I try to rarely feature anime I haven't at least seen the first episode of, but since this gem of a series was recommended to me by several of my good anime watching friends I decided to feature it the same week I'm going to be starting it. I did watch half an episode back when this premiered but for some reason I never finished the episode... nor did I remember about the series. Maybe the episodes I had got deleted when I lost a good chunk of my anime a few months ago. oh well! I'm going to be watching it now and that's all that matters :3 You might notice this anime started in fall of 2014 but didn't finish until March 20th 2015. Kind of strange since it's only 22 episodes. Maybe there was a delay or something between episodes!

Synopsis:
Piano prodigy Arima Kosei dominated the competition and all child
musicians knew his name. But after his mother, who was also his
instructor, passed away, he had a mental breakdown while performing at a
recital that resulted in him no longer being able to hear the sound of
his piano even though his hearing was perfectly fine. Even two years
later, Kosei hasn't touched the piano and views the world in monotone,
and without any flair or color. He was content at living out his life
with his good friends Tsubaki and Watari until, one day, a girl changed
everything. Miyazono Kaori is a pretty, free spirited violinist whose
playing style reflects her personality. Kaori helps Kosei return to the
music world and show that it should be free and mold breaking unlike the
structured and rigid style Kosei was used to.
