Fourteen-year-old piano
prodigy Kōsei Arima becomes famous after winning several music competitions.
When his mother Saki suddenly dies, Kōsei has a mental breakdown while
performing at a piano recital; this results in him becoming unable to hear the
sound of his piano, even though his hearing is otherwise unaffected.
Two years later, Kōsei
has not touched the piano and views the world in monochrome. He does not focus
on excelling in any activities and often spends time with his friends Tsubaki
Sawabe and Ryōta Watari. Kōsei meets Kaori Miyazono, an audacious,
free-spirited, fourteen-year-old violinist whose playing style reflects her
manic personality. Kaori helps Kōsei return to playing the piano and shows him
his playing style can be free and groundbreaking. As Kaori continues to uplift
Kōsei's spirits, he quickly realizes he loves her, although she seems to be
interested in Ryōta.
During a performance,
Kaori, who is anaemic and needs routine testing, collapses and is hospitalized.
She invites Kōsei to play with her at a gala but she does not arrive. Her
health deteriorates and she becomes dejected. Kōsei plays a duet with a friend,
which motivates Kaori to attempt a risky potentially deadly surgery so she may
possibly play with Kosei once more. While playing in the finals of the Eastern
Japan Piano Competition, Kōsei sees Kaori's spirit accompanying him and
realizes she has died during the surgery.
At her funeral, Kaori's
parents give Kōsei a letter from Kaori that reveals she was aware of her
impending death and became more free-spirited, both as a person and in her
music, so she would not take her regrets to Heaven. She also says she had been
in love with Kōsei since watching him perform at a concert when she was five.
This inspired her to play the violin so she could play with him one day. Kaori
fabricated her feelings towards Ryōta so she could to get closer to Kōsei
without hurting Tsubaki, who also had affections for Kōsei. Tsubaki comforts
Kōsei and tells him she will be by his side. Kaori also leaves behind a picture
of herself as a child, coming back from the concert that inspired her, with
Kōsei in the background. Kōsei later frames this picture.
What an experience it was
watching this anime. This is something every one should watch regardless of the
specific interest. How will it get you ? with Pain, Love and Music ! Not a fan
of music based movie/series and i was avoiding this anime for a while for it
but finally boredom and "don't have anything interesting to watch"
made me watch it and i don't regret it ! First, lets talk about the character
developement, its amazing, it unveils the true nature, what they feel and the
past of each character at the right time. Characters are unique and well
thought out.They really give the time on The Main protagonist (Kousei Arima)
but he won't be your favourite. The Plot seems cliche, 'Pianist Boy Falls in
Love with Violinist girl' but its not. This anime is very different from what
it seems like and if not way better. The animation is great and the soundtrack
is better, with classical music being the highlight of the anime. Although this
anime, in my pov don't make a great 'empowered by music' show, Maybe because
i'm not interested in classical Piano music. The one part i don't really like
about it is its overly dramatic background monologues. It doesn't occur often
(Only when he plays the piano) and some of them are AMAZING and actually leaves
a big 'on point' notes and the rest is just too long. But it didnt matter to me
at all because this anime is such a emotional roller coaster and the Ending
makes it a worth while ride. Don't wanna give too much out but the end (what's
supposed to be a very depressed ending to the story) will leave you with this
heart warming and heart wrenching feeling that takes quite a while to forget.
Some would want it to end differently but personally it couldn't be any better.
PS: giving this a 9/10 simply because there isn't such a thing called perfect
and it's the flaws that makes it what it is.
