THE iDOLM@STER - Episode 13

Miki's performance for マリオネットの心 (Marionette no Kokoro) was epic.

Episode Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (5/5)

Awesome. Just awesome. The drama in this episode had be captivated throughout, even though I knew things were going to be just fine. It was treat to see Miki getting a lot of screentime once again, arguably saving the concert from being a complete failure in the process. I felt that producer didn't give her enough credit for her hard work (she nearly collapsed in the end). But all is good as Miki gave an awesome performance in "Marionette no Kokoro" and "Jibun REST@RT", two new songs which I really like. As we reach the midway point in the season, I have been really satisfied with THE iDOLM@STER overall, with the last two episodes easily being my favorites. A couple more Miki-centered episodes in the future would make it even better. Anyways, I'm hoping for more episodes like this one where the girls perform and there are plenty of insert songs because I'm only watching THE iDOLM@STER for two reasons: moe anime girls dancing and awesome Japanese songs.

A flurry on insert songs in this episode.
Below are the links to the songs that have been released before. No Marionette no Kokoro and Jibun REST@RT... T_T
