Kageki Shojo!!

It's a real shame that this anime is so hidden. Seriously, I don't get it, because it's really good but almost no one has heard of it. This is a really strong, character-based story about some students studying in a famous Musical And Theatrical School pursuing their career in theatre. I really liked the character development in this anime. Some characters, yes, are very one-dimensional and annoying, but most of the main characters are well explored and the bonding between the main 2 characters is really well done. I really liked the main character, Sarasa. Initially she seemed like your usual joyful female anime protagonist but as the anime goes on, we learn more about her determination to be an actress. I also liked that they showed a lot of things an actress has to go through to pursue their dreams. Also, this show is gutsy. I mean they show some really, REALLY traumatic stuff while exploring some character's past. I was not expecting that at all. But that just made their character arcs more satisfying.
