i think the anime is just mediocre, all the characters are less than memorable, can't even remember their name.

i think the plot of forming a boys choir is not a bad idea, just that the execution is terrible. and what's with the last episode's ending? what does it mean? is the conductor staying to continue teaching them or he is going to go back to his original conductor position, i totally don't get it.

i kept on watching instead of dropping the anime as i was hoping there will be some sort of climax in the development however there was none. i would say not to ... waste your time on this anime as the time can be used to watch other anime out there.

i had high hopes for this anime after i came across it as one of the anime gonna be release for this last quarter of the year. went to google down, listen to all their songs on their youtube channels etc. however the anime did not live up to my expectations, i feel that the adaption seems to focus more on the characters' personal lives, their tribulation blah blah blah instead of their music and the competition.

additionally, the anime felt really choppy that i couldn't link them up. for example in episode 3, right at the beginning it was announced that the second round stage ... battle is between "the cat's whiskers" and "akanyatsura", then after the opening theme song, "the cat's whiskers" members was grumbling about losing this second stage battle to "akanyatsura". i was like "what? what? what? when did their battle happened?" i was totally lost as to what's going on, i'm not sure is it because you have to watch it with some of their other things or something that shows their competition but either way it just didn't connect well.

then the last episode felt very rush as well, is "buraikan-yasha" really dead? i mean "shura" just appeared out of nowhere and pummel the crazy guy and then tried to save the teams on stage. and then "cozmez-nayuta" appeared out of nowhere too even though there was a glimpse in one of the episode that he is indeed alive.

i think the idea to adapt into an anime was good but the execution just had too much issues.

i watched the anime many years ago, decided to read the manga now as i was bored and curious to know if there are a lot of changes made in the anime as compared to the original storyline.

i think the manga started out okay, however towards the last few volumes of the series, the storyline was getting more and more ridiculous. i was losing interest already but wanted to complete the series so i forced myself to finish it.

i think the author just went a little too crazy with the storyline development in the last few volumes that it kinda missed the mark for ... me.

i had high hopes for this anime as it's art related and i like artsy-fartsy stuff, however to say i am disappointed is an understatement.

first of all, i felt that the characters' drama overshadowed the main plot of perception art. i mean the non-stop drama of all the characters was annoying as shit, like why?? really, why??

secondly, the main plot is art, specially "perception art" but i still don't really get the whole concept of it as there wasn't much explanation about it. additionally, there isn't much scene of the characters doing the actual art because of all the nonsensical drama. i mean the execution ... felt rather confusing as well, for example, the characters are looking at a piece of framed artwork, and then suddenly there animated stuffs floating around with music accompanying all the floating or flying stuffs. the first time it was shown, i thought i was watching a children's sing-a-long video. felt it was kind of lame to be honest.

there should have been more in depth explanation of the whole "perception art" idea so that viewers can understand it on a deeper level, instead of just seeing the characters put on the eye equipment and then start waving their hands around like they are crazy but have no idea what the hell are they doing.

in end, the anime just felt very shallow with no idea what's the whole anime about.

hmm… i wouldn’t say the movie is bad, it just went in a different direction than i expected i guess. i was expecting the movie to be focus on the team participating in the nationals competition since it's all they talked about in the tv series. so when the competition begin right from the start, i started to think something else might happen if not there is too much time left in the movie, lol.

the movie as a whole felt very emotional i feel, because of the third years graduating and the coach leaving the team, keep making me teared up. wished it was a ... more joyful execution to happily end the whole series.

lastly, i think the ending performance where both schools performed together is a nice addition however the music for their performance felt weird to be honest. in some way, it just felt like the wrong music was being chosen to match their performance, think there should be better options out there. therefore, all in all, the movie just felt pretty average to me.

hmm… i like the concept of competitive ballroom dancing as i have not watch any anime that uses this as a theme. however the execution is very poorly done, because even though "dance" being the main plot of the anime, i don’t feel that there was enough "dance" shown.

