Knock on Dream!

[billica-riverdine]

Starmyu review (s1 and s2). I’m very careful not to write major spoilers!

I have to say, last year I came across this anime called "High School Star Musical" or starmyu on wikipedia, while tending a page of seiyuus. I never watch an anime unless it was recommended by my friends. So when I saw they have all great voice actors, I thought "Oh, this will be worth it." The only idol animes I watched prior Starmyu were Utapri and Shohari via recommendation. (Now I've watched most of them including B-pro, tsukiuta, , and tsukipro)

Yes, I find the abrupt burst to song hilarious! (Sorry) also the bg concept in their singles were... magically amazing. The soundtracks were godsent.

The main story is about the MC, Hoshitani, who enrolled to a music-focused academy (hs?) with the dream to perform with a student of the high school he briefly saw years ago while passing the school building. Never he ever thought that his future-coach was the high schooler, who is also a council member, which makes his team a Star team. MC's team consisted of 5 members plus 1 coach, and they have their own (rather serious) backgrounds and concerns, which were screened per episodes. We can see how their lives were heavily influenced with musicals. They did not start off well..

I skipped several episodes of season 1 until episode 9, I completely stopped. It was during the time I shifted all my attention to the worldwide recommended anime, Yuri on Ice.

After my breakdown 6 months ago, because of a college admission test, I detached myself from anime for many months. The very first anime I started to watch again was starmyu, and I was very surprised to know that SEASON 2 AIRED DURING THE BIG TEST. I am 7 months late to welcome the series. Talk about bad luck.

So I started from season 1, from where I left off, episode 9 and the previous episodes I had skipped. Starting episode 10, I realized that this anime was far more intense than I had previously thought. Selfishness was the cause of conflict.

Even worse, not only the pressure from the "bad guys", their luck wasn't any better. I absolutely love the resolution, I never thought the way they fix everything bad thrown to the boys. That's where I got invested to the series.

The OVA of season 1 was not to be skipped. The animation is very eye candy and not 3d generated smooth like in most idol shows (then again, they are not idols haha). There are character developments too.

I was excited to start watching season 2, especially after knowing the super hot alumni of the academy, the "Ancients". The season started off okay, and the mysterious new character (Ageha) is very cute too, despite his Haruto-obsession. Nanjo and Kitahara Ren gave me the impression of antagonist lol

This season, focused on musical drama performance.

Season 2 was quicker to intervene the smooth pace. I kind of expected some plot twist from the start, though. The gags were funnier. And although we get like 10 new characters, they all have unique personalities that we can easily differ all of them. Also I like how Ren obviously has a crush on one of the main boy Kuga, haha.

And after more episodes, we got more and more twists. It's a good twist though, with several miracles to fix it included. It's no wonder why the MC was so distressed that everyone thought he might kill himself. Ouch. Not really though, one of the boy was surprisingly imaginative.

Each character's interaction were interesting, which develop their characters too. Unlike season 1, we can see the star teams unite and chill together.

In season 2 two, we only get 2 singles. The rest of transition songs were collabs or duet, and the songs were a lot lot better than the previous season. (((( Someone give medals to the bgm team please. ))))

And oh my god, the problems were never ending. You wouldn't have guessed anything wrong until it happened, What I also like from this season is, though there are obviously stereotyped characterization, they actually put their "bad deeds" into good use we never thought were effective. For example, one of the character was marked a copycat, but later he was useful as a replacement with his mimic ability.

The intensity of the rivalry for the roles were told from the start. Don't be shocked to know of all many many 30 boys you would see, only 11 performed on stage and only 8 actually got on screen time. The rest were behind the scene staffs, which makes the point of the show that "no matter where we are, what position we are in, our hearts are one." I assure you, you will see that the bg team also shine the same with the ones on stage. If I hadn’t spoilered anything, even the first part the performance was magnificent.

OVERALL, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HOW THE SEASON TURNED OUT. I ACTUALLY CRIED @GOD WHY HADN'T I KNOWN THAT 2ND SEASON HAS AIRED SOONER.

I will end this speech. I still can't get over last episode. This anime man, was on par with yuri on ice to me on how unforgettable it is. I will continue to support this anime, since the fandom seems to be quiet. But that doesn't matter, I do my best even if I ended up alone.

Starmyu S3 episode 12 review

I can't believe starmyu just ended ;w; Someone please tell me there's going to be an OVA or another season because I refuse to accept we're not going to ever see starmyu again.

