| Amazing production, music and animations really made it worth watching. I disliked the plot got lost in the crossroads and didn't know where to go. This hurt the anime leaving me with cliche feelings and a less of an inpact in my memory. Despite this i loves the music and animations and the inital plota path, i gave it a solid 8 |

| I'm so glad that i saw this anime, when he was reading her letter i was crying so hard, it was such painful for him to read this i literally couldn't stop crying. It will be first spring without Kaori for Kousei and his friends. Best anime for me, first anime that made me cry so hard. |

| I don't have any big problems with the characters, although I don't like love triangles, people who don't realize they're in love with someone until it's way too late and especially girls being unfair to guys. The worst part for me, was Kaori's death, because I expected a miracle or some sort of happy ending. I didn't even realize she was dead until the letter was being read, I just kept thinking "What?? What's going on?". It was a good anime and I was kind of hooked but I wish it were a happy ending. I hate hate hate sad endings. |

| I'm broken. I don't think I'll ever be whole again. This anime just killed me in the most beautiful way. I won't ever be able to get over this. |

| That was a good anime. Though I've never been interested in classical music, it was really enthralling to watch all those guys playing piano and Kaori playing the violin. I'm really sad about how it ended though. Poor Kaori-chan ;( And I feel so sorry for Kousei. To lose a girl he loved and learn that she loved him too only after she died? Geez, I don't know how would I cope with it... Anyway, that Kaori that showed up and started playing the violin during Arima's performance, was it just his imagination or a ghost? |

| Great show. I love a sad yet beautiful story. Wasn't expecting the letter, great to see some of Kaori's back story in the last ep. So sad that they never told each other how they felt face to face and no kiss :( He should have confessed his feelings darn it. Poor kid has been through a lot. He'll probably go on to do great things in the piano world after all which is great. I wonder if Kousei would end up with Tsubaki in the future. Not sure how I feel about that. I went in to this expecting a romantic drama focused around beautiful music. The whole Kaori being sick and dying really gave the show an extra element. Good use of comedy, some may say over done but I thought it was fine. Wonderful art and exquisite soundtrack. Lots of great quotes too! I found it refreshing and quite beautiful 9/10. |
| Although the letter gives us the reason behind the title (which I've been wondering for a while now) I still was disappointed by the revelation of the "lie". I liked it better when it seemed Kao was at least ambivalent about Watari and Kousei, it made the show a little bit more complex and real. Still a very good ending though. |
| Pretty good ending, although it was predictable and stuff. Why am I the only one not crying? Please don't tell me I'm heartless. I loved the letter though, it's really touching. 7/10. |

Freedom222 said: You're heartless Why only 7/10 It was so beautyful story , i watch this last year still cant move on of this story And rewatch it every months It is a beautiful anime, but it had flaws, like how the comedy felt too forced, and how they focused on side characters in some episodes and ignoring them afterwards. I can give you more reasons, if you want. It wasn't horrible, but it doesn't deserve a 10/10 imho. I don't know why you're so bothered by this. It's a 7/10 for me, but it's a 10/10 for you. It all depends on how the person sees the anime :) |

| This series was fantastic. Beautiful to watch. Everything they did do was extremely well done in this finale. But there were a couple of easily avoidable things that prevented it from touching me as much as it could have. First, they failed to deliver in her final moments. Her vanishing in Kousei's mind doesn't ensure the viewer that she has passed away in any way whatsoever. The idea would have been a touch of genius as long as there was no room for asking yourself whether or not she actually died. It's not uncommon for character's to survive when the shows waits until the last minute to make his/her death unquestionable, so it's not a matter of overthinking. Failing to make that clear when your goal is to touch people about a character's death is a huge deal for those who won't buy into it right away. They could have shown the moment she dies during the song (maybe before she begins to vanish) or at the very least implied that by showing her vitals clearly take a turn for the worse before she vanishes altogether. But instead of making it clear during the climax, the confirmation only comes afterwards in a brief cemetery scene, which isn't powerful at all. The other decision I wasn't a big fan of is the confession after death. The execution with the letter was beautiful (confession included), but they really should have had a special moment together before she died. The show could have revealed her secrets on that letter, no problem... but then showed a face-to-face confession from the night before... that kind of scene should have actually taken place while she was still alive. Aside from that, the songs were a bit too long at times in the series imo, but I can easily overlook that. I just find it kind of painful that I wasn't giving a proper moment to mourn her death because of small issues like that. As well as not having been ever shown them share their feelings while they still could have, even if just once. It hurts. (I really thought this was going to be one of my few 10s, but oh well t.t) |

