Why does nobody ever talk about Kosei having like the most neglecting father ever
That's why Anohana stump this anime..
Yes, it's a major oversight in this series.
@@janchovanec8624 exactly.
@@marylynneheitman4836 Right? I love both Anohanna and April, but the anime industry is getting kind of old using an "orphan" trope. I get it's effective in making us fools emotional, but I pray we can get something else from time to time.
@@janchovanec8624 I agree. I watch so many sad anime movies and series that are supposed to make me cry, but don't. The only ones the have made me cry are Your Name and A Silent Voice. Orphanage is sad, but after awhile it gets old.
Did it reach her?
-Yes, when she was 5 years old and she never let it go.
yes, she is dead, thx god dat cringe story is over
@@Frukt7 wut?
@@Frukt7 Simply, get the hell out
Bro 😢😢😢😢
I cried in april.
;-;
ron josh I can't even count how many times I cried
We all did, my friend.
I finished it today, last day of April. My eyes are dehydrated.
me too for more than 1 reason
When the anime goes as far as properly animating the musicians properly playing, you know it's gonna be good.
killer slowpoke as someone whos played piano for 10 years that was nice for me.
When an anime puts more effort into showing characters playing their instruments believably than _live action_ TV shows ever do…
dgw *cough *cough *insert country* got talent
But sometimes they just showed them paused
Half True, but I found Tons of average animated series, which subconsciously affects the Viewer, and before you know it it's an 'unsung hero' of a series in your head.
I'm a simple man, when I see Your Lie in April, I cry and then click the like button.
sean li and cry
it's still hilarious when it was translated into English. XSWL
I liked this comment, and then I cried.
I am not a simple man
I watched your lie in April and subscribed
Your feels in april
no im not licking you
you became depressed because of an anime in april
@@Syazth Sounds about right.
And its April
Your Tears In April
Your lie in April was a beautiful masterpiece that I will never forget.
Cesar Rivera Music is a masterpiece of many faces, and conceived by even more in our minds eye. It's how we envision and share this picture to others that this music can bloom and flourish in New ways vastly different than it's original, and yet still reminiscent of its predecessor. The world needs new songs, and new composers to show them and new performers to make their emotions felt. I have been consumed by the beauty of this music and I never intend on going back... it is as if I'm listening to the voice of God
Cesar Rivera The music was. The series was rather predictable and I didn't even read one spoiler. I could tell she was gonna die, it's how these shows work, so the show was okay, but definitely not a great anime. Clannad in the other hand, is a masterpiece. Would definitely recommend it.
Cesar Rivera same. A show has never made me cry that many times or that hard before. Its one of my favorite shows ever (beat by FMAB).
King Of Africa I really don't see how predictability counts into how well made the anime was. I believe we could all tell how it was going to end.
Personally this predictability made the ending hurt more as even I was desperately hoping for a soap opera-esque deus ex machina to occur.
Then again, I can't argue that Clannad wasn't a masterpiece lol.
At first I thought it was cliche, but then I grew to love it. I ended up being a sucker for the romance and drama and I have to say it made me really sad
I've realized that shorter animes are the best animes, I mean shonen long animes are not bad but I enjoy short animes better. But when they end I become depressed and want another season.
that's my feels on anime
Usually because shorter animes are well planned to fit in the given slot so they're structured well and can relay a more structured and in effect, enjoyable experience. Long running shonen animes can't do that because they have to keep running forward. It's really hard to structure 800 episodes of story properly while maintaining all elements in an equilibrium, and also that when it gets that long, there will inevitably be repetitiveness and crushing low points.
You just described my life.
*how do you do it?*
I know right lol
Lee Jaden I didn’t like the ending 1 because it made me cry 2 because it left a lot of holes like what happens to everyone else?
I want to forget it but
I can't press the reset button
there's no reset button for me
They'll come out of the anime world and haunt us if that ever happened.
U cant press the reset button bcs u never forget bcs it reached u
I'll press the reset button to watch this masterpiece again. I've watched this 2 years from now and still haven't forgot it.
Gu6est Honestly I don’t want to watch it again cause I will keep on remembering it for a while.
Me: You can't make a love story without the tropes of the first "I love you" or the fateful first kiss.
