Uta No Prince Sama 1000%: Season 1 [Blu-ray]

Uta no Prince-Sama or "UtaPri" as its called by the fans and referred to at some points in the actual series is an Anime that anyone can watch and truly enjoy. Why? Well there's a number of reasons so what's say that we get into them.First off the Animation:The animation was done by a studio called "A-1 Pictures" whom did the animation for "Black Butler" ,"Blue Exorcist" ,"Sword Art Online" of course this series. There are plenty of other series' that they have done the animation for but those are jut some of them and yes I will be reviewing both seasons of Black Butler that are currently available.The animation in this season (and the season after) is honestly some of the best that I have seen in a good many years. I've been watching Anime since Sailor Moon in 1997 and I kept wondering what it would look like years later. Well this studio along with "Studio DEEN" have definitely ramped up the attention to detail that much is for sure and it definitely raises the bar for me as to what I expect to see in my Animes for years to come.Now let's get on with the story:The story starts based around Haruka Nanami whom dreams of one day becoming a top composer in Japan. To accomplish this she ends trying to get into the Saotome Academy along with her friend Tomochika (we'll be calling her "Tomo" for the rest of this review) but you see she appeared to be late for the exam and wouldn't be allowed to get into the school to take the entrance exam!Enter Ittoki Otoya and Ren Jinguji with the former appearing at the gate to try and help her get into the school to take the test and the latter entering by Limo explaining the reason WHY she was late in the first place. Despite this the security wouldn't allow her in until one phone call took care of that and the rest as they say...is history!The story through these 13 episodes takes the viewer on a roller coaster of emotions both with the highs and lows that make this season (and series as a whole) special. There is enough comedy watching this series as the students she encounters have to resist asking her out because the school has a strict "No Love" policy which makes some of the interactions that happen throughout quite amusing to watch. As a viewer you feel bad because you KNOW that the students she meets want to date her but they can't due to the rule in place there.Oh but its also not without the typical story at the start when students believe she only got in because of "favors" or whatnot. This story quickly gets dropped however within the first three episodes while we find out that Haruka can play the piano somewhat but reading the actually music...not so much (this is the cause of the talk from the other students)You also find out that one of the students in the school is secretly leading a double life. When I saw this story my first thought was Endo Kazuki from Gakuen Heaven (one of my first reviews on this site actually) when he lead the double life of student and Chairman. In THIS case it has to do with a student going to school learning to BE an Idol when they already ARE one (and also became the motivation for Haruka to even WANT to go to Saotome in the first place).The way the story builds up is that the first few episodes are used to introduce each character separately with some kind of pairing or "issue". You got Ittoki and Ichinose ,Masato and Ren and Syo and Natsuki (although Nats houses a "third" person that you do NOT want to meet!) and each of the episodes essentially helps you learn about each of the characters and the fact that they have one singular motivation to have Haruka write songs for them.As with any Anime you need solid characters and this series has them as I have mentioned throughout so far. From Otoya to Tokiya everyone of them is very much a likable character while you have to try and get used to Saotome and Ringo....the less I say about him the better off I am.The music is also a joy to listen to especially the OP ("Orpheus") and the ED for this season ("Maji Love 1000%") as those songs make you want to watch the next episode. That sounds weird to say but sometimes after the song plays from a series I kind of just want to stop watching for a little while (and yes that's happened to me in the past).Want to know the BEST song in the season? "Mirai Chizu"!Why?I'm not telling :-pSeriously the reason that song became a favorite of mine you have to see the episode it comes in because its one of those moments that if you were kind of "meh" on the series before the final episode of Series 1 then you are in for a treat come the end of it I promiseIf you aren't watching Uta no Prince-Sama then I actually feel bad for you because its one of those Animes that NEEDS to be watched and appreciated as one of the best out there at this point in time!take care

This is one of my favorite Anime!!!! Arrived early in perfect condition! I highly recommend it!!!

