About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a music-driven anime with bold visuals and lots of jazz performance energy, similar to Inu-Oh or Belle; Not for you if you need deep character drama or dislike jazz-heavy stories.
Pros: vibrant visuals; immersive jazz performances; strong sense of drive | Cons: uneven CGI moments; thin character depth; story feels predictable
