Pretty Rhythm: Aurora Dream

Aira Harune, a clumsy yet happy-go-lucky girl, is suddenly dragged into the popular world of Prism Shows—an idol show based on figure skating, where performers called "Prism Stars" wear outfits encased in Prism Stones and perform stylistic Prism Jumps. Captivated by the dazzling fashion and gorgeous Prism Jumps, Aira decides to become a Prism Star herself.

She soon encounters the hot-headed Rizumu "Rhythm" Amamiya, who desires to perform the legendary Prism Jump “Aurora Rising”; as well as the prideful Mion Takamine, who dreams of becoming the brightest Prism Star above the rest. The journey of these girls is marked by friendship, growth, and unexpected encounters. Can they perform Prism Jumps high enough to reach their dreams and become the next Prism Queens?

Pretty rhythm is definitely my all time ALL TIME 24/7 favourite, it is always in my mind, the music, the scenes, the plot, the characters. The memories of playing the prism stone machine and collecting prism stone will never leave my mind, and I wish so much that I could play again.

Tbh I wouldn’t say pretty rhythm is the best anime, but this was what brought me into the anime world. I’ve re-watched pretty rhythm over 10 times, prox once every year, I memorise the music, the dance, and every line from the anime. Nonetheless I would still never get bored and tired of it. ... (Sick of fresh fruits basket tho :P)

It’s such a joyful anime with hints of sadness and unfortunate moments, how Aira went from an absolute airhead to the top of the top is such a wonderful feeling. I always enjoy watching them try so hard for everything, no matter if there’s up’s and downs they always stand back up.

No words can explain how much I love pretty rhythm, and unfortunately I’ve only met very small amount of ppl who have watched it before, but eveytime I meet a person that knows about it, my heart beats for them, I love anyone who watched pretty rhythm. We are besties for life.

I've been on a romance anime hunt and found this show. Aurora Dream is not categorized as a romance which is surprising whit the sheer amount of times the guys from "Callings" flirt with the main characters made me scream and blush ahahah, the main 3 girls have different types of romance arcs and it's fun to see the progression!
the overall show is quite goofy and around the end of the series it took a bit more serious tone but I laughed out loud at the final episode ahahahaha, I recommend going into this series with no expectations and on you period if you ... have one lol

This anime is the kind of anime you have to go through so that you enjoy it.

Firstly let's talk about the art. It's okay. Its 3D is better than Aikatsu's at its beginning, Kirari's, Sailor Moon Crystal's transformation's and so on. The 2D is not that great, but it is fair.
The music is great! The OST is kind of boring, but the songs and the openings (especially the second) are interesting!
The characters seem really show at the beginning of the anime. But as you discover them, you see that they're deep. Not especially original or complex, but they are definitely not clichés.

The story is ... harder to criticise. Precisely, the beginning is just awful. It is probably the worst beginning I've watched, seens, listened or read. You just can't understand what's going on.
But the story gets better, and the end is far from being good. It's brillant. I won't explain why, but the end of the anime is just excellent.

And somehow, I loved Prism shows. I don't know why. They aren't that great. But the anime makes you understand that they are more than show, that it is a reflect of your soul. It may not affect you at all. But, for my part, I've just felt amazed and affected. I know it is not that good. But somehow, I love it.
This is why my overall grade is 7/10. I guess that it truly deserves 5/10. But I can't give that. Because it truly resonates with my soul.
