Uta no Prince-Sama is a shoujo showing the life of Nanami in Saotome Academy, the best music academy there to have teachers like the idols of the moment and is full of celebrities but Nanami not know any of them, because in your home has no TV! However, the girl has a unique idol, Hayato and it is because of him that she wants to be a songwriter.
The anime begins with Nanami trying to prove, but as it arrives late the guards not to let in, but Nanami gets help from Otoya and Ren trying to convince them to let her in. In its first day at school Nanami discovers that serious Masato (another classmate) and Ren celebrities are owners of famous producers. Then Nanami also know Syo, Shinomiya and Ichinose, apparently the twin brother Hayato, the girl idol.
Throughout the anime we get to know b…

Note this is just for the first two seasons,since I haven't finished the third yet at the time of writing this.
Otome from what I've seen is really good in anime. Some really think it's terrible and that they do poor adaptations. I disagree with this especially since there is UtaPri. Some sign it off as dumb but there are great elements here I think don't get noticed not that much.
Story 8
At first it's simple as they can get and it has a formula that it follows . But there is nothing wrong with that. In both seasons everyone in Starish gets an episode to themselves and Haruka also gets some focus. Then the rest of the episodes they try to focus on solving the problem. We know the ending at the first moment but we get to see how. And this works greatly. They also balance comedy and dram…

This anime I enjoyed for the most part because of the animation and music.
The animation itself is amazing, especially in the intro, all the dance moves, the confetti, the actions are very well animated, the settings are beautifully drawn, the characters' features are crisp and detailed.
I am absolutely in love with the music, they are stuck in my head. It is anime about music, so it would suck if the music was no unique or interesting. So yes, the music is good in the fact that not only pop chords are used but the melody in each song are very unique and different from each other, and most songs being sung by pretty boys with sexy voices, what more can you ask for?! Kya!
The only let down would be the characters, they are a little typical to most shoujo animes, and out of the guys, th…

Hey guys, I don't normally write reviews but I am trying to write more. So here it goes:
I have been debating watching this anime for about a year now. Everyone says it's great, when I am looking at which anime to watch next this one pops up multiple times but I was questioning whether or not it would be worth my time. Most people have listed it as a romance anime so here I figured, "okay a girl gets to choose between 6 guys. We've all seen it before and quite honestly I prefer anime where it is a constant relationship with common ups and downs apposed to getting a choice. Personal preference." But this was quite the opposite and I was disappointed to see that there was no romance, though you could see some starting to bloom, nothing happened in that field.
What i did find though.
Story:…

I was pretty skeptic about this anime since it was originally an otome game. Don't get me wrong - I love otome games and I'm huge fan of them, but from the adaption I have seen, the animes has just made it gone downhill.. . proberly from the lack of development like the games and since they have to squeeze this all in 25 mins, it's impossible to take interest.
However, Uta No Prince Sama wasn't what I expected. Take note that I have NEVER played the game ( i have only read reviews).
Firstly, the main character, Haruka, is your typically shy girl in which everyone walks all over.. and most of her actions can be annoying (cue loads of eye rolling). However, throughout the anime, she does have a hidden strength and she does have a goal she wants to achieve. Sometimes you can't help but appr…

Watching this anime was like getting braces tightened; painful to endure and restricting.
To put it mildly, I did not enjoy this anime. I often found myself dozing off because it was so incredibly dull. I initially tolerated the story line but that was before I actually started to watch it. This anime was pure torture to watch for me and I am completely amazed that I even managed to finish it. Every episode felt much longer than the approximately twenty four minutes air time. Overall I found it to be extremely tiresome.
I give this anime an one out of ten for its story.
One word for the art: bleh.
I give the art a two out of ten.
Moving on, the characters. I measure annoying characters on the scale of one to Haruka. She is a complete door mat and fails to assert herself when it is ne…

After watching a few episodes, I came to the conclusion that this anime is extremely corny. Yes, there are many corny anime shows, but this is one of the corniest I have come across.
----------------------------------------------------
STORY (3/10): The struggles of the group were kind of silly and melodramatic. It would have been better if each of the members had very different backgrounds and were not all that popular. The struggle would be them working together to become different and reach their dreams in music as a group with Nanami to influence them; Trying to be original yet popular in the process. They should have each used their own personal talents and abilities to contribute to the group, but they all acted the same.
ART (7/10): It was good. Not anything amazing or particul…

