What is going on with the characters? Why is Mozart pink and Beethoven looking like a crazy person?

Music and time travel? This looks pretty good! Oh wait…. I am seeing that this has mecha elements too? Maybe this isn’t my thing after all.

The trailer is super confusing. Ugh what am I even looking at? It looks good but the art makes me feel very confused…

Oh wait no, they also do something with mecha!? I am down for this! It’s like Rah-Xephon or Eureka Seven now!

Synopsis

Kanae and Sousuke live in a suburban city which is being revitalised by music. One day, Beethoven and Mozart appear before their eyes!

These two sketchy characters, who call themselves 'ClassicaLoids', play music - or 'Musik', as they call it - which has a strange power... With stars falling from the sky and giant robots appearing out of nowhere, every day is chaotic!

More ClassicaLoids such as Bach, Chopin, and Schubert begin appearing one after the other. But what is the huge hidden secret behind their power? Are the ClassicaLoids friends or foes to humanity, or maybe something completely different?

This Musik comedy has battles, music, slapstick, heartwarming stories, and maybe even some hints of love...?

Three Episode Impression

With a name like Classicaloid, what can you even assume the anime is about? Well, if you only watch the first few episodes, you won’t be able to tell right away. However, now that we are in the second cours of the season, we are getting a better idea of what Classicaloid is all about. Using the same elements as magical girl anime, Classicaloid uses the power of music in a rather grand way, although what use it has is really beyond us. The use of music as a magical power is similar to Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch and Full Moon wo Sagashite, although Classicaloid takes on a more comedic nature. The animation style is very western looking, which is no surprise since the characters are western in nature. The music is classical, which is yet again, not surprising. The cast of characters are rather odd and goofy. The anime definitely does not take on a serious note at all making Classicaloid a rather casual watch if it sounds like it may strike your fancy.

Characters & Voice Actors List

Beethoven

Voice Actor: Tomokazu Sugita


Beethoven is eccentric and arrogant, but a musical genius. He is also stubborn and questions everything. Hidden behind his strong front is a naive side that holds his pure intentions.

Mozart

Voice Actor: Yuki Kaji


Mozart is also a musical genius, but is free-spirited and childish. He is innocent, and lacks common sense in a way that he doesn’t realize what is happening around him.

Sousuke Kagura

Voice Actor: Nobunaga Shimazaki


Raised in a musical environment, Sousuke seems like an ordinary high school freshman. Even though he aspires to become a famous musician, he doesn’t like to practice, so he cannot go beyond the mediocre level. He easily gets swayed with flattery but leans on the others.

Kanae Otowa

Voice Actor: Mikako Komatsu


Kanae is high school freshman and a landlord of an apartment complex she inherited from her grandmother. While she was raised as a proper lady in a good family, her family became poor and she had to work hard since then. She has a strong and serious mindset and wants to accept the Classicaloids among the other people.

Chopin

Voice Actor: Kousuke Toriumi


An extremely sensitive and negative person. He’s introverted and scared of strangers, so he’s always alone and surfing the internet in secret. He relies on Liszt a lot and often goes with her when he goes outside.

Liszt

Voice Actor: Mamiko Noto


A philanthropist who thinks love is everything. In his original time, Liszt was a man but for some reason is now enjoying being a woman. She calls Kanae ‘kitten’ and dotes on her, and is the only one who actually pays rent.

Schubert

Voice Actor: Tomoaki Maeno


Adores Beethoven as an upperclassman. Beethoven is his life! He’s always earnest, but can be too serious and inflexible, so he comes off as a bit weird. It seems that he hates Mozart for some reason.
