Uta no Prince Sama Cast

SPOILERS BELOW

Uta no Prince Sama

So far it starts off interestingly enough you see a large boy band of various rainbow colors reminding me of a mix between Ouran High School's Host club and Vocaloids. They sing a pretty rocking song, and we cut to a girl who is pleading with some guys (security guards?) out in front of an Academy to be let in for an exam. After being buffeted again and again a red head boy from the band we saw earlier persuades the guys to let the girl in, after getting buffeted yet again another guy from the band comes up and also pleads for her case. Geez, I wish I could get this many good looking guys step up and defend me....

She ends up getting to take the exam and then passes being eligible to go to the school which is a boarding school. The school is large, extravagant like Ouran High.... huh I'm sensing a theme here (eep Rachelle was right!)  She meets more of the band members and its weird cause all of them are liking her at first glance. One guy even compares her to his dog... a blonde haired guy who loves small and cute things. (Sound familiar?)

Hunny... you have an older persona twin?

More stuff happens, and more cute guys appear. OMG this girl is so lucky. So it launches into a backstory of why she is there and how she idolizes this one guy. And a snazzy song is sung. She ends up chasing a cat and finds a lookalike of her idol guy.

It is weird, I thought the band was together... apparently they know eachother but they don't like.... talk like they are in a band. Was it a future clip?

VERDICT: MAYBE

Overall I'm very torn about this. I love the fact it is music centered and the guys are certainly cute and the protagonist has something going for her as to what I'm not too sure. I guess it's the honesty thing. But I think I might get irritated with the vocaloids and Ouran similarities and just the fact she has TONS of guys falling for her everywhere. For no reason anyways.... I mean at least in Ouran Haruhi has guys not initially falling for her. They kinda find out she's a girl and decide to help her out or laugh about it and shallowly flirt and then a couple of the guys develop true feelings for Haruhi as the show progresses. I dunno I will watch the second episode and fill you guys in on it.
