I'm not a big fan of anime talking about music (apart from Bocchi The Rock). I never thought that '' Kono Oto Tomare '' would prove me wrong. I was able to discover a new instrument and the ost are fabulous especially "Tenkyuu" which is sublime. The characters are endearing and have their own story that influences the way they play and their feelings about the koto. There is humor and more serious moments, and we can, according to our own experience, identify with a character, which intensifies my interest in this work. I can only recommend seeing this anime can't wait to see a third season.
