* AdaptationalSexuality: Played with. In real life, Liszt was known for his multiple romances with women and Tchaikovsky was one of the most famous homosexual composers. It appears that being gender-flipped hasn't changed their sexual preferences at all since Liszt frequently flirts with Kanae and Tchaiko has a crush on Bach. However, due to said GenderFlip, this means that Liszt is a lesbian and Tchaiko is straight.

* NotSoForgottenBirthday: Episode 2 for Kanae.Kanae.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Played straight by Beethes in ep 1, but most notable is the variant in ep 2, where the camera spends a good few seconds just focussing on Motz's angry face with glowing pink eyes.
* TrainingFromHell: Motz gets this treatment in ep 2...for his Mujik.
* TransformationSequence: Apparently part of the Classicaloid shtick once one of them gets enraged enough. It tends to evoke the typical MagicalGirl sequence due to all the sparkles...so in short, Classicaloid = Magical Maestro Boy/Girl. (The funny thing is, Motz's hat only changes shade.)

* ACupAngst: Kanae shows hints of this in ep 2, but [[PetitePride gets praised for it]] by a bustier friend in regards to swimming.


Added DiffLines:

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Mozart is pink (feminine and childish), Beethoven is red (manly and heroic) and so on.

* GenderFlip: The most notable of the changes to the Classicaloid versions compared to the original ones are that Tchaikovsky and Liszt are female. Averted by a compser that was actually female in real life (Badarzewska).

''Classicaloid'' (sometimes [=ClassicaLoid=], but that would stuff with the CamelCase) is an Fall2016Anime original series directed by Yoichi Fujita (fairly fresh off Manga/OsomatsuSan) and produced by Sunrise and NHK. Its official website is [[http://www.classicaloid.net/ here]].

It's been described as "[[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/preview-guide/2016/fall/classicaloid/.107364 [doing] for composers what]] ''Manga/BungouStrayDogs'' [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/preview-guide/2016/fall/classicaloid/.107364 does for famous authors]]". If you don't know what that means, don't worry. Our protagonist Kanae Otowa and her childhood friend Sousuke Kagara didn't either.

Basically, Kanae's grandma's old mansion is suddenly...invaded...by two people claiming to be friends of her dad's - Beethoven and Mozart (call 'em "Beethes" and "Motz", because that's what they call themselves). Sousuke has his stuff stashed in boxes in the mansion, so he meets them too.

Just when the house is about to be demolished, Beethoven flips out over some failed gyoza and starts to play music, causing the environment around him to act weirdly - mecha appear, paintings come to life and the pet shoebill waltzes along with everyone!

It would not suffice to say that Kanae's and Sousuke's lives are never to be the same again...

* BenevolentAI: Pad-kun. Yes, that tablet hangs out with Sousuke so much it deserves a [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics -kun]] and a character spot on the official page.
* GenderFlip: The most notable of the changes to the Classicaloid versions compared to the original ones are that Tchaikovsky and Liszt are female. Averted by a compser that was actually female in real life (Badarzewska).
* GratuitousAnimalSidekick: Hashie, the shoebill. [[DontExplainTheJoke He seems a bit shoehorned...]]
* GratuitousGerman: The "let's play our music!" line is spoken in German by Beethesin episode 1.
* TheNotRemix: Half the gimmick of the show is to rejig classical songs so that they have a modern flair to them, just like what happened with the composers themselves. Not even the very popular ''Eine Kleine Nachtmusik'' is exempt from this treatment...
