"Maybe there’s only a dark road up ahead. But you still have to believe and keep going. Believe that the stars will light your path, even a little bit."
People who's being haunted by their past spent their life living in a monotone world. But you always have a choice. You can choose to run from it or face it head-on!
Story
The story starts off with a pianist who can't hear his notes.
I personally love music. And i love piano so much. So for me it's 10/10.
It is very common to musicians to have those "find your music" phase. The MC's struggle is so relating and realistic.
Art
9/10
Can in just say that i love the art BUT, their lips... It's like someone punch them and their lips are like bloated. I don't wanna say anymore.
Sound
10/10
As I've said, i personally love music, in Shigatsu Was Kimi No Uso, there's a lot of scene where they play music. The pieces they chose were beautiful and relaxing. And some of the piano pieces were original. (i think) And it's really fitting in every scene.
The Opening Song and Ending song were great! I love playing them in piano.
Character
10/10
I'm going to give reviews to some important character.
Koari Miyazono - I've said it once and I'm gonna say it again. Kaori is one of the best girl in anime history. She knew she did'nt have much time and yet, instead of responding to Kousei's obvious feelings towards her, Kaori chose to deny it herself and even considered Tsubaki's feelings towards Kousei. She is so brave and so different from other musician. She didn't even care about the music scores (which is, if you're a musician music score is everything in your life.) She played through her heart and that's beautiful. She didn't care if she'll win or not. All she wants is her performance to stay in people's heart. She is truly the best.
Kousei Arima - She is this shy-type MC. I honestly feel sorry for him. His childhood is taken away by the piano and yet he believe that the piano is the best thing that ever happened to him. He plays exactly like the composer wanted you to play. He is like a living metronome. Some people look down on him for being his mommy's pet. But he have this kind heart that she follows whatever his mom says so she will feel better. All he wanted is to make his mom feel better and make her happy. He carried such painful memories of his mother to the point that he became note-deaf. Unable to hear his own notes. The world looks like a monotone in his eyes.
Tsubaki Sawabe - She is Kouse and Ryouta's childhood friend. She is pretty supportive towards Kousei but i see her as a selfish peson because she wanted Kousei all by herself. Though in their childhood, she helped him a lot.I just don't like the fact that she stand between Kousei and Kaori. Anyways, she is pretty strong and cheerful.
Ryouta Watari - Every story needs a character who every girls fall in love with, right? and that's Ryouta for you! I like his character so much, he is supportive and he doesn't see Kousei as a rival for his love with Kaori. He is such a good friend. Although a little to much of a playboy. But well, what do you expect for a soccer mvp, right?
Enjoyment
10/10
I enjoyed it so much.
Overall
10/10
Your lie in april is such a deceitful, colorful and emotional master piece. It's like riding a roller coaster. You never know what will happen next. It made me cry my eyes out. Slice of life is so much better when it's realistic.
