ClassicaLoid

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.

Music is a universal language, but nobody understands Bach. Story: Famous composers have come to life (again) to do…something. The plot is very thin with this anime. There is an actual purpose for the creation of the Classicaloids, but it’s irrelevant for most of its run. Only within the last 2 or 3 episodes does something reminiscent of a plot happen, until then we are treated to a lot of episodic nonsense. I found the comedy to be very repetitive, it’s basically one of the Classicaloids acting like a total numbnut, causing a massive chaos or one of them gone missing and the others (for whatever reason)wanting them back. The introductory episodes in the beginning of the series were the best in my eyes, since the characters were still fresh by then and the interactions not stale yet. While many anime nowadays suffer from being only 1-cour, Classicaloid would have done so much better if it was, instead we get a heavily dragged out 2-cour anime that gets boring way too fast. 3/10 Art: It’s…colorful. That’s almost all the positive things I have to say about the art. The characters look somewhat clunky and unreal with those big borders around them. There are tons of off-model shots as well. The animation isn’t much to brag about either, only the times the Classicaloids use their powers look slightly appealing, but after a while these effects start to lose their charms. I sometimes got the feeling Studio Sunrise is trying to produce a Trigger show but they don’t know how to do that, but I have a wild imagination, so don’t take this as a fact. Bottom line, Classicaloid looks very cheap and lackluster and it doesn’t feel like the animation department was very ambitious with this show. 3/10 Sound: An anime about music should sound extraordinary good, shouldn’t it? Well, not really. Obviously, we get to hear a lot of classical compositions of the characters’ namesakes, but unfortunately they are mostly mediocre at best J-Pop mixes of said pieces. There are a few positive exceptions, like Mozart’s Turkish March remixed with Michael Jackson’s Thriller or the show’s version of Swan Lake, but most of them sound very lame. The voice acting is okay mostly, there’s nobody doing a bad job there. The opening song falls into the same category as the rest of the soundtrack while the endings are just reprises of songs used in the respective episode. I mean, it’s cool they use all those classic pieces at all (and possibly teach young viewers about their composers), but it could have been done so much better. 4/10 Characters: The composers are portrayed as exaggerations of the originals. Mozart for example is a carefree, childish ladies man, Tchaikovsky is a grumpy alcoholic and so on. This may get old really fast (and it does), but it’s not that much of a problem. I was much more horrified by the sheer amount of dickery they evince towards each other and even more towards Kanae. That poor girl is forced to let them stay at her house, she does all the housework, cleans, cooks, washes, and all they ever do is make her life as miserable as possible. The same goes for Sousuke, who is basically a humanoid parasite. Maybe the show would have been more enjoyable if it had more likeable characters. 3/10 Enjoyment: There are tons of anime that should be 2-cours or more, but are forced to squeeze themselves into 12 or 13 episodes. Classicaloid is the exact opposite. At least half of the episodes were screaming “FILLER!” into my face, provided one beliefs that this show has an actual ongoing story. Classicaloid CAN be funny at times, but these times are so rare, that it just bored me most of the time. I mean, just look at how lackluster this review is. It didn’t hurt to watch and I didn’t want to end my life or anything, but if I had another chance, I would choose not to watch it again. Maybe you will enjoy it much more, who knows, humor is subjective after all. 3/10 Overall: 3.2/10

(this is my first review, please don't bully) well, this sure was a ride,and one that i enjoyed a lot! Story 8/10: Kanae is a young girl who just inherited her grandmother's house, but for some reason, Beethoven and Mozart are living there. no, they aren't the actual Beethoven and Mozart, they are classicaloids, artificial humans created in order to "create the perfect instrument" and have the power of musik, a magical girl-ish power that happens when they have strong feelings. Yes, this is a mess, but one that i enjoyed a lot! the show follows a mostly episodic format with one and another that creates anactual story, the comedy is splendid but really ridiculous and childish at times, to enjoy this anime you need to be chill and don't take it that seriously Art 7/10: Those bright and colorful colors were what got me here in first place, everything is so colorful and bright it hurts my ayes(and i love it), the drawing style in general is super cartoony and goes really well with the show in general. the animation is ok, it gets better when the "musik" scenes happen, but none than that is just fine. Sound 9/10: i must say i'm not an expert in music, but this show's OST is one of my favourites of all time. All the songs( except from the opening, that is a really nice instrumental piece) are sampled versions of classical music mixed with pop-ish sounds and lyrics that are most of the time way deeper than what you expect. Voice acting is good too, nothing else i can say. Characters 7/10: they could be deep...could. All the characters are just exaggerated versions of their real life counterparts, Beethoven is an impulsive dude who gets obsessed over things easily, Mozart a care-free pervert, Schubert a gentleman obsessed with his senpai and so the lists goes on. i loved every single character in the series, but i think they deserved a lot more of development(we don't see any development for Schubert until episode 21 for example) Enjoyment 9/10: As i said, this was a ride i enjoyed a lot. i haven't laughed that much with an anime since nichijou, and it made me feel happy! when i saw that lot of negative comments i thought i wouldn't enjoy this, but man i did. Sit down, relax and enjoy classicaloid, even if it's ridiculous and surrealist, just fall in love with the musik. Overall rating: 8, nothing near perfection but enjoyable nonetheless

Classicaloids is. A lot to take in. It's not good, BUT it's fun. It's extremely fun, and the colors, sounds, and characters are all enjoyable, even if the story is just off the wall unusual. Classicaloids is, in short, about the clones? Reborn versions? Of classical composers like Mozart, Chopin, Schubert, ect. Living in the modern era with their creators(?) daughter in a huge mansion. They are all bubbly, fun, colorful, and completely different from one another, finding their happiness in daily life while also occasionally turning into classical music-themed magical girls and boys. It's not a great anime, it's not even in my topten, but I enjoyed it so thoroughly that I couldn't bear to give it a score below 7. If you want an anime that's colorful, fun, and musical, i'd highly suggest it.
