Oh dear Lord,why have you forsaken me you sick @%$^$%^*%*@$$!#........Welcome everyone to what is another drunk review,brought to you by Jack Daniels and Sons with a twist of Cola.Oh if you're not old enough to drink you probably shouldn't be here cause the internet,the admins of MAL and indeed the whole world has gone soft in the head and cannot handle honest,brutal,punch to the stomach opinions cause someone might be offended..Well that's your fault for being fruitcakes so bugger off.

And where do i start with this anime?Story?Yeah i can do that.So it's a touching story of a young lad who is a pianist.And a genius one at that.He is like a Jimmy Hendrix only he isn't black and didn't die in a pool of his own vomit after taking a ton of drugs.Anyway,he strollls through a park,remembering his dead mother who abused him relentlesly.Then a miracle happens.He meets a young prison....Oh fuck...Sorry a girl,i meant a girl.But in my defense she must have done some time,probably for beating someone to death...Gone off topic there a bit.Back to the anime,she plays a harmonica with 2 kids in the park..And all of the sudden some pigeons arrive at the scene and they all jump up and down and sing the song of.....What the fucking hell is this?A 60's movie?Even in 60's movies this wasn't acceptable and it is in a 2014 anime?What's next?A weirdo with an umbrella singing and flying and shit?

You can already see where this is going,right?No?Well let's dig deeper then!From then on we have the all time classic threesomes,foursomes and whatnot between the characters,you know the sort:boy loves girl A,girl A loves boy B,boy B is intrested in guys so he loves boy C and it goes on and on and....Zzzzzzz..It's mostly a music anime.Or is it?You see the writers and the studio tell us that this is solely a music anime,but after watching the whole damn thing all i got was:"Oh my giddy aunt,another Kanon has found its way into my little world of screams and violence and Behemoth".And i wasn't far off the mark.This is very much like the Unholy Cancerous Trinity(UCT from now on),Kanon,Air,Clannad,only it has some music in it.

I should say that i don't like classic music.I always thought it was a means for mass murderers to cover the screams of their victims in the basement.But this time,for some reason it captivated me.Even if for a little while,the moments where the characters perform is nothing sort of magical.It's a modernisation of the classical music scene.And here's the clever bit.The animation helps intensify the experience.The movements are lifelike,it's like nothing i've ever seen.And the characters when they're not consumed in pointless threeways are very good.There's chemistry and it shows.

But here's where the fun stops and we start going into the pits of hell,where a ring was forged.One ring to rule them all,one ring to find them and into eternal melodrama bind them.Oh yes THE FEELS MAN THE FEELS..The drama burger is back leaving extra vomit in its' wake.And i'm not fucking with you.22 eps of untold misery,22 eps of needless melodrama just to keep the economy running along with your noses..Tissue industry has to make do somehow.THANK YOU THE FEELS THANK YOU.From episode one up to the last moment this manages to make the UCT seem like a baby shower.I kid you not,in every episode you have the same scenes over and over,the same dialogues,just to give you a fake feel of drama.Cause that's what sells these days.And we have UCT to thank for that.It set the trend for other cancerous animes to appear.And it wouldn't rank as cancerous if one or every character dies of some illness of course,of course.

But what this anime does that most don't is connecting you to the characters.I'll give them that.Even though the characters are hateful they manage to be likeable at the same time.That was my impression at least.Maybe i'm wrong,maybe i've gone mad but at least compared to UCT the characters aren't worthless pieces of shit,making sounds,giggling throughout the entire series.

Then another bit that had me confused.The animation.Like i said above in the performance parts the animation was absolutely stunning.Nothing comes close to that.But then they let the whole thing down by making the characters mouths like i took a combat knife and made them look like Joker.It looked creepy and idiotic and i didn't like it one bit.In fact it came close to ruining the whole experience for me.Who thought that that was a good idea?Honestly i wanna find them and beg them,why on earth did they make them look like Venom for Spiderman?

I can keep going on and on until i take up all the space in the internet.But the thing is that despite all i've said you should watch it.If for nothing else watch it for the glorious bits of animation and the music.AND FUCK THEM FEELS YOU CHEAP BASTARDS.Thank you and fuck off and good night.I love you all.
