Uta no Prince-sama Maji Love 2000% - Op.3

With such skills, Sho could pretty much star an anime of his own.

After the first two episodes dedicated to character presentation, we now enter into the character development phase, in which there will probably be one episode for each of the main characters, much like the first season had - in episode 3, the main character is Sho Kurusu.

As coworkers, I want more BL with these two...

Ryuuya-sensei will be starring a new action movie and Sho was cast as a supporting role - needless to say, Sho is very eager to be in the same movie as his much adored idol.
As Cecil questions all the other party members about 'being an idol is doing more than singing', Saotome shows up and says that all of their skills will be taken into account for their success as an idol group, so everyone kind of gets excited for their jobs being casted aside from music shows.

Sho was supposed to fear high heights,
I wonder how he truly overcome it all so easily...?

At the movie set, as Sho meets with Ryuuya, he flatters him a lot, but Ryuuya is very harsh as he replies, meaning they are now equal as idols - Sho should grow some and stop acting as a rabid fangirl to act as a professional being.
As filming starts, even if Sho excells at action scenes (because of his previous training with martial arts), he is unable to jump a long gap as part of the script says so. The director thinks it's fine and orders a stunt for that scene, however, Sho pledges to try again, and again, and once again, without success. As the director is giving up on Sho, Ryuuya stands at his favor and asks the director to give him more time to practice, and so everyone decides to wrap the day up and continue the filming of this particular scene at another time.

Did I mention how I REALLY like these funny faces? XD

Sho tries very hard to improve his physics, but he is still unable to make the jump distance required. As he is unable to do it, he wonders how is Ryuuya supposed to accept him as equal if he is unable to do everything people require of him.
~cue dramatic moment~

A certain night, Haruka shows up at the set to bring Sho's bag he forgot at the agency, but she messes up badly and almost falls from the platform - Sho, who was at the other side, summons his "otokogi zenkai" powers and finally makes the jump, saving Haruka, who was hanging from the edge of the platform.
The next day, he manages to do the scene on his own, and everyone congrats him, including Ryuuya. Afterwards, Sho thanks Haruka for being enough incentive to do it all, and gifts her his hat.

I know many people find her eyes frightening...
but I can't find anything wrong at all ^^

Turns out even if Sho isn't among my fave characters from UtaPuri, this episode was indeed interesting, not only for Ryuuya's DAT-HIPS, but also for the way the story had been built up, I enjoyed it a lot and am now looking forward every other character... except Ren, of course, because I just can't stand his seiyuu XD
