Music is a type of communication that is dynamic

Story - Straightforward premise of a conductor father who has some family mending to do after 5 years. In Japan, the people around him and how they influence one another is written out in a wonderful way. There are portions of inspiration that I think will live on with me.

Cast - A very strong cast of many characters. Everyone has their own motivations that we are able to find out about as the story progresses. Nishijima Hidetoshi, Ashida Mana, and Touma Ami are stand outs, especially in the latter half of the series. I'm a sucker for talented acting and musical skill, so when combined the effect really enhances the emotions.

Music - What can you say about music for a music based show? The descriptions of the music and passion behind it are well laid out to us viewers. Even for those who may not understand a lot, like myself, there is a beginner who is learning right along side us.

Rewatch Value - There are definitely stand out scenes that I will not forget anytime soon. I've already gone back to them! However, I rated this section a bit lower because my personal taste for rewatching is finding out more about things I may have missed, which is not a knock against the show because everything is laid out in a straightforward way.

Music is a way of communication. It can be used positively and negatively. Sayonara Maestro: Chichi to Watashi no Appassionato shows both sides, but wants to leave us with the positive impact it can have. The characters are able to use this to mend issues and grow. By the end I found myself very emotionally attached to the characters.
