AniWorthStarmyu 2nd Season
Introduction
A new school year has begun at Ayanagi Academy for Yuuta Hoshitani and the members of Team Ootori. As the school's annual graduation performance titled "Shadow and Lights" quickly approaches, the second-years in the Musical Department must participate in the production as part of their curriculum. Out of the 25 students in the division, five of them will receive a training role and actively participate as actors in the program alongside the graduating class. Attaining one of these coveted spots will not only increase a student's academic standing within the department, but it will also put them in the running for a position on the elite Kao Council.
While every student in the department strives to obtain one of the five training roles, Team Yuzuriha's Riku Ageha is practically a front-runner for the role of Alexis' Shadow. Having idolized an Ayanagi alumnus' performance of Alexis, Ageha has spent a majority of his life perfecting the portrayal in hopes of being selected for the show. In contrast, Hoshitani's lack of experience in show business puts him at a great disadvantage for any of the roles in the production.
With specialized training from the "Ancients"—former Kao Council members and Ayanagi alumni—the second-years give it their all as they aim for the stars and beyond.

i found season 1 very enjoyable even though it has a very generic story so i was looking forward to watch season 2. i don't mind a generic story as long as it's enjoyable since i know how hard it is to find an enjoyable anime when you've watched most of the good anime already.
but season 2 kinda disappoints me. this anime has 5 main characters which is hoshitani, nayuki, kuga, tsukigami and tengenji. for a 12 episodes anime i think they shouldn't introduce too many characters. it's fine to introduce more characters but don't focus on them too much. i was looking forward to know more about nayuki, kuga, tsukigami and tengenji but they barely show up in season 2. especially tengenji, he had the least screen time among the main characters. for a 12 episodes anime, they should've focus more o…

Reason for Watching: Season 1 wasn't so bad, and this is quite a lighthearted story.
TL;DR: This season is better than season 1, in terms of... almost everything actually. Story is much more interesting with characters that are not cardboard flat as Season 1.
Story-wise, is a continuation of season 1, but with a better plot. There is more focus on the story aspect of the show, which is a plus for me. Season 1 was too focused on the MC alone and the musical breakouts that it seems almost like an anime autobiography of sort. The execution of the anime also brings out the story better, there's more plots with broader perspectives that shows how each character and how various storylines connect with each other. The climaxes were also paced rather well, with appropriate timing for the musica…

Idol or musical anime usually isn't really my cup of tea, but while I won't describe it as spectacular or anything, I enjoyed this one enough, surprisingly. I recently began re-watching it since Season 3 is coming this year. This 2nd season is better than the 1st season, so I have some expectation for the next season. Hopefully it won't be disappointing!
[STORY] 7/10
The plot is quite good. There's some entertaining dramatic conflicts that kept me entertained thorough the whole episodes.
[ART] 5/0
The art itself isn't that bad, but unfortunately I can't say the same for the way it's animated. The animation is really choppy and the movements are rather awkward. The colorful background arts and pretty character designs make up for it though.
[SOUND] 8/10
Overall, music isn't anything spec…

Better than season 1.
Story 8/10
So into their second year, the five teams of the Musical Department are battling it out for the training roles for the third years' graduation performance. Honestly, the whole story basically follows the characters trying to get their senpai to notice them. Not disappointed in the least.
Jokes aside, the story is really about Hoshitani at this point and shows the influence of his friends which leads to his success, despite being the least skilled candidate for the training roles. And of course, it shows how he is able to influence the rest of the cast in return. The story takes constant twists and turns that make it impossible to stop watching.
Art 4/10
The art was decent at best. The transitions to the musical are much smoother and I love the design o…

After recently completing the first season of Starmyu (and loved it to the point of watching it twice my first time), I was so happy to learn about it's second upcoming season. However, I think in comparison, perhaps Starmyu tried to do a little too much in the same 12 episode format. Which makes it feel a little underdeveloped in most areas and characters.
STORY: 6
As we continue with interjections of musical numbers, the storyline this time is perhaps a little weaker in comparison to the first season, and I already considered the first storyline pretty standard. The focus does not revolve around just Team Ootori anymore but in fact an expanded cast of all the star teams and the previous Kao Council. For the first half most of the focus lies on introducing a lot of interactions between…
