Starting the main part of this years thene in earnest, let&#39;s talk about The Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls U149, a return to form for the series after years without an anime. This one wears it&#39;s inspiration on the original IM@S on it&#39;s sleeve and while it doesn&#39;t sport the same presentation of the 2016 Cinderella Girls, it makes up for it in animation and wholesomeness.For reference, the songs I mention in the episode:5 ED (Risa&#39;s Episode): GEMSTONE6 ED (Haru&#39;s Episode): ACEFull anime/manga list: https://myanimelist.net/profile/The_Weeb_InitiatMore of The Weeb Initiative:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPR1yBkKjeWfCnvX1s_ZycADiscord: <a href="https://discord.gg/rSSc87AeJc" rel="nofollow">https://discord.gg/rSSc87AeJc</a>Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7KUuUmEkReF4IYyuFrpbO2?si=a36005c6cb524f34Comments, collabs and Concerns: theweebinitiative@gmail.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/InitiativeWeebTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theweebinitiative

This episode I will discuss an anime that had some considerable hype near release but for some reason went quiet right after that.

Why I watched Trinity Seven: The trend follower that thrived

Because there's a lot more to anime than just watching.

Every other week I sit down, think about an anime or manga i finished and share my thoughts.

I review animes, mangas, games and so on for the sake of discussion, putting my two cents on the things I like.
