Classic Stars [Season 1 Episode 2]

Classic Stars Season 1 Episode 2: A Symphony of Chaos and Charm

If you’re looking for a show that blends classical music, teenage drama, and a sprinkle of absurdity, Classic Stars might just be your next guilty pleasure. Episode 2, titled (unofficially) “Beethoven vs. Mozart: The Roommate War,” dives deeper into the chaotic lives of the students at Gloria Private Academy—where legendary musicians’ talents are literally implanted into modern-day teens. Produced by Platinum Vision and premiering in April 2025, this anime is already stirring up mixed reactions, and after watching this episode, it’s easy to see why.

The Plot Thickens (or Just Gets Weirder)

The episode picks up with Beethoven (the brooding, boxing-obsessed protagonist) and Mozart (the flamboyant, mischievous genius) still at odds as roommates. The tension is palpable—Beethoven would rather throw punches than hit high notes, while Mozart seems to thrive on pushing his buttons. Fans on MyAnimeList couldn’t help but laugh at Beethoven’s stubborn refusal to embrace his musical “gift,” with one user joking, “I’ll do anything to be able to box again… Except this competition!”

Meanwhile, the episode throws in a curveball with a figure skating performance that had viewers divided. Some loved the “yaoi vibes” (shoutout to the Mozart x Misha shippers), while others found it a bit too much. One fan hilariously noted, “Ice prince, are you ready for a surprise butt fuck?”—a line that perfectly captures the show’s unapologetically chaotic energy.

The Absurdity Factor

Let’s be real: Classic Stars isn’t trying to be high art. It’s a ridiculous, over-the-top spectacle, and that’s exactly what makes it fun. As one Reddit user put it, “Not everything has to be a slow-burn psychological contemplation of the human experience… sometimes it’s nice to sit back and enjoy the absurd dumb fun.”

The episode’s highlight? Mozart’s performance, which included a sudden gender-bending moment that left fans in stitches. “I couldn’t stop laughing when Misha turned into a girl during the song—and that blush? Priceless,” wrote one viewer. It’s these kinds of unpredictable, meme-worthy moments that keep the audience hooked, even if they’re not entirely sure why.

The Polarizing Reception

Not everyone is sold, though. Some critics called the characters “unlikeable,” and the lack of female representation was a sticking point for others. “Everyone is unlikeable, too many yaoi vibes. I mean, there’s not a single female in the cast,” complained one disgruntled fan.

But for those who embraced the madness, the episode was a blast. The dynamic between Beethoven and Mozart—whether you ship them or just enjoy their bickering—is undeniably entertaining. One fan even quipped, “I wish Beethoven and Mozart would go ahead and fuq. It sure would help their aggressiveness towards each other.”

Final Verdict: Dumb Fun Done Right

Classic Stars Episode 2 is a rollercoaster of emotions, from laughter to secondhand embarrassment. It’s not deep, it’s not groundbreaking, but it’s fun—and sometimes, that’s enough. If you’re in the mood for something lighthearted, chaotic, and unapologetically extra, give it a shot. Just don’t take it too seriously.

As one fan perfectly summarized: “This is a very dumb show, but in a way that I deeply enjoy.” And honestly? Same.

Rating: 7.5/10 – A messy, hilarious, and oddly charming episode that proves sometimes, absurdity is the best medicine.
