To be honest I don’t love Kaori Miyazono, and I don’t ship her with Kosei
It was so messed up of her to date Watari just to get close to to Kosei & just play with his feelings like that, then force Kosei to relieve his trauma just because she watched to play music with him, and ends up traumatizing 2 boys who had feelings for her.
At the same time I can’t hate her either because she’s literally a dying child, but objectively her actions are messed up.
I hope Kosei will be able to get over her (and not by getting with Tsubaki because she’s lowkey toxic & is giving friend who can’t take “no” for an answer)

Unpopular Opinion
After reading the plot and watch a bit of clips from Your Lie in April and Tokyo Revengers, My imagination became wild. I started to imagine that, few years after Kaori's death, Kosei is now 26 and is now a successful pianist. At some point, Tsubaki dumps him and Ryota dies in a car accident. Kosei is now single and heartbroken. On his way to the train staition and waiting for the train, someone pushed him and he landed on the train tracks. As he was was about to get hit by the train, he suddenly teleports exactly 12 years into the past where he was in middle school. At first, he thought it was a dream, but then he went with it. While reliving his middle school years, he suddenly remembers something, Kaori. He then went to see her and after seeing her, he suddenly cries after seeing her for such a long time and the two began to hang out much often. Kosei thought that God was giving him a second chance to see Kaori again, even if it's just temporary. He then bumps into Ryota and divulges the exact date he and Kaori will die. When they shake hands, Kosei is suddenly transported back to the present, creating a time paradox where Ryota survives and is now a scientist and has studied a cure for Kaori's illness. Ryota deduces that every time they hold hands, Kosei is transported 12 years into the past. Using his knowledge from the future, Kosei vows to spend as much time with Kaori as possible and maybe even save/cure her one day.

Self reblog because I just finished rewatching this masterpiece and even after three times, the tears are still there.
(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!

what do you think of this tweet by netflix anime about tokyo override that says Rev up and meet Spoke (Tomoaki Maeno), Kai (Fairouz Ai), Hugo (Ryota Takeuchi), and Watari (Mariya Ise) ?
It certainly is a great way to introduce people to the characters and get them excited. ;)

Torhu: Yuki Sohma, Kyo Sohma and Shigure Sohma

Tumblr media Tumblr media
100 Ways to Say I Love You
Warning! This is a tickle drabble!
Ships: Platonic!Kousei Arima x Kaori Miyazono
Warnings: Tickles n stuff!
Prompt: Kousei has always hated Valentine’s Day. Kaori has her heart set on finding out why.
Tags: T-fic taglist! (Bold means no can tag 🥺) @cupcake-spice13, @deadmarz @rachi-roo, @danibby, @rattypattyy, @something1987, @littlebbyleesfw, @justanunknown and once again the incredible @skribblz I hope you are having the most amazing time as a year older!!
Tumblr media
February 14th. The day of baby Cupid. The day of sweets. The day of pointless letters and love confessions. At least, that’s what the day was for Kousei Arima. He had never been fond of the holiday, opting to shut himself inside the room where the piano resided.
His mindset was challenged when Kaori Miyazono entered his life. She was the one who challenged… everything for him.
-
“C’mon, Kousei. You can at least go out with us.” Watari said, knocking on the bespectacled boy’s front door.
Kousei’s two best friends had decided to play Cupid, hoping that getting Kousei and Kaori together on Valentine’s Day would be the ticket.
“Not feeling good, come back tomorrow.” He replied while laying under the piano.
“That’s a load of nonsense!” Watari yelled with annoyance in his tone, “Just come outside! We want to go to the bakery!”
“No! I don’t wanna see all the stupid lovey-dovey couples!”
“I’ll buy your lunch!” Tsubaki beamed from Watari’s side.
Within a few moments, the door unlocked and the two friends were met with a very scraggly looking Kousei.
“Depends where we’re going. You know how I feel about you spending money on me.”
With great convincing, Kousei and friends took route to the bakery that Kaori’s family owned. The black-haired boy had changed into… decent clothing and combed his hair.
Upon the three’s arrival, they were graciously greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Miyazono.
“Ah! My goodness, welcome welcome! Kaori is just upstairs.” The blonde girl’s father chimed.
“Thank you for the welcome, sir.” Kousei replied with a light bow.
As if on cue from her name, Kaori excitedly ran down the stairs, pulling all three friends into a big hug.
“Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!” She cried, handing them each a box of chocolates and a letter.
While Watari and Tsubaki instantly tore into their treat, Kousei examined it in his hands. His expression was unreadable, but he definitely had some thoughts in his head.
