Mashiro no Oto

Both shows present an unknown part of Japanese culture.
The MC in Mashiro no Oto reminds me alot of Arata from Chihayafuru, going into details would spoil a key event in the first season of Chihayafuru, but fans of the show will see the connection.
Both have a serious tone, with some comedic sections, which makes for an entertaining watch.
Both have unique artstyles, Chihayafuru has a unique character design, and Mashiro no Oto has an almost watercolor-esque art style, this really sets both shows apart from the masses of shows that air.
Mashiro no oto is a music anime with an traditional music instrument called shimisen, chihayafuru is a sport anime with karuta as a traditional game they play.
In chihayafuru, we have a character called wataya arata, he is similar to mashiro no oto's protagonist, setsu. Their personality, accent and appearance all look similar. You can view Mashiro no oto as chihayafuru but with arata as the main characte.
