oh, they're singing! sing-sing!! and every episode - new song! (not counting the opening and ending). Not a cartoon, just a concert!
(and in one of the first episodes they play “Chizhik-Fawn” in a four-hand duet on the piano))) true, true! our natural little siskin, one to one! just different words))
A harem of boys for girly pleasure)) and no cupidity at all! Well, just think about falling in love on the sly, embarrassing things and shooting eyes)) but everyone is in love with MUSIC! and nothing else) and so - exclusively " labor Relations", mutual understanding and friendly support of comrades)) but it is forbidden to twist love! Otherwise they will be expelled from the academy))
The gist is this: a girl came from the village and by some miracle entered a chic academy where show business talent is being forged. (it’s very convenient for them - the academy prepares stars, the same academy then becomes an agency and production center - they will promote it, publish it, give it a kick! And you just study and work until you lose your pulse, nothing more is required from you for a star career)))
So, the girl fell in love with a star and decided to definitely write a song for him. That’s why she came straight from the village to the star academy)) and she didn’t know how to read music - she learned it in courses, in one night, at Stakhanov’s rapid pace)) a workaholic girl (like all the characters in the anime)))
Well, then it started! The course turned out to be full of the cutest guys! and they all fell for this “ordinary” girl)) (can you imagine, even the local ghost cat was attracted to her with the purest intentions))
Well, she - she honestly blinked and didn’t know who to choose as her “partner for the exam”)) that is, she, of course, like a decent young lady, fell for one specific one. but to refuse everyone else, to offend such wonderful guys!.. it was beyond her girlish strength)) in general, I won’t tell you how she got out of this situation, see for yourself))
The series is short, a complete story. no magic, no monsters or akumas (well, the ghost cat can be chalked up to insomnia)) If you're in the mood to giggle, it'll go just fine! It’s such an easy cartoon, no tension, everyone is mentally friendly, and if they compete, then it’s in a decorous and noble way)
Only at the end the sentimentality was brought to tears, it was just a drama-tragedy on a production theme)))
((by the way, it turns out they filmed the game) so the girl in the toy probably went through all the guys in turn!))
By the way, the heroine has a very strange look))
everyone has normal eyes - but this one glows)) as if in childhood she was picking her ear with a flashlight, and the battery got stuck)) apparently that’s why the guys fell for her so much - they were hypnotized by her “burning gaze”))
It’s interesting that the number of saffron milk caps here is higher than the average anime statistics) and they are all not relatives)
And this is a kawaii couple - childhood friends))
we learned to play the violin since we were in diapers)) (well, yes, yes, we are yaoischits, we know, of course, what kind of friends they are)) one is a terrible psycho-maniac,
and the second is a compulsive victim of childhood fears (which this maniac brought up))) look at the kind of bullying the unfortunate man has to endure!)))
(by the way, he looks like the gardener from Dvoretsky, only smarter, as it were))
And their teacher is great, she’s just lovely!)) by the way, this is not at all... oh, I won’t say!))) better see for yourself;)
and a few more pictures - show off))
And I love this arrogant one! especially since my favorite seiyuu voiced it) oh, what a voice! what a mischief))
I'm not a fan of harems. The anime itself for a long time was lying on the “abandoned” list, and I didn’t even think about changing anything. But one day I came across a game called Uta no Prince-sama: Shining Live. I really liked the game, the characters were interesting, and the songs and voices simply enchanted me. The desire to watch anime grew...
In the end, I watched an episode... two... five... the whole season... I'm delighted! This is a good and relaxing comedy. It was nice to listen to familiar music and see familiar characters. I learned more than I expected about the characters and expect the same from future seasons.
Plot It's not here and shouldn't be.
Characters all different. Boys for every taste. charmed me at first sight, and annoyed me not only throughout the anime, but also the game. All the characters have something interesting: skeletons in the closet, phobias, stories from the past, relationships between each other.
GG is here to comply with the canon. According to the plot visual novel it is she who pushes the characters to unite, forgive, etc. So you can’t go anywhere without her. Although... I expected it to be much worse. It didn't disappoint, but you shouldn't pin your hopes on it.
This is a relaxing anime where you can laugh and be touched.
My rating: 8/10.
Quite an ordinary harem for girls. A faceless GG, in whose place any girl can imagine herself, and a bunch of guys for every taste who hover around this GG. Nothing new. This is not to say that the anime is downright terrible - from the very beginning it did not claim to be some kind of revolution in idol anime and a revolution in ideas about the genre. But the rating on the site is really overpriced.
