~~~ ※ : THINGS TO CONSIDER: ~~~ ・ English is my second language, there may be errors in my grammar.. ・I try to make a spoiler-free review, however, in the section **opinion** if something important happens I mention it. ・General experience ≠ Final score. My personal score is *based in 5 star system*, so **I tried to put an accurate number here**, but isn't always the case. ・Locate **(Brief) Conclusion + Recommendation** section where the main points are summarized. ~~~━━━━━━━ ⟡ ━━━━━━━~~~ # ~~~**Experience with** **UniteUp!** ~~~ ~~~━━━━━━━ ⟡ ━━━━━━━~~~ ~~~**Iɴᴛʀᴏᴅᴜᴄᴛɪᴏɴ**~~~ Akira Kiyose is a high school student, who find himself *lost in his dreams*, all of a sudden he noticed how everyone follow their aspirations, now an ambiguous feeling keeps *him stuck not knowing what to do*. Different from this state, since a kid, **he admired heroes** and *share his joy about them by singing his favorite opening with all his heart*. Something he did *without giving it any more meaning became reason for being recruited as an idol?* The purposee behind this proposal is conflicting, but at the same time understandable, *without knowing his voice inspired many people and his energy was transmitted*, since he left baseball he thought everything was lost, but maybe this is the opportunity he was waiting for. As a result, he follows this chance to be part of the new idol group, with other two members, each one having a **_striking charm_** and **_a story to tell_**. Now, being part of sMiLea Production, *created by the legendary ex-idols Anela, __they are learning from their senior__* and _the two groups of the agency, hoping one day to be like them._ ~~~━━━━━━━ ⟡ ━━━━━━━~~~ ~~~**Oᴘɪɴɪᴏɴ**~~~ I mentioned the first glimpse of the story with Akira, what follow after is a rollercoaster of emotions. In this instance, there is a dividing line where *I empathized very easily with the characters* or *the narrative was well-done, nevertheless*, I will try to mention it in an objective and brief way. This show turned out to be *__quite entertaining to watch, appealing to the emotion of following your dreams on the path of hard work__*, although, the reason why Akira is an idol is because his songs were uploaded *without his consent*, it does not remove the fact that **_it was "the push" he needed_**. The story **unites us in a single purpose**, *to know them better* and *to support them*. **Each one so far has been genuine**, **they are not perfect** and *neither is’t necessary*,**_however, they followed the path to perfect themselves on stage_** and *as persons*. Without enter on details, *this anime so far manage to present every character* and *their quirks*, **_giving us realistic relationships at the same time the drama within the groups and industry was well done_**. Although, the focus was not to show in depth everything there, *despite this it was a realistic approach to make us understand what they feel as newbie groups in the industry*. The production regarding the music and dance *looks almost well polished*, with fluid and almost natural 3D animation, *they manage to camouflage well with the staging*, where the *different screenplay* together with *the lens camera effect gives the necessary fluidity*, on the other hand the lights and shadows, **deliver a depth sense of realism** and **the vividness of the idols on stage**. The *greatest variety* and **_ingenuity was saved for these instances_**, in contrast of the composition series in terms of visible quality during off-stage, *the drawing sometimes was inconstant*, with little variation of the screenplay, nevertheless, **_it functions_** within the situations that **_reflect the daily days of the boys_**. ~~~━━━━━━━ ⟡ ━━━━━━━~~~ ~~~**(ʙʀɪᴇғ) Cᴏɴᴄʟᴜsɪᴏɴ + Rᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇɴᴅᴀᴛɪᴏɴ**~~~ This anime is called “**UniteUp!**” even if the introduction I start mention Akira as the protagonist, in the long run many more guys will steal the screen. They have *different charm, an interesting side story that complement the main one*, all being members of sMiLea Production **will show you a unique and memorable show**. **The project itself showed a great quality**, with a *friendly story* where they showed **a stunning musical repertoire of each group**, *along with their designs* and *concepts*. I need to recognized that it’s not very different from any seasonal anime of idols, but **_it’s in this aspect where UniteUp! mange to give us intrigue story_** **_about the past of the top-idols_** versus **_the presence of those who want to shine_**, moreover, *the struggles of the characters are relatable*, all these combine allows us to go a little deeper into the world-building. For the most part, I recommend this anime anyone *who likes an engaging* and *exciting story*, also to **those who are interested in music**, **idols** and/or **seiyuus**, because here there is **a lot of talent and quality to appreciate**. ~~~━━━━━━━ ⟡ ━━━━━━━~~~ Fun fact: This project was uploading members' songs before the anime premiere.
