13. Really 1000% love
Miss Nanami,
can you write a better song than the god of composers?
“And still the best ending is the harem one!
- Why?
- It's simple. In harem endings, everyone is happy."
“So let's song!” But that’s not what the anime is about. In the sense, it’s not about the “harem”, although the most skeptical may doubt it. The flag is in their hands. This series can be criticized indefinitely, with gusto, proud of its own eloquence and intellectuality. But I think, or rather, I hope that all the viewers with such an attitude dropped out already in the first episodes, and only seiyuu fans and connoisseurs of the genre remained. Among these two categories, the first continued to criticize everything except, of course, the second one. , it was, if not good, from watching each episode, then at least they didn’t see the flaw in every genre cliché. I’m neither one of the first nor the second, but I liked the series. I don’t think that the argument was like “I didn’t expect it. “nothing special” would be appropriate in this case, but this series simply created such a fun, playful, summer mood with each episode, and for this it gets a plus.
I love it when anime combines certain genres with music. It's great when a series can boast of a soundtrack in which it's not limited to just one character song. And there are enough songs in UtaPri. Musical genre It's in the tags for a reason. After all, peace is born in music. Our heroes proved this as clearly as possible. Music makes hearts flutter, feel, love. It acts like a life-giving force. Fantastic? Why not? This is a known truth. They just presented it to us again in a lighter form. There are no famous people in this series classical works or some philosophical ballads. Light, cheerful popular music. So frivolous, bright. But the heroes are not adults either. Boys and girls, forever young students at the school of the forever young, brilliant Saotome. How could it be otherwise?
Many people complained about the main character. Again. Once again she became a sweet, naive, stupid girl, but with such a big heart, in which there was enough room for everyone. Why this type irritates so many people is a topic for a scientific dissertation, I don’t even want to get involved in it. Girl and girl. God be with her. Just like with boys. The types of guys are just as stereotyped. What makes them special is only the imagination of the audience, all the conjecture and thought that makes each of their actions something extra. The kind and cheerful Ittoki Otoya, the serious and responsible Masato Hijirikawa, the sunny man with a surprise Natsuki Shinomiya, the honorary seme of the entire series Ren Jingunji, the sweet and funny Kurusu Sho and, the last, the mysterious and angst Ichinose Tokiya. With the latter, if we talk about my impressions, all the disadvantages of the series are associated, namely, sagging in some places of the plot, stopping for “suffering”. These groundless experiences were completely incomprehensible to me. If you want to sing, sing. So why do some other people’s preferences and desires become an insurmountable obstacle on the path of such a strong desire? Did the creators try to dilute the fabulousness with realism or excessive drama? But what am I trying to criticize about the romantic genre? It was just in vain and seemed far-fetched. Like, “now it’s going to be sad.” In general, Tokiya is a spoiler, the topic of which cannot be discussed much. The series needed such a character, yes. But I didn't like it, unfortunately.
The picture is bright, the colors are rich, the music is energetic - everything seems to be fine. And all these components together make you happy, cheerful, uplifting, but, as it turns out, they are quickly forgotten. Easy Come Easy Go. Everything was fun and good, sweet and kind, this is how a thirteen-episode summer series should be. And, yes, after all, it was just a “serial”, nothing more. Not a series, Serial or serial, but a serial. But good. There were, of course, some unfinished or “reworked” moments in it, but, in general, the end in it corresponds to the beginning, so everything is quite harmonious. Nanami Haruka, who entered Saotome Academy like a bleating sheep, came out as a Lady Composer, whose music inspires and delights, and, in combination with the voices of the boys, leads those around her into a state of ecstasy. Stupidity, right? This means that “old age” approached unnoticed, and we stopped believing in miracles. But in vain.
But if you have a dream to believe in they"ll be thousands of the most glittering jewels in the night sky
(But if you have a dream that you believe in, then it will shine above you brighter than a thousand pearls in the night sky.)
Hayato - My sweetest love, Uta no prince-sama
Uta no prince-sama is an anime about a girl who strives for her dream against all odds. She believes that if she has a goal, then the means to achieve it will certainly appear, and circumstances will develop in the most successful way.
As you know, in show business people are often pushy and persistent. It is these qualities that the director notices in Nanami Haruka, who is late for the entrance exam to the very cherished academy of her dreams, which produces stars and composers. The girl has been playing the piano since childhood, dreams of becoming a composer, and also, in a slightly more distant future, writing a song for her favorite singer Hayato, who “saved her from the abyss of ignorance and illness.” Once in the institution, the girl slowly learns the basics of skill, meets new friends and him - supposedly the twin brother of her idol, Ichinose Tokiya. Well, the story has begun...
A large number of characters, as well as a variety of personalities, certainly attract people. Besides story line does not limit anyone to certain relationships. In general, there is room for imagination to run wild. One of the downsides is that some characters of this work They are very similar to the heroes of other anime.
The anime has only one idea, and it’s quite simple: nothing should become an obstacle to your dream.
The predictability of Uta no prince-sama is not something negative, on the contrary, it is what makes the anime easy to follow.
The way the story is told is simple and effective: each episode focuses on a specific character. This allows you to fully reveal the character of each of the heroes.
