My pure disdain for this show drove me to make my first review and I need to get this off my chest. Speaking as a musician this is simply not a music show. I can agree that they rarely make some niche references, but the actual application of anything vaguely musical is surface level at best. There is nothing that makes me as a musician think "they actually thought about this - I'm impressed". Every time music comes up, I feel like it's been shoehorned in in a way that anyone who actually understands and has dealt with music in their lives would know is ... just bullshit. It's plainly obvious when you scan the rest of the reviews, and everyone who says "I know nothing about music" gives this a 9/10, yet anyone who cares enough about music gives it a 5/10 or lower.

My point is this; It's pretty, and it's got action. If that's all you need to enjoy it, then good for you. Unfortunately, the misuse of music here just puts me off. As long as you're OK with music being a word that means "sounds that makes people feel the good good inside" then give it a shot I guess.

If you are still not convinced that this show doesn't take music seriously, consider watching a show that actually tackles music in a real and respectful manner, like Hibike! Euphonium, and compare this with that. You'll see that the only thing driving this show's score up is gacha buyer's remorse and explosions.

Apart from the visuals, the rest of the show falls flat.

tl;dr - If you're a musician this isn't worth your time.
