'Idol Master Million Live!' is one of the series that originated from the arcade game 'THE IDOLM@STER' that started service in July 2005, and has been distributed as a game for smartphones and mobile phones on GREE since 2013. It was. Although the PC version was also provided later, all services have ended on March 19, 2018.

However, the rhythm game 'Idol Master Million Live! Theater Days' that appeared on the theme of this work appeared in June 2017, and it is celebrating its third anniversary.

The anime of the 'Imus' series has a very different setting from the game, 'Idol Master XENOGLOSSIA' was broadcast from April 2007, and then in 2008 an OVA was produced with game-compliant contents and the game 'THE IDOLM@STER 'LIVE FOR YOU!'

In 2011, a TV animation 'Idol Master' was also produced and broadcast based on the game, and the sequel 'THE IDOLM@STER MOVIE To the other side of Kagayaki!' was released in 2014.

In January and July 2015, a TV anime based on the game 'Idol Master Cinderella Girls' was broadcast, and in October 2017, the game 'Idol Master Side M' was animated.

Following this, the animation of 'Million Live!' will be the fifth TV animation in the Imus series. The main staff varies considerably depending on the anime, and the animation for 'Million Live!' this time is directed by Shinya Watada of 'Aikatsu Stars!' and 'Gundam Build Divers', 'Aikatsu!', 'Dorifesu!' Youichi Kato who was in charge of series composition such as 'Watch' is handled.

Although the broadcast time of the animation has not been announced yet, it is predicted that it will be six months to nine months ahead of the interval between the announcement timing of the animation and the broadcast timing in the past.

By the way, from the 'service start date' to 'animation announcement', 'Cinderella Girls' was 859 days for over 2 years, whereas 'Million Live' is more than 7 years, which is exactly for fans. I can see that it was a long-awaited thing.
