Anime Review: Uta no Prince Sama Maji Love ~Legend Star~

Uta no Prince Sama Maji Love ~Legend Star~ (Season 4) 13 episodes

The show picks up right where the last season ends off. But the winning group is unhappy with the result and another contest will be held again to decide once and for all of whose group will perform for the Triple S. While preparing for the contest, each Starish and Heavens members pairs up for a song composed by Nanami.


It's been forever since I finished season three. Uta no Prince Sama Maji Love ~Legend Star~ is in the bottom of my watchlist but after watching the trailers of Uta no Prince Sama Maji Love Kingdom and blogging several updates of the film's success, well it piqued my interest again. After swearing to hold off idol anime for a while, I picked up the last TV series from the frachise. As I read my previous reviews, I noticed a love and hate pattern. I didn't enjoy seasons 1 and 3. But I loved season 2 and....now season 4. If you're curious with my past reviews, you will see how my reviews has evolved (for the better I hope). Gomen nasai! Also, I have not played the otome game.

I appreciate Uta Pri now compared to before. The high quality of animation is so pleasing to the eyes. This is after being used to the distorted faces of the last idol anime I've watched. It was a visual treat  and most especially the bishonen which I only realized just now are so manly. I also like the contrast of the color palettes of the three groups. I have no particular favorites but I'm just relaxing here and basking in the beauty of all them bishies. And need we say more about the music? With its popularity, it makes sense that Uta Pri has the budget to get the best in all aspects of production.

Now that we're past with the pleasantries, let's get to the nitty-gritty. I've braced my expectations to a minimum. It started with the same old calling of Nanami with different nicknames and let's-feature-a -bishonen-pair-per-episode. I mean after four seasons they would run out of idol related stories to spin. Right? Uta Pri has the most number of sequels in all reverse harem anime with the same set of characters and continuous storyline finishing off in a movie. But I am fairly impressed with the story angles they created for each pair. Sure it had cheesy moments but it was very easy to finish it unlike the last anime I watched...*coughs* Phantom. And most of all, I liked how they neatly closed the character conflicts particualarly Natsuki, Masato, and Otoya.   

My confidence for reverse harem radar is zero after watching straight three flower and two flowers levels. But oh yeah it's back to full meter again after watching Uta Pri. I should be happy but I hate to say this, at this point, it's overkill for all three groups to fight over one girl. This is the part where I find it forced. Okay, the other two groups are after her musical prowess but even still wouldn't she be biased with Starish? I think Starish has the best song among the three. And they are treating her as if she's a music factory churning non-stop songs. I mean that's her job and she has the talent...

But kudos for still trying to make Nanami important from start to finish. I had this warm fuzzy feeling when they all hugged her near the end. It's like their goodbye for her. It's not yet goodbye though since there's still the movie but they have not shown her in the key visuals or trailers at all. So I wonder...No spoilers please! :) In the latest smartphone game, Shining, Nanami is not included. But one thing's for sure, I have rediscovered my love again for Uta Pri. And now I am so pumped up for the movie! Weeks after I finished I was still humming Legend Star. Yeah, I'm so late I know. LOL

Who knows, this might turn into one of your treasured favorites, too!

All-Time Top Ten Reverse Harem Anime

Hello Wallflowers! I am not going to do a decade in review since I did that already a couple of years ago. but I am loooong overdue for my top 10 anime. I actually made one coincidentally a decade ago but it's a consolidated top 10 of everything from anime, manga and dramas as the titles are fewer back in 2010. I should have done it sooner but it's the nagging feeling that I should finish everything before I can post this. What if there's a hidden gem in my backlog that piled up beginning 2015 (due to pregnancy)?  Fast forward to last year and major life events later, I have finished nine anime in eight months. It felt like forever. And after that, I found out I could actually start the list even without watching the backlog. LOL But the good thing is I was able to finish it and that has put off a lot of guilt feelings from me. I mean who blogs about reverse harem and never watches past the first episode??? Sadly, I don't remember most of the story of the anime...

English Otome Mobile Apps

English otome apps are now available in smartphones! The art and the bishies are eye candy and the   premises are engaging. These are all paid apps but they all come with free prologues to tempt your wallets. Finally,  English games that are accessible! I wish I can just pay it in my local currency rather than credit card. "Pirates in Love" is the first title of Voltage Romance Sims. It's available both in itunes and play. You'll have to pay for each characters and epilogues. I really want to play Eduardo! "My Forged Wedding" is also from Voltage and are also available in itunes and play . The prologue doesn't give away the details as to why exactly they need to fake the wedding but check out the video above to have an idea why. I'm gravitating to Saeki (the ladies man) and Yamato (the rude guy). Also, the "uncle" seems to be play-able character in the future. Interesting. ...

Hello wallflowers! This is Ayreesa. These 18 titles span 2007–2019 , my ultimate scanlation era . I didn't include series that already have anime adaptations and focused on stories I’ve finished or followed through many volumes. They are arranged in the order I read them. If you are new to reverse harem, treat these as hidden gems of reverse harem, but be warned that some tropes may feel dated or problematic today. This is Part 1 of 4 of Reverse Harem Garden  18th birthday series .  In the Philippines, a debut ball includes dancing with 18 boys who each offer a rose—known as the 18 Roses—and receiving 18 candles and messages from girls.

Light Novel Review: I Reincarnated as Evil Alice so the Only Thing I'm Courting is Death!

I Reincarnated as Evil Alice so the Only Thing I'm Courting is Death~( Akuyaku Alice ni Tensei Shita node, Koi mo Shigoto mo Houki Shimasu!)  Written by Chii Kurusu Art by: Minato Yaguchi Translated by: Emma Schumacker   While carrying out her secret executioner duties Alice bumps her head and realized she is reincarnated into her favorite otome game which won the Deadliest Game of the Year award. Together with the bad boy butler, Jack; sinful man, Leeds; the Tweedle twins and walking death flag, Earl Knightley.  Disclaimer: A digital review copy of this book was provided by the publisher. She knows the ins and outs of the story but the routes are not moving forward just like it goes in the game.   I felt lost at first too with the story and was wandering aimlessly with Alice. And when she decided her purpose, I was not convinced. It is fast-paced it's just that the premise was different in how the story played out.  But those who are patient are rewar...

Manga Review: Shugo Chara! Jewel Joker Vol. 1~ A Nostalgic Return and a New Chapter Begins

Manga Review: Shugo Chara! Jewel Joker Vol. 1 by Peach-Pit Amu is now in middle school and tasked with going undercover as a transfer student at Arcana Academy to solve a mystery. Shugo Chara! Jewel Joker continues the story of Amu and the Guardians. A review copy was provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. See  Anime Reviews . When I started Shugo Chara , I felt like I was about to cry and had to put it down for another day. I don’t know why I was getting emotional. When I finally picked it up again, at first I was disappointed that she transferred schools away from the other Guardians, but as we learn more about the new school and the new characters, I’ve come around to the change. It makes sense for the story to move forward instead of repeating the same setup from elementary school. The seamless recap is such a nostalgia lane. It’s like a knot of feelings tangled inside me seeing each of them again—the Guardians, the Charas! Ugh, I missed Ran, Miki, Su, and Dia...
