STARMYU English Sub & Dub

About STARMYU

Meet STARMYU (スタミュ), a comedy, music and slice of life anime by C-Station (2015). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The premise: The story begins 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).

From there, 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, students Tōru, Kaito, Shou, Shuu, and Yuuta are all struggling to even remain candidates for the musical department.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Natsuki Hanae as Yuuta Hoshitani and Tomoaki Maeno as Shuu Kuga. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
