Synopsis: An anime adaptation of the spin-off manga by Akane, Puchimas! was announced in September 2012. The series revolves around the 765 Pro idols as they are accompanied by super-deformed versions of themselves. An OVA episode was bundled with Media Works' Dengeki Maoh magazine in October 2012. One day, idols Ami and Mami Futami bring back a little something they found on the street to the 765Pro agency. That was "Afuu", a tiny creature that looks almost exactly like Miki, except petit and pudgy. Although they started with one, pretty soon a barrage of "Puchidols" start flowing into the office, and things get lively.
Necropinion: just found episode 0 subbed of the upcoming winter series that quickly introduces all its characters, but after watching it I'm not looking forward to it as much being based of a 4-koma manga about IM@S (got 6/10) -.- ...I liked the idols' chibi versions except their SD counterparts who dont look that cute, we'll see how good the gags will turn until then ¬¬ Ex: very low - PS: 5/10 since ep.1
