| As UniteUp! Uni:Birth just came to an end, it's time for Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, and Liszt to take the stage. However, these boys are far from your ordinary idols. Beethoven has a good voice btw. Yep, a decent start with a pretty interesting mix of music, art, and sports. |

| King Records, Unison and Broccoli's mized-media project featuring classic musicians of historical descent made Ikemen, this is very bit of an idol-esque show as possible, while not being one at the same time. Yuuma Uchida's OP is rather decent. The group's ED is more of the same. The red-headed boxer of Beethoven watching a classic song's performance made hard, dark rock, and trying to get around with the setting of his new school at Gloria Private Academy, finding the sports department as a new transfer, one that just got a full recovery from him almost losing his eyesight. The representative teacher of Ao Miharagi introducing him to the student council, which is made of of two of the same people he met: Liszt and Chopin. The Student Council also serving as the Music Department, and Beethoven being roped into the fanfare being a chance to get back to the fighting ring, it's obviously bait, but of course, how would they expect him to just be part of the group within a short moment's notice? And Liszt finding Beethoven's words insulting, challenges the latter into their Emosion System for a song battle, though Beethoven makes his intentions much clear that he's part of the boxing ring, not a musical stage. Need to see more for convincing...though this reminds me much of Fall 2021's Visual Prison, but worse. |

| After getting hurt in the boxing ring, Beethoven was invited to join Gloria Private Academy. For the most part, the show looks interesting, and all the main characters have their own distinct personalities—which is definitely a good thing. Also, Beethoven has a surprisingly good voice for a boxer! |

| I was pleasantly surprised. The idea of students inheriting the "gifts" of classical composers sounded kind of far-fetched on paper, but it actually works really well! The animation is smooth, the visuals are stylish without losing that classical vibe, and the soundtrack is a standout (the blend of classical and modern music is really well done 👏). I just hope the anime dives deeper into the characters and doesn’t fall into the typical “talent school with generic rivals” trope. If it keeps balancing style and substance like this, it might end up being one of the hidden gems of the season. |
| Damnit! I'm a sucker for Classical mixed with modern music when it's done well and they did it well. I have a feeling this will be a guilty pleasure. |
| Just how big is this ridiculous academy? Pass. |
| This is completely different from what I thought it would be! I thought there would be classic music in this anime, but they only use it as soundtrack, for some reason. The music sequences are great, it's my favourite part of this show! It's 3D, which I know many people dislike, but I see why they use it here. The characters seem interesting, but I will probably like then after spending some more time with them. Overall, it's a mixed bag. I need more time to understand what this story is about and whether I want to continue watching it. |
| “Chopin” is already annoying me lmao. Doesn't quite convince me yet, let's see. I think there are other music anime this season that will be better. |
| Okay Unite Up done. So I'm replacing this for that now. Question is can it deliver the expectations from me? Well we will see about it. |
| I need somebody who can love me at my worst No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth 'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst If you stay forever, let me hold your hand I can fill those places in your heart no else can Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim |
| I came expecting actual Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt & Mozart & k-drama tier piano battles but this may be a bit better. Reminded me of Bakumatsu Rock except they don't go shirtless. It seems this academy exclusively covers classical music, with the top doppelgangers gaining the title of one of the composers. Starting the episode with (soon to be) "Beethoven" watching a performance based off of Beethoven was a bit suspicious. I wonder if we'll find out their real names. |
all boys showdown... count me out |