If you are a straight girl and are looking for a character to fall unrequitedly in love with, anime will do the trick. If you came to watch the real development of the plot and the revelation of the characters, unfortunately, you will not find anything special here.
I must note that Utapri's songs are good and performed in high level.
came here from the game to check it out; not a fan of (hetero-)romance or shoujo in general:p
however, the cute boys and girls and jokes kept me going all season and there are more to come
I was quite irritated by the pretense of serious drama and romance, popping up in contrast to light comedy. the plot is replete with unfounded twists and is quite openly driven by the characters themselves. GG's role is somewhat exaggerated, but her participation really at least somehow leads to a continuation. I didn’t notice any romance as such, even in the typical sugary moments, the characters’ feelings for the heroine are more like platonic (which is actually pleasing), and even those are kind of superficial and grow out of trifles (moments from the past - second quick explanations, even slightly spoiled the impression of some of the boys hehe). as if, from the word “love” in the title, is it perhaps the obsession with this very “love” of the director of the academy... and love for music?
in general, through Haruka they quickly present assorted candy guys in an ornate shiny box - choose according to your taste! no depth. in my opinion, a harem is not a death sentence for anime, and such ones can be full of seriousness, drama and strong feelings, but not this time :^)
The art is very good (except that the saxophone moved too strangely), the songs are also very good, it’s a shame that the characters were revealed just a little bit.
But if you have a dream to believe in they"ll be thousands of the most glittering jewels in the night sky
(But if you have a dream that you believe in, then it will shine above you brighter than a thousand pearls in the night sky.)
Hayato - My sweetest love, Uta no prince-sama
Uta no prince-sama is an anime about a girl who strives for her dream against all odds. She believes that if she has a goal, then the means to achieve it will certainly appear, and circumstances will develop in the most successful way.
As you know, in show business people are often pushy and persistent. It is these qualities that the director notices in Nanami Haruka, who is late for the entrance exam to the very cherished academy of her dreams, which produces stars and composers. The girl has been playing the piano since childhood, dreams of becoming a composer, and also, in a slightly more distant future, writing a song for her favorite singer Hayato, who “saved her from the abyss of ignorance and illness.” Once in the institution, the girl slowly learns the basics of skill, meets new friends and him - supposedly the twin brother of her idol, Ichinose Tokiya. Well, the story has begun...
A large number of characters, as well as a variety of personalities, certainly attract people. Besides story line does not limit anyone to anyone certain relationships. In general, there is room for imagination to run wild. One of the downsides is that some characters of this work They are very similar to the heroes of other anime.
The anime has only one idea, and it’s quite simple: nothing should become an obstacle to your dream.
The predictability of Uta no prince-sama is not something negative, on the contrary, it is what makes the anime easy to follow.
The method of telling the story is simple and effective: each episode focuses on a certain character. This allows you to fully reveal the character of each of the heroes.
However, the creators skimped on fan service; the most that can be seen in the anime is how the characters hold each other’s hands, and then for no more than a second. But drawing tears - this, perhaps, has become a favorite pastime for animators, because throughout the entire anime the heroine has shed an incredible amount of them, either from happiness or from grief. Moreover, crying without straining the facial muscles around the nose and eyes is, apparently, also a new ability of Haruka.
The behavior of the characters often resembles the actions of ordinary fragile boys from yaoi manga/anime. Although it is clear that they tried to make them lighter and sweeter, but, alas, the sophisticated brain of lovers of the genre produces only such associations. And quite often the characters themselves resemble the same “Pure Romance” - thick lips, eyes, careless movements... Although, it’s not surprising, because “Pure Romance” belongs to the same studio.
The anime is most likely intended for beginners. Yes, it is quite unusual compared to the background of the basic “Black Butler”, “Death Note”, “Naruto”, “Elven Song”, etc. So here, perhaps, it even wins.
Even when I see the cover, “Ouran High School Host Club” comes to mind, due to the number of main characters and the circumstances that bring them together. But I want to disappoint you - the anime bears little resemblance to Host Club. There is much less humor, the characters are mostly uncolorful, and the only thing you can hope for is the presence of guys with beautiful faces, which is simply a treasure trove for lovers of them!
And here musical accompaniment, perhaps, at the top. Emphasizes typicality. A crying piano in sad moments, playful in cheerful situations, makes everything more natural and touching. And in general, in my opinion, there is not a moment in the anime where some kind of melody is not playing in the background. The voice actors of the characters sing very beautifully, which is good news for lovers of Japanese music. So you can safely download the OSTs.
The opening is anything to watch or listen to. Everything is thought out and beautiful, without any unnecessary character movements around the location.
