Shigatsu Wa Kimi No Uso - Sekunden in Moll

Hey guys, this is the first time I have written a review for anything, but I just felt like it was necessary for this anime which in my opinion is very underrated. OK, so don't let the genre of the anime shy you away, even if you aren't into music it will definitely drag you into its world of hardship laughter and sorrow. The main character, an ex celebrity pianist losses his way and goes on a journey of a life time to re light a withered fire, but has has unexpected hardships along the way. This anime will keep you guessing, leaving you wanting more. It's not your typical love story " he falls in love with girl, happy ending" It portrays a very real life love triangle, depth and situation that its set in. I have no flaws with this anime, it's near perfect, Sound track, visuals and plot deserve 9.9/10. You will not be disappointed.

Shigatsu wa kimi no uso is an anime to what nobody stays indifferent. I started watching it because i was bored and liked the style of the cover. At first i thought that the anime was going to be good but inevitably full of clichés: a guy who plays the piano, a girl with who he falls in love,.. but as the characters were presented i realized it was nothing like that. The main character has a deep personal and sad story beneath it, the girl he meets is nothing like the typical girl either. The anime avoids the clichés that naturally come with a love story, there's something like a love triangle there too, or should i say, a love square? The sound track is perfect , the performances of the musicians breathtaking and with some suspense because you never know how it will go. If you're sensitive like me it will even make you tear up..even the secondary characters are interisting and well developed. I have no flaws to this beautiful anime which moral is that we all have the courage to overcome our fears despite our past and follow our passion

What an experience it was watching this anime. This is something every one should watch regardless of the specific interest. How will it get you ? with Pain, Love and Music ! Not a fan of music based movie/series and i was avoiding this anime for a while for it but finally boredom and "don't have anything interesting to watch" made me watch it and i don't regret it ! First, lets talk about the character developement, its amazing, it unveils the true nature, what they feel and the past of each character at the right time. Characters are unique and well thought out.They really give the time on The Main protagonist (Kousei Arima) but he won't be your favourite. The Plot seems cliche, 'Pianist Boy Falls in Love with Violinist girl' but its not. This anime is very different from what it seems like and if not way better. The animation is great and the soundtrack is better, with classical music being the highlight of the anime. Although this anime, in my pov don't make a great 'empowered by music' show, Maybe because i'm not interested in classical Piano music. The one part i don't really like about it is its overly dramatic background monologues. It doesn't occur often (Only when he plays the piano) and some of them are AMAZING and actually leaves a big 'on point' notes and the rest is just too long. But it didnt matter to me at all because this anime is such a emotional roller coaster and the Ending makes it a worth while ride. Don't wanna give too much out but the end (what's supposed to be a very depressed ending to the story) will leave you with this heart warming and heart wrenching feeling that takes quite a while to forget. Some would want it to end differently but personally it couldn't be any better. PS: giving this a 9/10 simply because there isn't such a thing called perfect and it's the flaws that makes it what it is.

Your Lie in April. Such a masterpiece. A Magnum Opus, you can call it. It even forced me, a real lazy person, to get up and type this in the hopes that more people can enjoy it. I find myself at a loss on how to praise this anime more, having read the other reviews. Arima Kousei, the human metronome, trained by his mother to be a machine that wins competitions. But the incident at an young age leaves him tone deaf. With such a disability and a fear of music itself, he stops playing the piano. But as the series progresses, this hidden diamond of a genius is slowly unearthed and his inner artist revived. Such a simple,undoubtedly used before, generic plot to be honest. But it is anything but that. Because this story is just wonderful. A tale with classical music bringing it to life. With characters who all have their own story, who are all facing their own problems. Throughout my experience watching this, I found myself conflicted over several events. Because really, you can't hate anyone no matter what. Arima's hidden past came as a shocker to me, but its consequences a tearjerker. It always had me on the verge of tears. Never crying, just on the verge. But at the ending, it was like a dam had broken as all of my emotions came gushing out. Joy, Grief, Rage, everything. Because it was so perfect, yet not perfect. It gave me a new perspective on life. Absolutely recommend it as a must watch anime. Even after typing this, I feel as if I haven't yet done it justice.Just watch it you guys xD

I as well, have never written any review for anything. But I think this anime was a real masterpiece, so I have to do it justice! I can't even begin to explain how it touched my heart. Even if you're not into romance anime, or you're not into music, or even you're not into anime at all, you really have to watch it. The story is simple and not very new or inventive, but yet, the storytelling, the amazing art (Oh my God, the art and animation was ammazing!!!) , the fantastic music, the lighting, montage and direction, had made a simple plot into the best series I have ever seen in my life. everything is in place in this anime, and even when I felt a character or event was out of place at first, it would beautifully come into place and contribute to the whole plot and it's main purpose. I truly felt "This is Art" in the last episode. If you watch this anime (which you definitely should!) be sure to watch it till the end, because the last episode is unbelievable, a true true masterpiece.
