Cat from Your lie in April

Today's AniAnimal is this black cat with blue eyes from "Your lie in April". 今日のアニアニマルは『四月は君の嘘』のこの青い目の黒猫です。

[sumibuns]

Every year I read this letter to remind myself of how beautiful someone can really be. Reminding myself of the people I love and the people I cherish. I will forever love Your lie in April for the impact it gave me and thank you Kaori Miyazono for making me who I am today. Without you I wouldn’t be the person I am today because of that lie and this anime will always be my most cherished memory ever. Rest in peace you’ll always have a place in my heart.

“Spring will be here soon.

Spring, the season I met you, is coming.

A spring without you...

...is coming.”

- Kousei Arima

Kaori's letter to Kousei [SPOILER]

Thanks to the one who translated this

Dear Arima Kousei, It feels weird writing a letter to someone you were just with… You’re the worst. Indecisive. Gullible. Twit. The first time I ever saw you perform, I was 5 years old. It was at a recital for the piano school I was going to. This awkward, clumsy kid came onto the stage and accidentally hit the piano stool with his butt. It was too funny. He turned to the piano that was way too big for him and the moment he played that first note, I was drawn in. The sound was beautiful, like a 24-colour palette. The melodies danced. The girl next to me started crying. I wasn’t expecting that at all. And even so, you gave up the piano. Even though it totally changed other people’s lives. You’re the worst. Indecisive. Gullible. Twit. (Cut to Kaori as a kid, telling her parents she’s giving up piano for violin because she wants Kousei to play again.) When I found out we were in the same middle school, I was ecstatic. But how would I ever come to talk to you? Maybe I’d hang out at the lunch concession. Instead, I just watched you from afar. I mean. After all. You all seemed to get along so well. There wasn’t really any space in there for someone like me. When I was a kid, I had to have an operation and I started having to be at the hospital for regular check-ups. In the first year of middle school, I collapsed and I was admitted over and over. With every visit, I was there for longer and longer. Really, I didn’t get to class much in middle school, I spent more time at the hospital. And I knew something was wrong with my body. One night, I saw my parents crying in the waiting room and I knew that my time was running out. That’s when I ran away. I didn’t want to bring my regrets with me to heaven, so I stopped holding back from what the things I always wanted to do. I wasn’t scared anymore to get contact lenses. I ate what I wanted instead of always worrying about my weight. And I took the music with all its high and mighty directives and played it the way I wanted. And then I told a lie. Just one. I lied and said that I, Miyazono Kaori, liked Watari Ryouta. And that lie brought you to me. Please apologize to Watari for me… though I’m sure he’s forgotten me by now I think I need someone more wholehearted and earnest than him. I think we’d be fine as friends though. And please apologize to Tsubaki for me too. I want for there to be no hard feelings. And there was one thing I could never ask of her, to ask her directly to introduce the two of us. I don’t think she would’ve had an answer for me. After all, she was in love with you. We all knew that. I think the only people who didn’t know were you and her. That underhanded lie brought me to you didn’t work out the way I had imagined. It was darker. And meaner. And denser. And more stubborn. And more perverted. And softer. And more masculine. And sweet. Remember that bridge we jumped off? The water was so cool and refreshing. Racing each other alongside the train. I really thought I could win. The moon was saw from the music room that night, like a delicious-looking bun. Singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star with you as we rode on that bike together. Then falling out time. We’re awful singers. At the school at night. I’m still sure there was something there. The falling snow, just like cherry blossoms. It’s strange to be a musician, but then to have your heart so filled by something that comes from off-stage They’re unforgettable scenes to me. But they’re such little things. It’s weird, isn’t it? What do you think? Do you think I made it into anyone’s heart like that? I wonder if I made it into yours. I wonder if you’ll still remember me. If you forget me, I’ll just come back and.. No, I don’t want to start over. Please don’t forget me. Promise me you won’t forget me. I’m glad it was you. I hope this reaches you, Arima Kousei. I love you. I love you. I love you. I’m sorry we couldn’t eat all those canelés. I’m sorry I hit you so much. I’m sorry I was so selfish. I’m so, so, so, so sorry. Thank you for everything. Miyazono Kaori

