Mashiro no Oto Announces April 2021 Release, Updates

The music genre has some great anime titles like Nana, Your Lie in April, K-On! and Detroit Metal City. All of these have taken unique approaches to this genre and presented us with good music, hilarious stories, and touching moments.

The combination of music and anime has always proved heartwarming, and it elevates the usual anime experience. It won’t be a lie to admit that a melancholic background score has often brought tears to our eyes.

Reports had hit the internet on August 2, hinting an anime adaptation for Mashiro no Oto by Studio Shin-Ei Animation in 2021.
