Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica

Anime Review:
Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica

Genre Adventure, Fantasy, Romance
Episodes: 12

Plot

In the continent of Polyphonica, spirits materialize in the world, surviving on the music that is played by humans, and live together with them. While the spirits don't appear often, some spirits have enough power to materialize in human or animal forms and live together with humans. Dantists, who play special music called "Commandia," are widely respected in this world. They are usually in contract with powerful spirits. The story of Shinkyoku Sōkai Polyphonica revolves around the new Dantist, Phoron Tatara, the spirit that he made contract with, Corticarte Apa Lagranges, and their friends, in their daily life and work.

In the anime, episode 1 to 10 explored the relationship between humans and spirits in the world of Polyphonica. This is shown either from Dantist like Phoron, or Direnn. The last two episodes focus on the Commandia that connects both kind of creatures.

CHARACTERS

Crimson (Original) Series

Phoron Tatara (タタラ・フォロン Tatara Foron?)
Voiced by: Hiroshi Kamiya (anime)
Voiced by: Tatsuya Kohashi (game)
The main protagonist. Phoron is a Dantist working in the Tsuge Divine Music Player Office. Although he is the master of the Red spirit, Corticarte is the one in control. He plays an organ-like instrument that can transform into a motorbike. He also uses a backpack piano-like One-Man Orchestra in occasions where he cannot uses his motorbike.
Corticarte Apa Lagranges (コーティカルテ・アパ・ラグランジェス Kōtikarute Apa Raguranjesu?)
Voiced by: Haruka Tomatsu (anime)
Voiced by: Riko Hirai (game)
The spirit Tatara made a contract with. Corti, as Phoron calls her, is one of the eldest spirits in their world, having six wings and called the Red Elder Spirit —as well as other titles such as Crimson Annihilator or Bloody Duchess. She is entranced by young Phoron's singing voice and thus decides to make a pact with him so he will be hers only.
Most of the time, Corti has the appearance of a child. She has a selfish character and dislikes it when Phoron is being kind to other girls.
Eufinley Tsuge (ツゲ・ユフィンリー Tsuge Yufinrī?)
Voiced by: Ayako Kawasumi (anime)
Voiced by: Keiko Suzuki (game)
The boss of the Tsuge Divine Music Player Office. She has a very strict character about jobs, and plays a violin-like instrument. She has a contract with two spirit, Yardio and Mashat, of whom the latter is seldom seen.
Yardio Voda Munagoul (ヤーディオ・ウォダ・ムナグール Yādio Voda Munagūru?)
Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama (anime)
Eufinley's covenant spirit. On the day they meet, Yardio quickly tried to make a covenant by kissing her, but received a punch in his face instead. He is a laid back character in contrast to the more serious Eufinley. He also likes to fight, and his power level is above most four winged spirits. Unlike Corti, Yardio is more blatant in showing that he likes Eufinley.
Renbart Saiki (サイキ・レンバルト Saiki Renbaruto?)
Voiced by: Katsuyuki Konishi (anime)
Voiced by: Ryūichi Kubota (game)
Phoron's friend and co-worker in Tsuge Divine Music Player Office. He plays a saxophone-like instrument, and is usually seen with small two-winged fairies. He has not made a contract with a spirit.

Voiced by: Tsubasa Yū (game)
Prinesca is Perserte's younger twin sister. She also works at Tsuge Divine Music Player Office. Everyone in the office usually addresses her as Prine (プリネ Purine?) except Phoron.

Her father's spirit saved Prinesca by offering to fuse herself with Prine, but with the consequence of ending her own life.
