There's a bit of history with this title
Originally released in 2007 in Japan, this was the first iDOLM@STER franchise's venture into anime. iDOM@STER is a video game series in which you play a Music "Producer" and raise Teen Pop Idols into stars. Part Dating Sim/Visual Novel (some idols become love interests and some don't), Micromanaging, and Rhythm Game, iDOLM@STER is incredibly popular in Japan and has yet to see a release in the English Speaking World in any form. Now, when the anime was originally aired there was a bit of controversy. One, this anime is nothing like the games. They've turned that great game and completely jumped genres, making it into a giant robot fighting anime. This didn't sit well with fans.

If you are looking for a mecha anime series with upbeat characters (primarily all-female), this series is for you!
Back in 2005, Namco would create the popular arcade video game known as "The Idolm@ster". Based on the career of a fictional producer for a production studio, many games have been released for the XB360, Sony PSP, Nintendo DS, PlayStation 3 and its characters would appear in other Namco Bandai video games.
In 2007, the first anime series titled "Idolm@ster: Xenoglossia" is based on the video game series and was created by the anime studio, Sunrise (best known for their Gundam and mecha series).
And why not combine the idol-factor of "The Idolm@ster" and Sunrise's mecha themed series? But taking the characters that were popular from the video games and putting them in a brand new mecha-themed storyline? And sure enough, you get "Idolm@ster: Xenoglossia".
The anime series begins with Haruka Amami, a teenage girl who dreams of becoming an idol. She's shy, not so confident of herself but during an audition, she captures the attention of the staff...
