Despite their childhood attraction to her, they realize she is a mere shadow of the "princess" they all thought they knew. This story of summer - love, friendship, school, family, the hypocrisy of adults, complications of life, experience and failure is set in an everyday shopping district and shows the clumsiness of children who have developed a little later than their peers. It's a bright romantic comedy that both young and old can appreciate.
That's the main premise of "Stand Up!!" I've only watched the first episode, but I am eager to see what the summer holds for these kids. I think it shows a lot of potential, and I'm wondering where it will go morally. (I was kinda shocked to hear that the idea of abstinence is "Something people do in the US." However, I found it cool that one of the characters is striving for purity. The shower scene was hilarious, though everyone might not think so.) So... Has anybody seen it? What are your thoughts, if so? I'd like to hear them.
