Harmony of Mille-Feuille focuses on a club group of A capella singers slowly learning to harmonize both their vocals and personalities, while a unique idea for a show, its 10-episode runtime should be all you really need to know.
Animation: 10/20
While falling into the standard modern-day quality of animation, nothing here is overly incredible or memorable, the set pieces are standard for the genre, and while not exactly a fantasy show, the character designs were lukewarm at best, my favourite being Minami Karin, though I do admire that style of character so take from that what you will.
Story: 10/20
It's your fairly typical group of quirky girls who each have their designated character flaws, which slowly get resolved over the course of the show. Nothing here hasn't been done before in a different way, but the a cappella twist was interesting at least.
Music: 10/20
Interestingly, the standout here was the music; I've listened to a cappella groups before, particularly baritone, and was infact why I choose this one as my next to get to, it's interesting and I liked the contrast between the Club and uni groups, it's a shame they didn't get to develop into something great throughout the show, though.
Uniqueness: 10/20
Likewise, the A Cappella subplot was an interesting twist compared to your usual anime, but it does feel a little shoehorned in, given the plethora of idol anime available. While my knowledge of a cappella is limited, the show did seem to do a fairly good job at representing the style, so I'll give it props for that.
Enjoyment: 10/20
It's short, sweet, and I was able to get emotionally attached to some of the characters, but it felt like it was trying too hard with the "I'm a quirky person with a character flaw, look at me" that, at times, was a little eyerolling. I'd say if you're a fan of a capella you might get something out of this, but it really is just your run-of-the-mill anime with a unique B-plot.
