The colours are bright and bold, with nothing that looks 'washed out', especially in relation to the backgrounds and settings. Although the anime is fairly easy to get into, there is an overall lack of depth to the plot which is an effect of the format, especially as the characters suffer greatly from it. The series would have been better served by showing some actual progression rather than taking what is effectively a haphazard approach to the plot. It may also be the case that the term Dantist is an oblique reference to Dante and his Divine Comedy, although that is supposition on my part (for now).Īs interesting as the concept is, the story suffers from it's episodic nature. Unlike most other series Polyphonica makes a definite connection between music and 'magic' (although here it is limited to summoning spirits), which is interesting in itself as historically, and in folktales, music and magic in the real world are linked in many ways. While music in Polyphonica is not restricted in any way, the Dantists are the only ones with the ability to use 'Commandia' - a summoning song or piece of music.

The series actually has a rather refreshing take on music, and relates it to the summoning and command of spiritual creatures whose power is relative to the number of wings they have. The story is set in a fantasy world, on the continent of Polyphonica, and follows the lives of the Dantists who work at the Tsuge Divine Music Player Office, in particular, the Dantist Phoron and his contracted spirit Corticarte Apa Lagranges (Corti). then there has also been another anime adaptation (Crimson S), which was released earlier this year.

The series is based on the highly successfuly visual novel created by Ocelot in 2006, which spawned several light novel adaptations, a manga version in March 2007, and finally an anime in April 2007. Happiness! is one such show, as is Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica. Every so often though, an anime basen on music will appear that deviates from what we've pretty much come to accept as the norm. The most well known would be Macross (any of them), Nodame Cantabile and La Corda Doro, and those anime that do rely on music are often reasonably straightforward affairs. There aren't many anime that heavily feature music.
