Glad they didn't get Akira Ishida for the voice of P3 MC 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲. He might waste his stupendously great talent there and I swear the Persona fandom would riot.

Not watching this cheap melodrama anyway and I will not comprehend its existence. (since I read the manga where the MC does 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚 out of the ordinary and the sad backstories had less impact but rather they are just plot devices)

Besides, there is only a month left until April 2 for my (3)𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲-𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 from watching seasonal anime and possibly for the rest of almost everything related to anime.

At first, I was excited....hey, the same orchestra as Sound Euphonium.

Then I realised its by the same team that brought us Hoshi no Samidare, low budget, powerpoint slide sh!tshow. So I'm not expecting KyoAni type animation, some snippets in the preview look decent, but likely wont see much of that, maybe just the finale. The rest are going to be stills. But we see this already in alot of music anime. The budget cant carry the performance animation all the way. Only in Sanzigen (Bang Dream, D4DJ) and to a lesser extent, Sunrise (Love Live) where you see animated musical performances in every episode.

Synopsis also reads like some high school lame plot repeated many times before....it sounds familiar, the overcoming some trauma trope.

I'll give it a watch, but you usually need a cheerful genki carefree, no trauma/baggage type main character to carry music animes. You need feel good vibes for music animes. Otherwise medium to longer term, when you think about it, it usually not give you good feelings.

Not the same team as Hoshi no Samidare at all. The studios were NAZ/Jumondo.
Also, not the same director, scriptwriter, animators, etc. 
Nothing is similar to Hoshi no Samidare besides Nippon Animation credited for helping the dumpster fire of a production a little bit.