“Y’know, if you hate chocolates so much, I can get you some canelés instead.” Kaori said sheepishly.
“Oh! Uh, no these are great. Thanks…”
After lunch, Kousei made the mistake to invite his friends back over to hang out. Naturally, they agreed. So, there they sat in front of the tv. Three on the couch, and Kousei barely on the cushion, with his legs across their laps.
“You look… comfortable.” Watari noted, biting back a chuckle.
“Aha ha. You’re a funny guy.” The piano player bit back sarcastically.
“I know! I’m so good at making people laugh. Especially you, Kousei!” To accompany his message, and to prove his point, the brunette traced a finger around the ball of Kousei’s foot.
“Hehehey!” The black-haired boy yelped while recoiling it
The violin player took notice of the boy’s response. Interesting…
“See! I’m good at making you laugh!” Watari chimed.
“Yeah, not from your humor.” Kousei murmured with an eye roll.
“Man.” Kaori piped up, “What’s got you so prickly today?”
“I don’t know, I just-“
“He hates Valentine’s Day.”
All eyes fell onto Tsubaki, who seemed very nonchalant about the message she had just relayed.
“Tsubakiiiii.” Kousei whined, “You can’t just tell her that!”
“Why not? It’s true isn’t it? It’ll get out at some point.” She replied, biting the inside of her cheek.
“Tsub-“
“Well now you have to tell me why you hate it.” The blonde girl noted.
“What? No way! I don’t share that info with anyone!”
“Oh reaaaally?” Kaori teased, “You sure you won’t tell me?”
“Lips are sealed!”
“Bummer.” She feigned innocence, “Even if I were to… force it out of you…?” She accompanied her message with a squeeze to the boy’s knee.
Kousei gasped, “You wouldn’t dare.”
Oh yes, she would dare. Kaori happily squeezed Kousei’s knee cap for about two minutes. “C‘Mon, Friend A. You’ll have to tell me eventually!”
“Nohohoho! Ihihihits prihihivahahatehehe!” The piano player whined, desperately trying to keep from squirming and disturbing his friends.
Said friends didn’t mind it at all. It had been a while since Kousei had really let loose and has fun, so they did their fair share to help. “Kao’ Kao’. Try another spot.” Watari beamed.
“Nohohoho yohohou trahahaitohohor!” Kousei squeezed an eye shut to try and maintain composure as Kaori begin to prod at his hipbones.
“Kooouseeii~” she cooed, “Tell me your secret!”
“Mhmhmhm mhmhmhmnn!” Poor Kousei was giggling like crazy. Due to his butt barely being on the couch, he had nowhere to run and no way to move. The poor soul could only cover his mouth as helpless giggles poured out. “Kahahaohohorihihi! Wahahahait! Plehehehehease Stahahahap!”
She immediately ceased, “You alright, Friend A?”
Kousei’s face reddened. “I y-yeah. I-I just feel uh. Um… a little t-trapped. That’s uh. T-That’s all.”
“Aww after all these years, this is still your favorite game!” Tsubaki cooed out of the sweetness.
“Tsubaki!” Kousei hissed, face growing even more scarlet.
The blonde girl helped her partner to get unstuck from his spot in the couch, sitting him in between her and Watari. “This better?”
The piano player wiggled a bit, “Much.”
“Okay, great!”
Instantly, she was back on the hunt. “Y’know, you can avoid this whole ordeal if you just tell me what’s wrong!”
Kousei threw his head back onto the cushion behind him, “Nohohoho! Ihihihits ehehembahaharahahassihihing!”
“More embarrassing than admitting you’re actually having fun?” Another voice chimed.
“Wahahataharihihi! Dohohont sahahahay thahahat!” The black-haired boy whined, throwing an arm over his eyes.
“This isn’t working! Where else can I go?!” Kaori chirped.
Watari held his own arm up, poking two fingers into his own ribs. “Here.” He mouthed.
The violin player took notice of how light his touch was, not wanting to hurt her friend and partner. She gentle wiggled her fingers in Kousei’s ribs, watching his eyes widen and him throw his hands over his face.
“Agh! Cmohohohon Kahahaohohorihihi! Thihihis -IHIHISNT FAHAHAIR!”
Kousei’s entire demeanor had changed when his partner had inched her hands downward toward his stomach.
“Ooooh! Did I find a good spot?” She teased, slowly ghosting her fingers above the spot.
“Nohohoho! Nohohohot ahahahat ahahall!” The anticipation was making Kousei giggle madly again. He just had to lie to her and- “ACK- KAHAHAOHOHORIHIHI! NOHOHOHO!”
Well, that didn’t work.
