ClassicaLoid

Classicaloid is about all the great classical composers brought to life, not exactly but you can see Beethoven and Mozart. They have this mysterious power called musik. As it appears they were made for an unknown reason. It's a very funny and light show with some some action now and then. The best part is Beethoven's unnatural obsession with gyoza. You can relax and enjoy the comedy and the remix of famous classical pieces of music. The art isn't fancy but it goes well with the story. The Classicaloid characters are enjoyable and interesting to watch. Classical music lovers in particular will enjoy this show ... as they watch the makers of their favorite music acting silly instead of picturing them stiff pieces of wood.

**REVIEW IS OUTDATED. IT'LL BE UPDATED ONCE I FINISH THE ANIME**

I'm not the type of person to sit down and write reviews, but seeing as this astounding show has such a low score here on MAL, I want to clear some things up: While having musical knowledge really gives you an insight on the puns and references, you don't need it in order to enjoy it to its greatest. The jokes are top-quality, the art style is stupendous, and the characters absolutely make this show.

ClassicaLoid is about certain famous composers, such as Beethoven and Mozart, who have been "resurrected" into the modern world. Obviously not ... as reflections of how they looked in the past, but their characters are based off the personality of the composer they are based off.

Without a doubt, this is definitely a very trippy and wacky show, having more jokes than it does a story. The "plot" is really more of background fodder, which explains why these guys are here, but up here 'til episode 11, it hasn't really had much of an effect on the story itself... Kind of. Whatever the case, this is definitely more of an episodic anime over a storyline one, so every episode has its own little mini "story" and without a doubt, you will always be experiencing one or two laughs along the way. Probably more. Most likely more. At the end of the day, the characters are all just so simply lovable and charming, and they definitely make this a show more than watch-worthy.

Don't let the low score steer you away from this astounding show. It's crazy and weird, but in a good way. This show definitely deserves a wider audience.

I'll edit my review once the show finishes airing to give a better review : >

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 the ... same 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.

(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 an ... actual 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 top ... ten, 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.

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.
