Starmyu 3rd Season

Following a successful graduation performance, Yuuta Hoshitani and the rest of the second years begin preparations for the upcoming Ayanagi Festival. This year's festival is the first time the students will be without their Kao Council mentors, giving them the creative freedom to do what they want. Hoping to perform alongside each other for once, the second years decide to put on a joint production together. The festival’s opening ceremony will also serve another purpose—to reveal next year's Kao Council candidates.

The Kao Council announces that Team Hiiragi was selected for the opening ceremony performance, preventing them from participating in the collaboration. This shocks and enrages Hoshitani and the others, driving a rift between them and the Kao Council. In an effort to realize their dreams, the students begin to hatch a plan to ensure that all of the second years can perform together on stage.

Woohoo!! Yay! Yay!!
What a splendid anime I ever watched. Especially the character I love the most are Hoshitani Yuuta. Maybe he is the most influential character for the story. I like how he so confidential and passionate. That what I love from the story, he teaches me that we should never give up on something we hold dearly. I like how he said that he doesn't know how to give up something. Bravo! And why he is the most influential character for the story? Mainly these other characters were being influenced by him so they become passionate for it.

For this ... 3 seasons. They had left the same impression for each time I watched for the new season, and it's "NEVER GIVE UP!"
Yep, now this word had placed at my life dictionary. Yay!

Hope they make the fourth season for a new generation, maybe?

Mixed Feelings

Still have to wrap my head around what the purpose of this season was. I enjoyed the past two seasons (no, they're no masterpiece, but they are quite simple and filled with rather interesting characters).

That said, this was a rather disappointing season, which managed to introduce yet new characters whose only whole purpose was to force the plot to make the main characters struggle.

Story (5): the story is simple and straightforward, but comes off as forced and convoluted because of the characters actions and motives. The finale is just a mess with a pinch of fanservice for long time viewers.

Art (7): nothing to complain, ... clean animations and nice art.

Sound (7): just like the art section, nothing to complain. Every episode features at least one new song.

Character (4): they introduced a bunch of new characters that we really don't get to know (besides traits that are relevant to the plot), that overshadowed old and much more interesting characters. Maybe a longer season could have improved the characterization and deepened the plot

Overall (5): I grew to love this franchise, I admit idol-anime are a guilty pleasure of mine, and Starmyu is not an exception. This season feels like an empty shell of what the previous two were. I don't mind the cheesyness or the clichès (that's what I'm here for! Just guys being dudes) but God how tiring and pointless was this season...

I legitimately do not understand why or how this anime even managed to get a third season, especially so out of the blue. The first season was a pile of the most generic clichés and stereotypes, without even mortar to hold them together, about a few boys who had to learn to work together. The second season introduced more characters that had to learn to work together, so everyone had less screentime to help you even remember their names. And here's the third season, which... seems to add even more characters who have to learn to work together? Some of those are apparent upperclassmen, even, ... yet we've never heard of them despite all the time the original cast has already spent in the school?? And in all this time, neither the designs, nor the image or animation quality has gotten any better??? I simply fail to see any sort of justification for this, especially when there are countless others, at the worst as "good" as this, that get the axe after only one season, or two if they're lucky.

The cast is just way too big, and holy smokes, there's maybe two or three of them that don't share the basic bland copy-paste look of everyone else - there are very good shots of them in episode 7, iirc, to showcase this, with the perfect bored look on all their faces to boot. Nevermind characterisation, just remembering their names is as close to mission impossible as it can get (there are character cards around the middle of each episode, sure, but even those are bad because the text is in the background that the characters just cover). They do a lot of running around (many times literally) to be able to perform together at the - wait, what even is that Ayanagi Festival, exactly? Frankly, if we ever got an explanation, I forgot, because it's that uninteresting to try to keep up with. And all this running around in 11 episodes, only for the thing to finally happen in episode 12... and then skydive into the post-credits scene, way beyond that, where they're not even just third years but even one step higher? Talk about pacing. Then the catchphrases add a layer of extra annoyance too: even with a big cast, one would be more than enough, especially if heard in every damn episode. Here we have three, and even a fourth has a cameo, because something has to trigger a completely out-of-place transformation.

I'm not sure how this happened. I watched it because of a sort of principle: I've suffered through the first two, I might as well pick the third up as well. I'd rather like to avoid having to go for a fourth round though.
