A wonderful anime that can relate to almost all piano players.
Readers of the manga would love this anime. It is an adaptation of the manga (given that its a movie) but essentially it follows a similar storyline.
The animation is done well. The movement of the hands is shown accurately (for an anime) which I was happy to note as it is an anime based around the piano.
There are quite a number of famous songs from Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven and so on.
I love the idea they have of playing your own "sound" rather than imitating someone else's.
For music lovers this anime calls to you. Non-musical people worry not there are no technique music terms so you may still enjoy it just as well.
