Wake Up, Girls! New Chapter · review

★
Top reader Oct 7, 2018 · 3 min read

Wake up girls is a series that was really low on my "to watch" list, and I think this is true for most people. As someone who loves to binge watch everything, I was waiting until the entire franchise finished, and I binge watched it. My Overall Thought: Some cool characters, ok story, good music, bad animation. Synopsis: Just the continuation from the "beyond the bottom" (not going to spoil it). However, we are introduced to a group of three girls that wants to become an idol. Job for the WUGs are steadily increasing, and are ready to put out their first album. Story: It was neither good or bad. Comparedto the previous seasons, it felt lacking, but this is expected. It's hard to have a good story when you already develop your idol's story. The addition of the new 3 girls was refreshing, but it was nowhere close to revamp the story. I think this is why many idol anime end in 2 seasons, and WUG was no different. I don't think you can make another sequel with these characters. To me, this story felt more like the studio saying "we gave up on WUG and want to create a new story in the future, so let us add some new characters for the future franchise".

Art:
If you love watching the artwork (someone like me, especially if you can understand Jpananese and watches anime for the animation), I would not recommend this series. It got worse and worse over time. There were cut scenes that were too long, and I think it had to due with financial problem with WUG production. I think the overall rating would have been 8 if the artwork was better. Last episode was the only redeeming quality (it was really good).

Character:
I actually quite like the characters, but the character development is poor. We are introduced to some of I1 idol's problem (find out who yourself), and that was quite nice. However, I wish there were more to this. Also, alot of the characters disappeared from the previous seasons. For example, I was wondering what happened to bvex?

Sound:
Idol anime needs good songs. One thing I really liked about the songs in WUG is that all the songs felt like it was WUG (as they include this in the song). However, I felt that the songs were overused too many times, and it felt stale towards the end. I would rather have one new song being played, than have a repeat of 5-6 songs that WUG has already sung. Especially the last song they sang. I don't understand why the production team though it was a good idea to play the last live song before the actual finale.

Enjoyment:
It wasn't terrible. If I had my full attention to this anime, then it would have been a much lower score, but its not a bad anime to zone out of.

Overall:
I gave it a 6. But, this series did have potential. Nicer artwork, more funding, etc. Especially when there were some cuts that were okay for too long.
