Wait.
Something about this seems really, REALLY familiar.
 |
| That’s
right! I knew it was Comcast! |
 |
| I
have a strong feeling like this anime is going to use highly gay overtones not
to present a series for gay men with realistic or engaging characters but in
order to attract the yaoi fujoshi fanbase using highly ridiculous and
exaggerated prettyboys |
 |
| YOU
CAN’T EVEN LET IT HAVE A REAL TITLE THIS IS JUST NOT FAIR!! |
The
little chipmunk guy staring at the dance routine is gonna be named Chipmunk, I
don’t even know why that comes to mind, but Chipmunk is starting his first day
at Whatever Big Rich Academy Gakuen. As a taste of their typical student body,
I’ll show you the boy band.
 |
| That
guy from Haikyu, that guy from Free, that other guy from Free, and that guy
from Yowamushi Pedal? Sign every yaoi fangirl up dawg |
And
what do they do when they, the Kao Council, grace the new students with their
presence? Do they spare some kind words? Something inspiring? Nay; they DANCE.
 |
| I
like it more like this. |
 |
| Who’s
HE talking to he clearly got dumped by the Councilboys |
Chipmunk’s
aiming to enter the music program at Bigphatbux Academy Gakuen so he can roll
with the big dogs.
 |
| Though
you usually kinda sorta need to do this before you start your program... |
 |
| Aww
guys Marshmallow’s not too sure of himself though! |
 |
| *all
four scraggly hairs on top of his head wilt* |
There’s
some office politics between “Prince” Hiragi and “Otori” Otori. Gray-hair guy
in the attic. Apparently this Kao Council’s corrupt to the very core...Star
Teams and delinquency and chairmen and grandpas and LOOSE CANON BOYS WHO DON’T
PLAY BY THE RULES. But that doesn’t really matter right now, we knew that guy
was different since he didn’t even show up to the big dance anyways. Just gotta
make the mystery happen, yo...
Down at the auditions, HIGH-STAKES CHARACTER-SETTING DRAMA.
Then
they audition. It’s boring, they sing and dance. I guess if you’re into dancing
and singing and acting, it’s good, but it’s just sort of there.
 |
| “Nope,
we don’t even have anyone on Cheezasaurus Rex’s level this year...” |
However
Otori gives Chipmunk a chance to show off one more time, and...
 |
| MOTHERFUCKER
STOLE MY MOVES!!! |
Then
there’s another musical moment because he’s sad he thinks he can’t be part of a
Star Team.
 |
| That’s
enough. |
Then
he goes to his dorm room to drown his sorrows on a job unwell done with
Marshmallow.
And
then they’re in.
 |
| WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO |
It just doesn’t sit right with me when there’s another show
that makes an entire gender ridiculous just to get the target audience (gender)
to buy all sorts of goods of them kissing, it’s the same whether it’s yaoibait
or old-fashioned boy’s fanservice. At the very least give it a stronger plot
than ‘there’s a romance so we can put love triangles in it and bad jokes’ or ‘we
clearly ripped off Disney so hard we can’t legally print the full name of our
anime in English.’ I guess this is gonna be a ridiculous ride for shits and
giggles, but from just watching it, this might actually have been more
impressive and interesting if it were live-action; I mean they’re just plain
insanely pretty boys. If they were in real life, I’d probably care more about
them doing something kinda normal, being outside of an insanely imaginative and
rule-lacking drawn medium after all.
