I'm planning on watching this anime since I've heard friends tell me it's similar to other anime I've watched but I'm not really interested in music a lot, so would it be boring to watch as a person who knows basically nothing about music?

music isn’t the main focus, it’s focused on the other genres the most, and music is just a base for it to go off of

I didn’t like the ending to White Album 2 but it is not all music oriented. Romance would be the primary other genre.

I think music like how demon isn't a genre but like a theme. its not like a music focused show, just a show with music as a theme

But would you say that being knowledgeable in music would make the anime more enjoyable?

No, it wouldn't change it, its just singing and stuff not like actual music

The music and scene scores are a thematic element and a plot device to the love triangle. That being said, the music is all very good and this anime is overall one I'll always recommend to anyone who can withstand some sadness.

The music is in there but not the main focus. Only keep in mind, the anime only tells the first quarter of the story. You need to read the visual novel for the rest. Luckily it's now translated in English and it's one hell of a ride, by far the best romance story I've seen.

Also if you like it, Saekano is by the same writer and is very good as well. It's 2 seasons and a movie

The music isn't the main focus, but it's really good/memorable. WA2 is primarily character driven.

If you're into a highschool drama with strong feelings and relatable characters٫ go for it. Its not primarily around music so you wont have to worry about that.

if you're watching this for music then I personally wouldn't watch it as it doesn't necessarily focus on music but on other stuff

There was more nuance to that than you give credit for. All 3 of them ruined all 3 of their relationships. If anything, I respect Setsuna for being the only one who directly went after what she wanted. The real "ruiner of relationships" is Haruki.

I may have some revisionist memories of the anime though because after playing through the VN I can say it does a much better job portraying that aspect than the anime did. Perhaps it's time I rewatched this one. But hard disagree on hating either girl for what they did.

I mean admittingly it has been a while since I’ve watched the anime. I remember one of the main things I took away from the show was my annoyance for Setsuna. But now that I’m more mature maybe I’d be able to grasp on to what you’re saying. Maybe watching that show at 13 wasn’t a good idea… lmao
