Story:
Mashiroiro Symphony is about a boy named Uryuu, Shingo who is, as many characters throughout the anime refer to him as, a "nice guy". When a decision is made to merge his school, Kagamidai private, with an all girls private school, Yuihime, Uryuu's life drastically changes. It is here where he meets our colorful female protagonists, and his harem slowly begins to form. I won't go into further detail for fear of spoiling anything, but I would like to point one thing out: The synopsis above makes this anime seem much more perverted than it actually is. Although it does have it's moments, Mashiroiro Symphony is generally a very clean anime.
Art:
Personally, I love the bright and colorful visuals used in these types of animes. Every main character stands out from the others and the environment around them. At some points it even feels like they may pop out of the screen at any moment. Although some of the environments could be described as dull, the majority of this anime is presented in a colorful, and lively fashion.
Sound:
The opening and ending themes were both well done, and very fitting. The background music that played during the anime was also chosen quite well. It gave me the feeling that someone actually put some thought into what music they should have included in this anime.
Character:
All of the characters in this anime have their own personality and way they go about doing things. Each character adds something to the anime as a whole, and it wouldn't be the same if even one of them wasn't in it. Your not going to like every character (as is usually the case in the harem genre) but the ones you do like, you will most likely become attached to. This brings me to an interesting point. I actually could not decide which girl I liked best. I have watched plenty of anime before, and the majority of them were harems, but I never encountered a problem like this before. I was actually glad for once that the protagonist got to choose a girl, since I couldn't. It was truly a moment to be remembered.
Enjoyment:
This anime may not rank #1 on my list, but it had its moments. It was comedic at some points, dramatic and others, but mostly it was just entertaining to watch.
Overall:
Mashiroiro Symphony isn't the best anime ever created, but is a good one to watch when your not sure what to watch next, and I definitely recommend it to all lovers of the harem genre.
