[Anime] Nourin (or No-Rin)

Idolm@ster and Love Live featured female students aspiring to be idols. In Nourin, the opposite occurs. One of the most popular idols, Kusakabe Yuka, retires abruptly, changing her name to enrol in a high school. From an idol with a sparkling smile, she now has a poker face with an extremely sharp tongue.

Hata Kousaku was once Kusakabe Yuka's biggest fan. Now that they are in the same high school, how will things turn out?

I am hoping for some fanservice in this particular title, and I hope I will not be disappointed. Fanservice aside, I am curious about the events which caused Kusakabe Yuka to retire from the world of idols.

Airing this Winter season of 2013/2014!

As a fan of idols, this one piques my interests. I will tentatively wait to watch this and see where this goes.

2chan never forsaken me.

To this.

Nice edit. I came into this anime not expecting much and it would be a guilty pleasure (watch for the PLOT and I'm not into idol related stuff) but it was pretty damn funny. This looks like it will be a fanservicey, slice-of-life, romcom that will actually keep me watching.

Silver Link seems to be taking more cues from Shaft if episode 2 is anything to go by. Also, this seems to have Sora no Otoshimono-style humor, which is perfectly fine by me.
