(L+CR) Classicaloid (S1 & S2) Anticipation

[Gan_HOPE326]

I will stick with it if they kick up the Over-The-Top antics to eleven. I don't care for Mozart being silly. I don't care for the drama surrounding selling or not an old house. But if I get more inanimate objects having a mecha dance-off at the tune of a rock arrangement of Beethoven, sign me up. Or even better, a music battle between Classicaloids. That'd be the stuff of dreams. What I need is an entire show's worth of the Nonon Jakuzure battle from Kill La Kill, basically.

[DragoonKain3]

The weirdness combined with action and comedy reminds me a lot of Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi, complete with giant frigging robots!

Biggest surprise for the season for me; I can't believe how much I enjoyed the entire show. Maybe even top 3 pilot of the cour?

Episode 2:

Well I have to admit, that was one hell of a party and a creative/ecchi way to present the cake LOL

Pretty crazy episode again as I had expected. Mozart is slowly becoming my favorite character in the show, he's just so fun to watch with that personality of his.

[Dop]

Oppai cakes reminded me that someone I know used to have a recipe book for "erotic cakes".

Fun show, but I'm hoping the background plot starts to step up more soon.

[kuromitsu]

This episode was a bit less crazy as the first, but it made me laugh nevertheless. Mozart is funny, and I loved the extended training sequence, especially how, by the end, Beethoven & Mozart lost sight of what exactly they were training for. The Musik scene was also pretty cute.

If I have any complaints so far it's that the music itself is just... not all that special, especially given the fanfare about what big names they got to "produce" music for the characters. Beethoven's producer is none other than Hotei Tomoyasu, one of my favorite JRock/JPop personalities who's composed some really awesome music during his career (this little no-name song, for example), and yet Beethoven's music itself is kind of meh. Mozart's producer is tofubeats so honestly I didn't expect much, and that's what I got - it's cute but not anything special. I hope it will be better for the other Musik-holder characters...

Yes, he's really fun, and also kind of cute. Kind of adorably annoying.

Also, before anyone complains about Mozart being "out of character" or anything, here's some background reading:
http://www.humanitiesresource.com/ne...artletters.htm
https://www.theguardian.com/books/20...iography.music
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leck_mich_im_Arsch
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bona_nox
(Hell, just generally: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozart_and_scatology
Obviously poop/fart jokes were more socially accepted back then as today, but still, haha.)

So if anything, ClassicaLoid!Mozart is being toned down...

Well, yeah, that's the point, he IS out of character. For being too tame .

I found the episode funnier than the first, but frankly the idol-like rendition of Ein kleine nachtmusic... EH. I preferred the first episode's 7th symphony arrangement. I wonder if we'll get one different Musik - and one differend ED - each episode. I really, REALLY look forward to Bach's if that's the case. I mean, he seems villainous or ominous at best so it HAS to be the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. That's, like, the original boss music. In fact I'd say Orochimaru's Theme in Naruto was probably inspired by it in points.

Well, this airs on NHK, after all. (NHK-E, to be exact.) Anyway, I just put that there because I've seen people complaining that Mozart was being misrepresented and not taken seriously enough. (One would think people would realize that this is not the kind of show that takes characters very seriously. )

I really had my expectation high for Beethoven, but so far I find the Musik (haha) a letdown, although if I had to choose I'd also choose Beethoven's. (It was Symphony 6, btw.) But there's also that I personally think that Eine kleine Nachtmusik is a bit too much of a cliché, so I can't really get excited about it. Anyway, maybe we'll have some new music for the main characters, though? The show is 25 episodes, so it's not like there's no time...

Bach's producer is Tsunku, of all people, soooo I wouldn't expect too much. But yes, it will be the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, at least going by the title (「How to Win! ～トッカータとフーガより～」) That piece is awesome by default so it's not like they can go too wrong with it, but the offerings so far weren't exactly bursting with creativity so...

Episode 2

So these guys are really retarded lol. They were using Souseke as a wrecking ball lol. And Mozart was really a pervert. Good to know. These guys do the Musik thing when they remember something from the past. And Mozart happened to remember that he got slapped by females in the past too. I wonder if he really did make an oppai cake at any point in his life. Also, Bach managing J pop idols was lol.

[Magewolf]

That was some impressive lack of animation this episode. How many stills were there? And the music was a bit of a let down.

However it was funny. They seem to be going for the one sane person in a world of idiots and doing a pretty good job of it so far.

