Uta no Prince Sama first impression and predictions

Every thing is so beautiful!  THE ANIMATION!  whooooooOOOOOOOOO!
THE GUYS!  Help I'm dying.  First off, you should all know by now that I have a thing for animated hands.  Going through my sketchbooks you'll see pages of just hands.  This show, with it's wonderful animation, has some of the best hands ever.  The dance sequences and hands might be rotoscoped but you know how much I care about that?  0%  In fact, I wish more anime would rotoscope because I hate watching horrible walk cycles. I know for sure that the company that made this is the same as Kamiaso (and I'm guessing Hakuouki and Amnesia as well) because of the character designer.  The way they draw noses and the little line under the eyes.  I need to track down that artist's other work because I'm starting to pick up stuff from that style.  I'm just loving all the guys even though it's following typical otome guy tropes.  I'm wondering if there's any way out of that.  Lets see if I can do some predictions.  I'm on episode 3 right now.
Everything will be cute and happy till episode 6 or 7 when one of the main guys will heel face turn and try to rape Haruka.  I bet you anything it's Mr Ren himself.  He's got a lot of power, money, and women fawning over him.  She'll be able to escape but he'll try to get her expelled because of the no romance rule.
I really liked him at first because he's pretty much a ginger tomomasa but I have little hope in him being a good relationship knowing these other otome companies.  Whatever problem he has is going to be huge and I just know I'm going to be hating the guts out of this guy by the end of episode 5.





Our Magane of the series, Natsuki, I can see from here that he's got deep family problems.  Some one in his family is dead and I'm thinking it might be a little sister.  that could be why he likes cute things so much.  He's great for humor but just you watch, episode 7 or 8, he'll reveal a family issue bomb like you wouldn't believe.  I wouldn't even put him past accidentally killing some one or pretending to be cute and innocent in order to use the main character.  He's going to snap, I just know it.





Otoya is a little too happy for his own good.  I'm thinking he's hiding beneath that smile a sad childhood.  Single parent home perhaps?  Parent passing away or taking their own life?  I know, MISSING FATHER.  All I know is that the happier the person, the harder they are trying to hide sadness.  Somewhere along the way he learned to smile through rough things.  Just you watch.







Masato.  I had this guy pinned the moment I saw him.  Make the audience think he's a jerk then reveal that he's just a shy awkward sweetheart.  I just wasn't expecting it by episode 3.  That was fast.  Oh he's a cutie.  His hair, I just cant get over that fantastic hair and his little beauty mark.  3 episodes in and I'm completely attached to this character.  Oh, there's the Hades crush kicking in.





hmmm  Tokiya.  Where should I put you?  You're the main love interest that the show is pushing for besides Otoya.  Will you change your attitude though?  will you be a complete jerk till the end?  Please don't fall for the jerk.  Oh, I just know he's still going to be a jerk and she'll fall for him.  Also, I think the whole "him having a twin" thing is a lie.  He's Hayato and that's just a act that  he has to put on that he hates.  that wont be till episode 11 or 12.





Here to fill the Shota Quota is ... syo.  That's kind of a weird way of romanizing his name.  It's pronounced sho.  Meh, whatever.  He's also the Tsundere of the group.  He doesn't have any problems besides his anger over how short he is.  I'll be a bit shocked if there's more to his story.  He is a fun character design though, that's for sure.





Well then, that should be every one.  I hate how every one in the class and shcool are encouraged to be mean to each other.  One of the guys will nearly rape Haruka, she'll be threatened to be kicked out, one of the guys will only pretend to like her and use her for her talent and She'll end up with Tokiya the jerk.

Lets see how many of these I got right.
