Piano playing on the Ark: Amazing.

animegoil.livejournal.comThis is the most ridiculous tidbit that I'll ever discuss here, but it made me that happy.
The piano-playing in episode 93.... was beautiful. But you know why? Because if you look at Allen's hands he's actually playing the song. You have no idea how many animes have someone playing the piano, but their hands don't actually match the song. It's predone, or used for multiple piano-playing scenes, and just... the body movements won't fit, the melody will be in the lower registers, but the person is playing up high on the keys. Sometimes there's even that still shot, where it's just a frozen image of them in this piano pose with the song in the background. It made me ridiculously happy to see that Allen was playing, if not the actual notes of the song, something that looked pretty close to it, both treble and bass.
This deserves much, much love. It may be because they only have one piano scene to worry about, but the detail they paid to his hand motions is incredible, and I daresay unheard of. I mean, does even Nodame Cantabile, which I know is a music-centered anime, actually bother to accurately mimic the hand movements of the music the characters are supposedly playing?