Yeah, being NHK I suspect this is somewhat meant to be an educational show for the younger audiences - making them acquainted with the classics of western music through contamination with the J-Pop they probably know and love. Which is a pretty commendable purpose , but might make the show not too interesting on the long run due to excessive childishness .

I don't know that guy and I can't read that title, but... I'll trust you on this, I guess. Eh, too bad then. Still, as you said, it would REALLY take some dedication to ruin that piece. Here's to hoping we'll get a flash of inspiration somewhere down the line. The idea behind this show is pretty awesome but the soundtrack is not up to snuff.

By the way my favourite rock arrangement of Mozart's Ein Kleine Nachtmusik stays this one ...

Ah, the title is "How To Win! ~From Toccata and Fugue~" So that kind of points towards that piece, haha.

The lyrics are certainly special!

Episode 3

Another crazy episode this week.

However this time, Liszt (the blonde girl) caught my attention the most. That music video presented was also quite catchy with style. The way the music was conducted also gave me a feel of classical music. Very catchy. Liszt's green outfit also works surprising well imo.

It's all about love! I hope she makes another highlight in the future, she's so fun to watch.

[Sides]

^_^ watching this anime is like tripping, without taking funny substances. It is weird, but enjoyable.

[Dawnstorm]

Polls that matter:

Which pet would you prefer?

a) Frederic Chopin in a box
b) Shoebill in a scarf

Episode 3

So there was a hidden tenant in the house who is Beethoven's gyoza fairy and Mozart's Don-chan. But he's actually Chopin who can't handle strangers well. And Souske had been chatting with him all this time. And Lisz-chan comes to find him and ends up finding Beethoven and Mozart too who all ran away from Bach's idol agency or whatever lol. And why did they have to turn Liszt into a female? Lol Mozart was jealous of those boobs. And now some dude is gonna come who claims to be Beethoven's kouhai or whatever. Gonna be a pain in his ass since that's exactly what he needs lol.

[kuromitsu]

This was another great episode! This show is so much fun. CryingDarkAngel, oh my god Sousuke! And Liszt's little puttos were amazing, especially how they came pretty much out of nowhere. XD

Chocchan is kind of cute and Liszt is really fun. (At first I was really confused over Chopin's name, but in the end he introduced himself with the proper pronunciation so I guess he was just using "chopin" as a screen handle/idol name/whatever.) The Musik music was also more inspired in this episode than in the previous ones, and they fit the show's tone really well. I hope we'll hear more of Chopin's Musik, since this time we got Liszt's as the ending.

All things considered, though, CryingDarkAngel Sousuke continues to be my favorite!

And in today's relatable scene: Mozart with the bouncy balls. Come on, who didn't do this as a kid?

I also like that her normal outfit is red-white-green. I wonder if it's on purpose (probably is but it's anime so who knows).

Well, as Liszt said, it doesn't really matter, does it.

By the way, trivia but little Liszt did in fact meet Beethoven in person, a few years before the latter's death.

[Celes]

Ah, episode 3... good stuff.

Am I the only one who gawked at the bodybuilder cupids? They were adorably ridiculous.

I love how this show refuses to take itself seriously!

[Yamada II]

Episode 4

So we have Schubert here who is searching for Beethoven-senpai. He travels all across the land in search of his senpai, making people literally act like babies on the way, making perfect gyoza on his first try, becoming a super suspicious guy, only to be unable to properly meet Beethoven when he ends up seeing him lol. I liked this retard. He hates Mozart because everyone used to call him a Mozart ripoff, but he admires Beethoven a little too much.

One thing they showed here is that Beethoven and Mozart escaped from some big facility or something and were wearing full white clothesand were with some suited fellow. Schubert was surrounded by some weird containers or something and wasn't clothed at all I think. Someone is probably cloning these famous musicians and is sending them out for whatever purpose. Bach is probably running his agency either on orders of whoever is behind this or is doing so to keep all these freaks together in one place but is failing since they're all running away to do whatever.

All these episodes are only introducing the retards in the cast while giving really tiny hints towards what's going on and stuff. Since this is a 2 cour show, it'll take some time before they really go into whatever plot they have in store for us, if they have any that is.

[Stark700]

Episode 5

Well that all confirms it..

This show really has a serious thing for gyoza. (it even got me hungry as I also really like the taste of gyoza) The music performance this episode was rather flashy as well. That twist at the end though.

[Celes]

I watched National Geographic's Homewrecker Penguin video just before watching this episode.

I now feel a tad freaked out with Beethoven's "Emperor"