Your Lie in April: Hold my beer.
Should be: Hold my bow, because I can't :'-(
love story? where?
@@Milamberinx Yass
Now I feel like a freak for not shedding a single tear or feeling sad at all.
Let's play two truths and a lie.
1) This anime turned me into an emotional wreck
2) The soundtrack is amazing
3) Kaori likes Watari
LIES
Oml 😂
LMAO
I’m an emotional wreck from this and Wolf Children ;-;
Lnd faink k marunga Khandan pregnant ho jaega
did you jUST-
I just got my heart shattered after the ending. So now you know. Even gods shed tears
Yato I have five yen, now bring season 3 to me.
And Devils too
Yato, lets make a deal....30 yen for season 3,4,5,6,7 and 8.....and it better not be a GOT

This anime made my eyes
*Watari*
Ok I’ll take my leave now
Did u really think that kaori loves watari just askin cuz im still curious about it even tho i finished watching it
@@ivan-xj2bu that was the lie.
COMMIT SEPPUKU! COMMIT SEPPUKU! COMMIT SEPPUKU! COMMIT SEPPUKU!
(Lol, it's a Gintama reference sorry)
no, just no. You cant, f u
(jk)
@@moon-lo8ic commit seppuku but listen me.

Do you think you can ever forget?
Hell no.
bad j don't hit the forget button
Amon Thompson i wont
bad j i almost want to because now im depressed
I will never forget this anime(;
I will never hit the reset button
Just finished this anime... Binged the entire thing in 1 day....Best anime i seen in a really long time.... Straight up outclassed EVERYTHING from last year.
Samme pls send help 😂
bro i did this and im having a hard time getting over it... i guess you can say i cant press the reset button
Same I was just watching romance anime while I was preparing for Oregairu season 3 but after watching this I don’t even have the energy to see anything else. I’ve seen like 7 different anime’s during quarantine but this beat everything else
@@weluhja413 Im in the same boat tbh. I watched this anime and lost the energy to watch other anime.
This may sound weird, but in the end of Your Lie in April, I cried tears; happy tears... sad tears... or mad tears?? IDK JUST SO MANY FEELS!!! But at the last ten minutes of the series I burst out in tears because I felt _guilty_. Even though Kourie isn't a real person, I felt guilty because she died without having a chance to live her life, and near the end she started to live her life the way she wanted because she knew she was going to die soon. She takes risks because she knows that her life is coming to an end! That made me cry mostly sad tears. But then a few minutes later I cried guilty tears (is that a thing???) because I'm a hermit binge watching anime and not putting myself out there and living life to the fullest, when Kourie barely had a chance to do just that... in short, it literally made me realize how precious my life is. And that I shouldn't try to become famous or be know around the world for curing cancer or something, but that I should enjoy life, not for anyone else, but for _me_, and that I should live my life and take risks because I only have *one* to live. Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can tell, I really enjoyed this anime, maybe even a little too much! 😂 That's what made it so different than other drama or tradedgy anime! I can't even put it into a genre! But thanks for reading my pointless comment, bye now! 🤗
Daisy Bloomz I laughed while crying cause that's the only way I could cope with the sadness
The whole anime was amazing, but the ending was really something special. One of the things I really enjoyed was the show's use of symbolism for establishing certain motifs, like how the cat symbolized Kosei's inability to move forward, manifested in his not being able to play, and once he moves past that, it starts to symbolize the conflicting feelings he has about the person that helped him move past his trauma. I've never seen a series take the approach to storytelling that this series has, and I loved every minute of it. I've heard Anohana does similar things, so I'm excited to see what that has in store for me.
Try Darling in the franxx
I swear I just finished this anime and I'm in tears, i can't breathe it's too much....i want to live life now knowing how i should decide to live life to the fullest before it's too late, before it all ends
Agreeing with this comment, I need to go out and live life to the fullest!
Proceeds to look for another “your lie in April” show to binge watch
Being a music major in university, it was quite easy picking up how the music was different or progressed.
