On her way to her first day of high school, Eri Kumagai is captivated by a girl's singing. Her song is beautiful but ends abruptly when the girl steps on a cat's tail and disrupts the moment. Eri pushes this out of her mind until that same girl rushes into her class late, cat in hand, and claims that the name on the attendance list—Chiharu Yuzuka—is her "false name" and she is actually called Haru Chitose.
Much to Eri's distaste, she cannot escape the eccentric Haru, as the two happen to share the same dormitory room. Haru causes one headache after another, but when she snoops around in Eri's laptop and discovers that she is an online composer, Eri is furious. Haru, enamored by Eri's music, desperately wants to sing with Eri, but Eri is dead set against it. Will the two be able to find common ground?

well this movie is listed as slice of life, but comedy suits it better. The story is simply yet interesting, the art is beautiful. There isnt much time wasted on fan service, a plus from me. The characters are interesting....the teacher Sakata sure is funny. Even though the title of the movie is "Music" girls, I didnt find the voice or music particularly special. My overall rating for Ongaku Shoujo is 7/10. Is it good as a slice of life movie? Im not sure but its definitely a nice comedy.

For starters this 1 episode is part of the Moe/Music genre. Theres not much to talk about since its only 25 minutes but ill make a fast review. My reviews are normally low in score but as a 20 minute movie it couldn't get a really high score either way. The art is absolutely gorgeous, it reminded me of Sakura Trick by the same studio. Animation is pretty good except in one scene where the character movements dont feel right. Background art was absolutely fantastic. And girls where also super cute. animation/art - 8 for a music genre anime i actually despised the songs they where playing but i believeit to be more out of personal taste than anything
sound - 4
Can't expect much for story, its a girl meets other girl and they try to (spoiler) sing at a concert. I guess it was average, at least it didnt feel clutered.
story - 6
The characters where ok, they can be defined in archtypes but for a 20 minute show its hard to come up with an original character. They where fun to watch tho
Characters - 6
Its fun to watch, not anything ground breaking but if you are a fun of moe/yuri you might love this
Enjoyement - 7
Is it worth the 20 minutes of your life? In my opinion: yes, absolutely even if only for the colors and the liveliness of the art.

To be honest, I probably got my hopes up too high when I heard Taishi's Ongaku Shoujo project was being adapted by Studio DEEN into an OVA for Anime Mirai 2015. I've been a huge fan of his music for several years now, and was excited to see it finally come to life. Unfortunately, as most small project adaptations go, it was the typical "cool to see but not very good". Story - Fated meetings with transfer students, moving into a shared room, discovering a roommate's secret talent, working hard together only to find that one of them is moving to another country and didn't tellthem, pulling through anyway... all rather cliche tropes. They don't even count as spoilers at this point, that's how cliche they are.
Art - Nice backgrounds and visual style, though I found it strange that they made the characters' skin literally glow. The animation at some points was choppy, and, in true DEEN style, had little connection with reality. Also, wet clothes apparently aren't a thing until it's time for them to come off...
Sound - As I mentioned before, Taishi is one of my favourite artists, so I'm probably a bit biased here, but I'll try. General soundtrack was not particularly spectacular. The songs were okay, definitely not his best works. The finale song however was somewhat disappointing compared with the teaser sample he released on niconico earlier, probably because of the nature of the scene itself. That being said I wouldn't hesitate to acquire and listen to the full version (not edited with reverb etc. for the anime).
Character - Again, as far as tropes go they're stock standard. Not much to be said about casting choice, as they used the original singers/VAs. Voice acting wasn't particularly outstanding either
Enjoyment - Was okay, but it wouldn't be first port of call if I was looking for something nice to watch when bored or procrastinating.
Overall - 5/10, would not watch again, would not recommend. I do appreciate the fact that the adaptation actually happened, but as far as expectations go I was rather disappointed with the end result. Anime Mirai OVAs have a reputation of being above par (such as Wasurenagumo by IG, Death Billiards) as new directors experiment, but this evidently wasn't one

