At first I hesitated to start watching this show, since it started out rather slowly. But afterward, I thought I should reserve judgment till I've watched at least 3 episodes. I kept watching as it strangely pulled me in. All the scenarios are very realistic and that aspect really drew me into it, since I can somewhat relate to auditioning and performing. All the anxiety and tension of the auditions and the nervousness of performances are captured brilliantly in this series.
The storyline, however, failed to meet my expectations. This was in part due to the ending of the series. Although it has yet to be aired on Crunchyroll, I found it on another anime-streaming website. I hated the ending for it's inconclusiveness.

The relationship between Maya and Masumi was inconclusive. The role of the Scarlet angel was left inconclusive. Basically all of the major plots that this series was built around was left inconclusively
Aside from that, I enjoyed it. It reminded me of skip beat in someways, but it did have it's own unique features as well. The pace of the series was relatively good. Sometimes the drama was a little over the top, but that's also a unique aspect of the series. I enjoyed it....all except for the ending. However, I've heard that the manga is still not completed, so I guess that would explain the inconclusiveness of the series.
However, on the whole I recommend it.