YouRiko in an alternate universe 🎹🎻

and then You face the same fate just like Kaori (dying)👍

I love the parallel between You and Kaori, both being free-spirited and energetic individuals who are supportive of those around them

Riko, who also has a trauma with the piano like Arima, slowly began to embrace it again after meeting someone who gives her the strength

The idea came to mind while listening to pianoforte monologue, “oh what if… angst youriko kimiuso AU 😇 that would be fun 😇”

a coincidence that i think its funny too that You is born in april lol

Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso is a Poorly Directed Anime

On paper, there’s a lot to like about Kimiuso. As a burnt-out musician myself, I can relate to Kousei’s struggles. The concert scenes are particularly beautiful. But the anime is torn between being a teen melodrama and a silly romcom, and second-time director Kyohei Ishiguro can’t seem to pull off the right balance. The biggest problem with the directing is that it lacks restraint. It’s clear…

(Another) Your Lie In April Review!

When I began watching anime in earnest last summer, I didn't know what to expect, to be perfectly honest. A good time would be my best guess.

Definitely not a punch in the stomach and waterfalls of tears, at least!

Maybe it's a little cliché, but this is the month of April, so I'll be reviewing... Your Lie In April today! Yay! As mentioned in the title, this was my second time watching this anime, and while I had already written a review for this anime the first time, I feel like this masterpiece deserves better than that.

Yes, masterpiece.

First off, the basics: Your Lie In April is a romance/drama/music anime long of twenty-two masterful episodes. It first aired in 2014 and immediately was a resounding success.

Rightfully so.

I'm definitely biased, and I know that, but this anime is to me as close to perfection as you'll find. I could mention some tiny, tiny flaws, of course, but my goal isn't to write something 100,000+ words long, so I won't.

Everything, from the plot, to the characters, to the music and the openings, to the artstyle, is way above average. Let's dive a little deeper...

First off, the music! Well, it's an anime about music, so you would expect it to be great, which it is. The pieces themselves are great (and I'm not a big classical music amateur, so true fans of Mozart, Chopin and the like will be even more thrilled than I was!), and they are filled with such great feelings to be made even better.

The two openings, "Hikaru Nara" and "Nanairo Symphony" remain at the very top of my list even to this day, especially the first one. And when you see all the hidden details on your second watching, you feel kinda dumb, haha.

It's not something I've seen in other anime so far, but the art style is really pretty in its own right! It is very distinctive, and the way the artists used the colors is both significant and beautiful. Some scenes are nothing short of breathtaking.

The plot... It's tough to talk about the plot without spoiling, but I'll do my best. To put it in a nutshell, it's nearly flawless. There are no weak points to speak of, it flows well, it uses character development to perfection, the cliffhangers at the end of each episode are beautifully cruel, and the ending is the highlight of the anime. That's as much as I can say without venturing into spoiler territory, but that should be enough.

And, of course, the characters. Everything I mentioned above was already fantastic, but the characters are just on another level. Apart from the two main characters - who are my favorites from any anime - they might not seem like much at first glance. What makes them shine is how well they're all linked with each other. There's this common thread - or threads - that serves as a way to make them all better than they would be individually. There are no "side characters" to truly speak of - as the anime focuses on the main characters - but even the sid-iest of characters are amazing. Maybe one tiny flaw I can point out is how one of the protagonist's friends doesn't get much development, but it's nothing much.

I need to talk about the two main characters now. As I said before, I consider them the two best anime characters I've come across so far. The trope they're based on is quite simple, actually (and I won't say what it is not to spoil), but it works miracles. It's honestly as if they were made for this trope, and that the plot had been shaped around them. They work amazingly well as a duo, and I sincerely doubt I'll find a better duo any time soon. Yeah, that good. Their character development is as close to perfection as you'll find, their dynamic should be an example for the whole anime industry, their designs are simple yet unmatched, and their personalities are much of the same. Shoutout to the voice actors who did an amazing job for the whole character cast, too.

All in all, you've probably realized how much I adore this anime. I could praise it even more than this, but I think it's best if I let whoever will read this discover it by themselves.

Now, this may be surprising, but I'm not sure if I even want to recommend watching this anime. After all, it's great and all, but... are you ready for it?

If you think you are, keep some tissues near you. Could be useful.

Just saying.

Below is the (updated) tierlist for the characters! Thank you for reading!
