The only thing I didn’t like much in this anime was the shonen-type comedy. Other than that, I loved it. I thought it was a very heart-touching story and the ending solidified it being an 8/10 for me

Imo its 90% very decent like 7-8ish but the Last two eps hit me like truck-kun, which was such a astonishing feeling, that i ranked it as a 10. the music, character and story r all in harmony and when im in a specific mood no anime is able to let me feel like ylia even After the 20th rewatch

10/10 because the story was so easy to immerse in, because you can related to the characters so easily through feelings of pity, understanding, and compassion, the music was amazing and it contributed to the story in an even more amazing way, I like sad stories, and it was my first anime.

BEASTARS Season 3 will be the best anime ever :)

It was really easy to relate to. I played instruments all of my life and it really captured the feeling of pure bliss or dread of standing on stage. The feeling of playing the notes but not being able to hear the music is a very real feeling that was cool to see visualized. I personally went through depression and i related so much to the struggle of trying to play my instrument through it. That's why I personally rated it an 8.

If there's any specific parts like story events or characters point those out, as I'm thinking of making a video sometime trying to critique YLIA from a perspective more empathetic to people who have found it to be very profound/enjoyable.

As someone that had musical education in the past, the way this show provokes emotion through music is really beautiful and touching.

I rated it a 10/10. I really feel for the people who haven’t watched the dub, which gave it way more life than the sub. At the time I watched it it really resonated with me. I like the dialogue a lot, I really liked the poetic aspect to it. I really like classical music and it actually pushed me to take piano lessons. I find it really beautiful. But honestly it really just was the right show at the right time, I never related to something so much at that time.

The right mindset when watching an anime is hoping that it will break your top 10

To be perfectly transparent, a good portion of it is nostalgia. But the other portion is from the fact that I am a sucker for romance stories and I like Kosei and Kaori's characters respectively. Many, including me, really like Kosei's character arc (even though I still think he was a bit too wimpy for the majority of the series) and I like Kaori on the latter half of the series, actually my favorite episodes are from the latter half of the series actually. The arc starting from ep 16 was my favorite of the series as it actually presented a glimpse of what Kaori truly is as a person and tried to give Kosei some level of maturity. Plus I like overdramatic musical sequences. If it isn't your thing, that's ok too. I think the series is overrated as fuck but I do think it's overhated too sometimes. Objectively, Anohana is better in my opinion a tinsy bit but I like this show more as a whole. I don't like the ending of the show as much as I used to as I feel it's a kinda forced and speed up and the whole idea of Kosei being this obsessed with her is getting on my nerves but often and not the show still captivates me. 8/10

Tl;DR Eh... Personal preferences.

at general I think every anime should be respected at their way since people worked hard to make it happen. so 6 is about fine minus, 7 is good 8 is good plus etc.. I don't give many shows below 5. only if I genuinely want to drop any minute (which I don't do for the same reason) while watching

Think I gave it a 7/10 but honestly quite liked it, it just didn’t stand out for me. Honestly was just there for the music cause it was fun to listen too and probably watched more as a sport anime(sport being music sorry if this is controversial for you) than a sad anime. I really didn’t like how they portrayed kouri’s death, but liked the story anyway

the subtlety with which they show the emotions and intentions of the characters. the warm atmosphere of Japan in the two thousand. the brutal music of the series. and above all the closeness that it achieves between the spectator and the characters.

It nailed me in every way. Pushed all my buttons. The fact that the first episode aired a couple weeks after my best friend died -- she was an accomplished musician who also downplayed her illness -- figures in, too. I figure that YLiA is something you either get or you don't. I think, too, that it appeals more to a non-traditional anime audience. Though I know big, grown-up men with families who sobbed through the last couple of episodes and who even now have to excuse themselves if they hear Hikaru Nara or you say "Kaori's letter" to them. For a certain set of people who have lived through things or can imagine doing so, YLiA is and will be as powerful as it gets.

It's the music part. As a musician (I cringe with the term but it's true sometimes) who has been coping with practicing and performing from a very young age it really ticks my boxes. I can see myself a lot of times in the anime and reflect with a lot of themes and struggles.

The music used is simply perfect. It matches each emotion the anime want to convey. As per the romance, even though I'm not really a romance person, the way it is communicated through music,dialogues,screen and feeling is really amazing. The thing is romance doesn't even feel like its main theme, all the psychosynthesis of the characters do (meaning the pallet of their feelings, thoughts and moods).

It's a strong show which will move you in some way, I'm sure of it. I love it

As a musician I was really impatient with how accurate the animation was and how the the judges talked like actually musical judges who would judge high school music composition. Also the soundtrack is phenomenal. I’m also just a sucker for rom-cons so ya. There a bit more but those are the main reason.

It's a well executed story, as simple as that. Almost every character has an arc, they all go through a journey and they all have a conclusion. The visuals and music are some of the best there is. The coming of age narrative works for the target audience, as most could easily relate to the fear and anxiety that Kousei goes through. The pressure of having to live up to your parent's legacy is one of the most relatable things in the story. Something else I really liked was the dynamic between the characters. Apart from the nonsensical comedy, the rest of it was really good and heartwarming.

So yeah, 9/10. The only thing that I didn't like, which I'm sure no one did, was the slapstick comedy. It's fine in a normal shounen story. But a serious coming of age story like this one doesn't need that silliness.

Personally watching it as a music student myself there were things in the story that I really like but there were some frustrating moments that I don’t really hear people talk about

There are two mindsets you can use when going into an anime: the emotional one and the intellectual one. You use the intellectual one for when you’re reading 1984 or The Odyssey. You use the emotional one when you’re watching things like this. If you do manage to get yourself in this mindset, it will be so much more enjoyable and fulfilling as you’ll generally focus on what makes it great and attach yourself to it better. But I suppose if you’re really going into there with the intellectual mindset then you’ll end up finding an enormous amount of nitpicks and looking past the many positives that it has.

yeah i agree with you.we have see anime from its genre so we enjoy as good as possible.
