If you asked me what the most underappreciated manga out there was, I would probably say Grande Scène. You don't need to enjoy ballet to enjoy Grande Scène, just as you don't need to enjoy fashion to like Runway de Warrate, Karuta to like Chihiyafuru or sports to like sports anime. This is a non-standard battle manga.

The story is about a young girl, Kanade, who becomes enamoured with ballet. We follow her from absolute beginner to... well, let's just say pretty good. The manga's story is, to be honest, fairly standard in its weak-to-strong style, but it's done so well that it doesn't matter. ...

This manga is not groundbreaking. What it is, is fantastic.

Look. I wasn't asking for much. Just a pleasant relaxing watch. You know, a normal trash Isekai that I could secretly enjoy. Hell, I actually really liked the manga. Was it anything special, orignial or insipired? Hell no. But it was fine.

This though... Jesus Christ where do I begin?

The animation is just embaressing. Seriously, I wasn't expecting much but dear lord how souless were the animation staff when they made this. It barely has any movement, the show in general or even the bloody OP.

Then we get to the voice acting which is passable at best and at worst- I'm looking at you princess- ... it is so bad that it pulled me out of the show so hard it was like I got hit by Truck-kun. I mean dear lord that VA in particular was so awful.

The story was fine. I mean yeah I didn't especially like it- the manga was still better- but it was the usual isekai fair. Nothing great but nothing terrible.

Look, anime is meant to be manga that moves but this didn't have any movement and was worse than the manga by a fucking mile. I know this was supposed to be based off of the light novel so maybe that was the problem but seriously, if you think that this is even okay then I beg you to read the manga.

I know that a lot of people only watch anime and don't read manga- seroiusly I am with you. Until recently I was one of you. But when it comes to something like this where the manga could even be described as good whilst the anime is just apalling... do yourselves a favour and read the manga instead. Seriusly, it had better animation that this suppsoed anime.
