Synopsis
Million Doll revolves around Suuko, an idol-loving hikikomori (shut-in) who has one ability: To make any idol popular through the power of blogging. She puts her sights on the Fukuoka idol Itorio and tries to make her sell more, but she is impeded by the charismatic idol Ryuu-san and the underground idol Mariko. (Source: ANN)
Audience Consensus
Overall, the audience is largely disappointed with Million Doll. While the anime had an interesting premise of exploring idol fan culture and its negative aspects, the execution suffered from poor character development, cheap animation, and a rushed, unresolved plot. The short episode length was cited as a major hindrance to the show's potential.
Strengths
- Unique focus on idol fan culture rather than the idols themselves.
- Exploration of the drawbacks of fame.
- Interesting concept despite execution.
Weaknesses
- Poor character development due to short episode length.
- Unresolved plot and abrupt ending.
- Mediocre animation quality, especially the 3D elements.
- Annoying voices
