Oh so finally, we get to see the pioneer princes again since their debut. About damn time. Too bad they don't remain on screen for long..shame.

Not sure what Cecil's deal is in this episode. He is pretty direct with his feelings. The song this episode was okay I guess. Cecil does have the skills to become a superstar imo.

This episode felt like it was 2x longer than usual. That's not a good thing.

Glad to finally see the other sempai's even if it was only a little here and there.

Yes!!! Cecil joins STARISH. His song was beautiful and it goes really well with the others. But OMG, the king wants Cecil back because he found out the curse was lifted? Assuming this issue will happen after Tokiya's episode next week. I was hoping to hear another debut song with Quartet Night

Edit: So after the Tokiya episode, Cecil will leave them and they go after him. Mostly likely in episode 10.

I still don't get why Cecil gets so many screen time but it was a good ep
The thing I didn't like was that the muses wrote the lyrics for Cecil's song
and that weird letter from the king

There were lots of nice screenshots, I just love the animation and artwork from UtaPri
Such nice moments with everyone
but Masato an Tokiya seriously are getting paired, nooo Otoya >.<

the senpai need to get more lines, I want more of them. whyyyy
lol at that heart that bumped into Reiji, he's so cute

When did Natsuki fall in love with Cecil? lol
Syo is such a tsundere~ I so ship him with Cecil

I'm glad we got to see the senpais a little this episode, hopefully we'll get to see them more c: Reiji and Ai are such cuties
And I'm glad Cecil finally joined STARISH too~

This season focused on Cecil and the sempai's too. Mostly Cecil. How he needs to understand the STARISH life and so he can be a part of them. But first he needs to resolve the issue back at Agnapolis.

I thought so, Cecil's ep. (with that end last ep.) with "Hoshi no Fantasia (星のファンタジア)" since last time was not his solo ep. (just an ep. introducing Cecil to rest of ST☆RISH).

"Field trip" with the sempai group! Cecil was surprised about the rest of ST☆RISH's reaction when seeing he finally got his song, thinking that he finally reached his goal, which it was more (the curse from being a cat). Then it was changed for larger. Wow, it feels kind of cheating with using the "Muse's" power to get the lyric (half joking)! It's a lot better than his second song, which is available for sampling. Cecil officially being part of ST☆RISH using his song.

That end with the king writing to him about going back because he is freed from the curse... he might have to do something to be able to reach to that ED (the live).

I feel like I need to point out something very valid to the people here.

Cecil DID NOT cheat with his lyrics.

What Cecil did was pray to the Muses for guidance, and then use his connection to them for inspiration for the lyrics.

It was not the Muses who wrote the lyrics for him, but gave him the push he needed to channel both the song he envisioned and their blessing. (That pencil didn't move on its own people.)

If you need to look at it from another perspective. What Cecil did was basically the same as religious people in a state of enlightenment.

Their actions and words are their own, but they took inspiration and wisdom from their respective gods. The same could be said for types of musical artists like Christian bands.

So no, Cecil did not cheat on his lyrics, he just writes them with more than just Haruka in mind (but the Muses as well, and now the people of the world).

It's called 'much needed character development.' They need to make up for him not being in the first season much at all.

Are we even getting a Tokiya epsiode after this? Next episode seems to look like as if they will carry on what they left off in this episode since Cecil is now basically part of the group, everyone will look out for him.

I don't quite agree, for the simple fact that he read the lyrics as if he had never seen them before. If not for that, I'd agree with you.

Also, I just don't like Cecil very much, so I might be slightly biased xD

Give me more of the senpai! (And Sho, because I loooove Sho)

that describes my thoughts pretty well. it just feels too forced, like they try really hard to make him likeable, but instead of it a lot of people (including me) are a bit annoyed that he appears so often in contrast to the other main characters and the new characters (who still have gotten rarely any screen time and it's already episode 8). and this whole curse thing still seems too much out of place.

Cecil wasn't that annoying in this episode. One thing I can't understand is that he sounds like a retard when speaking but when he sings, he suddenly sounds like a... well, a pro singer lol.
And he joined the Starish, nobody saw that coming...
Did Ren always call him 'Cesshi'? Awkward.
So the next ep is Tokiya's episode?

I was bored actually until the first half ended. Decent episode. Come to think of it,doesn't Haruka get uncomfortable around all those boys around her?There is not even a single girl..(although it is a bit late to say this:P)

Nice to see the Senpais featued in this episode

The singing was kind of cheesy, and the song was meh

What's with this fantasy element? Curses? Muses?

So Cecil is just gonna up and leave them?? I wasn't a big fan of him anyways, but I'm guessing they're gonna follow him and try to bring him back?

I hope the next episodes is Tokiya's

I actually like Cecil. At least one guy not hiding his emotions toward a girl.
Btw, I loved the setting - one girl, 11 sexy bishounens, wow.

Haha :D I guess that the seiyuu-san wanted to make him sound foreign-ish, that's why he sounds like a robot, I guess.
Not that I mind it, he's cute <3
I want to play his route~!

Natsuki glomping Cecil. xD

I wonder who cursed Cecil in the first place and why?

Lol for a minute there this sounded like porn.

「もう…がまんできない…」

Ren's nickname for Cecil is Cesshi haha.

I don't know why everyone was laughing, but it was nice. <3

Can this anime get any more sparkly~?

Cecil left awfully quick after the letter. x_x

I hope in the end all the guys realize how clueless Haruka will remain, and that she'll never choose any of them because she doesn't want to hurt anyone (although she already kind of has by not rejecting any of them from the start).

I like that the guys have been getting along lately despite the feelings they have for Haruka and hope it stays that way.

I was hopeful for a bit of fanservice I mean there was hotsprings and it's an anime!!! Nothing x_x and a sudden huge event happening close to the end. Blahh

I like Cecil though but sometimes it's really random how they put him in.

Seriously though does Taki NOT get an episode?? He hasn't really been in it which is upsetting.

Want to talk more about this message/comment on my page

This. He's not that bad, but I feel like the show would be fine with the original six + senpai quartet + teachers.

Cecil sucks... So first he is sure he wants te become an idol and sing together with the other members of STARISH. And all of a sudden he just leaves because his dad wants him to come back. That doesn't make any sense.

This makes me laugh hard! xD

Hoshi no Fantasia is such a great song! I like that the main guys join in but the part where they sang 'la la la la' was awkward to watch lol

Anyway my fav ep! Along with Masa's ep. Otoya calls Masato 'Masa'? So cute..

I feel a little slow. I thought Cecil was a cat before on purpose (so he could watch the affairs of mortals without being seen). I'm pretty sure they should consult Shining before they put a new person in the group...
Also, the kings timing is seriously suckish
