(This is my first review)
WARNING: Do not watch this show if you have a problem with the following--singing and/or music, harems, or BISHOUNENS!
When I first heard about this show, I already had suspected that it was going to be a harem, for I had already watched La Corda d'Oro, which also had a musical theme to it.
However, the only differences... Uta no Prince-Sama Maji Love 1000% doesn't center around magic, and the talent is all real.
Story: I gave the story a nine simply because I've gotten up to episode 7 and only now has a plot began to unfold. Each of the characters have
...
their own separate back-stories, and they all begin to center around their passions for the main heroine Haruka Nanami.
Art: Now, I will use my weakness for bishounens to give the art a nine! And not just the guys! The landscaping art out by the patio, the snow scenes, the rain, and even the academy is absolutely breathtaking, and the characters are all well drawn out... My only real flaw in the art? Haruka's eyes tended to freak me out sometimes. Maybe they colored her eyes a bit too much. Otherwise, I found ways to overlook that.
Sound: A perfect ten for the sake of song! All of the voice acting was flawless, and the singing... TREMENDOUS. I really admire that they picked the right voice to fit each character--some surprises for me including Yuuichi Nakamura as their teacher: cross-dressing Ringo, Kenichi Suzumura as Masato (Which I didn't even recognize until I caught a slight hint of his normal "cocky" voice while he was singing), and even Mamoru Miyano as Tokiya! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
Character: A nine! Most of the characters had their own spunk to them, and my overall favorites at this moment are Otoya Ittoki, Masato Hijirikawa, and Tokiya Ichinose (No particular order), simply because their personalities were among some of the most human. My least favorite character? Haruka. She just seems too... plain. I even question how the guys fall for her sometimes. I hope that we get to see more of her true personality during episode 8.
Enjoyment: While there were certain flaws to the story that could be tweaked, and even certain moments that made me go "WHAT WAS THAT?" in an angry tone, I have to say that I overall enjoy this show so far because it's rather... cute.
Overall: I'm torn between a nine and a ten because of the character development, but if it solely came down to the sound and the art, the series would be a ten in my book!
If you like music, breathtaking art, or even just cute guys, then take a look at Uta no Prince-Sama Maji Love 1000%!
