After a successful audition, high school student Kotono Nagase and her best friend move into a dorm with eight other aspiring idols. They quickly realize it takes more than cute choreography and cute outfits to reach the top—it will take blood, sweat, and tears to advance in the idol-ranking Venus Program, where the top spot was once almost held by Kotono’s older sister, superstar Mana Nagase.

I watched Shine Post recently and it gave me an itch to watch another idol show that also had interesting animated dance sequences. Unfortunately, the animation in Idoly Pride just isn't as good. It's kind of sad because they fully 2D animate some of the earlier dance numbers and they look fantastic. But then they switch to 2.5D for the later actual idol performances and they end up just... okay. The story is kind of interesting because it's very similar to how [Oshi No Ko] started with a bit of a subversion. But then it gains a sort of magical twist that's, thankfully, not altogether central to the story. Basically, this entire story is about a few key characters learning to become idols while also going through personal growth. This isn't the same as a lot of other stories where it's episodic and every member of the troupe gets an episode or two, but instead this stays focused on the few main people and it's mostly a focused plot that just progresses slowly throughout the season. However, the story is a little blah all things considered. A lot of the major themes are decent but they're done in a very muted way that doesn't really allow for any sort of emotional build up or tension prior to the finale. Which is really sad because I think they had a good setup but seemingly chose the path of least resistance. Not to say that I think this show is bad, rather it's fine. But just fine. If you like idol anime, you won't be disappointed but I doubt this show will make anyone's top list in any category.
