This film features Gauche, a cellist, and by the way the conductor is super disappointed in his playing during a rehearsal, is not all that great a player. With the big concert just around the corner, Gauche must step up his game or else risk disappointing everybody. Motivation being on his side, he goes back to his small lonely little cottage house and starts to practice. Each concurring night, he is visited by a different animal, which in turn, helps teach him different techniques that end up improving his playing. A nice story told basically in music form.
If it has not been guessed yet, the music in this anime is superb. The old classical music seems to match and blend perfectly with the old coloring and hashing style of the art. Most would think that the art is out dated, but in some realities it is simply unique and different.
Gauche the Cellist really puts the viewer into the audience chair during each of Gauche’s performances. A different technique, some light humour, just a really simple and nice story that brings some peace to the anime world.
