Monophonic remix of an animé theme

I got around to writing this down a couple days ago.

It's a "monophonic" (and rather free) remix/arrangement of an opening theme.

"Monophonic" in that it's (theoretically) possible to play this (with a few tiny changes) on an instrument that can only sound one note at a time, such as a flute, or one's voice. Well, turns out that the range of this arrangement is far too wide for any typical instrument to handle easily, so I ended up just scoring it for piano. Which is how I'd play it anyway, since I play the piano. (I actually had the sound of a cello in mind when writing this, hence the double-stops.)

Can you recognize the song it's based on?

I'll post the sheet music for it once someone guesses it.

While listening to it, there was only one point in which I thought I recognized the tune. But I just couldn't place my finger on what anime I heard it from.

I'm probably gonna start watching anime openings on Youtube until I remember where I heard this tune from. XD

Well, it's pretty much just the chord progression of the song, from the point the voice comes in (not the intro before it) to the end of the refrain, as used in the OP short version.

Your guess at recognizing the tune might very well be correct, since there are some bits of melody in there that I included because I thought it sounded nice. I wasn't really expecting to make this a puzzle when I first came up with it, to be honest.

If you want you can record your thoughts and maybe sing something you recognize, using a site like Vocaroo, and I can tell you if you're on the right track.
