Your Lie in April
| I enjoyed the music and visuals, but most people will say the main point of it was the drama and dynamics between the main characters. I didn't particularly like the majority characters so the dramatic scenes didn't have much of an impact on me. |
| Dropped it on episode 1 because every single character was irritating and terrible. The show contradicted itself thematically, remarkably within the span of the first few scenes (hint: that's not a good fucking sign). The comedy was brazenly unfunny, if not sickeningly mean spirited and uncomfortable. And I got the sense that the use of classical music was just there as pretentious window dressings to make itself seem more legitimate and not just a standard poorly thought out mess slapped together to sell anime girl figurines. Like playing Chopin over a scene somehow elevated it into some sort of higher art that was more dramatic and heartfelt because pretty piano. The whole show makes me think of a little girl wearing her mother's high heels and drinking grape juice out of a wine glass because she wants to feel all growed up. But then spilling it on herself and ruining the dress because she's too clumsy in the shoes and doesn't have any real respect for the clothing. |
 |
| I dropped it after a few minutes but I'm thinking of giving it another chance since I've heard so many good things about it. |
| Help the industry and buy Blu-rays and DVD's. Noragami is the best anime ever.  |
| Pros: -Animation -Music Cons -Shitty story/plot -shitty characters with 0 character development -main character is a cuck. -romance was GARBAGE The fact that I watched the train wreck that is Clannad and Clannad AS. I didn't think I could do worse. The first season of clannad was ass, gave it a 4. AS was much better even had me tear up a few times(gave it a 6), but the ending was absolutely terrible. The fact that this show did everything Clannad did wrong, but WORSE is unbelievable to me. Only Eureka 7 was more of a let down for me, and even though I consider that the worst anime I have watched. There are still more memorable moments (probably because it is a failed clone of NGE and Gundam) Looking back, the only redeeming quality of this show was the music, and that is a shit argument to consider this good because we do not watch anime for the music. |
| It was a good show for sure. Allthough this is probably the first time I think a show doesnt deserve such a high rating ... in my opinion. All fair to the people that loved it death (no pun intended) but the pacing was slow, jokes were ill timed and a few other things. Already said my words on the final episode discussion. Still rated it an 8/10 because I do think it's a good show, Kaori's reasoning behind what she did was a highlight of the show. |
 |
| boring, disgusting melodrama, annoying characters, abysmal comedy, predictable story... this is the new clannad? seriously, comparing this to clannad is offensive! clannad has a heart, clannad has a story to tell. this is pure autism. |
| I don't really like the comedy aspects and the shitty art during those moments that are supposed to be for comedic effect. I also don't like how much I keep thinking of Ao no Exorcist the whole time because the main guy is vaguely similar in appearance to Rin. The lip shadows are really fucking distracting too, these aren't full lipped back people here and the light doesn't really case THAT MUCH of a shadow. tldr Typical A1 try hard visuals I do enjoy romance anime though, so Im hoping there will be some redeeming qualities - probably should mention I have only seen 2 episodes |
 |
| Its at #14 top rated anime so the score speaks for itself, some people hate it but its just the minority |
| I'm the type of guy that watches the high octane action animes, not so much into the slice of life or romance genre. However, after watching the PV, I thought this was going to be a lighthearted show with amazing music and visuals that will entertainment me for a while. I guess I was partially right. After realizing the fate of Kaori and the meaning of the title mid way through the season, my heart strings were tugged and my tears were shed every episode (I felt embarrassed) waiting for inevitable tragedy. In the end, I still wasn't able to hold back my tears. This time, they weren't tears of sorrow or sadness, but tears of joy. After watching this show, I have found a new prospective on life while also realizing how fragile and beautiful life and relationships truly are. From the bottom of my heart, I can feel its impact on my life and the actions I make. That is why this will be one of the animes I'll hold close to my heart until the day I die. |
| I see the harshest criticism of this show often comes from people still in their mid to early teens. |
 |
| It's such a beautiful show. I loved it from start to finish. |
 |
| Well... Shigatsu has really great pluses, but has some really bad minuses in my opinion. If I have to mention issues I have with the show, I don't like how it often mood-swings. It often went from melodramatic to comedic in a few seconds, thus ruining any chance for me to 'feel' the tension going on. The comedy is poorly handled as well. The characters aside from Kousei and Kaori don't pique my interest much and Tsubaki even annoyed me at some point. And I just felt that they don't act like their age... On the bright side however, I genuinely love the graphics and classical music (I'm a huge sucker for this type of music). Also, they put a lot of effort into developing Kousei (who is arguably the most developed character out of the cast), plus the last two episodes ripped my heart out and made me cry like a baby, and made me like Kaori more than ever. 7/10 for me, I guess. |