The ending, on the contrary, is one big spoiler - a large part of the manifestation of that same predictability. But everything was drawn beautifully - we even managed to convey the dance. This is not some kind of childish dance from Haruka Suzumiya, but something more. The lack of synchronization of movements in places (which is often typical, because everyone has their own dancing style) and the gestures borrowed from the videos of Japanese boy bands cannot but rejoice.
The video series will delight us with the correct angles, detail and emphasis on the faces and emotions of the characters. It’s very difficult to notice shortcomings, but you can complain in places about the lack of proper moles, hairpins and other little things... Some frames can linger on the screen for more than five seconds, so don’t immediately reach for the mouse, cursing the computer - anime itself is like that. There is a clear saving on personnel. The golden frames around the edges in the initial episodes, vaguely reminiscent of the same Ouran, add more grace and even please the eye, however, then they were simply forgotten about, and all that is preserved for the entire period of the anime is just a chibi drawing.
I would like to pay attention original idea depict the feelings of a person while listening to music, who flies in the stars or glows with all the colors of the rainbow. I can’t say how successfully it turned out, but this can safely be considered the main highlight of the anime.
If you don’t want to overload your brain with an overly twisted plot, be captivated by intrigue, and just spend time watching a relaxing melodrama, this is the anime for you. I hope your impressions will be positive ^^
1. Nanami Haruka
As befits the main character, she has a gentle character and the ability to change people, as well as a high sense of purpose towards her dream (otherwise she simply would not be the Main Character). Often, her dependence on other people's opinions plays with her cruel joke. But this, along with other awkward situations, does not stop her; she stubbornly moves forward. These qualities are adopted by other characters. And her nuclear eyes, in my opinion, are made to make her different from the heroines of other anime.
2. Ittoki Otoya
A rather clumsy guy who doesn't stand out much from the rest. Likes to fool around. She often helps Haruka cope with her problems, while at the same time solving her own. From the first minutes of acquaintance, he becomes very attached to GG, and therefore follows on her heels.
3. Jinguji Ren
Has an unhealthy love for girls, calling them "lady". He also quite often uses phrases like: “my heart flutters when I see you.” In general, classic Tamaki from Ouran School Club Host. But still, in matters and important decisions, he is much more serious. From the very first minutes of their acquaintance he gives the heroine the nickname “goat”.
4. Hijirikawa Masato
A rather strange guy who makes sure that Haruka doesn't get into trouble, although from the very beginning he is rather reserved and looks down on everyone. He is Ren's "rival". After all, he and his opponent are heirs of corporations at war with each other. Oh yeah, that's not a spot on your monitor - it's a mole under his left eye.
5. Natsuki/Satsuki Simony
A fairly typical character who clearly doesn’t have everything at home. He often pesters everyone with his ideas, which are not crowned with success. Breathes unevenly towards everything cute and small. Doesn't miss a thing one chance cuddle Haruka because she looks a lot like his dog Elizabeth. It would be unclear what he is even doing at the academy if it were not for his second personality Satsuki, who appears as soon as Natsuki takes off his glasses. All Satsu does is write music. Well, he also beats those who prevent him from doing this.
6. Kurusu Sho
He is a purposeful and kind fellow, although he pretends to be hard to touch, which reminds him of Ciel Phantomhive. Paints her nails with black polish and reads fashion magazines. He became an inseparable couple with Natsuki, who subjected him to experiments with sadistic pleasure. And if the other one still manages to take off the glasses, Sho-kun’s main task is to put them back on him. In general, his appearance is, to put it mildly, stolen. Well, try to distinguish him from Kagamine Len or, say, Alois, or better yet, from Finny, the gardener from the same “Black Butler”.
7. Ichinose Tokyo
The brother is Hayato-sama's twin, whom he hates with a passion. It's no surprise that Haruka recognized him as her idol. Mistaking Haruka for an obsessive fan, he began to hate her too. Naturally, most of the plot development subsequently unfolds around him.
8. Aijima Sheshiru
A mysterious prince who appears to the heroine almost at the very end of the anime, accompanied by little fairies. Of course, he helps her by declaring (the participle, don’t forget, highlighted by commas on both sides) that she is the chosen one, thereby supporting her. Can fly and all sorts of things different ways“fairy” over situations.
9. Director Saotome.
A former pop sex symbol, still trying to confirm this title. True, what comes out of it so far is “Sergey Zverev in his best surroundings” (c) Inserta. The animators decided to make him the main villain and a thorn in the side, and therefore he puts a spoke in the wheels of all the heroes, thereby testing their strength. However, he tries his best to help his students, even to the point of hypnosis! He also has an eternal habit of appearing at the most unexpected moment with a very strange laugh at the top of his voice.
