JCStars5/JCTrance19

Fanime Series: Care Bear Stars

JCStars5, or JCTrance19, doesn’t need a complicated introduction. He was a prominent internet artist and voice actor back in the late 2000s & early 2010s. In the fanime community, JC’s influence can be easily spotted.

Before male voice actors like Willard Zenni, TenshiHanka, or Sl1pz hit the fanime scene, JCStars was the OG male VA in the community (at least the only male VA that wasn’t someone’s dad).

He’s voiced in a handful of fanimes, two of his most prominent being “Eternal” and “Alien Fighter”.

Some of JC’s early art on YouTube was fan art for MagicMe123’s fanime “Magic Heart” in 2007…

And of course, he’s the creator of the fanime “Care Bear Stars”, which will be the primary discussion for JC’s lost media here.

Care Bear Stars is a popular fanime from 2008 for several reasons. Its quality in both art style & voice acting, the usage of Care Bears for the magical girl aspect, the protagonist being a magical boy, and most recently its lost media status.

While the episodes have been archived and reuploaded, there’s an unfortunate amount of other content that’s been lost to time. Some stuff has been partially archived through edits, but other things haven't been seen in years. As this was another popular fanime of the late 2000s, there’s a handful of content to talk about.

And as a bonus, check out tai’s art for his fan remake of CBS called “Care Bear Stars R”! There's too many links to add, but tai's most active on YouTube, Tumblr, & Twitter.