For me, the best thing this season was hoshitani's and tatsumi's friendship and their character development. Hoshitani has matured quite a bit and tatsumi is more open about his feelings. He also seems to be having much more fun than before. I also enjoyed quite a lot the occasional appearances of the previous Kao Council members! Shiki is my fave among the new characters, though, I think that's quite obvious XD I fell for his charm the first time I saw him bicker with hoshitani haha I liked how he wasn't afraid of saying what's on his mind and how he kept on teasing hoshitani. I later learned that he shares a lot of similarities with otori (and with hoshitani, too) and that behind that confident smile was a more fragile person than I had imagined. Despite that, he tries his best to overcome his weaknesses and to remain positive no matter how bad the situation is. This episode also proved shiki can be quite reckless when he wants. 

(no seriously, why would you jump out of a building? And what's with those feathers? XD)

I don't know how to feel about this episode, if I am completely honest. On one hand, I absolutely loved the music and team hiragi's & team otori's (+ the others) performance. On the other hand, too many things happened in a single episode, so it's hard to focus on one thing. And while I am happy fuyusawa and shiki made up, I wish they had talked a bit more. Things were resolved too easily. Although I understand that since this was the last episode, they couldn't afford to spend so much time on them. The 2nd years also deserved to have the spotlight, after all.

I feel that the issue with "traditions" was kind of glossed over towards the end. I am glad all 14 members of the musical department (well, minus team akatsuki and the other members of team yuzuriha and team sazanami) were able to become part of the Kao Council, but I can't help but feel it was too easy. Did the school accept it without complaining? I am not going to complain too much since I love starmyu and I want this review to focus on more positive things, but I personally find it a bit strange that after all the drama about the school being strict with maintaining traditions (this problem lasted for 3 seasons), they are now suddenly very welcoming of changes. Especially big changes such as this one. It's kind of hard to believe. I wish the anime had shown us how this happened or at the very least, that they had spent more time showing us how the Kao Council came to this decision and what happened to all the members. What is going to become of shiki, fuyusawa, kasugano, irinatsu and chiaki? They were this season main characters (more so than hoshitani and the rest) and I feel that there's still a lot we don't know about them and a lot that was left unsaid. Maybe it's better than to keep on talking about their conflicts, but I can't help but feel the ending is a bit rushed.

However, despite my complaints I did love this episode very much! Now I’ll talk about the things I liked:

- Team hiragi and team otori + ageha and hachiya + nanjo and kitahara. That’s it XD

- Kuga worrying about hoshitani and not letting him look for shiki alone

If there is one thing that changed this season is that team otori and the others no longer expect hoshitani to solve everything by himself. They have always been very supportive of hoshitani, however, most of the times hoshitani did something, he was generally alone or with only one other person (the person he was going to help or who was helping him). The others agreed with him, but didn’t necessarily accompany him when he was about to do something. There’s a reason why hoshitani is called “miracle hoshitani”, if the others were always with him, it would have been unfair for hoshitani to take all the credit for the “miracles” that took place. How do I say this… they still have high expectations of hoshitani and they still go along with what he wants to do, but they now follow hoshitani when he’s about to do something. Also, hoshitani is no longer the only one to actively try to help others. For example, tatsumi tried several times to understand fuyusawa and to help him one way or another. Kitahara and ageha (+ tatsumi) also started taking their role as leaders more seriously and accompanied hoshitani talk to the Kao Council members several times. Hoshitani no longer has to bear all the responsibility for the “company”. Also, let’s not forget it was inumine who proposed the idea of making the Kao Council members part of their company.    

- Hoshitani and otori meeting. Otori cheering on hoshitani. Otori holding hoshitani’s hand. EVERYTHING.

- Is that hoshitani behind tatsumi?? AAAHHHHH

Those two are too much for me, I love them!!!

- THIS SCENE.

I swear starmyu is trying to kill me. First otori, then tatsumi and now shiki… I….  

- Nanjo, please XD

Nanjo is a hoshitani fan, no one can convince me otherwise.

- The previous Kao Council members appearing!! So happy!!

- Did I say I love them?

This is what I call character development ahdjak

- Shiki being sassy, hell yes!

- The way the 2nd years look at the Kao Council members. I personally found this very cute. They look so happy for them. 

- My baby ;w;

- I need another season now!!! ;w;

I am so proud of them. They’ll make a wonderful Kao Council.