So I heard that an anime called Ongaku Shoujo was going to be made this year. Then I saw it was a 25-minute OVA before that, and I sat down to watch it. But I won't lie, this OVA is really bad. I mean, seriously. I've never seen something so absolutely insipid, vapid, and downright annoying. It's basically about two girls, a shy blue-haired girl and a perky blonde haired girl, who run into each other thanks to singing, decide to become idols, and a lot of drama happens. That's it. There's absolutely nothing about its storyline that makes any effort to stand out, it doesn'teven try to make use of its potential or be interesting in any way. It's just a cookie cutter cutesy idol drama anime with no substance to it at all. Many anime I've seen that were similar to this one happened to pull off the premise much better, and the ham-fisted drama near the end really didn't endear me to it at all. It doesn't help that the characters are bland, empty, and have no substance to them at all, and their voice actresses overact to hell and back, and every single line that comes out of their mouth is hammy, screechy, high pitched, and downright grating on the ears, which is a shame because I know these actresses can put on MUCH better performances.
Honestly, the only good thing about this OVA is the animation. It's bright and colorful, very stimulating to the eyes, and the character movement is very fluid, almost KyoAni-like in its smoothness. Unfortunately, that's where the OVA's good qualities end.
But all of its flaws absolutely cannot compare to what I feel is the biggest detriment of this OVA: Haru.
She alone basically ruined the entire OVA. Simply put, she is annoying as hell! Not only is her design really stupid-looking (Why does she have that big bow in her hair, along with all those other hair clips?! They're not necessary, and it looks way too tacky!), the show tries to present her as a fun, perky, enthusiastic, cheerful girl who wants to be friends with Eri, the blue haired girl, but the way the anime executes her overall character makes her come off as unrelentingly bratty, self-entitled, selfish, and almost creepily parasitic in her persistence in attaching herself to Eri in some of the worst, most dangerous ways possible. She's also a complete idiot who not only does stupid things, but never gets punished for them. For example, when she goes to school, she brings a cat with her, and the teacher doesn't even call her out on the fact that she brought a cat with her. Aren't cats not allowed on school property? She also has absolutely NO respect for privacy and boundaries whatsoever. She goes through Eri's belongings, goes after her in the hot springs, and worst of all, when Eri is struggling with reading a book out loud in class, what's Haru's solution? Why mess with her body without her consent and physically UNDO HER BRA RIGHT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE!!! Oh, and at the end of the OVA, her solution to making Eri come up on stage is to put every embarrassing photo she took of her on display, on a big LCD screen, IN FRONT OF A MASSIVE AUDIENCE, EVEN NUDE PHOTOS, THEREBY HUMILIATING HER IN FRONT OF EVERYONE!!!
You see what I'm getting at here? If someone did that to me, I'd report them for sexual harassment! But does Haru get in trouble for it? Nope! Well, to be fair, Eri does call out Haru on everything she's done, but it doesn't stick because it's all played for comedy, and Eri is meant to be seen as just a prude who won't accept Haru's so-called "friendship." Sakura, Eri's friend, is even worse in this regard because not only does she completely ignore Eri's discomfort and never makes any attempt to help, but outright encourages Haru's dangerous behavior! Seriously, if this were a horror or a Lifetime-drama movie, I'm pretty sure Haru's behavior would be presented in a much more dark and serious light, as it should be. But the anime doesn't realize the ramifications of Haru's actions and tries to make the audience see it as nothing but cute and endearing!...which it seriously isn't. At all. Honestly, I wanted to jump in there and save Eri from that parasitic little brat. She deserves better than to be their target. Also not helping matters is that Haru is extremely egotistical and self-entitled, convinced that she's hot stuff and is a great singer...when she actually sucks really bad at singing. Eri even tells her such.
So...yeah. This OVA really could have been something good. Unfortunately, it's just not good. At all. This, my friends, is the prime example of how a really, really bad and badly written main character can completely ruin a show in its entirety. Thankfully, it seems like the creators realized this as well, since from what little they revealed recently, the upcoming TV series features a completely different storyline with a plethora of new characters, with Eri and Haru being just side characters now. I hope to God that the TV series doesn't make the same mistakes that this OVA did. Then again, Birdy The Mighty Decode turned a flawed OVA into a great TV series from what I've heard, so it can happen.
But in the end, though, Ongaku Shoujo is utter crap, all because Haru's a little shit.
