Introduction
Ever since her father used up the last of the family fortune and skipped town, Kanae Otowa has lived in her family's ancestral mansion, Otowakan. With no way to pay off her father's debts, Otowakan is being foreclosed and Kanae must oust the remaining residents—her friend Sousuke Kagura, and two strange people who claim to be her father's acquaintances, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven. After somehow being resurrected, Mozart and Beethoven have started going by "Motes" and "Beethes" respectively, and begun to indulge in a variety of idiotic, non-musical pursuits.
While stubbornly refusing to leave Otowakan, Beethes unlocks the hidden power of Musik, saving Otowakan from demolition and delaying his eviction. With this discovery, other Musik users are drawn to Otowakan, including Frédéric Chopin, Franz Liszt, and Franz Schubert. However, not all Musik users have innocent desires. Across the city, the enigmatic Johann Sebastian Bach sits atop a tall building, plotting how to use his Musik.

classicaloid is so UNDERRATED. I WILL TELL YOU!
the accuracy of this anime is impeccable and i love it so much. im so happy to see a series depicting these historic musicians as the psychotic bastards they were.
classicaloid is lacking a bit in story but I think it makes up in comedy, BUT I also think you have to be a specific sort of person to enjoy classicaloids humor. I will now go in depth
STORY- 6
The story for this season lacks any meaningful development for a VERY long time. This is because there's no real villainy/obstacle, sure you have the evil mega corp Bach and his underlings but throughout the season he's more neutral than anything. If you asked me I couldn't name a single REAL threatening thing he did the entire time. With the concept this anime has you would think they w…

(This review has been adapted from my blog/reddit thread. Spoilers ahead!)
When I was in high school, prepping for my college-entrance exams, I would sometimes listen to classical music.
I read online somewhere that it could calm one’s nerves and increase thinking capacity. Wanting every edge available to me, I made it a point to play these pieces when the opportunity arose. Mozart’s “Le Nozze di Figaro, K. 492” was usually my go-to choice for its rising-and-falling notes.
I don’t listen to a whole lot of classical music nowadays; metal has instead trounced everything else. But, as ClassicaLoid depicts, metal and many other motifs go together with the classics more so than one may initially believe.
STORY
Kanae is a typical high-school girl who happens to be the caretaker of her famil…

Classicaloids is. A lot to take in. It's not good, BUT it's fun. It's extremely fun, and the colors, sounds, and characters are all enjoyable, even if the story is just off the wall unusual.
Classicaloids is, in short, about the clones? Reborn versions? Of classical composers like Mozart, Chopin, Schubert, ect. Living in the modern era with their creators(?) daughter in a huge mansion. They are all bubbly, fun, colorful, and completely different from one another, finding their happiness in daily life while also occasionally turning into classical music-themed magical girls and boys.
It's not a great anime, it's not even in my top ten, but I enjoyed it so thoroughly that I couldn't bear to give it a score below 7. If you want an anime that's colorful, fun, and musical, i'd highly sugges…

(this is my first review, please don't bully)
well, this sure was a ride,and one that i enjoyed a lot!
Story 8/10:
Kanae is a young girl who just inherited her grandmother's house, but for some reason, Beethoven and Mozart are living there.
no, they aren't the actual Beethoven and Mozart, they are classicaloids, artificial humans created in order to "create the perfect instrument" and have the power of musik, a magical girl-ish power that happens when they have strong feelings.
Yes, this is a mess, but one that i enjoyed a lot! the show follows a mostly episodic format with one and another that creates an actual story, the comedy is splendid but really ridiculous and childish at times, to enjoy this anime you need to be chill and don't take it that seriously
Art 7/10:
Those bright an…

Music is a universal language, but nobody understands Bach.
Story:
Famous composers have come to life (again) to do…something. The plot is very thin with this anime. There is an actual purpose for the creation of the Classicaloids, but it’s irrelevant for most of its run. Only within the last 2 or 3 episodes does something reminiscent of a plot happen, until then we are treated to a lot of episodic nonsense. I found the comedy to be very repetitive, it’s basically one of the Classicaloids acting like a total numbnut, causing a massive chaos or one of them gone missing and the others (for whatever reason) wanting them back. The introductory episodes in the beginning of the series were the best in my eyes, since the characters were still fresh by then and the interactions not stale yet. Whi…

As a classical musician, I was really thrilled with the premise of this anime. I was excited to see what kind of characterization would take place and how each composer's music would be adapted in a modern day context.
With that said, I couldn't finish the first episode the first time around. I wasn't quite ready for the experience ClassicaLoid was trying to give me. We've got a rambunctious house full of maladjusted geniuses. There's a lot of fun, a lot of chaos, and a lot of music. Once you commit to the madness though, you're in for an interesting ride.
The Story - 5; Without any spoilers, I must say that the story is a bit weak and takes a bit to unfold. I'm almost sure that the storyline intentionally takes a backseat to the comedic antics and absurdity that makes the backbone of th…

This anime is made by sunrise the same studio who make gintama and gundam.
This anime is really underrated im watching this thanks to some highlited reviews that give score 9&8.
If u're fan of comedy well u will not be disappointed dont be fooled by music genre or classical music story plot! No its not focused on classical music at all! Idk why this anime get only 6,5.
Firstly the art is amazing 10/10 for some reason I feel nostalgic when see this anime art. the art is like that you see on epic adventure fantasy anime like letter bee,gosick for example but at the same time it have a modern style too like sad anime anohana or ano natsu de matteru. Its like blend of both of it and its like an art for epic anime. But the art style is rarely used these days and you will see the hint of gint…