I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TOO ANYONE WHO LOVES MUSIC, REVERSE HAREM, OR ROMANCE.
The Story is a 9 because it isn't anything new,the characters is your standard archetypes nothing too special, but the overall show is so great its sweet and innocent,the characters personality mix well so there isn't too much drama it's takes away from the show, just enough to keep you watching.
The art and music is fantastic, when there singing and dancing the quality doesn't go down, A-1 Pictures outdid themselves, the songs are great the voices mix well the couldn't have asked for better results from the voice actor's. (i re-watched 6 times.)
The romance it on the lighter side only adding hints, that's the biggest problem as i was going though season 1 and 2, I was always yelling "get to the freakin…

At surface level this appears to be another reverse-harem otome kind of anime, but it’s actually much better than that. There is a reverse harem element, with all 6 of the guys vying for Haruka's attention, but there isn’t any actual romance (well, a little), which makes it an oddity amongst the shoujo genre. The biggest draw for me when watching was that Haruka, while still the female party of a massive love-hexagon, doesn’t just fall into the shadows and become a Mary-Sue type character; she’s a great female lead, and without her personality the way that it is, there’s no way any of this would’ve happened. She is the reason things turn out the way they do.
Of course, the biggest audience for this anime is young females, as there are many sexy guys, and each of them has their own distinc…

Story: 6/10 I like the idea of a music school and training their pupils to become future idols and such. But the story can be extremely unrealistic. At the beginning, Haruka happens to help out a kid and then happened to be late for an exam and then two "nice" guys happened to "help" her. How can that be a coincidences. Plus isn't Itoki Otoya sitting the exam? Why will he be going outside to help a girl and then going back inside? It makes no sense. And if Haruka is actually in a hurry and desperately and seriously wants to take the exam, why will she even help the girl? I suppose she's just being the stereotypical goody two shoes... (read character, I don't want to risk changing the subject)
Art: 9/10 I personally quite like the art. I like the amount of detail put into the characters an…

Uta no Prince-sama does get a lot of hate, but I am actually going to tell you why I think that it shouldn't and why it's underrated by people. But first I will go into the different aspects that make Uta-Pri good.
First let's say a bit about myself. I like anime with story and good characters. I will spot these things out quickly. Prince-sama does not have a good story, but characters popped out. But back to me- I do not get influenced by "handsome" men dancing and singing. As much as the guys were attractive to me; I can push that aside and focus on everything else.
Story: Not really much to see here. You have the main girl, Haruka Nanami, a young teen looking to be a composer. She wants to become a composer- something that a lot of background characters in Uta-Pri didn't seem to want…

I found UtaPri to be basically your regular reverse-harem type anime. It's a cast of handsome guys centered around one 'somehow special' girl. Not horribly unique. As far as the story goes, I have to say, there wasn't much to it. No crazy plot twists or suspense to speak of. Everything that happened was pretty predictable, though I will say that except for some slow parts, the story did at least flow well.
I did find the art to be pretty fun. I would have rated it higher, but the main heroine has some pretty freaky eyes that aren't emulated in any of the other characters, and I found that to be extremely off-putting throughout the series. Otherwise, the art features mainly bright colors, and there were very few parts where the art was particularly lacking. I thought the random chibified…

I can't say that the story line of UtaPri was the most interesting, it was mostly the voices that made me love the anime. When I first saw this on MAL, I thought it was a typical harem, all the boys competing for one girl, plus the addition of music. I didn't expect much from it, I thought it would be average, I was half-right. It is a pretty average plot, but the characters, the art, and mostly the sound gave an awesome feel to it. This is a great anime in my view, and I will watch the second season!

