Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Maji Love Revolutions

The third installment of Uta no Prince-sama showcases the talented QUARTET NIGHT who seem to be outshining ST☆RISH. In their newly assigned teams, individual members from both idol groups must impress Shining Saotome so they can compete for the opening act in an international sporting event. If ST☆RISH succeeds, they will compete against other performing artists from all over Japan.

Nanami Haruka was also assigned by Shining to work with QUARTET NIGHT, earning ST☆RISH's jealousy. The idol groups seem to be in a competition not just for the spot in the competition but also for Haruka's affection.

ST☆RISH needs to step up their game. QUARTET NIGHT has more experience and training and it will take more than charm and good looks from Syo, Natsuki, Cecil, Tokiya, Otoya, Masato, and Ren to win it all.

Maji Love Revolutions was a slight disappointment. However, the quality of the animation and the songs have been consistent with the previous two seasons. One significant change however is the shift of focus to the individual members of QUARTET NIGHT. I admit getting a bit saddened by the change, but ST☆RISH bias aside, the series has been consistent with how it portrays each character. 

Mikaze Ai reveals his secret to Haruka, Natsuki, and Syo. He seems so composed no matter what situation he is in or the role he is playing, but there's more to him than his professionalism. Meanwhile Kurosaki Ranmaru seems like an intense and moody rocker but he translates this passion to his music. Kotobuki Reiji is the all-around nice guy with nothing but kind words for everyone. He seems to be hiding something though. On the other hand, the regal Camus is charismatic and a gentleman but he might be a bit too proud about himself.

One thing I always look forward to are the songs. I was slightly disappointed because they did not show solos from each of the ST☆RISH members. Besides that, I think the quality of the songs did not diminish. Both the opening and ending songs are fun to watch as well. Seeing ST☆RISH and QUARTET NIGHT dance was a treat.

The animation is still great. The character details from hair to clothes were well-though out. As for the story, Uta no Prince-sama's strength isn't in that area. It was the typical get-to-know-this-guy-in-this-episode scheme similar to the previous seasons. It was getting tedious because the story focused on QUARTET NIGHT. However, that twist in the last episode was clever.
