Synopsis

With the start of the Chopin piano competition, Kai Ichinose, Shuuhei Amamiya, and many other hopeful musicians from around the world strive to reach the top. The stakes have never been higher, and the judges are rigorous when it comes to selecting the winner out of the plethora of talented pianists. This competition is so harsh that even famous prodigies can be easily eliminated.

Some play for the money, some play to fulfill their duty to their families, and yet others play for their music to be heard. However, the only one who can reach the top is the one who embodies the spirit of the music Frédéric Chopin crafted for future generations. With the stakes higher than ever before, rivalries, friendships, and family ties will be tested, and each pianist will find their own sound.

I want to write a review here because this anime is unfortunately too underrated and I am in love with it. So, hi! minor spoiler maybe.

Just to get it out of the way: By the looks of it, namely the art, it's not reeeeally good and some shots look cheap, I wish they had done a better job. And you may overlook this series if you just want something quick paced.
Forget all that, where Piano no Mori shines is in its subtle undertones.

Albeit at first glance it presents itself with a known formula of poor boy-rich boy, it goes on and carries much more than ...

I really like the story. I come from extreme poverty (USA standards), a single parent, and Kai Ichinose's story really resonates with me. The ending had me crying for sure.

We'll start with the positives:

- Kai's story is amazing and his "rivalry" with Amamiya is really well done. The line blur between best friends and archenemies is really well done.

- In season 2, everybody is extremely well fleshed out. If you like characters, season 2 is filled with them. Nearly everybody competing in the competition has their motivations to win.

- The "corruption" is also a really nice touch and well-needed aspect to the story.

- The Ending ...

Mixed Feelings
This is based on second half of one of the greatest manga ever written. They left a lot of the story out because they only had 24 episodes total, and while that included some of my favorite parts the heart of the story is all present.

Let's just get this part out of the way. The animation sucks. All the CGI from the first season is gone and everything has been replaced with stills for the most part. They show motion by overlaying some moving bubble layer on top of the audience and pianist whenever music is being played, and by panning over still pictures. ...
