Idol anime tends to send a powerful message to those who desire the extremely tough but rewarding life that being an idol offers. Ultimately, while you might seek to be number one on stage, your fame and skill can only truly help your team succeed. Basically, a team is stronger when all the idols remove their individual desires and try to become a single entity on stage. 22/7 excels at teaching this lesson to the viewer and makes for a heartwarming story to boot.

There’s a reason why anime fans go to war with one another: waifu. If you’re one of those viewers who loves to pick and choose the best waifu from a series, then you’ll love 22/7 as it has a plethora of nice anime girls to choose from. You can choose between girls like Nicole Saito who is hardworking and truly passionate about learning her idol craft and/or Miu Takigawa who is cute, shy and all too adorable. Just be ready to defend your waifu as there are plenty of fans of 22/7 who are willing to do the same!

One thing that stands out above the rest when it comes to 22/7 is the fact that these characters feel so relatable. Each idol has a deep background that is slowly revealed through the series and each tale has the potential to resonate with the individual watching. Not too many idol series grab you by the heart and echo your own tale or own struggles in life.

22/7 wins a lot of brownie points in our minds here at Honey’s Anime for not only being animated well but filled to the brim with amazing idol tunes. The character models look incredibly detailed and almost real while the soundtrack will hit your eardrums and make you sing out loud in any private—or public—setting. 22/7 looks incredible and sounds even better, which makes it stand out against the sea of idol anime out there.
