As a long time fan of the Ensemble Stars franchise, I enjoyed this anime a lot. Simply getting to see the characters I love moving around in anime format was great, and it was very fun sharing in the hype with my fellow fans. HOWEVER. The anime as a whole when looking past my love for the franchise was very poorly done. I understand that they were trying to give every character from the game screen time but considering that they were trying to showcase the main story of the original game- which is extremely meaty- it just didn't work out very well. The main ... plotline is nowhere near as compelling as it is in the game- and maybe I only felt that way because I was experiencing it for a second time- but I think it really missed the mark. As for the tiny portion of the giant pool of in-game events that were chosen to be adapted into the anime... Well let's just say it's done worse than the main plot. They literally just shoved bits and pieces of the events in, and although a few got full episodes such as Ryuseitai's Supernova event from the game, they are missing important details and even major plot points. All in all, I wouldn't recommend this anime unless you are already an Enstars fan. If you want to get into the franchise and don't know where to start, the Ensemble Stars Wiki is a great place. From there I suggest looking up translations of the stories and/or downloading the new English version of the game.
