Orphan is really pleased to present the first English-subtitled version of the 1994 anime movie *Hoshizora no Violin* (*Starry Sky Violin*). Based on a children's story by Wada Noboru, it recounts the story of Ozawa Kikuji, a boy from rural Japan, whose passion for making violins is ignited young.

Despite setbacks and family opposition, Kikuji persists, inspired by a book about Antonio Stradivari, the renowned Italian luthier.

However, he experiences devastating personal losses during World War II. Can he find his inspiration again?

@RyzakiT The encoder said, paraphrasing Blaise Pascal, "I have made this encode larger than usual because I lack the time to make it smaller." Maybe someday there will be revised, smaller encode, but don't hold your breath.