Yea they did a pretty good job. I quite liked their renditions of the songs in the soundtrack
really? i'm kinda envy, i don't understand anything as all, good for you guy
My oldest friend is a music major and while I'm not nearly as good as him he's much more suited to orchestras and more classical while I'm more light hearted and try to have fun with it.
you need to try hibike euphonium then
music major?
no offense but you should major in something useful and take music as a secondary.
The performances game me chills, definitely one of my favourites

Me to and I watch over 50 anime’s and it’s number 1
Same here all the way

That moment when you remember Kaori sing *Twinkle Twinkle Little Star* in English and it immediately ruined your ears.
Indonesia yesss XD
Indonesia they should never speak English

Honestly I was laughing when I heard her sing it... I regret it now
Hi I'm A Potato why
Been waiting for this one! Love the new intro too ^^
ikr!! :)
Didn't expect you to be here! Why don't you do a cover of Hikaru Nara :DD
Same I loved this anime and hoped he would do a review at some time
Really, I think the last intro was better...
This is literally the exact comment I was going to leave
10:30 the song you have in the backround is exactly what does that for me though
it's loves sorrow for me, I spent a 6 weeks learning to play it ( I'm not that a good) but God that song gets to me.
MIne is "Watashi no Uso" /"My Lie". the ost played when Kousei reads Kaori's letter
What's the name?
Song track: Yuujin A-kun wo Watashi no Bansousha ni Ninmeishimasu
+Kili Gram SPOILER
Just found out this series in the past weeks. Binge-watched all of it. I'm usually none for "slice of life" setting animes, but this one grabbed me and didn't let me go. It helped that I'm a musician currently prepping for a concert and that I'm in character quite similar to Kousei.
And rare? Boy, you haven't even touched on one of the most rare parts of this. It deals with the the death of people and how people deal with it. Haven't seen that in these kind of anime... like at all.
U mustve never seen Naruto, fullmetal Alchemist, or One Piece
+THE BLACK RAIKAGE
Those shows have death, but they don't really deal with it as a theme. Simply having death doesn't make a work tragic, otherwise call of duty could be called an immensely tragic story, rather, dealing with death and how such things as the prospect of death and terminal illness affects people, as well as how they develop from such tragedies and move forward is actually very rare. Even rarer to see it done well, and this show does it wonderfully. I also really liked how the tragedy of the series didn't rely on the surprise of it happening. The foreshadowing gives you enough to come to conclusions on what will happen, but often makes you question those conclusions. The tragedy of the series relies on seeing the story and watching the foreshadowing become a reality, and how the characters respond to it, although, that's just one of the many things that this show did to achieve tragedy.
A lot of the shows you mentioned either didn't present the deaths well, had characters quickly forget about them, or simply evaded the subject of how those events impacted the character. Those shows rarely make the people feel real to me, and so I don't often find myself getting invested in what happens to the characters.
Daniel Hounshell good point
Daniel Hounshell not that I disagree with what your saying. But Naruto definitely portrayed how death affects someone and how they deal with it. Like there are too many to name. Jaraiya. Asuma. Those are some of the best examples that come to mind. It’s just that this is a 22 episode anime, so you can recall each detail a lot easier. I naruto you have to stretch the details over hundreds of episodes, so sometimes some things can get lost inside of it, but it’s still there. In fact, you get to see how the trauma of deaths actually affects them long after the fact, and how it shaped how characters developed. But still, I can agree that this show definitely portrays the theme a lot better, given that’s mostly all there is too it, not that that’s a bad thing.
"I wonder if it reached her"
Fuck wondering about it, he should have reached her before she died , and told her how much he loved her. Instead she was with her crying in the snow and couldn't get himself to do anything. This show pissed me off.
@@king-manu2758 she already knew he loved her
@@marrowyoutube ye fire fly scene
Guys please don't read the comments they'll spoil the ending for you
So far no one has spoiled the ending
+gamer33XD just be careful
The ending is spoiled after you read the title of the show
***** Only after you have watched the entire show tho...
Spoiler alert Shinji Starts the third impact
Want to know a cool Easter egg? At 1:57 you can see Kaori diagonally to Tsubaki
That's cool! But didn't Kaori mentioned that the girl next to her (Emi) cried suddenly? Why is a guy sitting next to her lol
Dale Flores I'm late but those were 2 different occasions
the ending really hurt
Yeah. I’ll never forget it
I was actually sad the self-centered bitch Kaori didn't die sooner.
