Honestly I was disappointed. The premise was intriguing, the art was both pleasant and consistent, and the singing performances were truly dynamic; but the way everything played out storywise just didn't do the voices or the art justice to me. One dimensional characters, frustrating plot holes, breakneck scene pacing-- every week I kept watching just to see if any of these would improve and they just didn't. For these reasons I don't personally see this anime as worth watching.
Some problems I had in detail.
Clearly Hu Li and his entire family were dealing with some very lasting damage from a traumatic event-- and it never goes into as much detail as I would have preferred, which confuses me because this event supposedly shaped his character and career choice enough for his brother to unconditionally resent him, the one person keeping them both off the streets and putting food on the table.
Hu Li's arrangement as a ghost writer/singer. So he has to not only sneak past the backstage security to get to the sound booth every performance, but the rest of the team also gets to be angry with him when he's running behind schedule? Why not just give him a backstage with the rest of the production staff and say he's got some other job related?
These so called "damage fees" the record label demands from Hu Li and the way they just seemed to pull a number out of the air. And then nothing is questioned-- this is so so unrealistic.
The lack of responsibility from SKY even after their identity is revealed. Why didn't Hu Li demand, or hell-- even SKY themselves to step up-- and be able for the mysterious fee quantity fabricated by the record label company after the big Night FOX reveal?
SKY's actual intention for even DOING all this. Still a mystery, for no reason.
I could go on but I'm sure you get the point. I hope this review is helpful to you.
