Review of Arte

To put it simple, Arte a very consistent anime, and I'm almost confident that everyone will enjoy this one. why? because I believe that this anime is made for everyone. The Plot. now you all might think that Arte is bad because it's cliche but keep in mind that there's a lot of Cliche animes that are still good and is getting praises, yes Arte is cliche as it's about a girl who wants to prove herself, however through episode you'll see Arte struggle from episode 1 where no one believes in her, until the ending where everyone had her back. It was such a sight seeingher earn the respect of a lot of people who used to doubt her.
The Fact that the setting is also in 16th century Italy also adds to the enjoyment of the show because we rarely see an anime set in Baroque or Renaissance period, also It wasn't rushed and while there are some parts in the manga that wasn't animated, I do think that all the important parts were animated.

Characters
While the anime is very Arte-Centric considering that she's the main character, I appreciate the fact that the production really put some efforts to the secondary characters like Leo, Veronica etc..
Though they did not develop from a casual viewer's standpoint, I do think that they are likable enough enough to not really need a character development, and even without it, every secondary character has their own episode where they truly shine.
and of course I like that they are learning something new everyday.
as for Arte, I think she's a consistent likable MC, yes she's your typical Genki and Motivated girl but it's really fun seeing her do her best and earn the respect that she desrves.
The one character that stood up to me aside from Arte is Catalina (or Katerina), probably because her story is similar to Arte.
however even with all the Likability, considering that it's not well talked, I don't think that a lot will remember the characters here, not to mention that their designs look generic.

Art and Sound
I'm not really that critical for the Art, but I do like Arte's art, it captures the lively European setting combined with the lively music which makes it fun to watch every scenes especially Arte's struggle.
I also think Mikako Komatsu did a good job as a Arte, considering that Arte is a Tomboy.
Yuri's VA also did a good job.
In regards to the sound, I did enjoy the opening it's very lively that is fitting for Arte and the ending was good too.

Overall, Arte is a good anime that I'm confident that everyone will enjoy this and that the only way you'll criticize this is when you're the critical type or Arte is just not for you.
