Hi, everyone! I took a bit of piano lessons a few decades ago. It’s Mafuyu from Goods Republic!

Do you usually play any musical instruments? Music is very familiar to us, but when it comes to playing it, we realize once again how difficult it is.

An anime depicting the difficulties and splendor of music is currently airing as a spring 2023 anime! I personally think that this is a work that deserves to be made into an anime, and that the anime adaptation has made it even easier to convey the charm of the manga.

It was animated as it was meant to be animated!
Youth x Ochestra! Blue Orchestra goes on the air!

The first episode of this anime is already airing! I would like to explain about Blue Orchestra, which has become even more appealing and easier to understand now that it has been made into an anime!

●Aono Hajime, the protagonist of the story, is a boy who “loved” to play.

Aono Hajime, the protagonist of the story, is a boy who was once renowned as a violin prodigy. Influenced by his father, a great violinist, he started playing at an early age. However,

His father, whom he adored, was having an illicit affair. Hajime's mother, as well as the public, was greatly hurt, and afterwards, the family and his father became estranged. Disappointed with his father, Hajime turned away from playing the violin, his father's symbol.

Hajime was dull in everything he did, both athletically and academically. And the scandal of his father, a famous violinist, made his classmates pay more attention to him than necessary. Whenever his classmates treated him kindly, Hajime was reminded of his father's scandals, and he began to think about going to a high school somewhere far away.

One day, Hajime hears the extremely poor sound of a violin in the nurse's office. It was Akine Ritsuko-Chand from the next class. She was a beginner, but interested in playing the violin.

This encounter with Ritsuko-Chan led Hajime back to violin playing, which had kept him away from it for a long time......

The anime version of Ao no Orchestra (Blue Orchestra) has increased its attractiveness several times more!

The story is like this, but I think that the charm of Ao no Orchestra (Blue Orchestra) was conveyed even more by being made into an anime! This is, of course, because of the sound in the performance scenes! This is the biggest thing of all!

For example, here is a scene where Hajime used to perform in front of a large audience. In the manga version, the scene is depicted as follows. The serious expressions on the audience's faces and Hajime's expression of accomplishment are very impressive.

In the anime version, the same scene was depicted like this!

I think that the sound and movement really help us to understand how amazing Hajime's performance was! When I read the manga, I couldn't imagine what the performance was like, but now that it has been animated, I can more concretely understand what the scene is like!

Sound is added to other scenes to make them easier to understand!

In future stories, Hajime's rival will appear! Don't miss their violin playing and confrontation!

At this point, a full-fledged performance has already been visualized, but as the story progresses, Hajime's rival, Saeki Nao, will appear and add even more aspects to the performance. It seems that he is more than just a rival to Hajime.