instead of the characters' dance routine or their full performance, we keep getting flashes of the audience's expressions or their commentary about who is good yada yada which honestly, viewers don't really give a shit about. i mean what's the point of filming audiences' in awed expressions when we viewers don't even know what are they in ... awed about because we are just shown snippets of the characters dance or their poses, like exactly how "good" are they we don't know.

for example, sengoku is said to be one of the best dancers in the competitive dance world, but do we mange to see his whole performance at the competition he entered? NO!!!

hyodo-hanaoka being one of the main characters and really good at dancing, their dance wasn't shown enough either. their only dance that was shown "a wee bit more" was the one that hyodo fainted at the end due to his knee injury and that's about it.

lastly, the anime is about ballroom dancing which generally comprises of both "standard" and "latin", but most of the dance is very focus on "standard". "latin" was just briefly touched on by sengoku-hongo and hyodo-hanaoka pair in their competition.

a little sad with the execution on an overall level, would have given a higher rating if we are shown more dance routine.

i feel that the concept about cheerleading is great, however the execution is subpar. like the whole anime should be about cheerleading however the characters' melodrama seems to take over the cheerleading part. like the characters' relationship between each other, their own background stories yada yada, i think these could all be omitted and focus more on their main topic.

i mean they entered the cheerleading competition but the performance of other schools are practically not shown, if they are shown, you just see them posing, never the full routine of their performance. even the main characters' school performance in the last episode wasn't all shown ... out. additionally, they still add-on the flashback of what happen previously, like come on, who cares??? viewers just want to watch their whole performance which they have spent so much time practicing. i mean they keep on practicing in every episode but the performance are just cut all over the place. all the other competitor schools seems to appear for show only, in the end, it's like the main characters' school participating in the competition only.

i hate to give a 4* rating for this as i liked the series right from the start. however, this finale movie feels like a great let-down after waiting for so long for it. the whole execution just feels wrong, it is way too choppy as it keeps jumping between different scenes, and it was really hard to connect them.

firstly, the multiple flashbacks felt really redundant.
secondly, the scene where it played a song with a replay from the previous movie, but the dialogue was on and silent, on and silent, i was like "huh????".
thirdly, there were a lot of "silent" scenes which ... didn't give the movie additional points at all.
fourthly, it was the competition scenes... i'm completely lost at what competition are they competing in to be honest, because it wasn't explained properly and i can't remember what was said in the last movie. it's like a sudden jump from prelims to finals, and i was like "????" yet again.
lastly, the characters especially Albert and Kinjou feels kind of lackluster. i thought that since they specially added these two into the story, there would be development with them but in the end, they are pretty much like sidekicks which i feel that with or without them wouldn't make or break the story either way.

overall, i have to say i am utterly disappointed with this finale as it didn't provide a very good ending to close off the entire series.

i think the anime is pretty interesting. however, i did not give it a much higher rating because the series felt way too short. like there should have been more development to the story instead of just ending it kind of abruptly.

for example, we didn't get to see falma's brother appearing in the series, just his photo and him being mentioned a couple of times. or the guild might come up with something new to do crush falma's pharmacy since that old man wasn't very happy that falma's pharmacy is taking away their business, i mean he just sent some carriage and bang into ... falma's pharmacy, and that's it? like meh~~~

overall, i think its worth watching but if it had been stretch out into a longer series with more stories and development, it would have been a better anime to watch.

i don’t think this anime is terrible in general, as oppose to a genius that performs perfectly from the start, main character Aoi starting to get better along each episode is pretty good as well since you can watch how his character and skills develop.

what i really have a problem with is Aoi's voice (i hate to be rude to the voice actor so i gotta say "i'm sorry" here), but his voice is really f*cking annoying. i actually wanted to stop watching after the first few episodes because i can't stand his voice, but it feels like an anime that is kind of worth ... watching so i force myself to finish it. he seems be shouting at the top of his voice constantly but the thing is, his voice is wayyyyyy too sharp plus high-pitch, in my heart i was telling him to ""shut the f*ck up"" non-stop to be honest.

i really wonder why his character is being assigned such a voice, because all the other characters sounds okay but his voice is just.......
