[Orphan] Cello Hiki no Gauche (1998) [480p]

Orphan presents the first English-subtitled release of the 1998 OVA Cello Hiki no Gauche (Gauche the Cellist). This is essentially a highly condensed remake of the famous 1982 Isao Takahara release. It tells the story of Gauche, a struggling cellist in a provincial orchestra. He is visited by four talking animals - a cat, a cuckoo, a tanuki, and a field mouse - on successive nights They help him to improve his playing, just in time for orchestra’s concert performance of Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony. The raw is webrip fromt he now defunct GYAO! service. See this blog entry for more details.




This will not replace the 1982 movie in anyone’s collection, including mine, but it’s a decent way to pass 20 minutes.
