Featured reviews
This anime is a piece of art. It makes me wish that I saw life so beautifully and with so much emotion. The classical music and intense descriptions of what the characters Kousei, Tsubaki, and Kaori experience throughout their musical pieces ran me for quite a journey. If I were to rate the situations that the characters go through on a scale of realism, I think that such experiences in real life can only really happen to certain people with real perceptions of what life should be. Then again I could be just strange. It's only my opinion.
This anime, unfortunately wont be as enjoyed by those who aren't seeking in their life what this anime offers emotionally (Particularly the good parts.) (Again my opinion).

Most of the popular anime are based on action (Fullmetal Alchemist) or suspense(Psycho Pass). This, I started watching it because of its name. The name was really different.
I'm really glad that I saw it. It is a beautiful anime, that expresses a lot of feelings most of us can't express in words. All emotions, whether happy or sad, have been expressed really beautifully.
There are a lot of things that I feel and I never knew how I could express them. I'm sure there will be a lot of you who feel the same, but you won't know because I still can't express them in words. But knowing that they can be expressed in other forms really makes me feel better.
If you watch it with subtitles, do keep your speakers on. There is a lot of music in the show that makes the show extremely special.
Do watch.

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.
Your Lie In April is really a very interesting anime which will make you imagine with anxiety of what would happen next.It revolves around the life of piano prodigy Arima Kousei whose life takes a turn after his mother's death who is not able to play piano any further.
But his life takes another Topsy turvy turn after he meets a brilliant violinist Kaori Miyavano who helps Arima in overcoming his dark past and the way through which he does it is really amazing.The emotions and the friendship,love as well as the quotes which they both share is really amazing and a pleasure to watch.
While Kaori helps Arima in overcoming his past, she is also suffering from her own problems and for sure this anime will make your eyes teary. Along with the great plot and story, this anime also has great music in it and the character development of Arima is surely amazing and very very mature. Hence guys i would surely recommend this anime if you are interested in romantic as well as school anime,as people you are surely missing an amazing story and a wonderful yet sad journey.