The blonde girl happily began to gently claw at the boy’s stomach. She cheerfully asked him: “So, what’s your secret?”
“YOHOHOU- AHAHAHA! YOHOHOU CAHAHANT DOHOHOHO THIHIHIS!” The black-haired boy threw his hands over his face and squealed into them as Kaori’s light scribbled turned into squeezes.
“This can all end if you just tell me!”
“NOHOHOHO!”
“Fine, your funeral.” Kaori chimed, bringing her hands close to his belly button. She squeezed gently, but with enough purpose to get her message across.
Ah, poor Kousei lost it. “HNGH- OHOHOKAHAHAY! OKAHAHAHAY! IHIHI’LL TEHEHELL YOHOHOU!”
The violin player gently squeezed the area to get Kousei down from the high, “I knew I could get you, Friend A.”
With a sudden sheepishness in his person, Kousei prepared to tell his friends. It was stupid, why was he nervous? Kaori had just embarrassed him in front of Watari and Tsubaki so… why was this any different?
“I don’t like Valentine’s Day because…”
Three pairs of eyes fell on the blushing boy.
“I’ve never gotten a valentine before…” he murmured, hiding his head in his hands. He curled up into a ball and hid under his hands.
“Wait what? I didn’t hear you?” Watari asked with furrowed brows, leaning closer to his friend.
“I’ve never…” he mumbled, “I’ve never- Ah! Kahahahaohohorihihihi!”
The blonde girl had gently squeezed at the boy’s sides, hoping to un-turtle him.
She was successful, and Kousei looked at all of his friends. He took a deep breath, “I’ve never gotten a valentine before... at least until today.”
“Oh. That’s it?” Tsubaki asked softly, taking the black-haired boy’s hand. “If I knew that, I would’ve brought you an entire box of valentines.”
“Oh I get it!” Kaori chirped, “That must’ve been why you were so antsy when I gave you the chocolates and the letter!”
“Yeah…” he trailed off.
“Well! There’s no need to be sad! You haven’t opened your letter yet, and you have a whole box of chocolates proving that we like you!” The blonde girl chimed.
“Should I open it now?” He asked softly.
“You can.” Kaori replied, “But you may want to open it in private. I don’t know if you’re a crier or not.”
“Hey!” The black-haired boy yelped with a grin. “ I am not!”
“Oh you totally are.” Tsubaki said with a smile and furrowed brows.
“Oh yeah, 100%, man.” Watari teased.
“Rude!” Kousei whined.
When all of his friends had went home, Kousei decided to open the letter that Kaori had written for him. He gently nibbled on a piece of chocolate with strawberry filling as he held the piece of paper between two fingers.
“Dear Friend A,
What a crazy year it’s been! I’ve never felt more welcomed in a new place in my entire life! My family moved a lot when I was younger, so I was finally happy to settle here in Japan. I wasn’t expecting to make so many friends this quickly. But, what really made me happy was meeting you. I’m so happy that you’re playing piano again, and I’m even more thrilled that you’re doing it alongside me! Thank you for always being my adventures guy, my canelés guy, my café guy. Thank you for being my guy. Here’s to this year and many more. Here’s to you: my partner, my Friend A, my Kousei.
With love,
Kaori.”

Your lie in April anime review
Spoilers for your lie in April and tw for death, trauma and family issues
Tumblr media
“Even in the depths of the darkest oceans, some light always pierces through,” - Kousei Arima
Genre: tragedy, music (piano/violin), slice of life, romance, high school
Where I watched it: Netfilx
Characterisation: 9.5/10 ( The characters are all given very distinct, yet believable, personalities, as well as flaws - all of them hesitate and make mistakes, and all of them learn something about what they actually want in the process. Even Kaori, who is always impossibly cheery and energetic, and Watari, who has a light hearted and humorous demeanor, are shown slipping up and getting discouraged. All characters have detailed backstories and well explained motives, which only get better as the series develops them)
Setting: 8/10 (The high school where all the characters go is a pretty standard anime setting. The more noteworthy things include Kousei's house, with the dusty piano room, ever present even when he tries to forget, the hospital where a lot of Kousei's grief is set, and the various very grand theatres where the piano competitions are held and where Kousei makes, breaks and rebuilds his reputation, as well as developing a relationship with Kaori)
Plot: 8.5/10 (One of my favourite anime ever. The plot is full of twists and has quite a few mysteries and side plots, which all link together beautifully in Kaori’s letter in the end, offering Kousei, and the viewer, closure. While some episodes are heartbreaking as the viewer finds out more about the abuse Kousei was forced to endure from his mother, others are quite comforting and romantic, as Kaori makes him realize he can play because he enjoys it and as himself, and that he’s much more than his mother’s tool.)
