Review of Stars Align
"Hoshiai no Sora is not your average sports anime" its worst. In short it lacks depth in the sports part and animation, the drama part lacks how to do drama properly and feels like a soap opera instead like "que estas haciendo con la liciada" levels. Trying to address modern day problems won't make your show better or more competent at all, and its not a new concept, nothing presented in this show other than the soft tennis club kids having drama its a new concept, but this show has the problem of trying to bite more than what it can eat ending up witha bunch of sub stories that don't progress, lack depth and are ridiculous at a point that i was just laughing at the whole thing on how unbelievable it was, I know fiction is built upon things that are rare which makes the interesting for the most part in this case 8 punching bags who have bad parents, but this show its too much, it treats its problems in a unrealistic way, it just treats its problems like a caricature of reality, if you want to address real problems address them well or at last give more time for shit to progress, there is no need to have 8 punching bags that one of the has its own episode, this is not gumball, you don't have to do that, instead try to make a smaller thing with the time you have if you know what you are doing, i know this was supposed to be 25 eps but its just 12 but i don't thing even with more 13 episodes this thing could be better, maybe it could, maybe when the producers see it made profit which i do not know if it did want to let the director do the second part and i end up amazed with the show, but for what he have now this show is a joke for the drama genre, and i say that being one of the persons who gave Pancreas a good grade when that shit is generic as fuck because i had some kind of enjoyment out of it.
This show has nothing special to offer other than a good idea and terrible execution that got me exited at first but fucked up by the end of it.
