Haven't I done this one before?

Ino Sakura moves from the boonies to Tokyo to become an idol, moving into the dormitory mouse house with a host of characters consisting of a failed musician, a failed model, a reluctant former child actress, a not so promising rising star and a shady manager, the five girls form an idol group in order to prevent their dorm from closing by doing an internet variety show along with concerts.
I've viewed a similar anime with a similar plot called Wandaba Style, the difference here is that the cast of Dropout Idol Fruit Tart are alot more predictable with how they act, Roko steals the show with just how hilarious her back story is and how sick she is of being labelled a child still.
While there is much to enjoy there are many moments where nothing really happens, it's very much imbalanced, hard to deliver a solid recommendation.
Dub I've not seen but I'm never keen to view one for this genre.
Final Verdict: A fun little comedy with a predictable cast and an imbalanced plot. I'd at least stay for Roko if no one else.