Comfort: 5/10 (This anime really is a roller coaster to watch- Kousei goes through depressing life situations, which are executed  in a way that makes the viewer feel the pain or fear too. However, there are also several feel good scenes at the start of Kousei and Kaori’s friendship, with her helping him find himself and move past his mother’s death and abuse. Their playing together is also pleasant to watch, but soon, their relationship starts to be tinged with loss and sadness as well. There are quite a few humorous scenes with Kousei’s friends, particularly the playboy and captain of the football team, Ryota Watari.)
Art style: 9.5/10 (I absolutely adore the way the characters are drawn! They all look realistic and developed, with the eyes truly reflecting their personalities. The setting is drawn in a very aesthetic way too, with cherry blossom trees, grand halls for competitions, and starry skies on shimmering waters. This alone made it truly a pleasure to watch! The colour pallet goes from vibrant when Kaori enters Kosei’s life and helps him to move on from everything that happened, to muted and dull when things begin to deteriorate for him, reflecting the mood. Sometimes, in flashbacks about Kosei’s mother, she is shown in black and white, or with no eyes, which makes her appear all the more wicked and terrifying. References to colour are also often made to symbolise emotions and outlook on life) 
Addictiveness: 10/10 (The series is very addictive, with constant twists and urgent mysteries in the plot, as well as mysteries and developments with all the characters. This made it impossible to stop watching- there are major cliffhangers. Luckily, at 24 episodes, it is not too demanding to watch.) 
Philosophy: 8/10 (This anime is quite psychological, with Kousei’s mother abusing him for most of his childhood and dying when he’s 14. This leaves him unable to play the piano- he sees the ghost of his mother whenever he does and can’t hear the notes as a result- and forces him to abandon his career as a piano prodigy. Because of this, much of the anime is about recovery- Kousei discovers himself and his own love for playing, separate from the metronome-like style his mother had forced him to adopt. He also gains more insight into his feelings as he does so, realising that, in a twisted way, his mother ways trying to help him have a livelihood and support himself after she passed. With this realization, he’s finally able to move past the ghost of his mother and  look at life from another perspective. All the characters fight their own mental battles, some putting up cheerful fronts and falling apart later on in the series, and others making mistakes and questionable decisions to find their happiness.)
Originality: 9/10 (I have never seen an anime combine so many elements so beautifully: there’s the music aspect, with the rivalries between the top players and competitions, the romance aspect, with Kousei’s feelings for Kaori, who is dating his best friend and the two growing closer, as well as Tsubaki’s chaotic romantic discoveries, and there’s a more tragic aspect, with the relationship between Kousei and his mother, her death, and what later happens to Kaori)
Consistency: 8.5/10 (The series keeps up a consistently high quality throughout. There are some seemingly less relevant aspects, like Kousei becoming Nagi’s piano teacher and helping her perform for a school concert, but I think these help us build a picture of Kousei recovering and making his piano playing, as well as his life, his own)
The plot 
Kousei Arima used to be a piano prodigy- he was one of the most promising young pianists in Japan, winning every competition he entered and shocking the judges with his seemingly impossibly accurate replications of the score. However, after his abusive mother died, he found himself unable to hear the notes, and remembering her and the physical and mental abuse he went through whenever he played. As a result, he resigned from his career as a pianist. Two years later, his best friend, Tsubaki Sawabe, forces him to come along to a date she arranged between her friend, Kaori Miyazono, and Kousei’s other best friend, Ryota Watari. He gets there earlier than the other two, and is instantly stunned when he sees Kaori. The group later goes to see her perform at a concert, which is also deeply shocking to Kousei- she plays with skill and passion, but instead of sticking to the score, she changes the pieces she plays to her liking. Afterwards, Kaori manages to persuade Kousei to accompany her on the piano at her next competition. Initially, Kousei bails, saying he can’t hear the notes, but after seeing how much Kaori needs him and how nervous she is, he changes his mind and the group rush to the concert hall together. The performance starts off good, but then Kousei stops hearing the notes, resulting in a catastrophic second part. This is just the beginning of his new piano career- with Kaori by his side, he soon falls back into performing, entering competitions by himself and meeting old industry rivals who have all but forgotten him. As Kousei continues playing and starts moving past the scars his mother left him, realising her ghost is just a figment of his trauma and her actions were a form of twisted and misguided love, his relationship with Kaori becomes stronger and the two grow very close. However, Kousei soon learns something life changing about Kaori, which causes him to deteriorate all over again, and this time there is no one but his mother’s old collegue, Ms Seto, to force him out of the dumps and make him carry on playing.
