![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This show takes you behind the scenes of things like that and really gives you a new take on the genre. In real life idol groups are often filled with people who have insecurities and project a false sense confidence. The girls feel like actual human beings which is kind of rare in a genre where girls are often personified tropes. What I liked most is that the reasons for their insecurities are all very realistic and their overcoming those issues felt very logical and organic. All of the girls had mini arcs that fleshed them out, explained their motivations and backstories, revealed things that they’re hiding from the others and showed them getting over their insecurities. On the surface Shinepost seems like your run of the mill idol show with cute girls, some catchy songs and nice performances, but where it sets itself Studio Kai managed to do something that idol studios struggle with, craft a compelling story and realistic nuanced characters. That said, I think Shinepost is the best new idol project we have had in the past few years, easily. Seemingly every season we have 2-3 really solid ones including some really special ones recently. One of the best parts of the growth of the anime industry is the influx of idol projects we’ve had in the past few years.
