Music Presentation:
Special thanks to Geneon Anime Music for sending a copy for a review for this site. This is one of many Anime CDs that are domestic release. I have yet to see this series, it will soon be release on DVD, but for now, the OST CD is all you will get for now. I really enjoy the music very much, most of them are classical tunes, but there are Irish type music as well (Track 09 & 10 for example). Since this series is about magic, growing up & adapting to life's changes, the music is reflected on that. There is the intro & ending theme & also, you get all the Eye Catch music (there are 9 versions) at the end of the CD. The music is during the little pause in the middle of the episode.
Audio 2.0:
I find no problem listening to the music. The tracks are well separated.
Packaging:
Since this Anime CD is a domestic release, it got almost the same as the original Japanese packaging, except with a few English adaptation changes. In the front, the main character of this series, Yume Kikuchi, sitting on a pole from a skyscraper, looking down sadly at the city. In the back, well, I find it a little odd for a non-Anime image to be use, it's just a happy sunflower. Though, it's totally opposite as the cover. The insert is pack with information. You will get a commentary about the series, each track for the music & a bio of Takefumi Haketa, the one who wrote the wonderful music you listen. It also have the lyrics, translated in English & have the original Japanese text as well. There is the credit listing, as well screenshots & more non-Anime images. The CD disc itself is the same as the cover. Since the CD case is a clear one, you will get a cloudy grey sunset background. It's a non-Anime image.
Overall CD Rating:
The music is very enjoyable by itself, but I'm going to wait for the series to be release. But, it's worth taking a look at it. Not only that, you will support Geneon Anime Music on releasing more Anime CDs in the near future.
