Stars Align/Hoshiai no Sora
Nov. 30th, 2019 07:59 pmThis season's queer anime that everyone's talking about!
Turns out it's:
50% Sports Anime (about soft tennis, which I didn't even know was a thing)
40% Cute Boys Being Friends
10% ANGST and serious social issues, including an explicitly non binary character
I have been quite enjoying it! But a big content note for parental abuse as a repeated theme, I think it's handled fairly well but it gets a lot darker than you might expect from the light tone of the rest of the show.
Also, it has the best "cast dance to pop music" closing credits I have ever seen. Everyone dances in character! Which in some cases means dancing for like 2 seconds then sitting down, or refusing to dance at all. The credits don't have any spoilers, and give a nice idea of how cute the show is.
It's streaming on Animelab in Australia, and is on Funimation's website in the US.
( no spoilers just me rambling )
