Seriosuly, this was my first music anime, and yes i know music isnt the main thing in it, the romance and drama are a bigger part of it, but it is still a music anime.
Lets start with the story, it may not be super original, boy genius with dark past meets girl that breathes life into his world, with her music and her overall personality, and thats all im gonna say about it to avoid any spoilers :)
But regardless of its originallity, its extremly captivating, to see this love story unfold, to see Arima deal with his ghosts, while at the same time getting involved in other dramas surrounding his friends.
Which leads us to my second point, the characters, i cna honestly say that i loved every character in this anime, well just about, you not gonna see me say how much i loved kid A on desk B in Scene C of the 4th episode, but the 4 main characters and a big chunk of the secondary characters are infact great, they have very unique personalities and are very well fleshed out, and they dont really fit into your usual stereotypes, which is great.
Not only are the characters great, but also their relationships with each other and how diferent characters are connected.
Next lets talk about the art and sound quality.
First of all, i love the music in this anime, i really do, i can apreciate classcal music, and that probably helps, but thats not the only type of music in this anime of course, simply put, all the musical pieces fit the animes atmosphere perfectly, to the upbeat intros, to the more emotianal songs in the dramatic scenes and obviously the classical music played by both the piano and violin.
Overall i enjoyed the crap out of this anime, it made me laugh, it made me cry it made me care so much for the characters, it sucks that it ended, but of course it had to, and i really liked the ending as well haha.
This anime is great, go watch it now.
