Synopsis

Yumenosaki Academy has been home to the best boy idols of different generations. Holding immense influence over the school, its student council maintains the status quo by enforcing old traditions with an iron fist. Transfer student Anzu winds up attending as the very first member in the production course, making her the sole female student in the entire school. There, she meets Subaru Akehoshi, Hokuto Hidaka, Mao Isara, and Makoto Yuuki—her classmates and members of the idol unit "Trickstar."

The academy holds Dream Idol Festivals—stage battles that put its students' singing and dancing skills against each other, with the audience voting on the winner. Winning these "DreFes" guarantees the members of the idol unit various privileges and prestige. However, with the student council intervening and punishing everyone involved in an unsanctioned DreFes, the members of Trickstar find that they can no longer sit around and let it continue. Alongside Anzu as their producer, they plot to become the revolutionaries of the academy.

Before I start anything, I will need to warn you that you wouldn't like Ensemble stars if you are not used to watching anime that has so many male characters with few (or no) female characters, like Touken Ranbu or Hakuouki. But if you don't mind it, welcome! This is the right place for you. And I would like to assure you that Ensemble Stars is s not some cheesy reverse harem anime like Diabolik Lovers (I am not criticizing DiaLovers, I have played it and I actually enjoyed it.)
I have only known Ensemble Stars (ES) only when the game was released in English ver. ...

Mixed Feelings
Ensemble Stars is fine as an anime adaptation, but the experience will be screwed up depending on if you've read any of the stories before the anime. The anime is more like it's for fans rather than to bring in newcomers.

If you're a fan of Ensemble Stars previously, this is a great anime, and you'll enjoy seeing who you produce sing and dance. If you're new to the franchise, this is a terrible entry into it, as it poorly represents the characters in the franchise. You will probably misunderstand the character's motives and personalities.

If you want to get into Enstars, here's the deal - ...

As a long time fan of the Ensemble Stars franchise, I enjoyed this anime a lot. Simply getting to see the characters I love moving around in anime format was great, and it was very fun sharing in the hype with my fellow fans. HOWEVER. The anime as a whole when looking past my love for the franchise was very poorly done. I understand that they were trying to give every character from the game screen time but considering that they were trying to showcase the main story of the original game- which is extremely meaty- it just didn't work out very well. The main ...
