Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Movie: Maji Love Kingdom

When announcements came around that Uta no Prince Sama would be receiving a movie, I was ecstatic. I was interested in seeing the plot as well as character interactions.

However, after seeing clips and reading up the synopsis, I came to the conclusion that Maji Love Kingdom wouldn't have any plot. The movie was basically an hour-long concert featuring the groups: STARISH, QUARTET NIGHT, AND HEAVENS.

Despite there being no plot, I honestly felt that it worked since the Utapri franchise is all about the music. I still had a great time listening to the songs and seeing the groups interact with each other. The colors were ... also very pleasing and the animation was very fluid.

If I had to name some downsides, it would be that I wish that the songs were longer. I also would've liked to see more of Haruka as well as the other side characters. I feel like them only being seen in the credits scene wasn't enough.

I really, really like this movie, no not like I love this movie. This is the best written show I have watched with focus on every single character. The writers have done an exceptional job in writing the story and at times goosebumps inducing scenarios which relate to one another in complete unexpected way. The ending of the story is beautifully and leisurely written which just warms your heart. This is the perfect birthday gift for me and if you are a diehard fan of utapri ♪ you need to watch this .

Uta no ☆Prince-Samoa Maji LOVE Kingdom is a movie that’s basically an entire concert featuring the handsome group ST ☆RISH, the sexy group QUARTET NIGHT, and the gentlemanly group HE ☆VENS. From the very beginning, we’re immediately sucked into the concert and feel like each idol is giving it their all for us specifically. The outfits look great, the vocalist choices for each mixed group song was on point, and the entire movie felt like a genuine concert, just in an anime form.
Of course, it helps to know the Uta no ☆Prince-same fandom, so if you haven’t caught up yet on all the previous seasons, we highly recommend binge watching them before watching this movie as it’ll make the heartfelt comments feel all that much sweeter. While voice actors are the voices behind anime idols, it’s still an anime and therefore some people might not like how cartoon-y the characters sound.


The songs are geared more for anime and anime theme songs, so the type of music they sing may not be for everyone despite the famous vocalists singing them.

If you really love UtaPri--music, characters, and all--then you'll love this movie because it's basically just an animated concert between STARISH, HEAVENS, and QUARTET NIGHT with some chit-chatting in between.

Music-wise, I'm not the biggest fan of the UtaPri music except in some places, so I wasn't 100% impressed with the music in this film. However, like I said, you'll probably like it if the UtaPri sound is your thing. The art is usually gorgeous in UtaPri, and the dance choreography was amazing the entire time, but the use of CGI for the dancing wasn't that nice to watch.

Obviously, there's no story to discuss, but the ... banter between the boys was funny enough. I do tend to think that you need to expect a certain amount of cringe when it comes to UtaPri, and that was definitely present in this film, but since UtaPri is a guilt pleasure of mine, it didn't bother me too much.

So, yeah. Not much to say. Watch this if you love UtaPri because it's a really cool experience to kind of see them in concert.
