Uta no Prince Sama 2000% (2/13)





After settling down at the master course, a new character arrives! Cecil, a prince from the desert. He claims to love Haruka and says he doesn't want to become an idol?! His senior, Camus makes him compete against the members of STARISH in a battle of fundamentals. Who shall win?



Cecil's Song





Episode Two: Reincarnation of Love

This episode was even better than the first one! I was completely in love with this entire episode, and I think I'm in love with Cecil! This was his first real debut episode, and the song for the episode was his! He is introduced as a prince from a desert country, but it is suggested by the song (spoilers) that he is in fact Kukuru the cat from the first season, and Haruka's love and singing transformed him into a human?! (spoilers).


The only weird part about the episode was that Cecil keeps professing his love for Haruka, which I think is rushing it a little. He doesn't want to be an idol, he just wants to be with her and sing her songs. I think he's probably going to develop into my favorite male character in this harem, and I hope they end up together at the end of the 13th episode.


The episode got even more interesting with STARISH competing against Cecil in a card contest. Camus, Cecil's senior, tries to get him to listen even though he has no interest in learning about being an idol. In the end after Cecil loses the contest, he agrees to study to become an idol. My least favorite part about this master course thing is that there isn't allowed to be romantic relationships (but nobody should follow those rules).


So overall I'm loving this, and can't wait until the next episode releases! This is my favorite of the season so far.

This Episode: 10/10

First Impression: Uta no Prince Sama 2000% (1/13)





The six members of ST☆RISH, who have made their shocking idol debut, and Nanami Haruka, who has just begun her career as a composer, have advanced to Saotome Academy's master course. As they continue their lessons in earnest to learn how to be top idols and composers, they join Shining Agency and begin to work as entertainers. But before that, some senpai idols and strange foreign idols with a few odd habits stand before them, and they end up getting dragged into the race for a mysterious "Newcomer Award." 








Episode One: Poison Kiss

Having watched the first season of Uta no Prince Sama, I was completely excited that there was going to be a second season. I love the art, the characters, and the beautiful music that this anime series possesses. What I didn't expect when starting season 2, was that it would be even better than the first season. 


We meet up again with Haruka, and the gang of STARISH as they debut into the professional singing world. This time they're taking the Master Course, and are living under the same roof! Introduced are a new set of characters, the elite group called Poison Kiss that are at the Master Course to help STARISH as mentors. Most of them act like jerks though, and bully the newbies, as they are now roomed together.


I like where the plot is going, and there's also this mysterious new goodlooking guy who looks like he came from Aladdin. Last season Otokya was my favorite, but I have a feeling that Cecil will replace him with this new season. 

The only bad things I can really say about this so far is that I didn't like the ending concert as much as the first seasons, and I felt like they didn't quite capture the same atmosphere for the anime as last season.


I'm really pumped for this series, and can't wait to see how Poison Kiss and STARISH get along. Will definitely follow this show the entire season.
