First off let's make it clear that this series is not AMAZING, not by itself neither for the genres it falls into. But it's not bad either, and I'm seeing it get tons of low ratings in other sites. People aren't even giving it a chance.
Story: 5/10
The story's without a doubt the weakest point of the anime. It's generic, nothing special. A group of 5 failures trying to prove the world that they can actually do things right and thus surprising everyone. That's the main plot, anyway. In the end of the series, tons of things happened that I would never have even imagined. Not like it was a big turn of events anyway.
Art: 6/10
I honestly didn't like the art that much. It's not bad, but it's nothing outstanding either. The character designs are simple, I could even say plain. And it feels like they were running out of hairstyles when they designed Kaito Tsukigami's brother, and simply decided to make him a blue-haired Kuga. But that's fine.
I also never pay attention to the animation whoops. Sorry. But if it didn't get my attention, it's not terrible neither good.
Sound: 9/10
I loved all of the songs, specifically the ending song and Ayanagi Showtime. Most of them sing well, but props to Team Hiragi for being 10 times better than the actual main five. KENN voicing Toraishi got me screaming every time he appeared onscreen.
Then again Team Otori also has great voices, like Hoshitani's and Tsukigami's. I never pay attention to background music so I can't talk about it, but overall I think it was lacking.
Character: 7/10
The main characters had plain personalities and fall into the generic archetypes. The main character is that generic "let's give it our all & let's all be friends" leader. Honestly I love that kind of character, because let's be honest, if the leader was someone who did everything their own way or was too scared/shy to even talk to the members of their team no one would like them. Original? Yeah, that's the least you'd be able to say about a leader like that.
And the other characters, we have blue-haired Kaneki (or Kaito Tsukigami, whatever you prefer to call him) who feels overshadowed by his successful brother, purple-haired Kuga, better known as Haruto Tsukigami. There's the effeminate and motherly-type shy guy, Nayuki, that one guy that thinks he's better than everyone else, and the silent guy.
Then why did I give the Characters such a high score? I'm not going to lie, I love all of the secondary characters. Otori's amazing, and all of the five Team Hiragi guys are amazing as well, though I wish they'd have gotten more screentime - they really didn't, but you can sort of distinguish their personalities with the little time they get.
Enjoyment: 9/10
I love music anime, but only when it's interesting enough to get me going. I really couldn't go past the first episode of Uta no Prince-sama, which has been compared to Starmyu by other people many times. I hate reverse harems, even if they're with singing boys. Just no.
Starmyu had no romance, and I like it much better that way.
Overall: 7/10
Perhaps I scored everything a little higher than it would have actually been, but I really did like this show and despite being a little biased, it's not bad at all. If anything watch up to episode 3-5, give it a chance instead of dropping after reading the synopsis or after episode 1.
