Many fans of the original THE iDOLM@STER disliked Xenoglossia. It has completely unrelated story to the original game. It doesn't feature the original voice actresses, and its character designs are different from the real designs. Many fans just omit Xenoglossia from their lists of iDOLM@STER franchise. But the anime by A-1 Pictures was considered a major success, confirmed by the continuous high scores by reviewers. It won't disappoint. Additionally, the anime also features characters from the forgotten entry in THE iDOLM@STER 2 storyline, 876 Production. They were featured in their own game for Nintendo DSi, but apparently didn't get enough popularity to get their own anime. Now they only make rare appearances as cameo or guest appearances.
