Getamtkunstwerk: A word created by Richard Wagner which means in German "total work of art"

I can think of no better word to describe this series. Being a massive classical music fan, i knew i had hit the jackpot when i heard about this show and i was not let down. The story is funny and heartwalming, Noda is a truely hilarious character that i loved from the start and it was great to see Chiaki try and come to turns with this whirlwind that came into his life.

The musical performances are mind-blowing and the range of music featured is as excellent as you would expect from a show about classical music. Also the animation is simply gorgeous, especially in it's use of vibrant colours on occasion which make for some truely beautiful moments.

Highly recommended to anyone who loves music, anime or just plain old fashioned romantic comedy.
