Polyphonica

Phoron Tatara isn't your typical musician. He belongs to a rare class of Dantists who summon elder spirits with music called Commandia, turning melodies into power that can shape reality. His partner in this risky art is Corticarte Apa Lagranges, a legendary spirit who appears in human form as a girl with an intense presence. Her nicknames, The Crimson Annihilator and The Bloody Duchess, hint at the danger she can unleash when the situation calls for it. Together they take on assignments from the Tsuge Divine Music Player Office, traveling across Polyphonica on a hybrid machine that is part motorcycle, part organ. They respond to crises, repair problems, and push their talents to the limit, one voyage at a time.

This 2007 anime is built within the Polyphonica universe created by Kenichi Kanemaki. It translates his music driven fantasy into animation and features a standout voice cast led by Ayako Kawasumi as Tsuge Eufinley, Haruka Tomatsu as Corticarte Apa Lagranges, Hiroshi Kamiya as Tatara Phoron, and Nana Mizuki as Perserte Yugiri.

Critical reception appears modest, with a small vote average of 6.0 out of 10 from two voters. The show centers on a partnership between human talent and a powerful elder spirit, exploring teamwork, responsibility, and the ways music can rally people to act. Its musical battle scenes pair action with melody.

Within its niche audience, Polyphonica has a small but devoted following that appreciates the blend of fantasy, music, and creature ethics. The core duo Phoron and Corticarte stands out as the defining image for fans, though its influence on broader pop culture remains limited.
