Oh, boy... If it isn't Yuri on Ice with Sailor Moon coloring-- and not in a good way. King of Prism: Shiny Seven Stars LOOKS like an Idol anime. It LOOKS like Magical Boy anime. It LOOKS like a Kids' anime. It also LOOKS like 13-and-above Shounen Ai anime. Unfortunately, when an anime tries to be everything, the audience usually ends up with nothing-- which exactly what happens once this series reaches the finale. The fun moments are forced, the vulnerable moments are not earned, the characters become annoying overtime, and the conflicts are just downright unrelatable. Not to mention, the penultimate episode which is basicallya desperate, recap episode.

Don't get me wrong. There is still an audience for anime such as this one (also, since this anime shares the same universe as Pretty Rhythm, surely their hardcore fans would dig this one as well). However, in the age when audience and otaku alike desire both joy and depth, perhaps King of Prism: Shiny Seven Stars is just too little too late to be on. It's 2019, guys! You've got to bring it to the next level!
