Anime Relations: Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso
because im swooning over czxcjx's reviews, i found this wonderful piece from one of the posted notes.

Before one can delve into a dream, one must earn the right to it. Dreams aren’t born of simple substances, but, as Freud theorized, are embellished cruelties, embellished torments given a riddle form in the medium of the dream. To have a dream of nostalgia, of beauty, and of the simple stirrings of love, is to have in one’s heart a heavy longing caused by repressed torment, that can only be released by painting it over with such a pure vision of love that one is bound to ooooh and aaaawww at it.

Beauty is beauty but Beauty is only validated by having cruelty to bring it to light. No easy cruelty is the way that the writer has to live by. By choosing to write he’s already dealing with a cruel subject. Art is born out of an instinct to assassinate the material world, and to raise the soul as pillar upon which all is to stand. The dirty unclean soul manifest in all our bodies. This radiant blemished beast.

In order to write, one cannot dance around in pure dreams. One must drag down cruelty into form. To simultaneously aim at killing the world, in all its entirety, by being one’s own Demiurge, while simultaneously telling the truth; to spin the lie that tells the truth. That’s the lie stronger than the lie told in April.


here is part of the review from juungi for the anime

Your Lie in April fashions itself to be a stand-out romance series that reminds us that while some relationships may be transient and brief, some people will come into our lives at just the right time for just long enough to touch us in a way we never thought possible.
