Here's my first anime review ever! Hope you like it 
[/align]
[align=justify]I just finished this series that is exclusive to Netflix, and as the time of this review it has two seasons, or more precisely, one season divided in two parts, in Japan is completed, in the rest of the world, we have only the first 12 episodes. So this review is only for this first part.[/align]
[align=justify]This is the latest series of Shinichiro Watanabe (director of series as Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Space Dandy and many other works) as a Director, so we can expect this to be quite interesting right from the start.[/align]
[align=justify]The story is about two girls that create music and try to be profesional musicians with only a piano and a guitar in a world dominated by music created by AI (Artificial Intelligence), from been know by no one, to reach thousands and thousands of people, this futuristic yet very down to earth, or should I say mars, because there's where this story takes place.[/align]
[align=justify]Without giving too much of the story, I just want to say, if you enjoy any of this things, you HAVE to watch this series: Music, Slice of life, Music, good stories, Music, well written characters and Music.[/align]
[align=justify]The voice acting in this series is tremendously good, with a mix of new blood and veterans, the seiyuus do an amazing work. But there is a problem in this instance, due to the change of voices for the musical parts, for all the characters, when the it starts to sing, there's a change of voice, replacing the seiyuu there's an professional singer, but in the majority of the characters the voice is so distant from one another that it's very noticeable, in other cases is very subtle, but you can still hear the difference even if you think you have a "bad hearing for music".[/align]
[align=justify]But let's be honest, if it's anime, the most important thing is, how well does it looks? is it well animated? does it have that awful 3D that the musical anime use nowadays? Well, to answer all of those questions: Yes.[/align]
[align=justify]It's a gorgeous master piece of an animation, sure, it does have those small frames of not too many details in faces, but remember, this is a series, not a movie, so the budget and time does give room for that kind of things. But you will see some of the most beautiful scenes made in an anime for this entire year, yeah, it's that good. Now for the tricky part, is it really 3D? Well yes, but it's done in the most perfect way it could be, there are so many scenes made with the rotoscope technique that it really blurs the line for when the 3D and the hand drawn animation starts.[/align]
[align=justify][size=medium]Final Toughs:[/size][/align]
[align=justify]In general, this is an amazing series, full of intense emotional moments, great character develop and a very well done animation, sure it has some things that a lot of people can't pass, but it's understandable in the creative process context.[/align]
[align=justify][size=medium]SCORE: 9/10[/size][/align]
