Not much has been leaked in the way of plot, but we know that it will feature a brand-new story not yet seen in either of the two main anime series.

The iDOLM@STER follows the story of a group of 13 aspiring idols as they strive to reach their goals while overcoming a multitude of challenges that they meet on their path to stardom. Originally based upon an Xbox 360/PS3 game, it has inspired several anime adaptations and a spinoff series called Puchimas! Petit iDOLM@STER featuring chibi versions of the main cast
