The jokes were able to land pretty well and I found myself laughing so much. The one other part of this episode that was particularly enjoyable was the comedy. While maybe not my favorite song of the season, it definitely fit both the characters and had beautiful animation(along with Cecil’s signature spinning dance). I do completely understand the feeling of being in an environment that makes you feel uncomfortable, as well as the feeling of not wanting to burden the people you care for, but the subtitles just made it seem like Cecil just has to stay arms length away from him, instead of sounding like Shion was emotionally distressed and needed people to understand him. Now, the reason I found the ending kind of lame I think is mostly because of how it was worded in the subtitle. And it was because of this that, when HEAVENS burst into STARISH’s dorm, it does put HEAVENS in a much better light, as it shows they do care for each other, just like STARISH. I loved when we had Shion showing so much emotion and distress from his situation. The drama in this episode did keep my on my toes, though I felt the end of it was kind of lame. Unfortunately, because of this, the animation quality does seem to lack in the areas outside scenes with more than 2 characters or the music part of the anime. I don’t believe I have ever mentioned this before, but I feel like the animation quality for the show gets 10 times better when they focus on an individual character, especially when it comes to Cecil’s eyes! They just look so beautiful. There was drama, there was comedy, there was good music, and SO MANY HOT GUYS. So overall this episode was much better, compared to last week’s episode. The episode ends with Shion and Cecil singing their song, Visible Elf, and Shion declaring he sees Cecil in a better light now, to Cecil’s happiness. He gives the song to Shion and tells him he will be waiting at the studio for when he is ready. Cecil, then explains how he was the last one to join STARISH, and how he learned that he was not alone, but had many friends around him to help him. A chase begins, with Cecil trying to tell Shion that he understands him now. Eiichi is able to get Shion out of the closet, but Shion is still upset, and runs away again, only to run into Cecil. After learning this, Cecil, with Haruka’s song in hand, goes to see Shion. Camus tells him that he had invaded and trampled in Shion’s space, which had caused most of the distress.
Cecil, still being confused, finds Camus, and asks him for advice. Cecil tells them what happened, and HEAVENS explains that Shion was the last one to join them, and is the one that cares about HEAVENS the most. HEAVENS then storms STARISH’s dorm, to find out why Shion was so upset. He then runs back to the HEAVENS dorm, where he locks himself in a closet. When they try to meet again, Shion expresses his distress about having to sing with Cecil, feeling like singing apart from HEAVENS will make his soul impure. It is not until later, when Cecil sees Shion smiling with HEAVENS, that Cecil feels that Shion is unhappy singing with him.
While he is excited, Shion seems to be the opposite, as it does not seem he wants to talk much to either Haruka or Cecil, who is undeterred and believes they are getting along. The episode starts off with Cecil being excited to finally meet his duet partner, Shion. With that out of the way, let’s get started. Now if you haven’t seen the episode yet, I do highly suggest you watch it before continuing, as I will probably be spoiling a few things. Today, I will be covering episode 5, also known as Visible Elf.
Hi, everybody!! I’m back with another review of UtaPri Maji Love Legend Star.
