It is a touching story set in an MMORPG. It was written by Noritake Tao, the original character designs were by Buta, the director was Yoshito Ninshouji, and the animation was by Lerche. This work was loved by many viewers for its depiction of friendship and promises within a game, and the boundary between the real and virtual worlds. The appeal of the storyThe story of "Seven Stars: Reunion" depicts the reunion and growth of the members of "Subaru," a party of elementary school students who played an active role in the once globally popular MMORPG "Union." The story begins with the shocking development that Asahihime, who dies in the game, also dies in real life, and centers around their reunion six years later in the new "Reunion." This setting leaves a strong impact on viewers, presenting a profound theme that questions the boundary between games and reality. The scene where Yosho reunites with Asahihime deeply touches the viewer's heart. The mystery of whether she is an electronic ghost or something else is revealed as the story progresses, drawing the viewer in. The childhood friends' adventure to fulfill their promise also portrays the importance of friendship and bonds, leading to a touching conclusion. Character AppealThe characters in "Seven Stars: Subaru" are all unique and attractive. The main character, Amano Yoto, is a positive boy with leadership skills, and even after Asahihime's death, he continues to live on, never forgetting his promise to her. His growth and determination evoke strong empathy from the audience. Kuga Asahihime is a bright and lively girl, and her death is a major turning point in the story. Her unique sense of "future vision (Profeata)" is an important key to the story, and the story depicts how her existence affects Haruto and the others. Satsuki Usui is a kind girl who cares for Yoto, and her sense of magic is the ability to manifest magic through a contract with a spirit. Her growth and compassion for Yoto add depth to the story. Takanori Mikado is a complex character who, while calm and intelligent, comes to hate Yoto because of his feelings for Asahihime. His Sense, "Tenri," is an ability that allows him to not only analyze and decompose, but also to transfer matter, and plays an important role in key scenes of the story. Clive Veverley has a free-spirited personality and is the only person to log in from overseas to join Subaru. His Sense "Transformation" is the ability to change the nature and attributes of objects, and his unpredictable behavior adds thrills to the story. Nozomi Kusaka is a shy girl who, six years later, is now a magazine reader model. Her sense of "dream world" is the ability to make her imagination a reality, and her growth and change are depicted. Elysia appears before Yosho and his friends as a mysterious girl who seems to know something about Asahihime's appearance. Her sense, "Shinki Fuin", has the power to seal the other person's senses and is an important key to the story. Visuals and MusicThe visuals of "Seven Stars of Reiwa" are beautifully drawn and colored by Lerche, bringing the world of the game to life. The character designs are by Buta, and they are all unique and charming. The designs of the magic circles, monsters, spirits, and more are also meticulously detailed, making the game visually appealing. In terms of music, the opening theme "360° Star Orchestra" is performed by petit milady, with lyrics, composition, and editing by hisakuni. This song will capture the hearts of viewers with its beautiful melody that symbolizes the story's themes of friendship and promises. The ending theme "Starlight" is sung by Yamazaki Erii, with lyrics and composition by Kaneko Mayumi, and editing by Sato Kiyoyoshi. This song will stay deeply in the hearts of viewers with its gentle melody that complements the story's moving ending.