If you like La Corda d'Oro: Primo Passo, you will love Uta No Prince Sama 1000%: Season! This anime is based on a video game series only released in Japan. Yet, the anime has a great storyline, well-rounded characters, hilarious moments and a dash a drama. This isn't your typically high school musical as the main character, Haruka, a hard-working, kind, naive girl, enters into Saotome Academy for the Performing Art to become a composer so she can achieve her dream of writing songs for her favorite singer, HAYATO. Along the way, she meets six handsome male singers, a crazy staff and a black cat, as she works to make her dreams come true.PROS:If you like musicals and romance you love this series as every episode has one character or another singing a song, confessing unsaid feelings for the naive character, Harkura.If you like slice -of -life anime this series is also for you as it looks into each of lives of the main male characters and how Haruka helps them along the way.If you like amine where six guys all fall in love with the main female character and you the viewer like to try to figure out who she will end up with or who you hope she will end up with.CONS: If you hate musical anime, this series is not for you.If you had subtitle anime, this series is not for you.If you hate slice-of- life anime, again this series is not for you.If you do not like mushy, romantic or feel good anime, this series is not for you.If you want to find a magical violin or fairy in this series you will be disappointed.I, for one, really enjoy this series and I hope the company who produces the series will bring out season 2 of Uta Prince Sama!

I don't write these too often, but I just felt like I had to sing the praises of this amazing reverse harem anime. I also don't usually like English subtitles, because yes, I'm kind of lazy and also makes my head hurt to read words and follow along with the scenes at the same time. But I really, really enjoyed this and can't thing of anything but positive things to say. I'm familiar enough with some themes of J-Pop culture to where the seriousness and importance of idols in Japanese culture (what they call their pop stars), makes sense to me. I'm not a huge fan of J-pop tunes that listens to them all the time, but these songs were catchy and even dare I say, moving. The idea of a school just for rising idols and composers isn't at all unbelievable for that reason. I enjoyed the wide cast of characters personalities, and how they each find their hope after the herioine, Nanami Haruka, shows them the magic of music with her exceptional song-writing. The comedy and romance parried with the occasional dramatic twist was well-balanced. There was never a dull moment and I'm sad it wasn't longer. So if you're like me and were hesitant to jump in....don't be shy and take the plunge! You won't regret it!

I'm new to anime but I've gotta say shows like this should be shared with everyone. The artwork for the characters and the songs were in perfect sync with their personalities and feelings. I love English dubbed like other people but shows like this is what makes you feel as if you can be a part of these worlds and its very moving. The Japanese voice actors are very talented and you don't have to speak Japanese to realize it. The story revolves around a girl, Haruka, whose dream is to become a composer and write songs for her music idol, Hayato. However, along the way she befriends a group of people which she comes to live in her own way and writes songs for them and encourages them to be themselves and never give up on their dreams. I think this show is perfect for all anime lovers. It's mixed with romance, friendship, and dreams that never die.

..Der Versand hielt die angekündigte Zeit gut ein und war pünktlich bei mir Zuhause.Die DvD funktioniert einwandfrei.Leider kann man die englischen Untertitel nie ausschalten, was ich persönlich etwas schade finde.Sonst kann man auf jeder, der vier DVDs die Episoden alle einzelnd auswählen oder auch alle automatisch nacheinander schauen.

good background stories

Blu-rayなら余程のことがない限り北米版でも見れるだろうと思っていましたが、国内のBlu-ray機器数台で試しましたが見れませんでした。 PS3なら見れるだろうということなので、なおしこんだままのPS3を引っ張り出して試してみます。 これが噂のリージョンが対応していても見れないというBlu-rayなんですね。 勉強になりました。

北米版ですが問題無くみれました。日本語音声◯、字幕も消せます。国内版のブルーレイも見たことがありますがかなり神経質な方以外平気だと思います。私は全然綺麗だと思いました。それよりこの値段でディスク2枚で全話みれるのは有り難いです。部屋で流し見してます(*^^*)基本的にブルーレイなら北米版でも日本のブルーレイプレイヤーでみれるはずだったのですが最近日本のユーザーが北米版に流れるのを防ぐためか国別コードというのが設定されています。これがあると日本のプレイヤーでは基本的に見れません。国別コード変更可能なプレイヤーなら設定をカナダとかにすれば問題無くみれます。PS3でも大丈夫です！

PS3再生可能、日本語音声◯、字幕on、off可能うたプリとか書いてるからテニプリ並のギャグを期待して買ったのですがとんだ産廃でした歌も記憶に残らないくらいの曲だしライブのダンスも面白げが無いしマジクソ100万％です評価は再生環境に優しいから星3つです