Alexandre Martins omg I thought I was evil but I’m not the only one
@@alexandresobreiramartins9461 I don't think she was self centred as she knew she had little time to live and therefore tried to make the most of her life, as you saw at the end during the letter we realise she was actually quite an introvert before the anime began
@@mariogeorgiev3085 yes ty :)
ITS JUST AN ANIME
ITS JUST AN ANIME
ITS JUST AN ANIME
KAORI:')
Also me: cries for a week straight after it
Ur evil man
When I watched the end, I started crying mid episode 21 and couldn’t stop until half an hour after the end of the last episode
Good!
kido
roof to scene man..
oh my god
LIPS
WHY DO THE LIPS LOOK SO LUSCIOUS AAAAAHHHH
hahaha I love it, it's a good change in anime having lips :D
erased mom lips
ricky contreras
well except that, its quite unusual for an anime to have lips in them
I know I hated it lol it was awkward and ugly tbh znoolz momrik
ricky contreras
oh I liked it :)
I don't see this issue brought up very often, but I feel like the show needs a bit more "show don't tell." Whenever there is any sort of metaphor or callback, it cuts back to previous footage. I constantly found myself saying: "Yes show, I remember that that happened, I got the reference."
You're goddamn right.
Only 3 years late, but completely agree. There are so many flashbacks. Sometimes it's okay to just trust the audience to remember stuff.
Totally agree, it did also have some issues in terms of storytelling after (spoiler alert) Kaori went to the hospital. I still loved it however....
this anime will always stay with me. I've watched this series around 5 times and I've cried every time, I connect with this show on a very personal level. It was my first anime and and at the time of watching it I was becoming suicidal, this anime made me want to make a difference in other people's lives and made me realize just how much I was forsaking the one person that was there for me who was and still is very sick, my father.
You good now?
You better now?
2 years without answer.
Hopefully not.
So when are you reviewing 'Your beats in Anohana Memories: After-story'?
that'd be the saddest thing in existence...

This anime turned me into an emotional wreck for a week after I finished it. To me, it's perfect.
finally committed to watching it. finished it in 2days.. 😃😊😀😁☺😐😌😮😔😟😞💗😢😭💔 that about sums it up.
I finished it in just 11hours
Saint Yimmi I finished thay shxt inba day
Bruh, it's like 7 hours total. I can't even manage to do that lmao!
Nice emoji review hahaha
Yeah me too
Wow I feel like you've put way more passion in this GR than the previous one :)
Exactly what I noticed. Well, not that I thought his last review was passionless though. And the best part about this one was that even though there was a lot of passion behind it, I never felt a cringe coming on.
I suspect this show affected him a lot more strongly.
I could only get to like episode 6. It was trying to hard to be dramatic and the drama that it was trying to show wasn't to my taste too because I feel like I've seen it enough times.
believe me i thought so too but you have to watch it all to really get it.
i think around episode 10 i really started to understand it
its definitely nothing like I've seen before, the message is very unique, but maybe it doesn't get across in the early episodes
+yourguardianangel I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
I agree with yourguardianangel, I was pretty bored through the first 7-8 episodes (still loved the music though), but the story really starts to pick up steam around episode 10-11 and from that point on I was absolutely hooked. It became one of my all time favorite shows
yuraCORF exactly at the start i was kind of like what is this slice of life with a bit of drama/trauma bs...it was kind of hard to get through. but goddamn was it worth it. and rewatching it just makes you understand the first half better and enjoy it
+yourguardianangel Im watching honey and clover right now and the slow slice of life pace in the first half is similar. Took awhile but it does build up steam.
I really liked this show, and I really felt bad for Tsubaki the entire show. The ending didnt really hit me as hard as I wouldve liked, primarily due to the fore shadowing, knew it was coming from like episode 3. But overall it was a touching, moving and UPLIFTING show that id recommend to anyone with a beating heart!
When i first watched the show tsubaki just annoyed me cause i thought she was in between kaori and kousei but on my second watching i kinda feel bad for her and see why she acts the way she does
How did you saw it coming from episodes 3 ??
