Episode 1:
Pretty fun start, even the OP song has a classical feel to it. The humor is pretty amusing, a lot of segments that are quite overexaggerated. In the meantime, we meet the main characters as well. I find Beethoven to stand out the most of out of the main characters. Good start so far. The music is very catchy with the classical style.

Oh, and is it just me or they dropped a couple Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy references in there? The tablet robot makes me think of the Guide, the email was sent 42 days earlier, and the entire story kicks in with a demolition and wrecking balls in front of the protagonist's house.

Ep 01
That is all! ... Okay, not quite that, but I must admit that the first episode was extraordinarily silly, but enjoyable. I laughed, and laughed a lot. At the moment I am kinda wondering how they are going to turn this utterly bizarre premise into a two cour series - it seems like it would do well for a 5-6 OVA series or a one hour at best.... Well, that's just a first impression, of course, but I will be willing to give the next ep a try.

I didn't know what to expect from this show aside of what I've seen in the PVs, and at this point... I still don't really know what to expect. Like, I thought I was keeping it together, I thought "I'm okay, I've got this" even when Beethoven did his thing, but the dancing mechs still took me by surprise. You got me, show - I'll be back for more. The cast is doing fine (Shimazaki Nobunaga continues being one of my favorite not-new-at-all-but-still-newish faces), although I really would have preferred someone else playing Beethoven, because Sugita is pretty much doing Sugita here, but eh, I'll survive. |

Hum... The episode wasn't as insane as I was expecting. Also "Beethoven" reminds me a lot of Gintoki from Gintama. Not just the voice but the strange obliviousness as well.
Also glad to see I wasn't the only one drawing the guide comparisons. They really laid them on thick

Episode 1
Based on the preview material, I expected this to be crazy. And I am not disappointed. Lol Beethoven cooking food and Mozart roller skating in the house and then swinging like Tarzan in the house. I seriously doubt Mozart was this crazy lol. And poor Kanae has to deal with these retards. And there are more classical music dudes with Bach supposedly being the big villain. This shit was crazy and I like it. |

I have mixed feelings on this one. On the one hand, this feels so retarded I want to drop it. On the other hand, this feel so retarded that I want to keep watching for exactly that. It'll be a 50/50 depending on my mood. I see the appeal in this one, but half of me doesn't actually find it appealing. Will give it a few more episodes, I might just get used to it. For now, it is a weird but fun ride for what's it worth.
