.

This anime is about a newly made idol group with debt from the start. Its members are dropouts in their own way so the challenge is how to be popular with their skills and pay off their debt. The plot is good though if you think about it, having them as idols, there is only a small frame about their training for the song or even their screen time for performances, so it's quite a pity as this anime lacks for more of those scenes. It cannot also provide you with a whole MV of their song in the episode.

Characters - in terms of ... character, each of them has their own unique trait, which is a good thing. Cause if you play with who's who just by using their traits then you'll enjoy specifying each of them.

This anime has a comedy, fan service and also makes you crave for more yuri scenes.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

Great, another cute girl idol show.
It's a pretty generic show in general, but the girls aren't that bad. Compared to other CGDCT shows this one features a cast of characters that aren't just literal one liners. The main problem I have is the whimsical and lack of drive and ambition that should be present in a group of girls that are grasping at their last straw for popularity. This goes for any idol anime in general, to be honest. It's like this show slammed the story of being an idol into a slice of life CGDCT show, and as such, it's a flawed concept. ...
Art is honestly, terrible. They do the side mouth thing way too often, and the animation in the mouths in general are just very below average. It's like that pop cat meme, where when a character talks, it's like their mouths open super and and shut tight instantly. Their noses are strangely tilted extremely upward when viewed in a side angle. Their nose is almost parallel in angle to their forehead. There's just a lot of cut corners, but I guess the dancing isn't CGI'd so that's good, at least.
Overall, I just wish the idea behind being and idol was more serious and less of a predetermined thing where they would show success.

Unfortunately this show looks really bad, like have you ever noticed how weird the producers eyebrows are. Aside from that everything tends to look very flat and the patterns of the outfits are pretty bad.

There were some decent jokes, but way too much straigth man pointing out the joke-ism, especially unnecessary since all the characters are roughly equally depraved, which too could have been used for humor but was rarely.

This is primarily a fetish show with a slight idol aesthetic, which is fine, but most of the fetishes did not appeal to me like smell fetishism, light yandere or the main girl constantly pissing herself. ... I kinda like the contrast between broccoli girl and cow tits girls though. As far as the idol part goes it's kinda lame that the group can always lean on successful fans/family members for everything.