That's why it's Dissapointing, I mean it's nothing like 'I want to eat your pancreas' movie, despite having the same Premis, ... it was already clear early on that Korie had lil time, so why waste it on pushing a traumatised MC, instead they should have shown her past more than even the MC, cuz she is the main heroin after Four eyes pianist right? ...The span of episodes already prepared the audience for her death, but the series still didn't emphasized her more than others, her n MCs growth was too faint for regrets
...The series is very less organic, first MC is forces by mother n Then by Kaori lol, but then suddenly other side characters started playing a bigger role in MCs growth.., and the feels got messed up, ... This story focused on MC so much that it made the Lead heroines mere side characters for a good amount of Episodes.. ...untill the last 2 episodes where their relationship actually got serious but by then it was too late.. Since feelings are all over the place.. It didn't made me feel bad for any character... Except maybe Kaori? cuz it's not very clear to me if she died, cuz many fans say no one died, ..and the MC didn't cried like he should if she really died.
I m very dissapointed with this series, cuz it really had immense potential.. Sigh*
@@ska4666 Dude, did we watch the same show? This doesn't sound like it. o.O
To be honest, the shadow of her sickness and the blade of death are on her since the first scene on the playground in episode one. The first introduction of her makes it pretty clear, that she is suffering. She's already exhausted playing music with the kids on the playground. Therefore, it is pretty clear from the beginning, that she has to deal with something serious. What hits that hard, and gives you hope throughout the series is that, despite her own awareness that she might leave soon, again and again, they give some glimpses of hope for her. Countless times, she comes back after a seizure. Time after time she manages to get back to the ones she loves and finally the bright ray of hope, when she decides to undergo a risky surgery. That last bit of believe in luck. It gives hope to the audience, hope to the characters themselfes. Just to be ultimately smashed into pieces by the very last performance of the show. The short cuts to the medical equipment of which the last one showed her pulse going low... her appearance and well... I can't type it anymore...
After having it sit idle for a long time on my watchlist, I binged it completely yesterday, starting from afternoon until late in the night... It crushed me, made me into a fucking ball, lying in my bed and I cried myself to sleep last night. This is a show, and those are characters I won't forget for a long, long time...
It is strange. Those shows regularly make me a mess, despite being not really an emotional person. I love and hate those shows at the same time. I want and don't want to watch more of those. It's cruel, heartwarming and heartcrushing at the same time...
This show was magical.
If a anime makes me cry, then I know it’s good.
rofl. fucking crying kids.
What if it’s an anime you’re crying over because you’re forced to watch it when it’s super low quality?
"You're like a cat. If I get close, you'll ignore me and go far away. If I get hurt, you'll play around to share the pain."
-RIP Miyazono Kaori
I just finished watching it. I'm a guy and I can't lie, I got teary eyed.
Random Geek Stuff teary eyed?? boy, I went through half a box of tissues
Random Geek Stuff I never actually cried watching anything, that's just me, but damn I had to hold it on the last episode, I forced myself, maybe this could have been the first time if I didn't do it.... who knows
abdussamad syed And he’s a REAL MAN!!!
Igor Corrêa ahh yep...i Forced myself too..just got watery eyes...but didn't cry. I bet if kousei would have cried after reading letter i could not have resisted for sure.
Bro do watch anohana that's a real challenge where i actually lost miserably
Gender doesn't matter man.
Your Lie in April is the very first and only movie/show that has made me cry
Dyslexic Batnam Guilty Crown was my first and now your lie in April 😭
Silent voice was my first then anohana now this
At yes, the "Fault in Our Stars" of anime.
And just like the Fault in Our Stars, it's badly written trash people give more credit than it deserves.
I feel like someone may be overreacting just a tad.
Exaggerations are just part of the youtube comment section. I don't actually hate this show(I think it's overhyped and bad-to-mediocre), but I do hate the Fault in Our Stars.
Truth bomb right here.
Green Chaos That's entirely fair enough, but I think this show is at least mediocre, perhaps painfully so, in review, but as an experience, I at least, deeply enjoyed it.
The fault in our stars is trash tho lmao
10:30 For me, that's the song that summarizes the whole series, the characters' development, starting to bloom like flowers, the bittersweet ending, everything. That track and the quote "Music is freedom".
