About UniteUp!

Looking for background on UniteUp!? This music and slice of life series by CloverWorks (2023) starts out like this. The premise: The anime's story centers on Akira Kiyose, who sings on a video streaming site under the singer name "KIKUNOYU. One day the talent agency sMiLea Production scouts him. sMiLea is an agency founded by the retired legendary idol pair AneLa to train new budding idols.

Another thread: Akira then forms an idol group with Banri Naoe and Chihiro Isuzugawa, who were also scouted. Their new group, Protostar, will have their debut alongside other new idol groups with sMiLea Production: Legit and Jaxx Jaxx.

As a music title, performance scenes and soundtrack choices are central. Akira Kiyose (Kikunosuke Toya) and Chihiro Isuzugawa (Amon Hirai) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who care about music and live performance. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by CloverWorks, so the studio's house style defines how UniteUp! looks and moves on screen. Within the music category, performance scenes and soundtrack choices are central. With a 6.7/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Kikunosuke Toya as Akira Kiyose, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 2023, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
