What is it about?
Kōsei Arima was a piano prodigy until his mother died when he was eleven years old. The shock of losing her made him lose any interest in piano, and his life has felt monotonous ever since. Then, when he's fourteen, his childhood friend Tsubaki introduces him to her classmate Kaori, a free-spirited violinist. Her enthusiasm reignites his interest in music and in life.
Why am I reviewing:
I nearly skipped this gem just because of the music genre. I have really explored music anime genre before but somehow the art dragged me into watching the first few episodes and after hearing the music, I
...
manage to forgive it's limited use of CGI. By second episode was the hook. Ironically the fact it was music anime had me was the reason that kept me watching. The music, the music... THE MUSIC.. what can I say?
Why do you recommend it?
By the end of the series, I was just left in awe, and honestly a bit (extremely) emotional. To compare, the 'feels' in this series surpasses the highly praised Clannad: After Story for one simple reason. I was just slightly more attached to the relationship our main characters shared than I was with Clannad. But the story is not about tragedy. It's about inspiration, passion, moving forward, family, friendship, helping each other (many more). It is about life and how hard it can be to carry on, but you still gotta do it. You still gotta live your life to your fullest.