| Your lie in april is literally trash. Why do people think your lie in april is good? Here are some things that makes it trash 1: the romance is too forced 2: no likeable characters 3: its boring af 4: it just keeps getting more annoying to watch each ep |
The word elitist is stupid since it's just used by people who can't defend their favorite shows and use it on people who criticize their favorite shows.  |

| Regurgitated from another thread... OppaiSugoi said: I'm pretty much going to drop this one. Damn Kaori and company keep toying with Kousei and his phobia of the piano. Seriously they are very insensitive of his feelings that would drive someone to suicide. I had this on a long hiatus on ep11, got around to rewatching it again from the beginning, and now triggered by dumbshits having a laugh on Kousei basically to where I'm now again having this on hold at ep11 since I can't stand this shit anymore. Kousei's liking for Kaori should've never happened. Basically Fuck this Shit. OppaiSugoi said: In the end, after putting it on hold AGAIN, I've decided to drop this. Shit writing for shit characterization. |

| My opinion may not matter anymore because of how old this thread is, but here I go. Just finished it and it is honestly the best anime I have ever seen. Although I have started watching anime recently, it has currently become my personal favorite. Like what many other people have said, the negative opinions are just a small minority of people who hate it (or are trolls lol). Anyways, I am a musician myself and I am a sucker for stories about violinists, pianists, or about any musician you can think of. After watching the series, it has honestly given me an answer on why many people like myself play instruments. I really did like the characters in this show, and I can relate to most of them. Plus, the chemistries between character was really cool to watch throughout the entire series. To be fair, I do feel like some of them got underdeveloped, had questionable decisions, and other small nitpicks, but I still liked them at the end. Overall, I think you should give it a try. The characters are pretty likable, the plot is one of my favorites, it is a 10/10 in my book. Like what I said before, do not let a small minority of negative opinions prevent you from watching anything. If you like it, you like it. If not, so be it. |

I am sick and tired of seeing so many people praise Your Lie in April and not noticing the very offensive problem with how this anime treats depression/abuse/mental illness and its recovery process. Please read this set of comments for an explanation on why (everyone else who loves this show should read this, too): https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1364128#msg38819030 There is very good reason to dislike this show, and this should probably be the biggest factor. Not the cringey dialogue, not the constant monologues that interrupt and distract from the music performances (which breaks the "show, don't tell" idea), not the lack of individual characterization for most of the side characters (a lot of those characters revolve *too much* around Kousei in some way). All of these things are important flaws, of course, but still nothing compared to the anime outright being offensive and harmful in its messages about recovering from depression, abuse, and trauma. Apparently the vast majority of people weren't able to notice this problem. |

| "Beyond the veil of cherry blossom petals blown by the wind - almost like their promised reunion - Feelings pile up with the passage of time: once the torrent of emotions comes rushing down, what is the spectacle that awaits?" |
| I dropped this show at around episode 10 when it became clear as water that I could read this show like a book and it annoyed me. Sure enough when I came back and checked after the show had finished ariring I was right about most things. |
