Intro: Venus Project: Climax is a relatively underwhelming take on the idol genre, focusing on a group of contestants and their different reasons for becoming idols. Each has relatively reasonable motivations, and showcases the different lengths, both good and bad, some idols go to become who they are. Animation: 10/20 Nothing outstanding, you're getting your standard animation style with predictable levels of quality, nothing here is fault, but nearly nothing stands out either; some of the fight scenes had cool moments, but other than that, pretty lackluster. Story: 5/20 Pretty run-of-the-mill, Ruka had probably the most interesting storyline, and the most ecchi character design (yikes!); however, everyone else felt incrediblyone-note, had very little development, which wasn't helped by the incredibly short 6-episode runtime of the show.

Music: 5/20
It's your standard anime ops and inserts; literally nothing stood out to me, and it was ultimately forgettable. If I weren't cataloging it on MAL, I doubt I'd remember anything about this show, including its OST, in 2-3 weeks.

Uniqueness: 5/20
Paralleling the music, the story was also fairly dime a dozen, it has a few unique changes and the idea of making the idol battles use some form of VR/AR combat arena was kinda interesting, but it was nothing that I haven't already seen from an arcade game that gives you those cards you can collect/reuse the next time you visit.

Enjoyment: 5/20
If it wasn't for how short this show actually was, I would have dropped it, but given it's only 6 episodes, I thought what's another hour of my time to say I at least saw its conclusion. If you have 2hours to spare and literally nothing else to get to and have watched literally everything else on the planet, you could give it a go.
