Lost Song

Lots of cliches and tropes, the animation is as clunky as the dialogue is stilted. The conversations are unnatural like one person speaks, pause, next person speaks, pause, first person replies, pause. The second half of the series gets very convoluted as they try and do some "clever" twists that the writers clearly saw in some other shows and wanted to mimic but didn't understand what they were copying. It's very pretty to look at and the story is vaguely interesting though massively overdone. There's just nothing too original and worthwhile about this series. That being said, we watched all the episodes in one setting because it was an inoffensive albiet fairly bland show that had some characters we kinda liked but will forget by next week. The writers and directors needed to be more confident of their ideas instead of mimicking things they liked in other shows. At it's core there's a lot of decent ideas and concepts it all just feels very unpolished and buried in cliche mediocrity. It's not horrible it's just not memorable. If they do more id be interested in seeing it because you can tell they tried and wanted to do something really special but this felt like a pilot series rather than its own entity.
