Kin'iro no Corda: Primo Passo Anime
Synopsis
Kahoko Hino is a student at Seiso Academy, one with an ordinary life. One day, Lili - the mischievous musical fairy who had blessed the original founder of the school - finds Kahoko running late to class.Delighted that she is able to see him, Lilli grants Kahoko a magical violin, and a place in the school's annual musical competition, which many students in the music department vie to partake in.Kahoko refuses, only to be pressed on by the fairy, who constantly nags her until she finally gives way to his pleads. She reluctantly accepts the instrument. As she practices her pieces, Kahoko is amazed that she can play any piece on the violin as long as she knows the tune and plays it with her heart.
'La Corda d'oro' literally translates to 'the rope of gold', but it is taken into consideration as 'the golden string'. Primo Passo means 'first step', while Secondo Passo means 'second step'.
what Leanne got to say:
i was quite appalled when i finished the anime and guilty to admit that i left the DVD inside my drawer for about 2 months after borrowing it from my friend. So appalled that i couldn’t believe that i could bare to leave it @ all. After some research, i was quite a little disappointed to say that it originated from a game, something that i didn’t expect from such a nice story. I have to be very honest here, I couldn’t remember all the characters names’ even after watching all the 26 episodes.What i am fit to say is that the pieces of music chosen in this anime was great for such an inspirational anime like this. The story structure as well organised and what i liked was the even focus of all the characters and not only on the protagonist,Hino. I seriously look forward to the second season and still depressed on the fact that it has only 2 episodes. Looking forward to other series as inspirational as this. AND OF COURSE MORE EPOSIDES!!!!