This show made me cry for multiple hours, I don’t cry often
Your passion for anime is op af man... Salute to you
Certainly not the greatest series of last year, but damn that soundtrack gets me every time. Just listening to it in the background of this review makes me want to watch the series again.
Same! Not the biggest fan but the music hits me in the feels, not necessarily related to the series, but just in life in general
Parasyte the maxim was the best of the 2014-15 But Your Lie in April was great too at least for me it's the 2nd best
Really??
I throughly enjoyed it... goes to show that many things are relative in terms of entertainment. I think this is one of my favorite animes in a long time.
Artyforpeace I liked it because of the feelings of the anime since it would make me cry so much in the end of the series, and it made me feel like how I was watching Clannad and After Story
Lies your lie in April will always be best animu
I just finished watching ''Your Lie In April'' and I don't know how to recover from it ! it was absolutely brilliant..
I agree please talk to me i finished it now im so sadd
Just watch Konosuba or some other comedy anime, i recovered from watching comedy anime atleast
Its been almost 7 years now. It will forever be a masterpiece
Maaaaaan. I clicked on "Your Lie in April" cause I heard some pretty good things. Wasn't expecting to bawl my eyes out by episode 13.
It took me an episode and a half to adjust to the artstyle, but this anime was superb.
Westy i absolutely loved the style from the very start.
Ar first glance, especially when new to anime, the characters' eyes made them look alien and freaky. But I got used to it quickly and now it makes every other anime style pale in comparison.
At least they have lips.
Lips rules
I love the animation its anime yet a bit more realistic
Love this anime, rewatched it because of how post-college life has gone recently. I lost interest in teaching because of a rough internship that I barely was able to complete and dreaded. I was also put on a waitlist for a teaching position which was my goal for the last 5 years. I thought I'd never teach again and found a sense of scorn towards it. I have picked myself back up and have applied for another teaching position in Japan. I find myself being able to relate to this anime and appreciate it much more.
Why is this anime so great?? Even after almost 2 years if I see a picture or a video I just get sad... The lie was too beautiful 😭😭😭😭
The OST you are talking about always brings me to the part when both of the main characters are riding on the bike, staring at the star-streaked sky. Truly beautiful.
Will you please watch/ review the series AO HARU RIDE. I would sincerely like to hear your opinion on it. It's a personal favorite but I really want to hear what you think about it.
No recommendation for Clannad After Story? Surprising.
IKR hehe ;)
He wants viewers with an intact soul.
he doesn't want his to get sued for causing depression LOL.
Are you nuts? That's like recommending someone to walk over a mine field!
AnoHana is the better pick of the two. It has a similar theme, with grieving over a lost person.
This anime left me broken, I cried in April, May, June, July and every time I see this anime .
This was the first anime that I suggested to my mom to watch (she was in her mid 50's at the time). My mom watches shows on Netflix and such, so is familiar with digital viewing, but she is NOT a binge watcher. I watched the first few episodes with her, to help give context and a mindset to view the series in, things that otaku take as second nature, then let her experience it on her own. She ended up binging the later half of the series in a day, breaking down crying at the end. I'd like to think it opened her eyes to what anime can do and be.
Just clicking on this video gave me a lump in my throat.
Same bro 💔💔
The songs "Loves Sorrow" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" Will be those songs that make me recall the moments from the show.
I loved the end.
I cried. ;~;
I don't know, I tend to care less for a character I know is going to die.
Owen Kok I didn't think her death was necessary
Indeed, but still. It was a good ending
dont spoil it. some people havent watched it yet
Owen Kok Same
Being someone who has studied piano one thing I think this show hit the target on was how your brain wanders while you’re performing. Once you’ve practiced something enough your mind tends to wander and you seldom remember playing/singing.
It was great for me. I really liked this show!
I finally got to watching the show today cause I was sick and didn’t go to school and I ended up watching all 22 episode in one day and i have to say I have not been attached to a group of characters in a long time and I am glad that I watched it I would give it a 10/10👍🏿
Twinkle twinkle little star (cries)
No it's :
Twinkeru, twinkeru, rirru star,
How I wanda wachu are
+TedXter omg XD
+TedXter thats lecist
+Frank P. Lol
How dare you?! 😭😭 no why you do that for?! We all know what happens in the end..
