revue starlight

i just watched the first couple episodes of this and it's pretty gay! it seems to be a vaguely utena-inspired theatrical anime about Definitely Not Takurazuka acting students fighting each other in dramatic symbolic stage fights to have a chance at stardom. the character designs aren't all that exciting, but the animation is very nice, the only non-girl character is a giraffe, after two episodes i already have like 4 ships, and there seems to be pretty minimal Anime Bullshit thus far (deliberately avoiding pantyshots, no "uwahhh your boobs are so big!!" moments between the girls, that kind of thing).

nayrt sounds interesting and i'm glad that there's less weird anime bullshit (my least fave thing about anime is the whining about cup size thing it makes it incredibly awkward to watch as a woman)

lmao i like how you nayrt'd when i was op

also yeah thats like... the Worst Part of a lot of heavily female casts in anime, but so far they all seem to act pretty much like mostly normal teenagers and have failed to be super weird about each other, and while i'm having trouble being convinced all of these girls are like, 16-17 and not 14, they at least all look like theyve hit anime puberty (and the adult women also actually look like adults!!)

i have only seen the first two episodes, so it may get awful immediately after this and i'll regret reccing it lmao, but the person who recommended it to me was raving abt it and apparently its got a lot of fanart already of the ships, which is nice to know!

^ these are the subs i was recommended too, apparently theres like 4 groups subbing it at various levels of quality and these are the slowest but best
