Mixed Feelings
I have to confess, the only reason I decided to watch this anime was because of two words: "µ" and "idol", I thought maybe I'd get some Love Live references here. Ha.

Well anyways, Caligula was pretty much one huge mess. The concept shown to us in the sypnosis isn't so bad, and indeed the concept of being stuck in another world and trying to escape from it- isn't so bad.
But as the story went on, it turned out to be a horrible mess.

We barely get to know what really is happening in the series, and as the story progresses we get more twists that made me even more confused.
Just because there are twists and psychological quotes every episode doesn't make it automatically good.

We get all the backstories dumped into us, making us "feel" the characters, but at the very least we had diversity in the characters.

Oh, and then there are the bad guys, the Musicians, who like the imaginary world but they have to kill the ones who want to escape from the current world- just because.

We've gone for 12 episodes without a clear direction, and only once in a while there was a clash between the "good" and "bad" forces, with no meaning behind.

For some reason, whenever µ sang, everybody went wild. Pretty weird concept to make the enemies "awaken"...

The OP/ED were nice.

The artstyle (on purpose?) was made to be grim, Using the colors of gray, brown and black, you can see the whole anime being "lifeless" and... unappealing.

Conclusion: This anime seemed like an advertisment for µ songs. And no, these aren't "µ's" the idol group from Love Live, but this is just "µ", the inferior idol.

5/10 Feel free to skip it.
