Your Lie in April || Anime Review

Heyyo, I am back with another anime review and we are going to talk about Shigatsu wa Kimi No Uso or commonly known as, Your Lie In April. This was based on a manga series shown in Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Magazine, and it was animated by the studio A-1 Pictures (Erased, Sword Art Online, Fairy Tail, and Black Butler). This drama was directed by Kyohei Ishiguro (Fairy Tail) and written by Takao Yoshioka (Elfen Lied). This is also a music anime and the music was done by Masaru Yokoyama (Scum's Wish, Mobile Suit Gundam; Iron-Blooded Orphans). The anime aired back in 2014 and ended in 2015, and is known to be yet another tear-jerking series that tugs at not only your heart, but also your soul.

This review is spoiler free.

Plot

Okay let me break it down for you; Kousei Arima was considered a piano prodigy at such a young age, but a terrible event in his life discourages him from continuing music. Whenever he attempts to play a piano, his trauma returns and he suddenly cannot hear the notes and abruptly stops playing. His life has become quite dull, boring, and even sad due to the lack of closure of his past wounds until he meets a cheerful young violinist named Kaori Miyazono, whose unconventional passion for music brings technicolor into Kousei's life. The two gradually build a strong emotional bond together over their love for music, and little does Kousei know that Kaori is not only helping him get back on his feet, but is also keeping a devastating secret that might shatter him once more (source: Classic )
