Why is it that Day is still bothering with this show? Well, its the final stretch, and I’m blogging it, so I guess I have to. But thank goodness we’re winding down, as we’ve continued in the slump that started … Continue reading →

The harem flag has been raised Why are all the shows I’m covering laced with stupidity this week?? Okay Dantalian wasn’t that bad, but this episode of UtaPri has me raging for reasons you’ll soon understand. I’m not even upset over my game not arriving anymore because this just completely overshadowed it. Even this doesn’t [...]

FURRY EPISODE FUCK YEAH Wow, what the fuck, that was such a weird episode. It was also seriously disjointed, as we went from a catboy from a lost civilization to hospitalized children singing gospel music. Oh, and SHINING SAOTOME in … Continue reading →

I just found out that this series is 13 episodes long. That's one more episode than I had expected, and I'm astoundingly agonized. Why won't it just end?! Poor Tokiya, dealing with this daily and nightly. This batch of episodes was an astounding waste of time, since there was really nothing new added to the story and there was very little entertainment value. Ep08 was focused on Haruka

Confessions x’s 6, Fabulousness x’s 1000% Dear whatever shipping company I paid like, $3 to deliver my UtaPri game: It’s been half a month. WHERE THE HELL IS MY GAME?! I WANT MY FABULOUS SPARKLING BISHIES NAO DAMNIT!!! I was even too cheap (a HUGE mistake on my part) to bother paying for tracking too [...]

With dreams of becoming a composer and someday writing a song for her favorite idol, Haruka enters the Saotome Academy, a prestigious performing arts school. If successful there, she’ll be able to join the Shining Agency after graduation. However, it won’t be so easy when Haruka is already surrounded by potential idols and composers. On top of that, her homeroom teacher is a current idol, the headmaster was a record-breaking singer, and the academy itself is a chaotic place where anything can happen. Which prince of song will be paired up with Haruka..? First thought on seeing Haruka: Oh. My. God. THE EYES. WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER EYES!? Haruka's eyes are afire; they are the eyes that will devour your soul, the eyes that see all, the eyes that declare the coming of the end of the world... They're also the eyes that are thoroughly devoted to paying plenty of attention to the boys around her, with one in particular being her personal saviour. In some ways, there are comparisons to be made with Ouran High School Host Club here - one girl, surrounded by boys, and Saotome Academy has more than a passing visual similarity to Ouran High. But Ouran had one thing going for it: it was, mostly, gut-bustingly funny. Uta no Prince-sama isn't. I have a hard time connecting with the world of idols at the best of times (see: IdolM@ster); make them all male idols and I'm even less interested. Haruka may be nicely drawn, but she exists to be someone to gush over the boys, and that's just not entertaining. At least, if you're a 39-year-old guy. THE GOOD: Nope, I got nothing here. THE BAD: Idols. Women gushing after men. Repeat. I can take something out of most shows that I watch - I'm very tolerant, and have wide tastes. For some things, though, I'm just too far out of the target demographic to even be on the radar - a few seasons back it was Cardfight!! Vanguard, this time (for rather different reasons) it's Uta no Prince-sama. If you're closer to the target audience than I am, go for it, knock yourself out, I'm sure there's plenty here for you. Me, I'm outta here.

Please, children, do NOT try this at home :) Episode Summary: Following from the previous episode, Tokiya walks past Haruka (DON’T ASK WHY BUT I LOLED FOR NO APPARENT REASON) without a damn. Later, Haruka is playing with a black … Continue reading →

LOL. FANSERVICE. Sheesh, since when has UtaPri come out so early in the week? I swear I just watched episode 7… Oh well. Tons of fanservice this week and I’m not complaining at all. XD It’s the summer camp in UtaPri and Tomo announces that she’s pairing up with some random guy who’s not part [...]

With each passing week, I really look forward to seeing what kind of terrible cliche or overdone trope this anime will throw at me. Amazingly, it hasn't disappointed my eagerness even once. Each episode is just a little bit more over-the-top. In-episode scenes make it slightly more canon. This batch ended the "side guy of the week" series, showing the final extra (Natsuki) before diving

More fabulous than your average identity crisis …Thanks to me watching this on nico for the lols, I will now forever read Tokiya’s name as Itchy-nose-san. CAN’T FRIGGING UNSEE. It’s raining in UtanoPri, but unlike most cases here, Haruka is not the one depressed. She’s is actually doing excellent in school ever since she worked [...]

Why megane characters are to be feared UtanoPri takes a turn for the somewhat serious this episode. Don’t worry, it makes as much sense as anything else in this show. Haruka is super excited this episode because she’s going to see a Hayato concert. However, he friends are worried that she’ll get lost so they [...]

HNNNNNNNGH I swear, the longer this season goes on, the more I’m finding attractive characters hiding amongst the weed. Prior to this, Psycho Glasses hardly interested me at all, but when he goes into broody, dark, open shirt mode HNNNNNGH … Continue reading →

Sho needs to find some new friends *Headdeskheaddesk* …I feel like an idiot. You know how I said I ordered Uta no Prince-sama online? Well it’s been a couple of weeks, so I decided to check the order status to see what was taking so long. Turns out I ordered the game Uta no Prince-sama [...]

At this point, I kind of look forward to watching this anime, because then I can see just how many tropes they've overused and then bash it. It's a weird kind of pleasure. Wow, even I kind of want a cat-shaped cookie. These two episodes quickly showed more of the "harem of boys", with the focus on Ren and then Sho. At least Ren's episode was music-oriented - he had yet to submit his lyrics

I have learned two things while watching this episode. First of all, Ren’s voice makes my ears bleed while trying to rip apart a wall with very long nails. Two: Episode Summary: Haruka is watching her classmates practice dancing until … Continue reading →
