A poignant story about an eccentric girl leading a buckled under pianist back to music that has a very strong start, starts moving in circles for a while in the middle (it would’ve probably done better as 13 episode show without those extra characters), and then ends with a damn nuclear bang.
Positive: | Negative: |
Attractive character designs | The plot starts going around in circles when Kaori is absent for the most of the second half |
Beautiful, effective background music | There should have been more co-op performances with Kaori |
Interesting, likable, relatively profound characters (especially Kaori) | Romance doesn’t go as far as it could have |
Tasteful, well-written romance | Not the most groundbreaking or original of stories |
Captivating plot, especially during the first half | |
A strong ending |
