What a boss:


I never knew these guys had sword skills. Well, it's just acting anyways.

>Embrace
>Katsu!

Oh and of course Cecil seems to be his usual self. Never change. The shounei-ai themes were strong this episode. Well, the audition needs to be serious anyways so I expected that. Masato = boss. :3

So I guess they're following episodes featuring individual characters now. Well, I'm glad he passed this week anyways.

I laughed so hard I cried. Just because of the Tokiya x Masato scenese.

I love Masato, poor baby. His episode was just about pining over Haruka, really not much more than that. I'm disappointed, but at the same time I'm so pleased with what happened in this episode regardless that I'm not complaining.

What a great performance from Masato. I felt I was watching Rurouni Kenshin. Oh my Tokiya XD. Great song from Masato and those action scenes too. Cecil is starting to see why Haruka loves STARISH. Next week is Otoya's episode.

Oh man, I can't see Tokiya in the same way ever again.... ._.
Anyways, I think Masato has one of the best singing voices in the group. Also, he was so cute at the end.

"They sparkle and it makes me want to watch them forever." Yup, basically sums it all up right there. Eeh hehehe. So cheesy but what can I say I like my cheese. :D

Tokiya looked too cute with that flower in his hair. Glad we finally get to see a comedic take with him. Cute ep. Pretty enjoyable.

Cecil was way hotter in the first season, his voice was a bit deeper too, especially when he was singing, and he was more mysterious, i swear I thought he was a ghost until i saw episode3. And i gotta say i don't like how childish and clingy they made him this season, they should've kept him the way he was. But i do like how he's the only one saying how he feels, their all thinking it but he just does it.

Now it's funny though because season one was leaning SO MUCH towards Haruka and Tokiya she just couldn't leave him alone and we all know she wanted to be HIS partner for graduation but now he seems more distant than he was last season, the only ones who haven't changed are the red head, shou, the blonde with the glasses, and ren.

Masato is perhaps my favourite of the guys, he's drawn reeeally prettily *_* and his voice actor is one of the only mains who can actually sing well enough not to make me wince.

Btw, am I in the minority for liking Haruka? XD She's the least annoying reverse harem lead I have seen in a long time, and it kinda makes me sad that she'll likely end this series in STARISH's shadow like the last one. I mean I get that the story is about the idols, but I'd like to see her career take off in general at the end. It's obvious she'll never get together with any of the guys (unless the writers decide to go the lol route and make her princess of whatever-land that cecil is prince of - seriously that made me face/palm so hard...), so it'd be only fair to give her fame and success as a trade ;)

Anyway, this ep was imo improvement over the third one and I hope that trend continues.

this episode was hilarious!! xD
I couldn't stop laughing when Tokiya was having to say "those" lines in that outfit. The fact that he accepted the girl's role so easily (with no complaints whatsoever) was just as hilarious
Also, Hijirikawa...never change xD
LOL I had to keep reminding myself that this is based off an otome game & not a BL game xD
but it is nice to the guys work with each other this time around, rather than Haruka being nice and them just being filled with "passion".

Masato's ep. with Koizakura as character song during the audition.

He's getting an offer for auditioning a jidaigeki stage. lol @ Ichinose as female character! Tomb seeing of his grandpa, and the saying. Then everyone is helping out with the practice. Cecil is jealous of and curious about STARISH. He's helping out?? and also understanding what Camus told him.

Haha, that episode was perfect. Tokiya was killing me.

How Haruka would have Cecil alone with her in her room of all places and not expect anything to happen is beyond me. That's our airhead.

I loved Masato's song! Can't wait for the release. His voice has always been one of my favorites. I am one happy fan.

Can't wait for Natsuki's ep.

To be honest, I've always wanted to watch an episode whereas the guys are the only characters interacting with each other, but of course.. It always has something to do with Haruka. Not much of a surprise since this is a reversible harem and season 1 and the previous episode shows that.
I was actually praising this episode when the part where Ichinose became the girl and not Haruka, but then Cecil just had to suggest her.. Booo! It was entertaining while it lasted~ (I was going to be OK if this was actually referenced to a BL game xD)
Anyways, my friend and I watch this since we came for the songs but not their "relationship." (For some reason, I think of them as this whole family that love and protect each other~)
Also, my other friend that doesn't really watch anime came up with an idea of letting the guys fight to the death for the girl and the last one standing gets her. I laughed because I knew they would do anything to achieve that xD

Best episode of this season! Masato is always win! Somehow reminded me of Zura from Gintama, lol. And Tokiya's performance was super awesome too. :D

The only character I despise in this anime is Ren. Freaking annoying. I hope we get over with his episode earlier in the season than later. May affect how I score this season just based on that. -_-

If they plan to keep going in order of when their CDs are being released then it'll be; Otoya, Ren, Natsuki, Tokiya next. Cecil is in that mix too, but he already had an episode so idk what's happening with that. He's been getting some development each episode so maybe they'll finish off with him, like they did with Tokiya in the first series.

And maybe some senpai episodes too ;__;

for me masato was always the least likeable character. i don't hate him, but i just think he's boring. this cold attitude doesn't even seem cool, just plainly... boring. because of that this episode was pretty average imo. and it was completely predictable as well.
but the part with tokiya was amazing, hands down. i laughed so hard :D that really was some amazing acting.

It was nice to see the boys work together, and yes, that Tokiya accepted his role so easily was hilarious. xD And that the others were totes fine watching the scene too. But in the business world, you can't turn your lip up at things. I wish it were the same in casual circles too.

I love Masato's singing. But Masato/Haruka is my least favorite pairing after Shou/Haruka, even though I loved their interaction in season 1.

Tokiya/Haruka was definitely more obvious in season 1 - wonder if they'll have that sort of interaction again or if it'll just stay more in line with the other boys now.

I like Haruka, but she is a bit boring to me sometimes, probably because she does take a backseat to the boys. (So many boys and only one girl. XP)

Wouldn't it be interesting if they did a multiple choice romance ending outside of a no-romance one?

As a side note, a lot of people complain about 'too much yaoi' in anime these days, but guess what, it's here to stay and only bound to get stronger as people become more accepting of it. To me it should be just as natural as the het or lesbian fanservice. (Not to mention the fact that it's not even yaoi, it's only BL subtext most of the time.)

It's a phrase samurai's tend to yell before the "finishing blow" I'm not sure if it has an exact "meaning" ....though the closest thing might be "prepare yourself!"

It's kinda like how in Kendo they're supposed to yell "MEN!" before attempting a decisive blow.

And Nanami saves the day ahain! Last time by being clumsy, this time by not being there at all. I have to say, I like episodes with less Nanami though.

I like Masato's singing voice. One of the best in Starish, imo.
