Uta no Prince-Sama 2 ep 1 (are you ready?)

it's back! our favorite music composing, strawberry-lemonade eyed heroine and her band of brother-husband pop- idols are here for another season, and they've still got it! in the first episode's introduction kind of made me feel like I was watching a behind the music special on Starish after Ren had lost his hair, half of them had come out of the closet and Tokiya had brutally murdered the red headed one. but no, it got right back on track with another one of those awe-inspiring performances, and I mean that with absolutely no sarcasm. The animation in these numbers is fantastic, as it's traditionally drawn and CG makes no appearance, as opposed to last seasons love-live where every number looked kind of out of place with the show. and I truly appreciate the effort put into every thrust, shimmy and shake.

 The whole ep is basically just a reintroduction of the guys and what their respective characters are supposed to act like, Nanami, and for some reason Tomoe-chan keeps making random, unjustified appearances for some reason. Now that they have all  graduated from idol high school they do the only thing that makes sense, idol college, duh. Which requires all of them to live under one roof with Nanami and three veteran pop-idols. We also get an appearance from my favorite character: Nanami's hallucination, Indian dude! he was also part of the little dance thing at the beginning so who knows? maybe this was a psychological thriller all along?

The reason why i love this show is because of how absolutely ludicrous everything is. It makes me laugh for all the wrong reasons. It's my guilty pleasure. plus, you know, hip-thrusting boys and all.
