Well considering the high drop rate & considerably low rating, I guess I should tackle those issues first. Frankly its a shame that people drop an anime just after watching one or two episodes. Well this anime is worth watching. This anime is not at all boring provided you are willing to leave your affection of classic school or music themes stories.
There is much more to the anime than most summaries or genre listing denote. I would love to talk about the same but don't want to spoil your fun. Most people watched the first few episodes and find it a bit wierd & cliche at the same time. They didn't wait for the story to unwrap. I am a big fan of music themed animes due to their cheerful environment & music. Definitely I was expecting to see the same storyline as most school club animes but that didn't stop me from opening my heart for the story to flow within me. Frankly, I find this anime to have a quite refreshing touch.
The art work was good too (though not as great as other animes released this year still no complaints from my side). As for sound effects (incl. voice overs), I find quite a few instances where I was somewhat disappointed. Dialogues of one particular character were missing even though one can see his lips syncing in first 2-3 episodes. This issue was noticed in dubbed version. I don't know how was the subbed one. I read some review here, where user complained about lack of expressions in voice overs but I didn't find that issue in dubbed version.
Character development was good too, not great but still manageable. I personally find it wierd, that the director opted showing a certain club so many times during the series (even in Opening Animation) that had a miniscule role in last episode. Direction in first 2-3 episodes could have been better and the mini-recap of previous episodes should have been avoided.
Well at last, I will again say this. I like this anime recommend others to give it a chance. I personally have seen quite a few bad animes thay deserve a high drop & hold rate, but this anime is definitely not the one.
