An official website launched for a TV anime adaptation of Amyuu Sakura's Kono Oto Tomare! (Stop This Sound!) manga on Thursday.

Synopsis
Since the graduation of the senior members of the club, Takezou ends up being the sole member of the "Koto" (traditional Japanese string instrument) club. Now that the new school year has begun, Takezou will have to seek out new members into the club, or the club will become terminated. Out of nowhere, a new member barges into the near-abandoned club room, demanding to join the club. How will Takezou be able to keep his club alive and deal with this rascal of a new member?

Lost all hopes seeing the staff and studio, and since the manga's best strength is art and atmosphere of the performances, this is doomed to fail. At least hope this means official translation of the manga.

It's serialized in a shounen magazine, people. It has a lot of music playing in it, and there's also some romance. But it's still shounen.

Wel yeah, and this is also "shounen", as wiki says "is manga aimed at a teenage male target-demographic"

Im crying finally an adaptation!!
"Everyone fails sometimes
But dreams won't fade, dreams won't fade
Let's chase them as many times as it takes and don't lose
Because today after all is today and once you wake up, it'll be a new morning"

Pleasantly surprised this got an anime. It felt more suitable for a TV drama imo but I think it could work out. (even though I wish they get a better studio for it)

I'm looking forward to it but knowing PlatVision I am afraid they'll end up with non moving pictures when performing.

Just great. I'll be thrilled to see how badly one can adapt a good manga.
