I've never written a review before so I may not have the best insight but nevertheless it'll be an honest and pure opinion!
I actually watched Liz to Aoi Tori before starting this which is what piqued my curiosity regarding the original anime. I'm so happy that I made the choice to just sit down and give it a chance. I loved everything about the anime series.
Story-wise it's nothing earth-shattering. It's your typical high-school club / life drama but by no means does this mean it's bad. It's just all so relatable and it really pulls you into the life of all the wonderful characters. It
...
makes you care about what they're all going through at this point in their life and you want to know what happens next.
Speaking of characters - the cast is amazing. There are a lot, makes sense since the story revolves around a high school band, but each one serves a purpose and are all so likeable. Kyoani really went all out to make sure you could spot and notice every single member of the band, sitting with the appropriate band members, interacting with everybody else. It was just an awesome thing to see. You'll fall in love with more than a handful of them, not just the main characters.
And of course the art and sound? Do I need to say more? It's beautiful. The amount of detail into the art, characters, environs is what you expect from Kyoani and this one definitely delivers. It's all so well realized and makes you feel like you're actually there. Voice acting is top notch, the cast did a remarkable job bringing everybody to life. Interaction between characters actually felt like genuine high-school conversations and the emotion is all there.
And the music? What good is an anime about a high school band if the instruments and music itself was subpar? Thankfully, again this was done extremely well. It's all done beautifully and makes you want to pick up an instrument and just play.
I think it's pretty obvious but this is one of my favourite animes of all time. Because everything just fits together so well. It made me want to go back to high school and just play musical instruments with my friends again. Give it a chance, I promise you'll fall in love with the world, the story, the characters, the music and everything else in between.
... And the next piece begins!
