Starmyu 3rd Season (STARMYU Season 3)

Following a successful graduation performance, Yuuta Hoshitani and the rest of the second years begin preparations for the upcoming Ayanagi Festival. This year's festival is the first time the students will be without their Kao Council mentors, giving them the creative freedom to do what they want. Hoping to perform alongside each other for once, the second years decide to put on a joint production together. The festival’s opening ceremony will also serve another purpose—to reveal next year's Kao Council candidates.

The Kao Council announces that Team Hiiragi was selected for the opening ceremony performance, preventing them from participating in the collaboration. This shocks and enrages Hoshitani and the others, driving a rift between them and the Kao Council. In an effort to realize their dreams, the students begin to hatch a plan to ensure that all of the second years can perform together on stage.

Reason for Watching: Well I have already watched Season 1 and 2 after all~

TL;DR: Story is really weak and slow, but the musical aspect and pretty characters are satisfying to watch.

This season is pretty weak, as compared to the previous seasons. The story is VERY slow-paced, and a little messy. The introduction of new characters is fine, but with the increased of characters, it seemed that the story has lost its focus. I can understand wanting to give the new characters some action to blend them into the plot. But unfortunately, it seemed like that's all the creators was able to do, just giving some ... screen time to the new characters as well as the original MCs and Support Characters. The storylines of the new characters and the existing characters did not come together at all. We know through the hopelessly optimistic narration from the main MC that the characters' stories are somewhat connected. But that's all, just a narration POV from the MC that their storylines are indeed coming together to make a full complete story. But in reality, the story failed to display that to the audience. Never mind if the new characters lack their origin story for the audience to know how they have come to be, the story never really make full use of these characters to even develop the main MCs and main Support characters. It just seemed like the creators wanted to create and showcase more pretty boys. (I am not reviewing the musical storylines as part of the story aspect, I consider them under Sound).

As with the previous seasons, the Art and Sound are a cut above the Story. The animation (reviewing this under Art) for this season seem to be lacking more than the previous 2, not like the animation production was really stellar for the previous seasons, but in this season, it is a lot more obvious that the animation is lacking. There are a lot of still frames instead of animated movements, and is most obvious when the moments build up to some sort of surprise/ revelation, and the scene is just a motionless character with some sound effects to create the "oooh" element. Or even more lame is that instead of showing how awesome the character is through animated movements, they just added a few frames of feathers and/or droplets of sparkling sweat. Though after all is said about the animation, the design of the characters, the stage, the costumes, and the lame sweat (hahah~) are really pleasing to the eyes, It would be great if the animation quality can match up to the Art style of this anime~ It would be more dynamic.
The musical aspect did improved significantly as compared to season 1. Hahaha~ Now the musical scenes are more naturally build-up and followed-up by the regular scenes. Though there's one thing that doesn't sit well with me since season 1. That is, there are several instances with sound effects of a gaming scene. Quite the irony since most of the songs in this series are pretty fabulous, yet the sound effects of certain motions and "revelations" sounded really cheap. But overall, is not something I will discount the Sound score for.

For the Characters in this season.... I do think that the new characters introduced are pretty interesting and refreshing. But as I mentioned above, the story really did not showcase them enough. The new characters are underdeveloped, while the existing characters are developed, marginally, through rough and awkward storylines. All the character designs in this series are pretty much above average, even among my top scoring animes, it is just a pity that the story cannot bring out more of the characters' persona beyond their introduction.

Mixed Feelings

I was looking forward to the new season for a year or so, and honestly, it was quite disappointing. Even after the last episode, I still didn't feel the satisfaction I usually felt after watching episodes of season 1 and 2. I felt like, even in those 12 seasons there was very little going on and the plot seems recycled from the first season. I honestly couldn't understand why the antagonists were doing what they're doing, especially since the same argument have been solved in the previous seasons. I liked the new characters, but it felt like we barely had any time to get to ...

I legitimately do not understand why or how this anime even managed to get a third season, especially so out of the blue. The first season was a pile of the most generic clichés and stereotypes, without even mortar to hold them together, about a few boys who had to learn to work together. The second season introduced more characters that had to learn to work together, so everyone had less screentime to help you even remember their names. And here's the third season, which... seems to add even more characters who have to learn to work together? Some of those are apparent upperclassmen, even, ...
