Japanese television has a knack for doing more with less, and Kono Oto Tomare!: Sounds of Life is a prime example. It's currently available in Australia on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel, and in the US on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel, so there's no reason to keep putting it off. A 7/10 rating means the audience agrees.
Japanese production values give Kono Oto Tomare!: Sounds of Life a feel distinct from American and international alternatives. Since the graduation of the senior members of the club, Takezou ends up being the sole member of the "Koto" (traditional Japanese string instrument) club. Now that the new school year has begun, Takezou will have to seek out new members into the club, or the club will become terminated. Out of nowhere, a new member barges into the near-abandoned club room, demanding to join the club. Yuma Uchida and Junya Enoki lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 2019.
Genuinely enjoyable for a wide range of viewers. The animation is the delivery mechanism — the storytelling is what matters.
