ClassicaLoid

Mizu★ 6

As a classical musician, I was really thrilled with the premise of this anime. I was excited to see what kind of characterization would take place and how each composer's music would be adapted in a modern day context. With that said, I couldn't finish the first episode the first time around. I wasn't quite ready for the experience ClassicaLoid was trying to give me. We've got a rambunctious house full of maladjusted geniuses. There's a lot of fun, a lot of chaos, and a lot of music. Once you commit to the madness though, you're in for an interesting ride. The Story - 5; Without anyspoilers, I must say that the story is a bit weak and takes a bit to unfold. I'm almost sure that the storyline intentionally takes a backseat to the comedic antics and absurdity that makes the backbone of this show. The last two episodes really floored me, honestly. You watch an anime like this for the experience, not the story. Art - 8; I really like the style and think it works well. Love how each character really has their own aesthetic. Beethoven is undoubtedly Beethoven. What's also nice is that the style remains consistent and there's little/no change in quality over the span of the series. Music - 6; Man, was I let down by some of the arrangements featured in this show. Instead of lamenting some of the weak music, I'll highlight what I did like. The arrangement of the "Alla Turca" from Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 11 into a "Thriller" mashup was borderline genius and hilarious. The story behind and presentation of "Fur Elise" was also hilarious. These two alone kinda overshadow some of the duds and really heightened the comedy for me. Characterization - 6; This is a tough part to talk about because it's probably my biggest gripe with the show. Some characters are done nicely, even if their antics get repetitive or annoying--namely Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt, and Tchaikovsky. Some characters are too one-dimensional for my liking, though. I would've liked to see more out of Chopin, especially his friendship with Liszt. Schubert is basically thrown under the bus from his introductory episode until episode 21. It's a shame he was made to be not a whole lot more than a Beethoven fanboy, when he was quite a composer in his own right historically. It started to grate my nerves how lazy the script would get at times, with Schubert doing nothing more than agreeing with Beethoven or shouting "sempai" intermittently. There's a lot more content to explore with these characters and their musicality outside of odd quirks (like Beethoven wanting to create his own guitar...) wasn't explored a whole lot, which is disappointing, especially with the Musik they wield not having as much context without the whole notion that, hey, these men lived and died by their music. Overall - 6; Many enjoyable moments, but not an anime to be taken seriously or to go into with any expectations whatsoever. The first few episodes are slow, but as soon as you get the first inkling of an idea that this series might be as nuts as it is, you might be hooked.

This anime is made by sunrise the same studio who make gintama and gundam. This anime is really underrated im watching this thanks to some highlited reviews that give score 9&8. If u're fan of comedy well u will not be disappointed dont be fooled by music genre or classical music story plot! No its not focused on classical music at all! Idk why this anime get only 6,5. Firstly the art is amazing 10/10 for some reason I feel nostalgic when see this anime art. the art is like that you see on epic adventure fantasy anime like letter bee,gosick for example but at thesame time it have a modern style too like sad anime anohana or ano natsu de matteru. Its like blend of both of it and its like an art for epic anime. But the art style is rarely used these days and you will see the hint of gintama in this anime. The way they make the jokes,characters, and even how the characters grinning are similar. Story 10/10 I thought that this will be some serious music anime with little comedy but the comedy are so funny and whacky the first 2 min watching this u will already laughing or grinning at least. And this anime should have slice of life genre it have heartwarming story. it doesnt constantly tell about music but the characters life,pasts,family and friends too. The good news is we got 25 eps of it! So you will have quite long journey to the whacky comedy world, heartwarming slice of life story plot and some music. I can say that this anime is an undiscovered gem.
