This is absolutely beautiful
This by far the most emotionally affecting anime I have seen. The first that has brought tears. The characters, the art, the music… just a brilliant example of what anime can mean.
Throughout, it helped me process a lot of feelings with my own life. Whether past relationships, aging parents, or even being a musician myself. I appreciated the way it slowly unfolded the major plot twist so I had time to think through it before it actually happened. And the final episode was just… gorgeous in every single way.
This anime is perfect. And now I feel a sense of emptiness and loneliness, combined with hope and strength, that will help me in the days and weeks to come.
