Ghost Concert: Missing Songs Episode 1 Review
Anime Feminist reviewed the premiere of Ghost Concert: Missing Songs, an original anime set in 2045 Japan where human-made music is banned and an app called MiucS generates socially appropriate sounds. The episode follows high schooler Seria, who initially accepts the system but becomes curious after hearing someone singing, a crime described as catching an audible virus. When she investigates, she encounters a ghost and becomes possessed, gaining a flirtatious alter ego. The review praises the premiere for blending science fiction with fantasy elements, particularly the possession plotline and a second song that impressed the reviewer. The reviewer notes the series explores themes of humanity and technology, contrasting Seria's interest in traditional Japanese crafts with the chrome-and-concrete world. The review calls the plot twist unpredictable and says the episode became one of the reviewer's favorites of the season, though it does not spoil the twist. The reviewer expresses high hopes for the series, calling it interesting from start to finish.
