July sure is starting off with original anime for the upcoming months/year. The premise sounds interesting and I'm curious to see a PV in the future.

My first thought was vocaloids playing classical music.

The synopsis sounds so crazy,over the top and interesting,if the execution is good aswell then this could become a really nice series.

What makes you say that?

Not sure about the synopsis, but it does sound interesting and kind of out there. It's a 2016 anime so I'll probably forget about this until there are more news about it. NHK sounds pretty promising, I think...

Umm. I'm all for creativity. But classical musicians and giant robots are two elements that never need to be combined. Pass.

Insta PTW'd for Classical music alone. Synopsis sounds wacky as hell though. Since Gintama''s director is on charge, it might actually be an amusing show.

how much NHK anime is liked on this site?

If its the same director as Gintama and its tagged as comedy this pretty much confirms its going to be a parody

I'm a sucker for anime with classical music, meaning if this one messes with said music, it shall burn.

But messing around aside, it looks more like it will be genuinely bad as the concept is so out of left field, trying to be hip and whatnot, that it's practically doomed from the get go.
