I loved watching this anime, the story is so simple, yet speaks volumes in and of itself. It is just a simple dream split between four friends to make music and improve their skills, and how their formation of JELLE impacts those around them. Everything from the visuals to the music, to the storytelling was phenomenally done, and I hope that there is more content of these four friends, even if it seems like there might not be now.

This anime also managed to touch on some darker themes as well, especially with one character, who was a former idol was treated both in their ... idol days and by their own family. Another thing I really appreciated was the show's overall message: just be who you know you are, and don't be afraid to let yourself (and your gifts) shine, even if people think you're weird or will judge you for doing so. It was a simple message, yet it was presented with care and love. I wish I would've had this anime when I was younger, it was a message that young me needed to hear more often growing up, and I am so glad that it exists now- even if it is somewhat niche.

I truly admire the way that this anime manages to make you care DEEPLY about these teenagers and their problems, dreams, and talents so early on, and how you can watch them grow throughout the show- despite it only being 12 episodes long. This anime is going to become one of my comfort animes, and I look forward to rewatching it someday.

Honestly, this anime was an amazing watch. I loved every minute, from the second I watched the first episode and the opening, to the last ending episode. It is such a ride full of emotion, heart, and sparkle. Despite it's darker sub-plots, and expose of the idol/entertainment industry's dark side, the anime still manages to find little moments where it can be fun and lighthearted, which I really have come to appreciate.

All the music in this anime is a banger, and the animation style is so pretty. The characters were all well developed, and this series will definitely be added to my favorites ... list.

CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!

Honestly, this anime has a simple plot- two people meet through an MMO game and slowly fall in love- and that simplistic plotline is done pretty well. The characters are enjoyable, and there's some tension and occasional bad things that happen, but overall the show maintains a positive tone which works quite well for it.

Generally, there were not many things I disliked, although one of them was definitely the "love triangle" trope, but I usually just dislike that trope in general, so it's just a me thing. I believe that this anime made it work decently, and I liked that the people involved ... in the triangle didn't really have bad blood for each other or try to pull off a sabotage, and when things didn't work were able to accept it so maturely and were understanding.

Another thing that I think worked really well was the final confession scene between Akkane and Yamada, that whole scene was just so well done and very sweet, it definitely made the best use of both characters' chemistry and their personalities. Definitely one of my top 10 anime confession scenes that I've seen.

I definitely can see myself coming back to this anime in the future and potentially being a huge comfort anime for me, and I really hope that we can get more content from these characters.
