Please watch Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight
Revue Starlight had one of, if not THE best first episode I’ve seen all season, and yet is criminally underwatched at the moment, so I’m here to say why I loved it so much, and hope you all give it a chance as well!

Might watch this now

Popularity is probably tied to the fact that It’s not on Crunchyroll. Not sure what is bigger, Crunchyroll or HiDive, but Crunchyroll has the social reach to better promote the show.
September 19, 2018 @ 2:55 pm
yes i agree to all of your review. The animation is visually arresting, clean and crisp! It kinda reminds me of Violet Evergarden. 😀
Also, every characters are fresh and the story although I must admit I am kinda confuse with the giraffe.LOL
Spoiler! Epidose 3
Uh why do i have the feeling its going yuri vibe?. or it is just me.

Have you looked into the stage play at all? It took place around september of 2017 and everything about it is absolutely BREATHTAKING. The plot of the anime is based on it!
September 19, 2018 @ 2:57 pm
Ok so I watched it. And I think you totally undersold that half way through this show becomes literally bonkers and nothing like the original premise. If I knew going in that it was this nuts I would have totally given it a shot a while ago. You can totally tell people what’s up without spoiling it haha Thanks for making me watch this. P.s. A Place Further Than The Universe is truly what made me watch this after you’re recommendation..it made me see how an anime can be so much for then what in paper looks like a very feminine premise.

I’m Only Watching This Because Mimorin And Hinato Sato Are The Voice Characters.
September 19, 2018 @ 2:58 pm
And now I’m no HIDIVE….
September 19, 2018 @ 2:58 pm
Looking back at this review and watching episode 10 of this series, really gets me. The Tokyo tower scene wasn’t cuz of how Hikari felt about Karen, it was crazily a foreshadow of Hikaris
********* spoiler *********
Betrayal
September 19, 2018 @ 3:02 pm
why is this show so fucking hype? it looks like idol trash! we are in on ground floor and the whole community will be talking about this if ep2 is half this hard core
September 19, 2018 @ 3:03 pm
But how can we watch this legally?
September 19, 2018 @ 3:04 pm
*Sees realtion to Houseki* Yup, I’m watching this.
September 19, 2018 @ 3:05 pm
please do a seven senses of the reunion one
September 19, 2018 @ 3:07 pm
I really hope it’s based more on relationships between the characters more than just how hard it is to get to the top. Of course, it’d probably end with either both Hikari and karent, would be nice, or the obvious one being Karen seeing how she is the main character. But i really wanna see their relationship grow throughout the series like in idolm@ster with chihaya and haruka. That’s what these two remind me of.
September 19, 2018 @ 3:08 pm
When I first watched this anime I had no idea what this was about. I’m so so glad I clicked on it because it’s absolutely stunning so far!
September 19, 2018 @ 3:08 pm
While editing this I picked up on even MORE details packed into all of the imagery and how it foreshadows or ties together different parts of the episode and I’m seriously blown away. This has weekly review potential if the second episode maintains this level of quality.
September 19, 2018 @ 3:09 pm
hi phenomsage what is your most favourite manga if you read any manga that is ? ^^
September 19, 2018 @ 3:12 pm
I’m a theatre nerd myself so I’ll definitely check this anime out!
September 19, 2018 @ 3:13 pm
I really enjoy this series. It feels like a true successor to the prince of anime, Shoujo Kakumei Utena (even truer than Penguindrum). It’s worked masterfully up to episode 3. This is my top choice for the season. I just hope it doesn’t become a clone of my favourite series of all time.

