Your Lie in April
| story , music, voice, art and animation is top tier. but the character kinda suck thou. still rate it 7-8/10 range personaly. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| 9/10 It's not just "music" and whatnot. More of a romance drama series. The MC and side characters are fine. |
| Am watching it right now, i cant say i like the characters but its seems there's gonna be some intense romance Art and animation is good though |

ToraDoraTheExplr said: You need 4 episodes to see how intense it'll be.Thanks for the fast replies. I'll give it a shot. What can it hurt? I'll watch the first 1-2 episodes to see if it'll be my thing. Is this on the level of drama like Clannad's 2nd season minus last episode? It's a lot better than how Clannad was handled, imo. No asspulls or wish fulfillment. |
| I don't think that many people watch this for the "music"... The soundtrack, voice actors and artstyle are great imo. I like the MC and Kaori, but I couldn't care less about the other characters. |

| With the four main characters being based on the characters of a certain short novel (said novel was also used on the show, aside from the "Peanuts" comics), the series did quite good on Kousei and Kaori's personality as they compliment one another well enough/successfully (as they imitate said novel's Ryoichi and Naomi), but the split to the said novel's Tetsuya into two in this series (Watari and Tsubaki) is quite problematic because of either the character development is quite unnecessary to the storyline (Tsubaki) or said character never developed at all (Watari). The series also suffered on not wrapping up the side stories focusing on the major side characters (anyone who knows Kousei well). That is what I can say about the series overall.

I'll add Chihayafuru (for similar traits of the main pairings) and Clannad/Clannad: After Story (for feels) |

| Overall it was memorable. The scenes felt strong and emotional when they needed to be, and for the most part it didn't feel forced. The character development for the main character was good. For the rest of the cast, kind of okay? Kousei's rivals and Seto Hiroko were honestly more interesting and likeable than Watari and Tsubaki, shame they didn't get more screen time. Kaori's development also felt lacking, and with the final episode it felt way too forced. The handling of the romance subplot and the handling of the characters is my biggest problem with the series honestly. I'm tired of all this romantic ambiguity in anime with only implicit feelings. Typical underwhelming and lackluster romantic development. If you're going to include romance, at least do it right. Then again they are only 14. The ending wasn't too emotional really, previous scenes in the anime had felt stronger. I did enjoy it significantly though, but it's far from perfect. A more mature approach with characters not in 9th grade would have been nice. 7/10 for me. |

| Shigatsu is one of the 4 nominee for Tokyo Anime Award so it is one of the 4 best anime last year. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| like Kuma said, the music, art, and voice talent was superb but there was just too much Kousei torture porn for me |

| Really good, yet still slightly disappointing. |
| It was disappointing. While it was good, the character interactions left much to be desired. |
Hakbur_Abar said: This manga/anime is planned well all the scene etc since episode 1 are already in the mind of the author its like he already thinking the ending while he still dint starting the 1st chapter like that so it become good in the way its start and till the end. PS: If you already finish and rewatch or reread some episodes/chapters just damn u will get it all in an instance the reasons the conclusions and the feels its too much if u did the rewatch or reread its breaking my heart more than i finish the last ep its hard to go back to my ordinary life now huhuhu If anything a rewatch will make you notice the flaws even more. While the story is planned, it's too forced for the sake of making it "sadder". |

The problem with tearjerker romances is that they often lie in plot convenience. |
| Literally just finished right now. All I got to say is that this anime is beautiful :) |
| I've only watched the first six episodes, but I'm not liking how the author has portrayed Kousei's interactions with his friends thus far. First, they pressure him into performing at Kaori's recital, even though he's clearly mentally traumatized, and then later kick him for screwing it up? I guess I wouldn't have minded it so much had it not been for the fact that those scenes are artistically glorified like the fact that Kousei being a victim of abuse is some insignificant detail. On the bright side, the animation/art is amazing. |

| In all honesty, I didn't like it that much. I can agree that it was entertaining (enough to make me watch the whole series), but I was disappointed with sooo many things. Despite me giving it an 8 out of 10, the melodramatic romance, predictable ending, and characters really were a let down. *Rant about the characters incoming. Skip if you don't really care* *sigh* I really could have liked Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso a lot. I really could. The reason why I'm okay with others wanting to watch this is because people have different opinions and preferences. I know some of my friends loved the series because of the music and such, and that's totally fine :) But to anyone who isn't sure to either watch this anime or not, my HIGHEST recommendation is to try the first 3 episodes and see if you wanna continue it afterwards. If you don't like after that, then stop. Simple as that. Don't force yourself to watch something if you have a feeling you won't like it later. |
| Not into music anime that much, but this one I would watch |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| it was nice, though it was a little bit unrealistic and melodramatic at times. |
| My feelings on this anime are really mixed... I mean I was enthralled enough with it to plow through like fifteen episodes in one day, but towards the end of my binge it kind of felt like I was just forcing myself through the series. I liked Kousei, and I really felt for him in some scenes, but in others they really seemed to drag on his emotional paralysis longer than they should have. On the flip side I couldn't really sympathize with Kaori, I know she was supposed to be a character that tugged at your heartstrings(pardon the pun) but she came across as more annoying than anything. I feel like she could have tried to inspire Kousei to get back to playing the piano in a far more moving way as well. Is it also wrong that I felt more saddened by the cat's death than as well? Cause yeah, I did. When it gets down to it the animation was beautiful and I really enjoyed the music, but the story line kind of fell flat for me somewhere in the middle. I've seen a few other people call it melodramatic, and I have to say I kind of agree. |
| Nodame Cantabile is way better IMO. |

The lack of any progress in it was what is disappointing, some may argue with the moments between kousei and kaori, but I wanted really 1-on-1 confrontation. |

| That it is ranked 14th place is just laughable. But yea, last years MAL rating are pretty messed up. It's a anime with overused melodrama en misplaced comedy that easily is allowed to even exist on the first rating page. Dear new anime generation, i spit on your shit taste. |

I think you folks should just stop with that, I m getting tired of hearing that. Yeah I agree the series maybe slightly overrated, but so what?! Since when does another opinion matters, the anime you like getting way less score than something you hate... please. Why should this bother you, does it make stuff less enjoyable for you? Because if I had to go by your way of though I would probably say why Gintama?! But I dont, because it really doesnt bothers me, everyone has different tastes, you can think they are shit, but that is your opinion. Some people may also think your anime taste is shit, and so what, I say fuck what the others think. Thank god we are free to think for ourselves, instead of just being like clones of eachother. |

| Dropped at episode 4 .. 2/10 .. Most overrated show ever |
| Just like Clannad people only like it because of the FEELS. The monologue's from the characters, especially Tsubaki were cringey as fuck. |
| enjoying the music a lot, great animation, great drama, middle school setting (rarely seen it in anime nowadays), awesome character development. overall, it deserve masterpiece on my list |
| I still haven't watched it but I think its gonna be a good one, it is in my august to watch list. |