10. Ringa Tsukimiya
It would seem, what can you expect after such a director? Well, of course, a transvestite teacher who doesn’t hide it. And, paradoxically, despite its gender, it is a generally accepted standard female beauty. He turned out to be an excellent teacher.

Sometimes the soul requires something light, without endless action, dashing intrigues, saving the world and the emotional torment of the heroes. The anime “The Singing Prince” is just from this series. Simple plot, beautiful drawing, good music will help you take your mind off and while away the evening. Nothing more.
Plot
Saotome Academy produces only the best idols and composers, has real professionals working here, and the classes are equipped with first-class equipment. It’s not easy to study, but those who complete the course will have a lucrative contract and a bright future in the world of show business. Therefore, to get into the prestigious educational institution many people dream. However, this is not easy: the applicant must have talent. Nanami Haruki is lucky in this regard: the girl has abilities, and she becomes a student of Saotome.
Now she has a year of hard work ahead of her to prove at the final audition that she is worth something. And then, with luck, Nanami will be able to fulfill her cherished dream: Write a song for Hayato's favorite artist. Only the year promises to be busy: the rest also did not come to the academy to idle. So Nanami will have to try. And this is difficult, especially when you get amazing guys as partners, one of whom is her idol.
Main characters
The Singing Prince is a harem anime aimed at a female audience. Therefore, the main character is surrounded by stunning handsome men who sympathize with her. All the characters are well written, making it interesting to watch. Although many do not like the behavior of the heroine, who is jokingly called “log-chan”.
Haruka Nanami
The girl around whom the whole story revolves. She managed to get into trouble on her first day at the academy. But Nanami was lucky: two charming guys helped her out, and the girl was still allowed into Saotome.
A pretty, short and thin (she is 160 cm tall and weighs 47 kg) 15-year-old charmer with amber-green eyes and red hair cut into a bob. Quite shy and modest, but full of optimism and enthusiasm.
Due to health problems, her parents sent little Nanami from the city to the village to stay with her grandmother. There she fell in love with music and learned to play the piano, but did not master musical notation. Upon returning to the city, the girl became confused and panicked, finding herself among a large number of people. And it was at that moment that she saw Hayato's performance on the screen, which stopped panic attack. Thus was born the dream of writing a song for him. To achieve what she wanted, Haruka Nanami decided to enter the art academy and, thanks to her talent, got into group “A”.
Tokyo Ichinose
A student at Saotome Academy, he originally studied in Class C, but was later promoted to Class A. One of the members of the group STARISH.
He is also the popular Hayato. But he does not want to reveal his identity and introduces himself to everyone as the twin brother of a famous idol. Will be revealed later by friends.
Tokiya is a 17-year-old tall and blue-eyed guy with dark blue hair. Unlike the smiling Hayato, he is always reserved and cold. Because of this, even the teacher told the guy that he sings without a soul. Thanks to my friends, I was able to open up and show the real me.
Otoya Ittoki
Student of class "A" and member of the group STARISH. Helped Nanami when she was not allowed into Saotome. Lives in the same room with Hayato.
Otoy has red hair and eyes of a similar shade. The young man prefers a casual style of clothing.
Otoya is very energetic and well-mannered, he is friendly to everyone, no matter who it is. Kind, reliable, possesses easy character. More than anything else he loves music.
Ittoki makes you empathize and follow his development, just like all the other characters. “The Singing Prince” shows not only the present of the heroes, but also their backstory, often tragic. When the boy was 2 years old, his mother died in a plane crash, so Otoya Ittoki was raised in orphanage and does not know that his father is the Brilliant Saotome.
Masato
He studies in class “A” and is a member of the STARISH group.
Masato Hijirikawa is a tall guy with neatly trimmed dark blue hair and blue eyes. He always looks calm, reserved and cold, but inside there is a real hurricane raging.
As the eldest son and heir to the company, Hijirikawa was brought up strictly, so he was not used to showing his feelings. I decided to enter the academy after I saw Nanami singing on the street. Can play the piano.
Natsuki
In the anime “The Singing Prince” there is also a rather strange character who studies in the same class as Nanami and is also a member of the group STARISH.
Tall, with blond hair and green eyes. Wear glasses. If he takes them off, Satsuki will appear - his alter ego with more pronounced musical abilities, but with a terrible character. This twin syndrome causes the poor guy a lot of problems: he doesn’t remember anything at all about what he does when he becomes Satsuki.
