This anime is one of my favorites of all time with its compelling story, theme, and music. It was weird at first giving all categories 10's. But I do believe this anime deserves a 10 for all categories.
Story: The story is very character driven. The story centers on the main character, Kousei, and his battle against his inner demons. The way the plot is set up, in my opinion, is astounding. A good story really needs a strong ending. Basically, The ending of the story made me go "wow". In my opinion, It blew my mind.
Art: The artwork is absolutely beautiful. One thing I love is that they create the scenes that correlate with the mood of the scene. This anime has beautiful vibrant colors that really fits in.
Sound: The music score is amazing as everyone would hope from a musical anime. There are scenes in this anime that made the sound to where we get a perspective of what the character is hearing himself. This gives it great emphasis on what the character is going through and it fits in with theme of the story.
Character: The biggest highlight I want to talk about, of course, is Kousei. The story centers around him and the character development for him is phenomenal. If there were no character development for this character, this anime would ultimately fail. But no, they did a wonderful job. The other characters are likable in my opinion and played a good part for the story in order for Kousei to grow as a person.
Enjoyment: Needless to say that I really enjoyed the anime. I watched it while airing and it was really hard waiting for a new episode every week. I enjoyed every episode from start to finish. It was a fun and emotional ride and I enjoyed every second of it.
Overall: I loved this anime that it belongs to my top 10 favorite anime of all time (its an uncompleted list). This is recommendation for all who loves classical music, romance, and character driven plot.
