STARMYU English Sub & Dub

About STARMYU

STARMYU (スタミュ) arrives as a comedy anime by C-Station (2015), and the premise is easy to summarize. At its core: The story sets off when Yuuta Hoshiya enters Ayana Academy, a school focusing on show business activities, specifically music. The academy has a group of the three students with the highest grades in the musical department, and they are known as the Kao Kai (Cherry Blossom Flower Association).

Further in, this organization stands at the top of the pecking order within the academy. The shortcut to entering the musical department is to enter the Star Frame class, which is directly taught by the members, and to be recognized by them. Unfortunately, due to their own problems, learners Tōru, Kaito, Shou, Shuu, and Yuuta are all struggling to even remain candidates for the musical department.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Yuuta Hoshitani (Natsuki Hanae) and Shuu Kuga (Tomoaki Maeno) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
