Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso is like even more heartbreaking version of Plastic Memories. They're both cute but tragic love stories.
If you strip Plastic Memories of its *cough,pointless,cough* sci-fi setting, it basically tells a lighter, shorter version of Your Lie in April's story. How a very delicate relationship affects hopes and dreams, and the path you end up choosing for your life. Huge feels for both, and themes explored are similar.
99% chance of crying.

Well, both are feels anime that aired at consecutive airing season about up-and-down emotional relationship between a boy and a girl. If you like "feels" anime, you'll maybe like both of them, though Shigatsu contains more drama compared with Plastic Memories which contains more comedy. Though the main premise is very different, in the end, both of them has a few similarities.
Both of these series are about the main protagonist getting to know whats a true romance like, but also how it feels to be truly sad.

Both are gems to watch. They have wonderful characters, great romance, and very very good ending to both of them. Both also bring out the feels train.

Trying to not spoil any of the shows, both main characters future are basically pre-described and both stories build to it. With Plastic Memories giving it out a bit later.
Similar relationship between the lead characters. The two shows will likely leave a similar mark on the viewer.

- Lovable romance between two characters
- Dramatic Irony
- Two characters work together to overcome personal boundaries
- EMOTIONAL FEELINGS ARE STRONG IN THIS ONE
- Compelling and very interesting universe, but doesn't bring away from the relationship

Both shows work on very emotional basis, if you can connect with the characters that is. Stories are quite different, but with similar outcomes. While Your Lie in April hides its true motive behind the theme of music, Plastic Memories is very in your face with it, which leads to it being more predictable, but also leads to stronger emotional moments in return.

This recommendation contains spoilers. The female MC is being goodbyed. In Shigatsu, the female MC dies while Plastic Memories the female MC lost her memories and later meets the male MC. Emotional anime with tearjerker moments and ending. Good storyline and romance.

If you like this, then you have to, have to, have to love the other series I recommended you ...!
Plastic Memories is a romantic anime with a sadish twist to it just like Your lie in April. Plastic memories is revolved around robots and memories while with Your lie in April its more revolved around music and friendship. My experience with plastic memories is that youll most likely cry in more than one episode which may happen if you have watched Your lie in April. Both of these animes can leave an ever lasting impression on you and they both have beautiful opening and ending songs. Both of these animes are sad though so id say watch at your own risk.
-For you guys that already finished either one of these titles, I can say that the other one is very similar in how the story wraps up, but in it's own special way.
-Certain bits during the series might seem a bit dry and out of place, but both ends on a dazzling note.
-If you have a ticket for the "Feels" train, you might wanna get on quickly and buckle up :')

Both of these are very emotional shows that have comedic moments that completely ruin the flow of the emotion. Both shows have excellent tragedy, but this tragedy is obscured by poorly timed anime comedy troupes.

Both are very heart wrenching stories where you get to know and build a relation with the main characters.The character build up throughout the show was well paced and allowed you to develop the same feelings. Both main girls from the series have something wrong with them but even so the main guy stays. They both have tear jerking endings that make you have the feels.

Plastic Memories and Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso are very similar in the fact that they are very sad and tragic love stories that will hit you in the “feels” and probably leave you in tears.

If you like drama and romance then these are for you. They are both excruciatingly sad and unfortunate events happen. Both shows have extremely well thought out plot and character development. Plastic memories isn't as good as Your Lie in April imo, but definitely still give is a try.
Love is the main topic, both animes have just one season. I'm sure they'll be kept in your heart.

If you have watch Shigatsu wa kimi no uso then you should watch Plastic memories, they don't have that much similarities but I think your gonna like Plastic memories if you love Shigatsu wa kimi no uso, I recommend you watching these anime at the very end since there's some things that are going to happen.
Both anime has a very good sense of romance and the ending is sure to make you cry
Very similar genre in terms of a heartbreaking story. Your Lie in April also has a more developed plot with a female protagonist you can sympathize with similar to Isla.
very similar plotline, but completely different feel, characters, and lore.
