The IDOLM@STER Episode 3

Harems are best taken in large doses
4/5 Stars



Wait! Harems can be GOOD?
This week's episode is far superior to the last one, and that surprised me considering that only one character took the stage for development this time. At first, the androphobe Yukiho was bit of a drag. She would be kinda annoying, and then kinda cute, over and over and over again. Her fear of men isn't a concept that's entirely new or especially appealing so what could Aniplex do to entertain us this time?

Well, with proper character growth, the defective episode could be entirely fixed with a little bit of interesting storytelling. How she goes about fixing her problem (well, at least alleviating herself from it) is interesting and enticing. This episode really made me like Yukiho eons more than in episode 1. It changed my perspective of her into someone that actually seems to have a grasp on her androphobia, (well at least a little.)
Haha... Scary
A good episode with proper enriching character portrayals really give a refreshing outlook on defective tropes. Plus, that animal girl that looks like Kyoko from Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magicka is really starting to get popular....
