Shoujo☆Kageki Revue Starlight
|
Upon watching Revue Starlight series, one simply needs to know of how it is primarily made from the Takarazuka Revue, the school and culture behind the training of actresses and the competition for who becomes top star. Compare it's nature to AKB48, and there are so many parallels it's staggering. Having seen Revue Starlight will enrich your understanding of AKB0048 and it's concept of idol competitions for singles and for centre position (called position 0 in both cases).

If you are in for something even more chill, try out Tamayura. It's a longer series but is one of the most mellow relaxing anime you'll find, set in one of the most peaceful towns in japan.

One Off is a very similarly relaxing, albeit short, anime. Nice countryside scenery, and comparably mellow pacing.

There are a lot of similarities in presentation between these two series. While YuYuYu is much darker and has more drama, both address the nature of the universe they're in, and address it in a very grand, yet simple way. They both do an excellent job of presenting situations with a contrast of silence and sound: a full sound-stage and no overuse of effects where unneeded. And they both have great soundtracks to boot!

They have a similar progression throughout. Starting from a sort of practice game in the beginning to finding itself trailing down a darker path as the series progresses. -Both series have several people caught up in an event motivated by someone with a specific goal.
