(#41) Your Lie in April S1 (2014) - [8/10]

Sample Premise.

A piano prodigy who lost his ability to play after suffering a traumatic event in his childhood is forced back into the spotlight by an eccentric girl with a secret of her own.

How would I describe this show in one word?

Sample word.

Note Probably one of the more realistic and touching anime out there.

Review Your Lie In April deals with a young, fallen pianist who starts to rediscover joy and love in life after his moms death when he meets a free-spirited violinist. Comprising of 22 episodes, this anime is filled with beautiful classical music, romantically poetic narratives and aesthetically pleasing animation. It’s the total package for rom-com fans. But mind you, this show will make your heart ache and eyes fill up right from the very beginning, with a bitter sweet climax by the end. I personally loved this one, inspite of my general dislike and lack of interest in romance oriented shows and films. But I'll still be watching Clannad soon just to find out what makes it great. Nevertheless, I'd give this beauty of a show… RATING: 8/10
