Synopsis

Since childhood, 15-year-old Umika Konohoshi has been fascinated by aliens, hoping to one day voyage to outer space and befriend them. Unfortunately, this fixation has caused her peers to label her as odd, intensifying her struggle with severe social anxiety. Nevertheless, Umika's passion for the extraterrestrial persists, and she deeply believes that her true purpose is outside the confines of Earth.

On her first day of high school, Umika's wish of meeting an alien seems to have finally come true when she encounters Yuu Akeuchi—a classmate who claims to have crash-landed on Earth with no recollections of her past. Umika tries to seize this opportunity to make friends with Yuu, but her lack of confidence hinders her. Sensing Umika's distress, Yuu suddenly uses a strange power to delve deep into her mind, thus sparking a friendship that may just help Umika reach her dreams.

Hoshikozu Telepath was a late 2023 anime from Studio Gokumi based off of a manga by Ookuma Rasuko. I have reviewed some Gokumi anime before: Yuuki Yuuna wa Yusha de Aru, Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san, A-Channel and the god awful Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge. Let's hope this is more like the other stuff I've reviewed of theirs and not that one.

Story:

Konohoshi Umika is an incredibly awkward girl who doesn't fit in with people in general. I relate. She dreams about going into space and meeting aliens who will understand her. I still relate. Her life is turned upside down when a strange girl arrives ...

Mixed Feelings

Stardust Telepath is extremely weird, but really started to warm up to me as the series carried on. Through its bubbly characters, it hopes to strike some real emotion into you with its (almost) real, slice-of-life setting.

Story: Stardust Telepath takes place in a middle school where the exceptionally anxious Umika Konohashi has a strange fascination with space and aliens. Her dream is to create a rocket to one day travel to outer space, really, without any slight idea on how to do it. However, one day, someone claiming to be an alien named Yuu Akeuchi appears in front of Umika and seems ... to notice immediately that Umika’s far too anxious to communicate with any of her peers. Being an alien, Yuu reveals she has the ability to sense someone else’s emotions and feeling by simply tapping her forehead to another human’s, known as Telepathy. Eventually, the pair teams up with two others students, Haruno Takaragi and Matataki Raimon, and form a school club, known as the Rocket Research Hobby Group, that aims to creating model rockets to be able to fly, kind of in parallel with Umika’s dream.

This series starts out exceptionally slow, in which not a whole lot of consequence happens, likely in part to create the setup it needs to carry out the back half of the story. The first half basically consists of Yuu creating her club, recruiting members, finding a home base, and learning the basics of how to create model rockets. Unfortunately, it really is quite bland, even if the series tries its best to appear quick, with our characters moving all over the place. I get it, but such a slow start can chase some audiences away.

That being said, the second half is where this series really starts to pick up the pace. Without spoiling too much, our characters find real life applications to their hobby and find ways that they can have more fun along the way. This creates a lot of really strong storylines, driven by themes such as teamwork, conflict resolution and bouncing back after you’ve been taken a step backwards. The interactions between our characters specifically gets tested as the series goes on, especially when they discover the “sport” side of it. I'm not entirely sure why this series is labeled as a Girls Love series, because it really doesn't hint at anything of the sort. Think of it as a slice-of-life / school series and you're set. (7/10)

Characters: Umika is probably the most anxious anime character that I’ve seen in a lot time, if not, ever. She get nervous at the slightly sliver of personal interaction and doesn’t take criticism well at all. Starting at such a low point does create some room for character growth, and she does take steps to get there by the season wraps up. She wouldn’t be able to take that growth without her group mates though. Yuu isn’t really an interesting character though. She’s mostly there for her Telepathy abilities, and outside of that, she’s mostly an obvious teenager, looking to launch rockets and not learn much along the way. She’d be an okay support character, but she’s easily the weakest of our main cast. Haruno, like Yuu, takes a very carefree and optimistic outlook on her studies and club activities. She’s the most level-headed of the group and I’m not sure the group stays together without her. The story takes a bit of a turn late, where we see that even the best and brightest aren’t invulnerable to breaking down every once in a while. Raimon comes off as harsh, but her inclusion in this story was very welcome from my standpoint. She clearly has the common interest like the other girls, but she’s quick to criticize when she doesn’t feel like others are learning at her pace and yells… a lot. The differences between her and the others are so stark, but that’s why she’s great here.

There aren’t a whole lot of side characters to speak of. Umika’s sister Honami makes a few appearances, but isn’t much of anything. Emihara are the girls’ homeroom teacher and eventual club advisor, but apart from barking the club rules, she really doesn’t do much of anything either. Kei Akizuki, a middle schooler from another school, has some decent moments in the middle of the series and might be the only side character worth anything in the series. (7/10)

Art: Studio Gokumi is in charge of the animation here, and they have a history doing some colourful work in the past with series such as Tsurezure Children and Yuuki Yuuna is a Hero. The animation is very crisp and consistent, and that’s not even to mention Umika’s gorgeous hair colour. Backgrounds likely saw a little less attention, but that’s really not what you’re focusing on in this case. (8/10)

Sound: The sound really didn’t produce anything exceptional or terrible, though both the OP and ED felt pretty suitable for the series. I can’t say anything was particularly off with the VA cast either - they did fine here. (7/10)

Overall: Stardust Telepath definitely has some strong points in where the girls’ club takes them, but getting there is a bit of a hurdle. Still, I’ll definitely take an anime series that starts out slow and finishes strong over the opposite, any day. Our four girls are very different from one another, and apart from the story near the end, it really sticks out as being a strongpoint of the series. I wasn’t sure what to expect out of the series, but I’m happy with the direction they decided to take the girls’ rocket hobby, and would watch more if it continued. (7/10)

Preliminary (6/12 eps)

Hoshikuzu Telepath is about Umika, whose defensive mechanism while going through her adolescence regarding her social anxiety is to perform escapism. She believes that going to space is the only option for her to make friends, as she clams up when trying to interact with regular people. Surely, she thought, aliens would be much easier to talk to and make friends with.

And of course, rather than dealing with her issues or problems, the story rather just presents an actual, living alien in front of Umika! I exaggerate a little. In reality, Akeuchi's appearance in Umika's life has little to do with her alien identity. This ...
