Your Lie in April


Music accompanies the path of the human metronome, the prodigious pianist Kousei Arima. But after the passing of his mother, Saki Arima, Kousei falls into a downward spiral, rendering him unable to hear the sound of his own piano.

Two years later, Kousei still avoids the piano, leaving behind his admirers and rivals, and lives a colorless life alongside his friends Tsubaki Sawabe and Ryouta Watari. However, everything changes when he meets a beautiful violinist, Kaori Miyazono, who stirs up his world and sets him on a journey to face music again.


Based on the manga series of the same name, Your Lie in April approaches the story of Kousei's recovery as he discovers that music is more than playing each note perfectly, and a single melody can bring in the fresh spring air of April.

This one. This is the one, guys. You will fall apart and be torn to pieces. This is without a doubt one of the most heart-wrenching, bitter sweet stories out there. The story follows a boy dealing with emotional and mental issues due to his mother being abusive his whole life.


The journey develops artistically and emotionally. This anime feels so real you can't help but to need to take a breather after each episode. Just when you think you've made it, you're in the clear, things will surely get better now - BAM! The feels train hits.

This is one of those ones that no matter what type of show you watch, even if you do not watch anime, it will captivate you. The plot and story are greatly expressed and slowly builds up your investments for the characters. I've rarely seen character development so artfully done.
