Pretty Rhythm: Aurora Dream

I love this series! It's a great one and it's pretty underrated. Pretty Rhythm has three seasons overall; Aurora Dream, Dear My Future, and Rainbow Live. But as this is Aurora Dream so I'll review it. First of all the plot here is amazing. If you have an extremely soft heart you can even cry, just like I did. This is the only series so far which made me shed alot of tears. While a few others only made me emotional to a high level but never made me cry. Harune Aira is your protagonist, she's a klutz and clumsy and isn't good with sports either. Buther fashion sense is awesome. She's my favourite character. Amamiya Rizumu is also pretty likable but her actions can get frustrating sometimes. She loves to eat meat and is great at dancing and is a love expert. Takamine Mion is lovable and unique in her own style. She'll start as an annoying brat at the start of series but warms up to Aira and Rizumu. Her singing is beautiful. The art wasn't good at the start of series but it got better later on. The CG used here is among the best I've seen. All the songs here are likable. But the first opening song gets old cos of being used in every episode. Later it is used less and less to clear up the mess. There are Prism Stars, special sports idols who aim to become the grand Prism Queen. Of course-- in all cases romance is forbidden for them but they still have love interests. Aira has Shou. Rizumu has Hibiki. And Mion's love interest is a bit complicated. Mion is first shown to love Jun and has a playful friendship with Wataru. But her crush moves from Jun to Wataru as the series progresses. Shou, Hibiki, and Wataru are in a unit together called Callings. Aira, Rizumu, and Mion also form a group together called MARs taken from the first letters of their respective names and an extra 's' for a reason I don't remember. But wait I'm spoiling the series for you. Overall I'm rating this a 10/10.

This anime is the kind of anime you have to go through so that you enjoy it. Firstly let's talk about the art. It's okay. Its 3D is better than Aikatsu's at its beginning, Kirari's, Sailor Moon Crystal's transformation's and so on. The 2D is not that great, but it is fair. The music is great! The OST is kind of boring, but the songs and the openings (especially the second) are interesting! The characters seem really show at the beginning of the anime. But as you discover them, you see that they're deep. Not especially original or complex, but they are definitely not clichés. The story isharder to criticise. Precisely, the beginning is just awful. It is probably the worst beginning I've watched, seens, listened or read. You just can't understand what's going on. But the story gets better, and the end is far from being good. It's brillant. I won't explain why, but the end of the anime is just excellent. And somehow, I loved Prism shows. I don't know why. They aren't that great. But the anime makes you understand that they are more than show, that it is a reflect of your soul. It may not affect you at all. But, for my part, I've just felt amazed and affected. I know it is not that good. But somehow, I love it. This is why my overall grade is 7/10. I guess that it truly deserves 5/10. But I can't give that. Because it truly resonates with my soul.

This is an interesting anime. Having started in the 2011 anime season which was filled with some fine shonen, I was amazed to see a show that was able to break me from that and also to give me something that wasn't an action show but still interesting to watch. Prism Shows are the main focus of this anime and the inclusion of them in each episode finishes off each mini story (besides bigger story arcs) very nicely. The most interesting part for me has to be the development of the story and sometimes it was obvious to see what would happen, but even ifit was, watching it unfold is quite the ride inside towards the end of the series and everything comes together for a great series overall.
