Synopsis

With the start of the Chopin piano competition, Kai Ichinose, Shuuhei Amamiya, and many other hopeful musicians from around the world strive to reach the top. The stakes have never been higher, and the judges are rigorous when it comes to selecting the winner out of the plethora of talented pianists. This competition is so harsh that even famous prodigies can be easily eliminated.

Some play for the money, some play to fulfill their duty to their families, and yet others play for their music to be heard. However, the only one who can reach the top is the one who embodies the spirit of the music Frédéric Chopin crafted for future generations. With the stakes higher than ever before, rivalries, friendships, and family ties will be tested, and each pianist will find their own sound.

I want to write a review here because this anime is unfortunately too underrated and I am in love with it. So, hi! minor spoiler maybe.

Just to get it out of the way: By the looks of it, namely the art, it's not reeeeally good and some shots look cheap, I wish they had done a better job. And you may overlook this series if you just want something quick paced.
Forget all that, where Piano no Mori shines is in its subtle undertones.

The 2nd season of Piano no Mori was basically a tournament arc that featured talented musicians taking on each other in the International Chopin competition in Poland. This season was a definite step up from the first and you could see that the animation was more polished. They also cut out that weird 2D to 3D thing they were doing in the first season which made many of the performances hard to watchThat said, where S2 really shines is with the characters. I came to love Kai (MC) and even though Amamiya (his rival) was annoying most of the time, his redemption arc was very ...

Mixed Feelings
This is based on second half of one of the greatest manga ever written. They left a lot of the story out because they only had 24 episodes total, and while that included some of my favorite parts the heart of the story is all present.

Let's just get this part out of the way. The animation sucks. All the CGI from the first season is gone and everything has been replaced with stills for the most part. They show motion by overlaying some moving bubble layer on top of the audience and pianist whenever music is being played, and by panning over still pictures. ...