Thank you so much for the recommendation at the end. I've been looking for a show that focuses more on the music rather than the drama and thanks to you I found Nodame. I'd never have found out about it without you. You're the best :)
Awesome new editing choices and desins for the video Arkada. Getting better everytime.
I CRIED SOOOOO MUCH IN YOUR LIE IN APRIL!!!!!😭
I'm shook! Why why why why why why did it end the way it did
Because any other ending would feel wrong and ignore it's themes of letting go
I'm actually bitter about the ending. Not satisfied at all.
it ended the way it is because of the title ,
if you think about it the ending made the show as good as it was
Unfortunately, it ended the way it did for the exact reason related to you comment...to grab us and make sure we were all invested in it.
I won’t lie, I binge watched this on a whim, while my family was away....This year has been terrible, and not just for the crap around the globe, but with them away, I can’t tell you how much more it made me miss them.
I don’t know how people could watch this twice though...nor do I need too. They did a fantastic job and this one will be with me for a long while.
The alternate anime recommendations are a really cool touch to your videos. Your Lie in April is incredible. It does have sadness, extreme sadness, but overwhelming joy too. I first watched it subbed, loved it and then showed it to my mum and partner dubbed and loved it equally.
This is an outstanding video, a work of art in and of itself. Thank you, it's been quite some time since I saw this anime and watching your video brought back all those touching and powerful emotions I had felt for it back then. I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry a little. Thanks again and please keep up the great work.
Oh my God I'm late but it's about time
Loved the opening so much! Felt I didn't need to know much about music to feel the differences in performance but the reaction of the characters did assist me in confirming what I felt...Did it have its flaws? Of course. But despite its flaws, I thought it was a beautiful story and I thoroughly enjoyed the journey.
I second the recommendations for both AnoHana and Nodame Cantabile!!!! They are fantastic!! Would also greatly recommend Kids on the Slope (Sakamichi no Apollon)
yeah I totally feel you, the story for me took me and a really interesting journey and a lot of emotions being told q_q I cri evry tim
where are the subtitles
Geez, you've sent me on quite an emotional journey. I watched your 2015 top 10 animé suggestions video, which brought me to "Your Lie In April," (even though it was a blind suggestion). And it hooked me so fast, I finished it just a couple days. And, now I'm a mess... but, I regret nothing. This show has launched itself into my favorite animes if all time, and I have you to thank. You, my kind sir, have earned yourself not only a new subscriber, but also a fan. Looking forward to watching more of your videos, and suggestions! Thank you for making videos on UA-cam :)
How much big eyes of a character can grow?
You Lie in April : Yes.
I will rewatch this anime every April. I rewatched it starting on April 1st and watched 1 episode a day every day until the final episode on April 22nd seeing as it has 22 episodes. And of course, I cried my eyes out all over again. Takes a lot to make me cry but this series makes me cry. Anohana made me cry so much, too. I cried almost every episode after the first few episodes. Cried so much for days on end after the final episode, especially. I plan to rewatch it again this summer and cry all over again lol.
I always love your theatrics and how you approached covering this charmingly bittersweet series. I am so proud with how you handled this review, so emotionally charged and thought provoking and one which returned all those nostalgic and inspirational feelings in me
I'm so happy that you finally reviewed this one! I have been waiting for this for so long!
Your Lie in April made me cry more than Assassination Classroom.
Like Kousei said
I will never forget you
That’s what I think of this anime
No reset button
No forgetting
No regret
This anime made me cry like a little boy. It’s very touching and the visuals are amazing.
I have been with this channel since i was 12, still love it to bits, keep up the awesome work!
Bro. The background music is making me want to cry. That song brings ALL the emotions up
Please review Akatsuki no Yona (Yona of the Dawn). It's amazing.
If you've seen it then why do you need a review?
Clearly they're curious what Arkada's thoughts are on the show.