| in my opinion the entire series was excessively melodramatic and had many flaws, i don't get all the hype about it at all. but the ending was okay - i felt that it was a suitable way to end the show. |
 |
| I find it fitting how I watched this series mostly throughout the month of April <3 and I surprisingly didn't do more than just slightly tear up the rest of the series but this last episode ALL THE FEELS ARE FLOWING IM CRYINGN THIS WAS ACTUALLY A GREAT ENDING RIP KAORI T_T ♥ |
AnonymousVyrz said: I didn't cry. But this anime did something to me, afterwards for at least a week I had an empty feeling of sadness. This is the first anime to really touch me. 10/10 Would recommend. It did not make me cry either. By the way, I recommend you also see Anohana. |
| No, no, no... You can't just simply go and end a series in such a deeply heartbreaking way. I didn't find the series "melodramatic" at all. I found it very real, because... some details of it ring a little too true to the realities I have experienced/am experiencing. |
 |
| Rewatched it. No regrets. These little moments of happiness satisfy me. |
 |
| Okay so some weeaboos try to learn Japanese from anime me, an intellectual: I'm trying to learn piano from this lmao No but seriously, I may be very many years late (considering this mans started when he was still in diapers) but I really want to play the piano now. I started watching this show as a meme because someone I know watches it and I thought it was silly. I told myself I'd never watch slice of life anime because I thought it was stupid, but hell I actually loved this. Sure, it has some flaws like that first OP... weird shit, and the fact that they're supposed to be 14 yet every character has intense monologues every 3 seconds. I think they were actually meant to be older but they said they were 14 to excite some of the weirdos who watch this show. Just kidding, this show was actually a lot better than I expected and I don't regret watching it. I went from wanting to watch it to roast someone I know who gave it a 10 to giving it a good rating myself. |
| I see what the name of this anime meant now. It was the lie that was told by Koari. |

| It's not that I burst out of tears in this episode or the one before as everyone mention. I cried already at how moving and uplifting this anime is specially the first arc and the following very few episodes then it lagged a bit but awakened again at the end. The Romance here is so unique and without a single cliche. Till now I'm trying to convince myself that Kaori didn't die. Although the end is happy but still leaves you empty inside. Still it can't be any better ending. Very solid anime! |

| kaori will always and shall be remembered until the end of my days and onward this anime was spectacular to the highest degree emotions dancing from left and right definitely glad i chose to watch it much love |
| Am I the only one who wished Kaori hadnt known Arima as a child? I mean, it feels like literally everyone in the show met Arima as a kid and was influenced by him. By the time Kaori told her backstory, I felt it was so played out. I kind of wish Kaori had just been inspired on her own, by you know, her terminal illness or something. |
| 9/10 ......     ...... |
| I started this anime a year ago with my friends but never got round to finishing it with them... now I understand why; the universe was trying to stop me from breaking down in front of them. That was sad, and a tissue has now gone to waste thanks to it. I'm glad Kousei finally got his "I love you", but I wish it wasn't so bittersweet. I guess that adds to the whole impact of Kaori's death, and was a damn good pull on the heartstrings. Still, this anime had beautiful art, good plot and an emotional end; 9/10. |
 |
| Overall it was great but the ending was just a bit too predictable to hit me as hard as it should have or how it was presented. It was clear what they was going to do with the character of Kaori. Its bittersweet and ethereal which is the point in a medium like anime but the just layed it on too thick each time she was on screen. I felt she spoke to Arima in a way that was just a bit too much out there. As if she knew she was fixing him step by step and setting up elaborate scenarios to grow him as a person in. She really became this sightseer into the future rather then a girl going through such a terrible experience. I wont go as far as to say shes a bad character but I would have like to have seen her receive more from Arima as a person rather then just being happy everytime he took a step forward. She just seemed far more like a tool for Arimas development then an honest character. Despite this it still manages to be a stunner, thats just my nitpicky review if anyone asked if I would recommend this I would in a heartbeat. |