However, the creators skimped on fan service; the most that can be seen in the anime is how the characters hold each other’s hands, and then for no more than a second. But drawing tears - this, perhaps, has become a favorite pastime for animators, because throughout the entire anime the heroine has shed an incredible amount of them, either from happiness or from grief. Moreover, crying without straining the facial muscles around the nose and eyes is, apparently, also a new ability of Haruka.
The behavior of the characters often resembles the actions of ordinary fragile boys from yaoi manga/anime. Although it is clear that they tried to make them lighter and sweeter, but, alas, the sophisticated brain of lovers of the genre produces only such associations. And quite often the characters themselves resemble the same “Pure Romance” - thick lips, eyes, careless movements... Although, it’s not surprising, because “Pure Romance” belongs to the same studio.
The anime is most likely intended for beginners. Yes, it is quite unusual compared to the background of the basic “Black Butler”, “Death Note”, “Naruto”, “Elven Song”, etc. So here, perhaps, it even wins.
Even when I see the cover, “Ouran High School Host Club” comes to mind, due to the number of main characters and the circumstances that bring them together. But I want to disappoint you - the anime bears little resemblance to Host Club. There is much less humor here, the characters are mostly uncolorful, and the only thing you can hope for is the presence of guys with handsome faces, which is just a treasure trove for those who love them!
But the musical accompaniment is, perhaps, at its best. Emphasizes typicality. A crying piano in sad moments, playful in cheerful situations, makes everything more natural and touching. And in general, in my opinion, there is not a moment in the anime where some kind of melody is not playing in the background. The voice actors of the characters sing very beautifully, which is good news for fans of Japanese music. So you can safely download the OSTs.
The opening is anything to watch or listen to. Everything is thought out and beautiful, without any unnecessary character movements around the location.
The ending, on the contrary, is one big spoiler - a large part of the manifestation of that same predictability. But everything was drawn beautifully - we even managed to convey the dance. This is not some kind of childish dance from Haruka Suzumiya, but something more. The lack of synchronization of movements in places (which is often typical, because everyone has their own dancing style) and the gestures borrowed from the videos of Japanese boy bands cannot but rejoice.
The video series will delight us with the correct angles, detail and emphasis on the faces and emotions of the characters. It’s very difficult to notice shortcomings, but you can complain in places about the lack of proper moles, hairpins and other little things... Some frames can linger on the screen for more than five seconds, so don’t immediately reach for the mouse, cursing the computer - anime itself is like that. There is a clear saving on personnel. The golden frames around the edges in the initial episodes, vaguely reminiscent of the same Ouran, add more grace and even please the eye, however, then they were simply forgotten about, and all that is preserved for the entire period of the anime is just a chibi drawing.
I would like to pay attention original idea depict the feelings of a person while listening to music, who flies in the stars or glows with all the colors of the rainbow. I can’t say how successfully it turned out, but this can safely be considered the main highlight of the anime.
If you don’t want to overload your brain with an overly twisted plot, be captivated by intrigue, and just spend time watching a relaxing melodrama, this is the anime for you. I hope your impressions will be positive ^^
1. Nanami Haruka
As befits the main character, she has a gentle character and the ability to change people, as well as a high sense of purpose towards her dream (otherwise she simply would not be the Main Character). Often, her dependence on other people's opinions plays with her cruel joke. But this, along with other awkward situations, does not stop her; she stubbornly moves forward. These qualities are adopted by other characters. And her nuclear eyes, in my opinion, are made to make her different from the heroines of other anime.
2. Ittoki Otoya
A rather clumsy guy who doesn't stand out much from the rest. Likes to fool around. She often helps Haruka cope with her problems, while at the same time solving her own. From the first minutes of acquaintance, he becomes very attached to GG, and therefore follows on her heels.
3. Jinguji Ren
Has an unhealthy love for girls, calling them "lady". He also quite often uses phrases like: “my heart flutters when I see you.” In general, classic Tamaki from Ouran School Club Host. But still in business and important decisions he is much more serious. From the very first minutes of their acquaintance he gives the heroine the nickname “goat”.
4. Hijirikawa Masato
A rather strange guy who makes sure that Haruka doesn't get into trouble, although from the very beginning he is rather reserved and looks down on everyone. He is Ren's "rival". After all, he and his opponent are heirs of corporations at war with each other. Oh yeah, that's not a spot on your monitor - it's a mole under his left eye.
5. Natsuki/Satsuki Simony
A fairly typical character who clearly doesn’t have everything at home. He often pesters everyone with his ideas, which are not crowned with success. Breathes unevenly towards everything cute and small. He never misses a chance to cuddle Haruka, as she is very similar to his dog Elizabeth. It would be unclear what he is even doing at the academy if it were not for his second personality Satsuki, who appears as soon as Natsuki takes off his glasses. All Satsu does is write music. Well, he also beats those who prevent him from doing this.
6. Kurusu Sho
He is a purposeful and kind fellow, although he pretends to be hard to touch, which reminds him of Ciel Phantomhive. Paints her nails with black polish and reads fashion magazines. He became an inseparable couple with Natsuki, who subjected him to experiments with sadistic pleasure. And if the other one still manages to take off the glasses, Sho-kun’s main task is to put them back on him. In general, his appearance is, to put it mildly, stolen. Well, try to distinguish him from Kagamine Len or, say, Alois, or better yet, from Finny, the gardener from the same “Black Butler”.
7. Ichinose Tokyo
