Get ready to meet Beethoven the boxing pop star! Classic Stars, the first installment in UNISON’s Classic Verse media mix project, will be releasing character trailers for the next four weeks, introducing its classically-inspired anime boys. First up is “Beethoven,” voiced by Yuma Uchida (Reo Mikage in BLUE LOCK).
Like the other protagonists of Classic Stars, Beethoven is a normal guy who happens to be compatible with the “Gift” of a renowned composer. Once receiving said Gift, they are referred to in school by their respective composer’s name and trained up to be a musical great. Check out our first look at Beethoven in action:
Noriyasu Agematsu of Elements Garden serves as the planner and executive producer for Classic Stars. Hideaki Oba (Love of Kill) directs, with Shingo Nagai (Girly Air Force) on series composition and Yoko Sato (I’m in Love with the Villainess) on character designs. The anime is a co-production of UNISON and King Records, with Elements Garden handling music and Platinum Vision handling animation.
Classic Stars will also be the first installment in a wider Classic Verse project, through which UNISON will plan and produce titles with a common theme of classical music. Plans are also afoot for an as-yet-untitled isekai project, in which composers will be reincarnated into other worlds.
The Classic Stars anime is scheduled to debut sometime in 2025.