Revue Starlight
What I learnt from watching anime?
• never trust emotionless talking animals
• be wary of episode 3 and 8
• transfer student to a magic theatre girl school… very suspicious
This is what practically feels like Symphogear meets Mahou Shoujou Ikusei Keikaku. Idolesque setting? Mahou shoujou setting? I’m on board!
September 19, 2018 @ 3:17 pm
The opening is amazing, IT gives vibes of the ending song of strike witches movie
September 19, 2018 @ 3:18 pm
I freakin love this show already it’s just beautiful ?
September 19, 2018 @ 3:18 pm
Don’t watch this, it’s just idol trash
Dropped after 10 minutes :’)
September 19, 2018 @ 3:20 pm
Yes, The first episode was so good! And also the attention to detail in that episode was amazing, characters were talking while another story was told with visuals. This might be the Hidden gem of this season.
September 19, 2018 @ 3:24 pm
Holy shit I love this show. 5:45 I love her.
September 19, 2018 @ 3:25 pm
I feel like they really rushed the character introduction. They just flash by 6 characters in three minutes and then there are the three main characters, plus one giraffe. How am I even supposed to remember all the names? And why should I care for the idols, if I don’t know what makes each idol unique? In Princess Nine and Gurren Lagann it’s done the right way, and they gradually introduce the characters over several episodes.
Besides this the art and music is nice, but I think the 7 point score is justified.
September 19, 2018 @ 3:26 pm
I just know hinata lol
September 19, 2018 @ 3:28 pm
DUDE WHERE CAN I FIND IT SO I CAN WATCH IT?! I KEEP SEARCHING AND THERES NO ANSWERS

5:55 Those nails…
September 19, 2018 @ 3:29 pm
reminded me A LOT of Princess Tutu
September 19, 2018 @ 3:29 pm
I suggest you lower your extremely high impression of this show. It could lead to a terrible disappointment. You sound so completely blow away to Pluto, I immediately recall your wholehearted very high initial praise of Franxx, and we all know what happened to that. Just a statement of caution.
September 19, 2018 @ 3:30 pm
dude will u ever make amvs again?
September 19, 2018 @ 3:30 pm
that anime is the best of all anime made 2018 that is for me~but the next episode 2 – 12..ill be dreaming in.heaven,(≧▽≦)
September 19, 2018 @ 3:31 pm
Hey PS did you know there is new chapter of Murderhole Simulator aka Made in Abyss? Can we have a reaction pls?
September 19, 2018 @ 3:33 pm
Where can I watch it at?
September 19, 2018 @ 3:33 pm
As a fan of the Takarzuka Revue this series is a joy to watch.It’s the real all female theatre company that the school is based on. It’s been around for over 100 years and has some amazing actresses.And the Yuri is top notch. My lesbian heart loves it. The music is also amazing I love how the character songs add a whole new layer to everything.
September 19, 2018 @ 3:34 pm
Am I the only one who noticed that that girl with the bow was actually holding it very wrong? like the arrow isnt supposed to be on that side. I am so nitpiking this but thanks for pointing this show out to me !!
September 19, 2018 @ 3:34 pm
TL;DR : NUT
September 19, 2018 @ 3:35 pm
Due to looking for a review, I stumble upon your video and decided to give it a try. I must say, I am not disappointed in the show. I just watched the first episode and all the details you mentioned are spot-on.
September 19, 2018 @ 3:35 pm
Pretty good anime with shit tier official subtitles.
September 19, 2018 @ 3:36 pm
Could not agree more. Blew me away!
September 19, 2018 @ 3:36 pm
This anime is freaking awesome
September 19, 2018 @ 3:36 pm
My favorite anime so far this season. Alongside Cells at Work, but that is a very different anime.
September 19, 2018 @ 3:39 pm
It’s one of, surprisingly, the highest production values for first episodes.
September 19, 2018 @ 3:41 pm
I just watched all episodes aired untill now yesterday and I’m totally in love with this series.
September 19, 2018 @ 3:42 pm
No :T
September 19, 2018 @ 3:44 pm
People need to understand about Japanese musical theatre especially Takarazuka Revue before watch this anime. Because Revue Starlight obviously was inspired by Takarazuka, But Starlight did something differrent from Takarazuka.
1. Takarazuka (IRL) and Seishou (In anime), both are all woman music school. but in theatre Takarazuka have male role played by female, Starlight straighforward just have all woman role in theatre
2. Takarazuka decide "Top Star" maybe through size of fan base (wikipedia), Starlight decide top start with theatre battle
September 19, 2018 @ 3:46 pm
