107 years ago, the Moon was destroyed in a massive cataclysm that shattered Earth's former satellite into 81 quintillion tons of orbital debris. However, thanks to super-science, the Earth itself was saved and today no one really thinks much about that century-past disaster. Which is why when teenage Haruka Amami auditions for something called the Idolmaster Project, she THINKS she's trying out to be a singing idol. Instead, Haruka finds herself at a secret school run by the Mondenkind Agency, living with a group of other girls who have also been selected as candidates to pilot an iDOL - an advanced robot specifically designed to intercept falling chunks of moon rock. Except, the people who run the Mondenkind Agency aren't exactly knights in shining armor. And then there's the question of whether the iDOLs are really JUST robots. Because from almost the first moment, Haruka starts to feel emotions resonating from within the iDOL called Imber.

Where it came from
Released in 2007 by Sunrise, The Idolm@ster: Xenoglossia is a science-fiction reimagining of the original Idolm@ster franchise. Produced during a period when Sunrise was exploring darker, more experimental takes on established properties, the series shifts the focus from idol simulation to mecha-based combat involving giant robots known as iDOLs. It was directed by Takayuki Nagatani with character designs by Kazuhiko Tamura, who moved away from the bright, pop-star aesthetic of the source material to create a more industrial and grounded visual tone.
Upon its release, the series faced significant scrutiny from fans of the original rhythm-game series due to its drastic departure in theme and character personality. While it received praise for its animation quality and distinct narrative trajectory, the disconnect between the source material's identity and this darker adaptation led to a polarizing reception. Despite these tensions, it remains a notable example of late-2000s anime experimentalism and an early attempt to diversify the brand's creative output.
