Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (Your Lie in April) is a romantic-drama anime where the star-crossed main characters are musicians; a boy haunted by his past and a girl with a bleak future.
I have almost no words to describe how well written this anime is; blending in different dramatic stories into one big plot makes the anime thrilling while being very emotional for the audience. The general plot is about talented musicians trying to surpass their life-changing problems while using their music to express the depth of their feelings.
Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso combines: a main character with a haunted past; his parent's death's weight on his shoulders; his passion for music though his past cripples him; his love for a fellow musician who brought him back to his feet only to leave his side due to a twist of fate. I love how the author mixes in key elements and ideas of drama to form something much more dramatic-romantic while remaining unified and coherent. Topping it off with excellent art and music, surely anyone who would watch the whole series would be taking a feels trip on a feels train to feelsville.
(spoiler alert)
Shigatsu wa Kimi no uso is is a really good romance-drama anime overall --- no kidding; but if I could find one fault, it's that no one --- I repeat no one --- wants an anime where 2 lovers don't have a happily ever after (Guilty Crown, RosarioxVampire, I'm looking at you) but I think the ending was written as a final kick in the feels for the viewers. I enjoyed this series, and I hope you will too :)
Comments very much appreciated :)
