First intro song was way better.
And I don't like where things are going. ;_;

But anyways, is anyone else reminded of another similar (and more mature) romantic/music-themed show, White Album 2? 'Cause I am, and this show makes me wish a season 2 for White Album 2 will come.
I need something to watch, so I'm gonna give that one a try then. I watched Kids on the Slope a few weeks back and that was also a really nice (but a bit too short) music-themed anime.
I am fairly new to watching anime (watched my first one just a few months back) and between this, KotS and Beck I am really enjoying the music ones.

White Album 2 is 13 episodes long and deals more with the romance than it does with the music, though the music/songs played are still fairly enjoyable. But regardless I'd say go for it, it's a good (imo great) show nonetheless.
It's a fantastic show. Although be warned the tone is significantly different than Your Lie in April, steel your heart.
finally caught up on the manga, seems like it's ending in 2 more chapters?
sad to see this end so quickly

Source for that? Because I don't think that's the case.
This show is good, but god, the slapstick comedy really hurts this show. Particularly because they play the physical and emotional abuse part straight, but then them hitting him in order to get him to get over his anxiety and play music is played for laughs. It's honestly jarring.
I've heard this argument repeated a number of times and I honestly don't understand it. There is a clear separation between the slapstick played for laughs and the actual abuse, I don't see why people have such a problem differentiating the two. It's not as though they put those scenes right back to back and its clear what is what. (That's not directed towards you personally but more towards the body of people saying the same thing)

Did they ever explain what was her illness?Real talk, I think the mother's justification was pretty piss poor. I don't believe a human can physically abuse their own child and have the "I want my child to be happy!" mindset that this episode tried to portray her with.
Did they ever explain what was her illness?
Nope. I really don't think I've ever found an anime that bothered naming a life threatening illness that a character had. Unless curing the illness was the point of the show.
We probably won't find out what Kaori has either.
I just assumed the illness affected her brain somewhat. But her obsession could just be overplayed for drama purposes.Nope. I really don't think I've ever found an anime that bothered naming a life threatening illness that a character had. Unless curing the illness was the point of the show.

SAO spoiler
A Girl got AIDS!

If only it wereAsuna. I hated that goddamn show.

Yeah, I didn't like how they are like: hey it's all right because in the end mommy loved you!
Screw that crap.
Her speech towards the piano coach chick makes me think it had no impact on her brain. She was basically just pulling the "I am abusing him so that he will develop the talent he needs for a better future! I love him sooo much."
I much preferred it when I thought she just fell into wanting to live vicariously through her child. Who the fuck doesn't think their child will have a future in music when they are considered a musical prodigy?

and why is Kaori's head bandaged![]()
Well she's collapsed before. And we saw hand rails in her house. I'm guessing she just collapsed again and hit her head this time.
I just started watching this, and I'm up to ep 11 I believe. So yep, this anime just grabbed me and never let go. A really good show that never seems to have any lows.
That it does.It looks so good too
And yet we are stuck with the official English title, such is lifeThis irks me every time I see this thread in Off-Topic. The title is really "April is/was Your Lie" not "Your Lie in April". If it was "Your Lie in April," it'd be called Shigatsu niwa Kimi no Uso.
This show just keeps building up Kōsei/Tsubaki to the point I can't help but ship it despite knowing Kōsei is into Kaori.
