7/10. It was pretty good. Beautiful art/animation, nice music, good voice acting. I remember enjoying it because it had a slight plot with the music competition and wasn't solely focused on romance. The romantic moments were definitely there but not too overdone. I feel like with almost every other reverse harem (except Ouran which is above its genre), it's painfully obvious "this is a harem". Characters usually have very little personality and are mostly just tropes for the viewer to project themselves onto, which makes for a weak story. La Corda D'Oro does better in this regard as characters feel a little more fleshed out, especially Len Tsukimori who is influenced to change his view of music over the course of the story. Kahoko herself is sort of annoying and mopey but not nearly as bad as some other reverse harem heroines. The other male protagonists also have their own backstories and relate to Kahoko in different ways. In short, it's (somewhat) believable why they would fall for her. Overall I felt the cast was pretty solid and the story felt very natural as it progressed. I would recommend it to any shoujo fans out there.
