Dantalian no Shoka is a show about of books. Therefore, if you don't have an interest in literature (e.g. poetry, books, etc), this show probably won't resonate with you. The story progresses at a relaxing pace which can also throw people off. Has a soundtrack that I am very fond of. That art style isn't amazing but is still done well. If you're wanting to see a "Should you watch this show" type of thing, then I would say: watch the pilot and see for yourself Mr.I'm-to-cool-to-watch-the-pilot-of-a-show-that-I-don't-know-because-I-read-MAL-reviews.
