The Blue Orchestra anime adaptation previously announced plans to premiere in April, and now that date has been narrowed down. According to the official accounts, the series is officially set to debut on TV in Japan on April 9 at 5:00pm Japan Time.
The Blue Orchestra anime has Seiiji Kishi (Assassination Classroom) directing, with Yuko Kakihara (Chihayafuru) on series composition and Kazuaki Morita handling character designs for the Nippon Animation production.
The manga Ao no Orchestra is written by Makoto Akui, and started up back in 2017. Akui is also known for the manga adaptation of the anime film Anthem of the Heart.
Here’s how Elex Media describes the manga:
In the fall of his third and final year of middle school, Hajime Aono, a violin prodigy, stopped playing violin for his own personal reasons. But it was also that year when he got to know a girl who told him about a high school with a prestigious school orchestra. Suddenly, the gears in the clock of Aono’s life began to turn again. This is the story of a youth drama that brings forth the harmony between music and the heart!
