| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Welp, and that was his final piano play this series (unless OVA shows something more). Nice played Kousei. As for the letter, it's was pretty touching. And also it revealed the series's reason for the 'Your Lie in April' (heh, even though the show aired in March). Sad about Kaori though. The letter obviously implies that she died ;_; Overall, a good show that was fully adapted since the manga also concluded. Was kinda disappointed about Watari not getting enough characterization compared to some of the others though. But still quite entertaining overall. |

Chelizzle said: Adaptation wise it was good overall,but I'm not a fan of that ending.I wonder what'll be shown in the ova? I guess maybe something original most likely. |

| More feelings while playing. Then two of them playing together in the space he created. As if he knows, she's gone. In the letter, she saw him when she was 5 and like him. She lived freely, knowing that she lives short. She lied about liking childhood guy, as expected. ED1 as IN. Childhood girl is still willing to be with him. Ok, Cannot wait for the Special. |

| Too little too late. Though, I always knew that Kousei was a pedophile.  |

| I already glanced the manga, but it hurts even more watching the episode itself. For once, it's really sad that Kaori's surgery didn't work out which met her fate. It's probably around the time during Kousei's performance when she appeared near him playing the violin along with him with the piano. Once she disappeared, poof, it's all over. Rest in peace, Kaori, you funny girl. Of course, the "lie" is finally exposed. I don't know why she would just introduce herself to him but yet again their first meet was spectacular and beautiful in the first episode. Through the start till end, I love how Kousei has grown more maturely within his music and perhaps his character, all thanks to Kaori, who then says in the letter that she loves him. Ah, here goes the faded romance. Overall, it was really a nice story. It may have some problems such as comedy being too forced and Watari not having enough airtime. I definitely love the animation and the music is eargasm, yo. The adaptation from its manga is really well-done as well. At least all (or most) of the important bits are in the anime, which is great! |
| Fuuuuuuuck, i saw the last 5 mins of the episode. Fuck me, too sad to handle. |
| 7/10 |
 |
| This show is overrated. It tried doing too much and didn't have a clear identity. Was it trying to be a romance or was it more about the music? First half was great because it solely focused on the feeling of playing music and the enjoyment it brought. Then it became a melodramatic love triangle romance of middle schoolers who acted like adults. It was weird and off putting. The ending was predictable and decent at best. This show is a 7/10 and I hope people change their scores because currently its score is overinflated. |
| So much for that "miracle" lol I guess the alternate ending that some of us assumed would have happened today will happen in the OVA Anyway, personally I didn't want Kaori to die but regardless the ending was still beautiful Overall the characters in this series were great, the drama and feels were on point and the music was beyond amazing but it still has its problems 8/10 RIP Best Girl |
| I need to go do some manly shit right now. Great story and the music was amazing. 8/10 |
| Eh |
| I can't help but feel this show gets its praise more for the kind of show it is (hardcore KEY style melodrama) and the look of it more than anything to do with execution. At the end of the day we get our "profound" meaning and sob story ending as could have been predicted episodes ago where the story probably could have ended, but my lack of empathy for or lasting interest in the cast leaves it feeling oh so hollow and I felt this way with the manga too. They just aren't particularly likeable for the most part and I can't help but feel that it shifted gears from a decent personal story about a troubled musician to romantic melodrama to the detriment of its potential. In any case as they say its all over but the crying for those that get really emotional over this sort of stuff. |
| What a beautiful ending. |