Natsuki Shinomiya loves to cook, although he has an absolute zero in this matter, which does not prevent the guy from enjoying the process. He loves cute and miniature things, which is why he liked Nanami. He calls the girl a fairy and says that she reminds him of his dog Elizabeth.
Ren Jinguji
He studies in "C" class and is a member of the STARISH group, like all the main ones male characters. "The Singing Prince" is a real treat for connoisseurs of handsome heroes, and Ren - bright that confirmation.
Tall guy with long hair, painted in golden-red color. The third son in the influential Jinguji family, which places a certain burden of responsibility on him. He was sent to the academy by his older brother, so at first he has no interest in learning.
Ren is more attracted to female company, he is also a ladies' man and is constantly surrounded by beauties who hang on his every word.
Thanks to Nanami's help, Ren developed a taste for music and singing. He began to pay more attention to the girl and began to affectionately call her “goat” and “my lady,” making the girl blush.
Ren can become serious if he wants, but most of the time he prefers to play the fool.
Sho Kurusu
Another C-class student and member of the idol group STARISH.
Unlike the other guys, Sho can't boast tall, so he tries to wear clothes that visually make him taller and slimmer. Blonde, some of the strands are dyed pink color. He often wears his nails painted black and has ear piercings. Known as a dude and a very nice guy, but he hates it when people say it to his face.
When I was a child I had serious problems with health. He was even told that Sho would not live long. However, the boy overcame the illness and, to strengthen his body and spirit, took up karate following the example of his idol Ryu Hyuga.
Afraid of heights. He became friends with Nanami because the girl helped him overcome his phobia and encouraged him.
No less interesting are minor characters. “The Singing Prince” will introduce the viewer to interesting personalities, just like Ringo Tsukimiya – classroom teacher class "A"!
Her melody and their words
At first glance, anime is that part of cinema that is only suitable for occasional viewing and for “killing” time. But people who have watched hundreds of episodes of various anime know that even comedy anime has meaning.
A good opening (I'm talking about a constant one) and an impressive ending. the performance of the group Starish turned out to be the loud note on which to end.
Each character is an individual, with both an attractive side and spots that repel viewers.
Otoya Itokki is a red-haired, attractive and very kind guy, but sometimes he is too childish. I realized that I wanted to sing for
Haru-chan (like everyone else)
Masoto is a guy raised in a strict Japanese family that owns a business. His heart was warmed by Haruka, a rather hidden type, who thinks that feelings (love, that is) will ruin him.
Ren Casanova of the Brilliant Academy. Personally, I don't particularly like it, but it's also good. I like and dislike his habit of calling the main character a goat at the same time. He didn’t go to school of his own free will, but he also fell in love with music thanks to the goat. As a child he was very sweet and friendly. It got spoiled though. He has matured.
Syo-chan is a guy who has a complex about his height, which is probably why he has a hot temper that always gets him into trouble. I never imagined him as Haruka’s boyfriend, more like a funny little brother. And he is also wildly afraid of heights.
Tokyo/Hayato idol main character. An incomprehensible character. But at the end of the series, this image was revealed and we, the audience, finally understood who he was. A boy who wanted to be himself, and therefore left the stage at the peak of his popularity in order to become part of Starish.
Shinomi-san is a guy with glasses who suffers from twin syndrome: usually friendly, sometimes he becomes hot-tempered and furious. She is not a good cook, but still considers cooking to be her hobby.
Haruka Minori herself is a girl who learned to read the score in a couple of days, thanks to her love for music. Helps everyone, and unselfishly, sometimes even unconsciously. As for love, he has a large harem, which the entire female part of the audience envies (and secretly wishes to have).
And undoubtedly the anime would not be so funny without a brilliant director. Every episode I wondered: how will Brilliant appear? But this is no longer new. In “Don't Give Up,” the agency director has the same habits.
One of the advantages of this anime is the presence of such a mysterious and attractive (or rather, even bewitching) character as Cecil the cat prince. Is it still a dream or reality? Only the second season will provide the answer.
This anime is based on popular game. however, despite this, neither the plot nor the art is lame. The big minus is the eyes (their color) of the main character. Trifle? Ah, no! These empty eyes are so distracting during touching moments and slightly spoil the effect.
And of course, wonderful songs that impress with good music and meaningful lyrics. Yes, they didn’t recruit just anyone to be the voice actor. Marona was pleased with Miyano, who he knew from Death Note.
The second season has begun. He made me very happy. I'm waiting for the episodes. And new 2000% love!
