I bought his CD while in Japan but haven't had a chance to listen. Can't wait for the anime! So glad I'm born in November, hehe.

At least Hetalia made some degree of logical sense. Create a bunch of characters that represent the general silly stereotypes about their respective countries, put them in amusing situations reflecting their real international relationships at various points in history, and comedy ensues. But train lines, and now constellations? I just can't wrap my brain around it. Razz

well the games seem to be your basic dating-sim. So I imagine the show would be a reverse harem , only the guys are based off western zodiac constellations.

and your stereotypical teenage girl is a sucker for horoscopes. and I'm assuming more-so when hot guys are involved. so kudos to whatever Japanese marketing businessperson thought this up.

The article is a bit misleading in saying that "the 12 constellations of the Zodiac are turned into handsome young men" in Starry Sky. Each of the guys is supposed to represent a Zodiac sign in the sense that he's, say, very much like a horoscope book's description of a typical Cancer. They aren't literal personifications of the Zodiac the way the guys in Hetalia or Miracle Train are.

The CDs and games are great fun, if a terribly guilty pleasure. I tell myself that it's good Japanese listening practice.
