Original summary

Episode 1, “Goodbye Small World,” is part of the 22/7 anime run confirmed by the Fandom episode list. PopRot frames it around Miu Takigawa and the unit’s larger push from mysterious recruitment toward a functioning idol group.

What happens in the episode

The premiere introduces Miu Takigawa as a reluctant recruit who receives a letter and walks into a project she did not ask for. The strongest beat is the contrast between her inward personality and the public-facing idol future being imposed on her. The other selected girls make the premise feel bigger than one invitation: something organized, secretive, and hard to refuse is pulling them together.

Watch or skip?

Watch. 22/7 is structured around cumulative member spotlights and group tension, so even quiet episodes help the finale land. The extra episode is optional but recommended for completionists.
