「一歩前へ」 (Ichi ho mae e)
"A Step Forward"

Kono Oto Tomare is definitely one of those series where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

(Kuon/i>)
"Kuon"

Kono Oto Tomare is a sort of paean to anti-cynicism, a monument of emotional transparency in a medium where those things are increasingly out of fashion.

(Raibaru)
"Rivals"

Don't say I didn't warn you.

(Sagashi teta oto)
"The Sound I Was Searching For"

If you don't like backstories, Kono Oto Tomare may not be your jam.

(Chikakute tooi kyori)
"Obcure Distances"

The virtues here are pretty simple sincerity, authenticity, a sense of respect for every character in the cast as an individual.

(Tsukisasaru gen no oto)
"A Piercing Sound"

I think in the real world there are more people like Takezou than there are like Chika.

(Michi shiru be)
"Guide for an Unknown Path ~Guidepost~"

This isnt the sort of series thats going to have a lot of breather episodes.

(Shira rezaru oto no ha)
"Unknown Sounds"

It's pretty rare that you see an anime episode so neatly split down the middle.

(Mienai kyoukai-sen)
"An Invisible Boundary"

This being Kono Oto Tomare, the phrase "never a dull moment" is one that's going to get a lot of use.
