classicaloid is so UNDERRATED. I WILL TELL YOU!
the accuracy of this anime is impeccable and i love it so much. im so happy to see a series depicting these historic musicians as the psychotic bastards they were.
classicaloid is lacking a bit in story but I think it makes up in comedy, BUT I also think you have to be a specific sort of person to enjoy classicaloids humor. I will now go in depth
STORY- 6
The story for this season lacks any meaningful development for a VERY long time. This is because there's no real villainy/obstacle, sure you have the evil mega corp Bach ... and his underlings but throughout the season he's more neutral than anything. If you asked me I couldn't name a single REAL threatening thing he did the entire time. With the concept this anime has you would think they would do more with it, but they do not. I mean you have clones of these figures and they don't do anything but make fart jokes and never pay their rent. To be fair, the story gets miles better in season 2 but thats not relevant right now. The story in this season just consists of the classicaloids messing around and getting into trouble because their bumbling idiots, while land lord Kanae has constant mental breakdowns after asking her tenants to be productive members of society for the 8th episode.
I'm just going to be a little spoilery so don't read if you havent finished but,,
I think Beethoven and Mozart shutting down Bach in trying to let EVERYONE have musik was pretty awful. Like why can't people have musik? If everyone has musik then everyone can share their experiences with the people around them. Like the thing is Mozart and Beethoven didn't shut it down because "Oh, it might be used for evil." They shut it down because "NO! Music is special!!" Like.. WTF does that even mean?? Yes Music is special so why not share it with others?? It just didn't make sense at all and was very selfish of Mozart and Beethoven to do.
ART- 9
GOOD ART!! The main characters have thick lines that no one else does, their designs greatly contrast those around them, overall the art has miles of personality in it. When they use their musik it does feeling like your eyes are bleeding(depending on who uses it) but the actual musik designs are very great!! I love their transformations and I love how they show the exaggeration of the characters personalities through what their wearing. For example the way they show Liszts femininity and over exaggerate Beethovens passion through his leather jacket, and show Chopins degeneracy through his tracksuit. OR hell its not even an exaggeration sometimes, like they made Bach wear a disco oriented getup when he's written maybe like one or two jazzy pieces. The arts just great overall it really suits the characters personalities and makes you question your own state of mind, I love it.
SOUND-9
AMAZING!!!!!! Okay actually half the tracks are a miss but the other half are genius. The music is usually made by this rock band thats not very good so most of the miss tracks come from them. but they are not all bad. As a show about music most of the music are remixes of classical songs, and wow.. I haven't heard such good remixes like how they took the Turkish March and mixed it with Thriller that was brilliant. They absolutely nailed Chopins remixes by using vocaloid, really shows how much of a loser he is!! Whoever did Tchaikos remixes also did them well they are bangers. The Intro theme is really good too, I like how they actually didn't use vocals, (Thank god.) and instead used mostly classicaloid instruemnts. It nods to the period the animes actually based on and lets you focus more on the animation in the beginning. Now the missed themes come from Mozart, Beethoven, and Liszt. The voice actors/singers were doing their best but honestly if they had just not done singing their themes would have been just fine. Like wow, I would've given this a 20 if all of Liszts themes DIDNT HAVE SINGING. WHY DID THEY ADD SINGING?? HIS PIANO PIECES DO NOT EVEN INCLUDE SINGING!!!!!!!!!!
CHARACTERS-9
There is a lack in development and drive to the lives these characters live. And lack of flashbacks for certain characters such as Chopin, Liszt, and others. And I'm talking about like, little or NO development. All other cast has their moments but even those are short lived, and often times they make their moments more dramatic then needed to be. But that I feel is overshadowed by their gimmicks and eccentric personalities. I just love things that are ridiculous and their characters are so ridiculous enough that the lack of flashbacks Isn't a deal breaker for me. I enjoy the clones of these figures making a name for themselves, because after all these ARENT the real composers their just clones.
I wish they expanded more on that, it would've been nice if the characters thought more about what it meant just being clones.
But anyway wow the characters, absolute maniacs. It really shows how undignified most composers were in their personal lives and this show makes them human by showing us that. Of course Schubert and a couple other characters aren't exactly accurate, but Liszt, Chopin, Mozart, and Beethoven are wildly similar to their real life counterparts. Mozart will always be insane.
But anyway, Bach had a good character and I think he was a good Neutral Villian. I think this show needed a stronger Villian character, but Bach in general had a nice motivation for doing what he wanted to do. Tchaiko and Bada being paired together against their will I think was very funny, and good for contrast of character.
ENJOYMENT-10
This is gonna be my favorite anime for a while just because of how entertaining it is. Like the gags do get repetitive sometimes but when you finish the anime it really becomes nostalgic. This isn't the anime to watch if your looking for meaningful story, but it is the anime to watch if your looking for laughs and the memory to look back on it and be like.. Yeah, that was pretty ridiculous. I've rewatched it like twice.
Overall I give it a 10 just because I think this anime deserves a better score. My real rating would be an 8. But anyway, this really does pander to a small group of people. If you think of composers to be dignified people who were very formal your not going to like this anime. If you wanted MALE anime Liszt, you are NOT going to like this anime but I suggest you stick around for season 2 to see him for 2 minutes. Just lower your expectations before watching.. Please.
This isn't a really general public anime, but you can still enjoy it without know thing references!! It's funny either way.
