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)

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!

Just finished watching all of Your Lie In April and for me personally, it was okay? I think I’m just a huge sucker for the friends-to-lovers troupe that I was purely watching it for Kousei and Tsubaki…it probably sounds really bad but I literally couldn’t have cared less for Kaori…sweet girl and everything but her storyline was predictable from the beginning so idk…teen me would’ve probably liked it a ton more and gotten an emotional kick from it tho 🤷‍♀️

Your Lie in April let’s gooooo (warning: this is gonna be a long one and it’s for my Emi Igawa/Ryota Watari rarepair heart)

So the characters are now 18, their last semester before they head off to university. Emi Igawa, ever the emotional hurricane of a human, has what can only be described as an emotional meltdown at her piano lesson due to her anxieties about her future (as Kousei Arima and Takeshi Aiza already have set plans, but hers are still up in the air). Her piano instructor gently suggests she take a break from piano for a bit until she gets her emotions under control, which of course sets her off. After they fight, she storms off to a club to make some poor decisions. The same club, it turns out, where the local girl’s softball team has gone to celebrate their last game before they all split ways…

Tsubaki, competitive as ever, gets into a drinking contest with some older boys, and the team ends up calling Kousei & Ryota Watari to come take her home. While Kousei is busy wrangling a tipsy Tsubaki (who just wants to crush these losers in a dance-off), Watari discovers Emi, who begs him not to tell Kousei she’s here, since she doesn’t want him to see her upset. Concerned, Watari tells Kousei he’s going to make sure another girl gets home safe, and so Kousei escorts Tsubaki home alone. 

Watari and Emi spend a few more hours at the club, trading barbs back and forth–he thinks she’s hot but scary, she thinks he’s just another jock playboy (although being friends with Kousei earns him a singular point). Their conversation deepens, and to her surprise, Emi finds Watari to be kinder than expected. What’s more, he understands her anxiety about choosing a path for the future–in fact, he shares the same sentiments. After the day she’s had, Emi is in the market to make a dumb decision…so she kisses him. Watari tells her she must be drunk, and she reveals that she’s been drinking water the whole time. One thing leads to another, and well…they have a one night stand.

Afterwards, Watari is understandably head over heels, but Emi ghosts him. He’s no Kousei after all, even though deep down she likes him a lot more than she’d ever admit. Tsubaki doesn’t know who Watari is pining for, but she recognizes the signs, and tries to support him as best she can. Similarly, Kousei and Takeshi know something is up with Emi–her piano playing becomes more rigid, almost like she’s using music to contain the emotions inside her instead of set them free. It’s not until Emi sees that little pink plus sign on that pregnancy test that she realizes just how much her life is about to change…

BONUS: Kashiwagi is the only one who knows everything about what’s going on because she saw the two of them at the club and once she noticed Watari being all sad and heard about Emi acting weird around Kousei, she put 2 + 2 together.
