Never watched it but you know, I think that you could have reached that conclusion without even starting the series.
Some people consider that episode the worst episode mostly because they really spread Yukiho's negative aspects on thick. Luckily she improves significantly after this episode. I can understand not liking the episode, but I thought you'd like to know you were not alone in that feeling.
It gets better later, but I don't think it's the series for you.

Anime is really that expensive to produce? +$500K for a 25 minutes OVA?
Yeah, I forget how we got onto the topic but the one time I was in the IRC and he mentioned about the competitive Tetris scene. He linked to a couple of YouTube videos of top players and the guys were moving the pieces so fast it was like they weren't even thinking about it and were robots,haha. Hitokage mentioned that they will even think in terms of frames, like how many it takes to set a piece until the next comes along, so they could optimize that kind of thing. I mentioned that I had only ever heard of people into fighting games talking about things being down to actual frames.
Thanks.
I wanted to be more articulate but I wasn't all sure what I wanted to say. I had a pretty warm welcome when first joining AnimeGaf and he was one of the ones I talked to the most and if I had a quick question or something he was there to help answer it. I wanted to say some kind of thank you.
It's just a bunch of little things such as I'd PM him sometimes "what did you think of the recent fighting game tournament?" or around E3 I sent him a PM asking if he had time to see anything and if there was something that caught his interest. I can't do those kinds of things anymore. Every June 5th from now on if I were to say "Happy Birthday Hitokage!" there won't be any thank you's back anymore...
I had only known him for a little over a couple years so I don't know what it's like for people who had been here since 2006 or 2007 or maybe knew him even longer say.
I think it's fair to feel depressed and I'm not Hitokage but at the same time this is one of those moments where he wouldn't want you to be like that. He might even comment about have you never seen a magical girl show?! No matter how hard it might be to overcome that sadness, you should fight it and put on a smile.
If you look at their budgeting breakdown, 40% of the total goal is for anime production, and 15% is for preproduction.
Well uh, this is much more interesting than I expected. I'll throw them some bones I guess.
LOLOLOLOL at the 5 million reward. Guys would be lucky to even get the 500k.
Dude I'm financially tapped out for the rest of the year. I just spent a ton of money on another shikishi. I might have done the 2k tier last month but I'm running on fumes at this point.
I'm really not sure if this show is for you regardless, but this was easily the worst episode in the series, and if it weren't for kayos' and others positive impressions for later episodes I'd have dropped it at this point myself. I did enjoy most of the rest of the show though.

Well yes, but I'm trying to be a bit more open-minded.
I understand this reference.
I'm going to stick with it for a few more episodes at least.

What's wrong with the colors in this?
Majin Bone 19
Really weird to see the 5th character get his battleizer before the main character, plus Gilbert is so annoying hopefully he gets knocked down a peg next week. I also like how they threw Jaguar bone under a bus "oh you got your first power up last... too bad your power up is now shit and it's time for the next round of power ups"
it depends on the animation quality as well as the cast involved.
In this case you have to keep in account that they need to give out rewards, so even if they get 500k money there is also going to hosting forums, making a blu ray release, and shipping that out to people so they won't see all of that 500k (not that I think they will actually get 500k in general)
but in general 500k base cost for high quality animation sounds about right for 25 min...
I mean one piece with it's cheap and easy to animate style cost 100k per episode before the HD era (I don't think we have gotten an updated cost to make it HD or likely updated costs of the cast to voice things given the popularity in japan)
I mean I am sure something like wonder momo cost less than 500k in its entirety to be made. while something like Terror in Resonance is likely costing around 500k (or more) per episode given the people involved.
I mean to give you an idea of how much money anime stuff can cost you just need to look at the old list of license costs from ADV which if it costs that much to just get the rights to release them in english for those shows, you can imagine how much they actually cost to make in japan and how much money the companies likely got to air them and release them on dvd in japan.

Extreme compression. I'm not well versed in image editing terminology but it looks like only one of the color channels (or something like that) from the original gif.
It's art.

Idolmaster is boring outside Yamauchi's episode 9.
I had to look up the episode and surprisingly it's not the one I thought might cause this reaction. That's episode
22
This one always struck me as incredibly sinister at the time despite the resolution. It ties in with the other otherworldly episodes but the tone is unusual for the series.
Oh shit, I should put up caution for that one then.
Its pretty legit scary yo, not in eery tone like previous supernatural-ish episode just straight up scare horror.
Yessssssssssssssssssssssssss.
Edit: Wait how many volumes?
Edit2: 4 Volumes, for fucking real?

Ugh. Who the shit does more than two BD volumes to a series anymore? It reminds me of the days when we had to buy eight fucking DVDs to get a 26-episode series.
so it's likely going to be like $75 for the first part.... and there isn't a dub. won't be hard for me to pass.... though to be fair the series as a whole was a buy the whole thing with a dub for $50 or less release for me as while I didn't dislike it, it's not really a great series to me either.
at least back in those days right stuff would hold awesome 25 dvds for $100 sales....
with aniplex $100 will get you what... 4 dvds tops?
Aniplex, because they know people will still buy them.

22 was legitimately the most scary episode of any anime ever.
Aniplex, but its such a weird thing to angry about.. you like dem compression yo?
People usually complaining about their price, not this.
Fuck jamming 10+ in one disc for myself. I don't want bootleg quality.
Well the episode I spoiler tagged doesn't quite have the same type of horror but...well I guess you'll see!
But yeah 20 is definitely unusual. Really effective though.
I'm looking forward to what yourself and Syrinx make of the final series.

Cool, guess I won't need to pay an insane amount to watch the series
$50 was slightly better than I was expecting and then I saw it only had the first 5 episodes :/
yeah screw that release so hard... no way I am going to pay $200 for nisekoi with or without a dub.

Haha. $10/episode. Dat Aniplex pricing.

I recreated it frame-by-frame into a webm from a BD source. It's a good few MB smaller with greater res and less GIF quality. Edit: Before someone freaks it is still 60MB+
I'd say you should at least watch a bit further but at the same time I think that it perhaps is not the show for you.
An interesting perspective to watch the show actually is to consider these portrayals as a more direct take on the commercial nature of the idol business.
