This ended up being longer than anticipated, so sorry: but without further ado:

So, the art doesn't uphold the manga in the most simple way being; quality. Sure, the anime upholds the actual style, but it fails in the most simple ways, with something like logic or getting a 17 year old teenager's fingers looking like a 8 year old's.

Now, I've read and am caught up with the manga and have to advise that if you want the whole experience of this mixed up musical with a mediocre love triangle: read the manga. If you want to hear their voices and the songs, then prepare for ... that horrible CGI and lacklustre singing.

It was a letdown in someways, the casting wasn't perfect and it didn't have the same effect as the manga did. But it was still somewhat enjoyable. I like hearing and watching adaptations to listen to the different voices and seeing how people interpret the stories... so I'm not going to say it isn't worth watching, because for people who enjoy the 'love triangle' trope and the whole shoujo based around music, then frankly, it's perfect for any shoujo lover.

I'm a big fan of the manga, what can I say that won't berate the anime down to every detail?

Anyway, the characters were fine and are fine still. I must say I loathe Momo as a strong Nino x Yuzu shipper, however they were portrayed as expected and the feelings each character felt were portrayed near to perfectly and the comedy was fine, I'm bias towards Yuzu of course. I must say I expected a VA with a deeper voice to portray Yuzu but... I'm fine with his chibi middleschooler sounding voice. It fits his personality perfectly unfortunately.
The drama was portrayed within the facial expressions and voices and, of course, the idiocy of breaking out into song (every time Nino thinks about Momo) too. Then the pity for Yuzu's painstakingly one sided attraction, this one sided theme appears very frequently I've found and it has gotten rather overplayed. And then the stampede of fangirls...

I may keep listing negative titbits but I thought it was alright seeing as it's only a seasonal anime, I'm guessing, but it followed the basic plot and succeeded in making people interested in reading on.
-The characters were portrayed fine and everything was just, fine.

It is, overall, a fine anime. Not great, fantastic, or really amazing; just fine. It's like a non-canon lacking movie of a long and popular anime like Conan or I daresay, Naruto, that had barely any thought or work into it- just a way to earn money I'd say.

So, I'd recommend for anyone who enjoys shoujo. A love triangle, frustration, shoddy singing yet pretty good songs, and overall a plot based solely around music. Well, and love I suppose but we aren't getting very far.
