I enjoyed it, and it had some good action scenes. Though I wasn't 100% sure as to what was going on through some parts. |

This anime is what happens when you mix Akira, Freedom, Mind Game, animators on drugs (Studio 4C) and imagination. 8/10 |

I think it's like a post modern myth, it approachs abstractely for some phylosofical contemporary ideas, like the "reason crisis". If you see the Noiseman creature like a simbol for the set of ideas accumulated on the modern age, that dominates the "city", and separates people in ghost and cristals (reference of the platonic and cristian duality of "body" an "soul/mind") and likes STATIC and PETRIFIED cristals of people instead of FREE and REBEl souls/ghosts... it represents the modern society that can only be beated by eating the "music berry" (an approach, in my vision, of the fruit of good and evil, that allows you to dicerne things and choose your way) that grows in the sea in the center of the town ( represents the earth and the nature, [nature means not only plants and animals but also the HUMAN nature] cling to nature, externaly and internaly, is a strong feature in the post modern thinking and the reason crisis) Then if you wake people up and defeat noiseman (the word "noise" makes me think about excess of information and pressure that leaves you dizzy) you can hear the "music of your soul" thats soooo beautifull. And then the ending music talks about the laws of nature and cicle of life. The movie makes you think how wonderfull is to defeat Noiseman and wake up eatin the berry of consciousness to listen the music of your soul! People without sensibility should see this wonderfull and extremely creative movie just as a "cool-weird-thing" that is amazing because it confuses you. Studio 4ºC is one of the greatest groups not only of animation, but of the whole art, their works are a lot more complex and meaningful that simply "drugs" and "weirdness". |

Ahh, that was great! It's kind of incredible how Studio 4ºC can create a more interesting world in fifteen minutes than some anime can in a full season (I'm looking at you, Symphogear!) The usage of pastel colors always appeals to me, and the character designs were unique without being over-the-top. The only complaint I have is that it was a little difficult to follow the story jump, but other than that, I absolutely loved it. |

That was pretty cool, great music and art. Idk completely about the story, I was lost a little bit but I got most of it(being a little longer could have fixed it). I would have loved to see an epilogue, what the city turns into, very music filled. |

Talk about a failed scientific experiment. How in the world did an entire city get caught up by that? |

Wacky and weird anime but it was enjoyable. But Tobio's jelly body was the creepiest if them all, even than Noiseman. I guess this anime depicted the ugliness of Noise and how it affects the city. Everyone was able to hear music after the noise, which means music doesn't equate to noise. |

Very cool visually but it's so fast paced without the synopsis I would have had no idea what is going on. |
