Your lie in April

Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (aka Your Lie in April), an anime that will stay in my heart forever. No matter how many times I watch this it always brings me to tears. It's not about the romance, it's not about the love for music, it's about the effects of PTSD, the chronic illness, the child abuse...the effects they have, how they twist people. No, the creators don't put any beauty to these. The beauty lies in how you will learn how to heal, how to move forward despite the struggles you went through, how to learn to take the first step towards greatness (whatever that is). This is reality not over-drama as I heard from some. PTSD exist and so everything else. How you are going to move on is UP TO YOU! Each character has its own depth and you will realize it once you start watching it. That being said, the story moves slow but it's not boring at all. It is very pleasant to watch. The truth at the end is painful and makes you think how short life can be if you don't enjoy every moment of it.

The artwork is colorful and amazing. It shows how alive these characters feel, yet how much they hide inside themselves. Their expressions show the emotions. There are many scenes of symbolism that will take your breath away.

If you are a fan of classical music then this anime is a MUST for you to watch. You can hear the passion the characters put when they play, the despair they fall into...it's their moment. The background music matches the emotions perfectly on every scene, emotions you are going to feel deep.

If you have checked my profile you will see that I put enough high ratings on some anime. It's not because I do it randomly, it's because I was just satisfied watching them. Yes, even 10/10 but many of them aren't on my favorites list. They were missing something, but that something wasn't bad enough for me to reduce my ratings. What that is don't ask me. I can't explain it. This anime though deserves a gold star and not just 100/100. It gives you something more than satisfaction. It's a masterpiece that shows you how some people come for a short period in our lives, yet they can change us forever. Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso will satisfy you both visually and aurally.
