Idoly Pride English Sub & Dub

About Idoly Pride

Meet Idoly Pride, a drama, music and slice of life anime by Lerche (2021). Here is the premise in a nutshell. At its core: After a successful audition, high school pupil Kotono Nagase and her best companion move into a dorm with eight other aspiring idols. They fast realize it takes more than cute choreography and cute outfits to reach the top—it will take blood, sweat, and tears to advance in the idol-ranking VENUS program.

With drama at the core, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Kotono Nagase (Mirai Tachibana) and Sakura Kawasaki (Mai Kanno) are two of the characters you will meet early.

Think of it as a pick for viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
