#22 Tsuritama

A boy moves to a small island to live with his grandmother in hopes of a fresh start. He soon meets an alien from a faraway planet who requests his help in catching a creature that is residing in the nearby waters.

Side Character Sunday Sachiko Yagami

Sachiko Yagami is Light Yagami's mother. She is one of the few characters in the show that is never aware of Light's use of the Death Note. The author of Death Note is known for referring to her as one of the purest characters in the show.

#21 Your Lie in April

A once prodigious pianist lost his ability to hear himself play after the loss of his mother.  However, after meeting a passionate violinist his world starts to slowly come to life again. With her help, he slowly rediscovers what it means to live life fully and play music with love.

Your Lie in April is a lovely anime that can really hit home. Although the music was ultimately beautiful, the scenes of playing piano/violin went on a little long sometimes. But in the end it was a heartfelt show that solidly earns its 9/10 from me.