Okay well, first things first, i would say i 'Fairly' enjoyed this anime.
One big problem with it was that their favorite quote was 'I like your songs.' and that was killing me because it was repeated in almost ALL episodes, it really left me standing. Well, pulled through and finished the anime and overall, it was great art, great music, but crappy job done with the plot. I wouldn't really recommend it but watch it if you like art and music more than caring about the plot and if you love bishounens (one thing that got me watching XD) but honestly speaking it wasn't nice, almost every episode has at least someone confessing to the girl about how great her music is and how nice she plays the piano and stuff like that but really, if you don't like those predictable 'as expected' shows i rea…

First of all, I'm sorry if I can't express my thoughts clearly, because English isn't my mother language. Well, Utapri... I've finished this anime few months ago and suddenly remembering it while I'm browsing MAL, so here we go:
Story: 4
So here's the story: a typical shoujo entering a prestigious music school in order to study how to write good music, so she could someday deliver her music for her favorite singer--- what's his name, to sing. And as the story goes on, she meets lots of your also typical bishounens, and somehow attracted them all. Therefore, she builds her own harem, and by her so-called wonderful music, she was like, rockin' the world. To me, there's absolutely nothing special about the story, instead, it was kinda dull. I mean, it's not realistic at all. And the part whe…

To put it bluntly, don't watch Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Maji Love 1000%.
Some exceptions to this rule are as follows:
- If you're competing with a friend at a drinking game (drink every time the lead girl stutters, you'll lose consciousness fast - you're welcome).
There are no other exceptions . . . only excruciating elaboration.
Uta no star prince hyphen sama music note maji love 1000 percent sign (it has not earnt the familiarity of UtaPri with me) is a depressingly high-budget anime of a dating sim aimed towards women. Ostensibly about the power of music, love and friendship, it is, realistically speaking, actually about jack shit.
Our protagonist is a modern day Yamato Nadeshiko with eyes the colour of soup, who wears a short skirt and can't do anything by herself, except play pia…

What you will find in this anime is a group of cute guys who are pros at music.
~Story: There is nothing particularly special about the plot of UtaPri. It follows the journey of a girl who got accepted to a very extravagant music school. There she met a group of cute guys who gradually got to love her music. This anime is a typical reverse harem. Do not expect to find any major plot twists because UtaPri is quite light-hearted and often uses comedy.
~Art: The first time I looked at the main girl character, I was like "Why does she have such creepy eyes?!" I have to say the other characters' eyes are less creepy and look more normal. The art of UtaPri really has an elegant tone to it(please excuse the times when they dance like robots). What I really like about the visuals in UtaPri is th…

Like pretty boys? Of course, you do! Well, anyways if you like annoying girls who eyes shake and can't make up their freakin' mind, watch this! I highly dislike the main character, Haruka for her personality. Uta no Prince-sama Maji Love 1000% is an overall basic, generic shoujo anime. This anime contains singing, so if you dislike "musicals", I would recommend not watching this. Overall all, the anime is mediocre and watchable. But in the end I don't know why I watched it. UtaPri~

DOKI DOKI de kowaresou 1000%* LOVE HEY!!
10 Otoya: Are you ready?
9 Masato: Are you ready?
8 Natsuki: Are you ready?
So are you ready? Ok, now that this 13 episode anime has ended, I probably say that this is one fine musical drama, the plot of this story only plays a minimal role, because like any musical drama show be it live or animated, it is always the climax that's important co'z the featured song is the climax, and this this case it is "Maji Love 100%" or in English "'True Love 1000%," so for the story I'll give it a "Fair" 6.
Art- Mediocre number 5
The art of this anime needs no explanation it has similarities with another anime "Starry Sky" with minor adjustments.
Sound - Great number 9.
Well, let's just say that I kinda like all the songs being played in this anime especia…

O_O Now I've seen it all *shoots self*
Story [7/10]: The concept of having a music academy to train students to become future idols. That itself sounds really interesting. In the 2nd episode there was good development in the story through assignment given to the students where one has to compose other to write lyrics and record it. Alas such challenges were never shown after ep 2. The heroine has been given extra special attention by all the guys right from ep 1 without any reason(maybe typical of a reverse harem). A big letdown. I mean why cant the feelings develop slowly as the days of all characters together progress. Pace of the story is really slow in terms of development. Episodes are wasted on introducing all the guys (6 + one magical creature/guy perhaps- yeah talking about Cecil…