+Andrew Poll There's a few person who watched a show's review :
-Those who haven't watched (and probably haven't heard about it) and want to know whether it's worth their time to watch
-Those who has heard about the series, from the haters or fanboys/girls - and want to know the truth about the show - or at least understand if the series rises in a conversation
-Those who have watched the show, and wanted to know whether the reviewer agrees / disagrees to their opinion regarding the show - or if they missed an experience within the show
+Andrew Poll Because people like to hear opinions from other people on things they like, especially if it's a person whose opinion they respect? It's not that complicated or strange.
Season 2, never. :'(
was looking for a light review on the anime, first time I've seen Glass Reflection. I found this presentation very interesting. very very well done.
Hi Glass Reflection.
Back in 2017, I first saw this anime and it made me so emotional that I came online and searched if someone talked about it. And I found you. Your words resonated so deeply with me that I downloaded your review of Your Lie In April and occasionally watched it.
Then, life happened. I did high school, college, went through a lot in life. And kind of forgot your channel and anime in general. After all these years, I remembered Your Lie In April and first thing came to my mind is "Glass Refection".
I was so nervous that maybe I wouldn't find you anymore. But seeing you even after 7 years, doing what you do best made my day.
I'm so happy to see you again. Take Love
I can't believe it took me until 2021 to watch it. Beautiful story.
i feel like you skipped over a few things like when kousei has to teach that girl and also perforn with her and that little arc for me made the middle a bit boring because it was just randomly adding a character it was an okay little arc but not amazing anyway i loved this review and in spite of what i said it was very fun sad and visualy beautiful and the music was amazing so i cant complain
also i do feel only kousei tsubaki and airi had development which isnt a bad thing but would have liked more from the supporting cast like the other dude freind who felt a bit like a plot devise the other competitors were awesome though
YES oh my goodness the little girl kousei taught was pointless and added barely anything to the show. Just Lolicon bait lol
Kamina The Lad Honestly I felt like Watari who was supposed to be one of the main characters did not get enough development. I felt like they began to slightly touch upon his character but then just left him behind. The supporting cast which I do agree could have used a little more love felt like they were more touched upon then Watari.
Kamina The Lad plotwise, i believe that teaching that girl helped kousei mature, especially while kaori was at hospital. she was like, a motive for him to play. not to mention that, their performance together was what helped kaori try to dream again. id agree though, that arc was kinda boring for me as well
yugiohaddictedfan7 I hadn't thought of it like that your explanation makes a lot of sense while i still feel compared to the rest of the story this was the weakest part i now realise it had more meaning than i first thought thanks :D
Glad I finally got around to watching this. Great review, appreciate the time you put into these videos.
I havent watches one of Arkadas Videos in a year. Your still just as amazing as always!
Hey Ark did you feel at any point that the age of the characters was a detriment to the show. Dont get me wrong i bloody loved this show but somehow i feel that drama could hve been more compelling if the charecters were say university aged. but maybe thats just me projecting i dunno.
No I kind of agree, the being middle school students did seem kinda strange
+Brian Deleon them*
Ya, ik there's young progidies but I still felt like they gave them too much talent and maturity for their age.
Thats sort of how i felt at times that the characters emotions were almost disingenuous because of that.
No, I feel the same! I mean, there are always geniuses, but come on! Barely any middle schooler is that mature, and all the friggin cast acted like adults! It wasn't even just the geniuses. Maybe that's why I didn't like this series. Too much tragedy, angst, romantic problems and overall heavy drama for the age they were
That musical chair analogy was beautiful.
The fact GR said only a few original tracks stuck out to him is still wild to me even after 7 years, because this anime's original OST lives rent free in my head.
Coming from a musical background definitely helped me enjoy this show more than I think non-musicians would. Being a classical pianist myself, the characters' experiences with their peers, song choices, teachers, family, etc. were extraordinarily relatable. It was easy to appreciate the attention to detail and had I not grown up with music being such a big part of my life, YLIA wouldn't have held the same meaning.
To this day still one of the best anime ever made. Perfect adaptation of the manga and the rare case when the English Dub is better then the Sub. Truly a masterpiece
I agree with that 100%
This show was so good
You're so eloquent in the way you explain anime things. My man.
i couldnt find you in my subscriptions at all then im like i swear i subbed... but im glad i found you again!!
I just finished this anine.
I will surely be emotional wrecked for the next week.
