Crimson S is an attempt to rectify this, and make the first series more accessable and understandable to viewers.

One of the main issues with the first season was that the characters were transparent for the most part, with no basis for their thoughts, actions or ideals. This isn't the only time Crimson S plays fast and loose with the story, and the reason for these deviations is beause this series is meant to enhance and develop the characters. The first series very clearly shows their first encounter to be at Tsuge's offices, however Crimson S has them being school friends. Unfotunately, there are some deviations that occur in Crimson S that openly contradict some of the events from the first anime, one of which is Phoron and Corti's first meeting with the Yugiri twins (Perserte and Prinesca).

Corti became partners, with much hi-jinx and shenanigans from evil musicians and school bullies along the way.Īt first glance it appears as though this is nothing more than a prequel to the first series and, for the most part, this would be a fair assessment. Crimson S, on the other hand, sets out to show how Phoron and The first series followed the lives of the employees of the Tsuge Divine Music Players Office, in particular, Tatara Phoron and his contracted spirit Corticarte Apa Lagranges (Corti). This isn't where the similarity ends though, as both Gouka Kenran and Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica Crimson S suffer from almost exactly the same problems, and for almost identical reasons. At first it may seem that the two shows have very little in common aside from involving the supernatural and artistic performances. It's highly ironic that my most recent review was for Sakura Taisen: Gouka Kenran.
