Such is the story of Arima Kousei, a very talented piano player who happens to be a highschool student. He always hoped that he would reach his loved ones as the sounds from the piano notes would resound in the minds of his complete audience and his personal audience if you, understand my meaning.
He is hit by life in the form of his mothers death, so hard that his ears will no longer capture the blissful sound of the piano.
Now Kousei has a fateful encounter with a spirited girl called Kaori. How will this encounter affect his future is for you to find out.
To be honest, artwork is a tad sloppy around the characters, however colorful and vivid regarding the backgrounds, especially in the scenes where the town is emphasized. Motions of the characters seemed very delicate suggesting some effort of the producers, however the characters are somewhat neglected on other aspects than motion and even though it did not change my opinion of the series it is noticeable.
The quality of the music on this anime is off the charts, classical piano music floods your ears and sets your mind on different emotions based on the song played. For the first time when I hear the piano in this series I looked forward to hearing the next song, even if it would be incomplete.
Harmonious balance between the story and sound is what makes this a great series and I look forward to hearing about it in the future.
