#YOUR LIE IN APRIL LIVE ACTION RATING SERIES#

While it aims to keep the mood more balanced and light-hearted, it ruins the moment and is completely distracting. However, “Your Lie in April” does suffer from tonal issues. Every important and serious moment is almost immediately interrupted with chibi characters and humour. I understand her motives, and why she feels the way she does.


I enjoyed every episode that was dedicated to her, because I feel her character is the most fleshed out and realistic, even if it makes her the most “normal”. This is mostly apparent with Tsubaki- Kousei’s childhood friend. Almost every character is interested in someone that isn’t interested in them back. It’s also a touching story that gets incredibly depressing (You probably saw this one coming).Īs much as the theme is about music, it’s also about the relationships and unrequited love. The anguish and despair he faces, coming to terms with loss and finding his place in the world is something most people can relate to. What got me hooked on the series though, was Kousei’s journey of self acceptance and discovery. The backgrounds and visuals are captivating~ I particularly love their lighting and parallax effects (also featured on the main-menu) I’m constantly in awe! A-1 Pictures has done an excellent job on the animation. What initially attracted me to this series was the gorgeous art-style found typically in shoujo-manga (Look at those sparkly eyes!) I was pretty surprised to hear this one’s actually a shounen (There is no fan-service what-so-ever.
