The plot of this anime is more on the teenage high school genre where an ordinary teenage girl named Kirari Tsukishima wanted to become a popular teen idol. It all started when she had this huge crush on a teenage male idol named Seiji. Due to accidental ‘circumstances’, she was able to get closer to him and meet Seiji and Hiroto, who are both the most popular teenage male idols in Japan at that time, and were also called as “SHIPS”.

Upon discovery of Kirari’s cheerful & happy-go-lucky personality, the director of the company hiring SHIPS, decided to recruit Kirari as their latest idol. With the recognition of her dream, Kirari then tries her best to become an idol and be closer to her crush, Seiji.

Kirari, after becoming an idol, became very popular because of her cheerful & optimistic personality. She became very good friends with the SHIPS, all the time, thinking she was in love with Seiji. But as time passes by, she realizes that it was Hiroto who helped her in so many ways more than Seiji could.

The plot is okay, given the fact that there is a mixture of comedy and a bit of drama here and there. The story is very good for targeted teenage viewers, especially since the theme is about an ordinary girl getting instant popularity and trying her best not to degrade her reputation in the entertainment industry, and yeah, it also contains, a typical love at first site theme. It does not contain any mature content that may be offensive for kids.

The ways the characters are drawn are not exactly what you would call “eye-catching”, but it was okay. Although the anime is not entirely focused on the way the characters are drawn, it focuses more on its plot. There are some scenes that are monotonous and repetitive, like example, in a scene where Kirari had to practice a concert dance.

The songs are good, and Hiroto’s voice is great. The only downside is Kirari’s voice. Her voice is way too high-pitched and annoying, but Hiroto’s and Seiji’s voice acting takes the cake. So setting aside Kirari’s voice, the quality is good. The opening and ending song is bouncy enough not to get you bored at the start. It has an upbeat rhythm which matches the personality of the character Kirari.

Kirarin Revolution is an anime worth to kick some boredom out of your everyday monotonous daily routine in your life.
