What a unique and uplifting show. The production quality of the music was unlike anything I've seen in any anime. The story was great, and it made me very happy to watch this. We follow two girls who decide to make music together after a chance meeting on a bridge and their rise to unite all of mankind.
We absolutely loved this show.
I give this show one thing, it's ambitious in it's production but content wise it's terribly lackluster. Feels like Watanabe is on it's way to joining the ranks of eccentric elderly Japanese directors :rolling_eyes:...
Set in the future one of it's early themes is the idea of AI song production VS that of humans but really it doesn't do much besides raising that question. Even more so the duo of "Carole & Tuesday" felt inhuman as even towards the end they felt like blank slates which magically create new songs over night... I mean it's not like they already overproduce popular music without AI and here they champion a duo which exist as singer/songwriter in the thousands today...
After you get through what is basically the anime equivalent of a real world talent show it branches out to immigration topics (people of Mars vs. Earth) but everything t here feels forced and superficial (even stupid at times).
And really that superficiality can be found everywhere, be it an unrequited love interest (which has 0 impact on the character) or a guy basically saying he is doing his last performance for them and that they carry his hopes only to not ever come up again (???) (heck - we have TWO stalkers)...
Recommended if you like talent shows I guess..?
I loved this anime! I love the music, it was so good I don't even know how to describe my feelings watching that show. Easy 10/10
This show started really strong, then became a bit more generic with the singing contest stuff, then really dragged before picking up for a strong albeit bit cheesy final stretch. The music & character designs rules so I'm rounding my score up to an 8

This was one heck of a show. Story was beautiful. Animation was unique, resembling western comics.
The story did have some loopholes but they are totally covered by the good parts.
Main attraction were the songs. The ending was perfect and definitely make you want to watch more.
Although it's over now, but I'll definitely be hyped if they announce another season or OVA.
