This is one of the most baffling anime experiences I've ever had. Here is an anime almost nobody knew about, both in Japan and over in America, and this project appears to be this studio's very first anime.
Well they are definitely learning how to make anime in the School of HARD KNOCKS
It's supposed to be a Boy's Choir, though in the very first episode they show dancing, and a routine that more resembles idol performance. There are some bits and pieces that hint at someone in this studio knowing about singing... but it's not much, and the show has a distinct feeling that it

The Brown Note.
I will admit this one is personal. I’ve mentioned before that I work in classical music specifically as a singer so I was optimistic about an anime about a boys choir. However, when the anime opens with a guy singing an “Engrish” verse of Sing Low Sweet Chariot I knew I wasn’t going to get along with Kawagoe Boys Sing. After being kicked out of his professional orchestra for being an asshole, disgraced orchestral conductor Haruo is forced by the head of Kawagoe Academy to start up a boy’s choir and win a boy’s choir competition so he can get his job back.

Kawagoe Boys Sing — the anime version of the choir done to disservice, nuff said.
Original shows are pretty much a big risk when it comes to anime, simply because they lean on all of the aspects that make anime so great: story, characters, animation, and music.
