Your lie in April is a musical anime which can bring tears to even the heartless by its direction. For all music lovers, it is a must-watch anime. For all I know, many of its scenes made me forget everything around me and made me get lost in its beauty.
When I heard about this anime, I wondered why this anime was so popular. I had great expectations from it when I began the anime. And it fulfilled all the demands I had from this anime. All the characters being good, the music included in it, the way they portrayed the music, the feelings shown that could be understood only by a few. This is the kind of anime one would love to see. Even if you're not much interested in classical music
Story:10/10
Its story was simple, yet effective. No unnecessary twists in between to ruin the story line.
Many of the episode made me cry, because of the fact that it portrayed the feelings of the amazing artists and in a really sensible way.
Art: 10/10
Its art deserves a 10. Many people might not have noticed, but along with the changing moods and feelings in the anime, the colors play a vital role in portraying those feelings. And the directors played a really very good job with that.
I mean, in the last episode, I couldn't take my eyes off the screen.
Sound:10/10
I don't listen to western classical music much but the music played in this anime made me want to listen to classical music. It makes me want to understand more how the legendary artists feel while they compose a piece of music.
Every time a different feel of music is shown which is phenomenal.
Character:9/10
The main and the side characters were amazing. I really had to remind myself in the beginning that the main character, Arima Kousei was only a fourteen-year old kid.
Even though the characters were amazing, I would have liked is more if Ryouta Watari was described a little bit more in detail.
On the other hand, I really liked the way they showed the feelings of Tsubaki towards Kousei.
Enjoyment:10/10
As I said before, this is the anime that made me cry the most. Of course, these tears imply that for me, it has become one of the animes that are of special importance to me now.
Overall:10/10
For me it is an anime worth giving a 10 because of the fact that its music and direction was amazing and well, my love for music made it even more special to me.
