I've got to say this but it's pretty under rated in the west It's popular in Japan but for me I think it didn't really caught the attention for the weebs in the west. I didn't watch all the episodes yet so I'm pulling this from episode 1

There are the reason why it's good.
1. It's like love live
2. This anime didn't show any male characters
3. The animation and VA is really good
4. The characters are very likable
5. The concept is really great and you can't find it on most anime


The downsides though are
1. Introducing all the characters in one episode.
2. It feels like rush


Tell me what do you guys think

Revue Starlight has a solid and dedicated fanbase and has received a lot of attention from reviewers and anitubers, you just can't get people to watch it that easily due to its cutesy idol looks I guess.

I mean the anime is similar to love live

1. Talks about girls and there dreams to reach something.

2. It's similar an idol group but in this case it's like a musical play

Good that the giraffe understands what's going on
I find it entertaining but I'm not sure what it is what I'm watching
I'm sure it must be based on something, though

Uh wat I don't think the anime is like Love Live at all.

I would compare it to Ikuhara's work like Utena and Penguindrum. The style, symbolism, yuri undertones, etc.

It is easily my favorite of the season so far.

I dont understand the hatred for the comparison with Love Live.
The shows is a multimedia franchise with Musical Theater, 2 manga and a new RPG for mobile, just like Love Live, Idolm@aster and Uma Musume (even the character designs are similar).

Perhaps the only difference with these series is the remarkable animation and direction of Revue, but you're disparaging other franchises when are consuming exactly the same type of product.

why not? A comparison is a valid way of classifying something. For example, X series is good because it's like evangelion.
Yes, that the anime don't have any man is a strange criteria, but even so it can be valid for someone who likes that kind of show like K-On, Love Live, Asobi Asobase, Urahara, Comic Girls, Girl Last Tour, Sora no woto, etc.

What makes it stand out for me is the direction of the fight scenes and some scenes that are so well thought out that it makes them funnier like the one from the 5th episode where Hikari keeps appearing after Mahiru bends over or gives a little bit of space just enough for her to pop up which made the scene memorable for me.

I'd say that it's nothing like Love Live, I don't really see any significant similiraties between the two apart from them containing singing characters. I'd say it's more like Symphogear honestly.

I also don't agree with those downsides. Introducing a lot of characters in a single episode isn't really new. Besides, they give out separate episode for these characters introduced to give them more background. As for it being rushed, I honestly don't feel that way. I'd say their taking their time and the pace feels fine.

My problems with the show is the fact that despite having pretty amazing scenes, I don't feel sympathetic about the characters nor do I even know the value of what their fighting for is worth and it would have been nicer if the characters sung while fighting rather than music in the background. I'd think it would make those scenes much more amazing.

That's your brain's fault for not being able to understand the anime's meaning, and the rest of your body for not being able to enjoy it.

It is ok show. I give it 6/10 or 7/10 max. THere is far better anime in this season, like Banana Fish which in my opinion deserve much higher popularity and ranking (it is better than overlord and hero academia)


ALso, I disagree with the guy who said Planet with. That show is pure garbage.

As far as ep 4 of Banana Fish, it's fine, nothing special tho, idk for the rest of the episodes, these american style anime like Banana Fish/91 days etc don't appeal to me tho cause I feel like they're too cliche without any new ideas.

For Starlight, it's pretty unique and original, I've never seen an anime that I could compare it to, some say Utena but sadly I haven't watched that nor do I think I wanna watch an 1997 anime. :/

Each have their taste, I think for you to love this anime you need to like/tolerate the moe trope, appreciate the animation and ost, especially Japanese, if you were to watch it Dub then I think it destroys the point of watching this anime, and obviously pay attention to the small details that they give every single episode that foreshadow things that will happen episodes later.

Dark horse you say.

I don't know, it was definitely one of the heavier hitters in terms of production quality but pretty lukewarm story wise. I guess you could argue the story relies heavily on the viewer buying into its values and the heavy abstraction being intriguing but. Strip that all away and the base storyline is pretty bland.
Personally a shame to me, not only was the music and animation quality great its from same creators as Barakamon and Made in Abyss... :/
Well good that apparently there is small subsection that think it was amazing, though, I'm sure the studio will need that support.