| Eh |
| KAO-Chan!!!!!!!!! Osananajimi has a chance now. I'll be rooting for Tsubaki now that Kao-chan is gone. That was heart breaking for me to watch. Damn, I at least want to hear Kousei confess to Kaori but not gonna happen now. |
| Easily anime of the year for me. The tears, the emotions, the power of the performance. And that letter, so heartbreaking. She loved him all along. Practically was her driving force in life besides being remembered. Kousei has suffered so much, I really feel sorry for that kid. Tsubaki is there to cheer him up, but really it makes the whole thing worse. Yet despite her death, spring still has to come. The spring in which she is not there will always come because time doesn't stop. It's a motif that this anime has been playing on for it's entire run. Time is always flowing whether we want it to or not. Truly an anime to remember. |
 |
| Seriously, end of animes are the best. But I can't believe they pass the time when she dies, it would have been a great scene of drama... As you would expect from a shonen, but it was very good, 8/10. |
 |
| Ending is beautiful, but a bit over done which makes it look kinda cliche. And for that 9/10 |

| That was the saddest letter Ive ever read. I'm gonna go try not to cry now. |

| From the beginning it was obvious this was going to happen. Still, couldn't avoid some tears. Really liked the visuals and the ost, but some other parts were terrible. Like how they were abusing Arima (Tsubaki kicking him while he was sad. Way to ruin the mood), not deciding if his mother was a good person or just abusing him, and that stupid love triangle. And, many may hate this, but I really didn't like Miyazono's personality, or Tsubaki's. The male friend was also forgettable. 7/10 in my books |

| Emotional finale... Well, I only teared up when the acoustic ED song started playing along with pictures of Kaori being shown. This simply was just fantastic. I'm glad I watched this till the end. Thank you. |
| God, what a sad yet beatiful ending, perfect! One of my favorite anime ever |

| Final Thoughts of KimiUso: You can polish poop all you want to make it shine, it's still poop at the end of the day You're better off watching White Album 2 |
| the feels are real |
| Reaction to the Last Episode: Damn the feels I had when I'm watching this was so depressing I can't explain why I had a bit teary, I really can't understand. I just hope that Kosei had the courage to tell Kaori he loves her. Also the same with Kaori but at least she express it how she loves Arima Kousei. But It's just, They didn't had much good times with each other with knowing that they liked/loved each other. As I expected the Anime Version would be 2 times more painful to watch. I'm so crushed... I'll rate this Anime Adaptation a 9 score (or maybe I'll give it a 10?). Also I wonder what would be the story of the OVA? I wish it will fill up the manga had left because for me it's still unfinished. I want more! |

| 8/10, maybe 9/10 for that like it ended. But no, 8/10 will be enough. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Predictable ending it may be and it does have some missed opportunities, but I don't really care it was one beautiful anime 10/10. Also now I'm sad :( |
| Beautiful :*) Kousei's performance was beautiful esp after he realized that her coming to play with him means she's dead ;_; DAMN the shifts in tone he made throughout the performance were insanely GOAT!! I wanted the friggin audience reactions to his epic performance though D: So Kousei also inspired Kaori too :O She friggin decided to become a violinist just to play with him?! DAMN O_o! The letter reading part was so damn FEELZ inducing T^T Kaori's smile is just too heavenly :*) 9/10 for me :3 |

| The feeelllsssssss 100/10 |
 |
| I cried... I cried so much... even if the ending was really beautiful.. (╥﹏╥) |
   |
| Well it was a bit disappointing that it ended that way, I was hoping for a more straight forward transition into what his life and future choices were since they killed off ole Blondie. 6/10 Beautiful artwork and great music (8 year pianist) so I m a bit biased 9/10 Bland story and horrible ending 4/10 |

| The pain is real. |
| Well, a decent ending. Tsubaki was the better girl of course but I knew it's not gonna happen. It least it wasn't some bullshit romance based on a few hours spent together like it happens in some anime. The performance in the first half of the episode was excellent. I liked the first half of this anime much more. It didn't have any plot, just random shit with music performances. Then the whole drama began. It was obvious Kaori's gonna die and yet they prolonged it till the last episode. Ehh. The comedic moments were very poor and the cast overall average at best. Visuals were great, sasuga A1. And the OST, damn that OST. Downloaded it already. 5/10, gotta watch Nodame soon |
| 10/10 Never have i had this much feels when watching anime. |
| Hate Keeps me warm |
