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

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...

Defining Reverse Harem Through Different Lenses: Reverse Harem Garden's Bloom Index, Joseimuke, and Why Choose

Originally posted as an editorial piece in Reverse Harem Gazette: Issue # 44, July 2025. With revisions. from Hajimete Koi o Shita Hi ni Yomu Hanashi Hello wallflowers! I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how reverse harem means something a little different to each of us. Reverse harem has always been a wild garden. It’s a trope with no strict rules, open to endless spins and reinterpretations. At one point, someone even got upset with me because our definitions didn’t line up. (Re: Earl & Fairy on Myanimelist Forum). That’s exactly why I created Levels of Reverse Harem classification, which I’ll now be calling The Bloom Index. See original post here . It’s also fascinating to see how different perspectives add nuance to our understanding of this trope. from sakaimii In joseimuke (media aimed at women, especially games), you’ll find subcategories like otome games, bishonen with no romance, and boys’ love. Otome games overlap with five flowers and four flowers, wh...
