Eternal Dusk Academy (anime)

**Eternal Dusk Academy** (エターナルダスクアカデミー, *Etānaru Dasuku Akademī*) is an anime series which revolves around the lives of the students of the idol school of the same name. The series is currently on its first season.

## Plot

Amamiya Taiyo has been an ordinary girl who just likes reading and writing. Sure, she likes going outside, but other than that, she's couped up. Until one day in the Spring, she sees an ad for an idol school that's close to closing down - unless they find enough idols to perform and save their reputation - about 9 - before Summer starts. This makes Taiyo ecstatic, and before long, she, as well as eight other students, are going to be scouted to join the soon-to-be-defunct Academy.

## Characters

### Idols

* **Amamiya Taiyo** - Central protagonist, Pop-type idol. Taiyo sees herself as an ordinary first year student. She seems to show a strong like towards Mirai especially, and was the first person to approach them.
* **Takamori Miyu** - A former student at Eternal Dusk Academy and another one of Taiyo's friends, Cool-type idol. Due to being jealous of her younger sisters and their flashy talents, she decided to become an idol, but ended up failing Eternal Dusk's entrance exam thanks to Yukiko hacking the idol system. She now attends a public school, and seems to have gotten closer to Mirai.
* **Hanashi Sara** - Taiyo's childhood friend, Cool-type idol. A second year at the academy, Sara is seen as a lazy person, but she seems to know what she's doing as an idol.
* **Tokikawa Mirai** - One of Taiyo's friends, Cool-type idol. A first year at the academy, Mirai is a huge idol otaku, but doesn't have the skill to be an idol themselves. They later find the resolve to perform on their own, and while not doing very well at all, thanks to Taiyo, they passed the entrance exam. They seem to not like Taiyo and hate being approached.
* **Haruhana Saki** - One of Taiyo's new friends, Cute-type idol. A first year at the academy, Saki is a sweet girl, but severely lacks social skills, which seems to annoy her. Saki became an idol to finally get over her shyness and make friends. She also seems to be interested in all sorts of flowers, her favorite being the carnation.
* **Minosora Hibiki** - A third year student, Sexy-type idol. She used to be egotistical and stubborn, caring only about herself and being pretty, similar to how Nene is first seen. Later on, she becomes more ladylike and professional, and is looked up to by many students.
* **Nene** - A major idol at the age of 14, Cute-type idol. A popular idol in this generation, all Nene seems to be concerned about is being cute. However, Nene is a genuine person, and cares deeply for Mirai, treating them like a younger sibling. Even working with Yukiko, she seems to genuinely want the idols at Eternal Dusk to succeed.
* **Aoki Nozomi** - Shiori's childhood and current best friend, Cute/Pop-type idol. Nozomi's always together with Shiori, and is a little bit of a prankster. She has a devil motif as an idol, and she and Shiori have always dreamed of becoming idols, so they enrolled into Eternal Dusk together. They were able to pull off an appeal no one has seen before, granting suspicion from Taiyo.
* **Fujiwara Shiori** - Nozomi's childhood and current best friend, Cool-type idol. Shiori's always been together with Nozomi, and is the more mature of the two. She has a moon motif as an idol, and she and Nozomi have always dreamed of becoming idols, so they enrolled into Eternal Dusk together. They were able to pull off an appeal no one has seen before, granting suspicion from Taiyo.
* **Amelia Lúmine** - American transfer student and Noelle's twin sister, Sexy-type idol. A first year at the academy, Amelia is confident and has traveled from America with her twin sister Noelle to pursue their dreams of being idols. While nice, she can come of as a bit jealous to those she thinks are better than her. She "befriends" Taiyo after Miyu's entrance exam failure.
* **Noelle Lúmine** - American transfer student and Amelia's twin sister, Pop-type idol. A first year at the academy, Noelle, unlike her twin sister, is lacking in confidence and tends to worry about what others think of her, though people tend to not notice this due to her being good at hiding her lack of self confidence, and has traveled from America with her twin sister Amelia to pursue their dreams of being idols. Noelle tends to be very social and seems to enjoy expanding her circle of friends. She "befriends" Taiyo after Miyu's entrance exam failure.
* **Yozora Ruru** - The daughter of a famous idol, and a Cool-type idol. A second year at the academy, Ruru is mature and proper. Her mother was a famous idol before Ruru was born, and Ruru admires her a lot. Her mother supports her dream and gave her extensive training so Ruru could become the best idol she could be. Ruru seems to usually excel on tests.
* **Kurosawa Yukiko** - The main antagonist, Cute/Sexy-type idol. A major idol like Nene, Yukiko gets what she wants when she wants it. She's cunning, and seems to be clever too. While the idols at Eternal Dusk are catching onto her, she won't let herself be defeated. Yukiko currently plots the downfall and hopeful shutdown of Eternal Dusk Academy, and has started up a rival school to go against Eternal Dusk. She currently uses Nene as a means to get her way. However, Nene is beginning to put Yukiko in her place after learning that her sole goal is to damage Nene's idol career.
