Your Lie in April causes excitement in a fan watching the anime for the first time
Through Reddit, user Classic-Box-3919 shared a post with his experience watching Your Lie In April, in it he commented that it was the first time he was watching it and that even though he was just on chapter 15, it was already generating a lot of emotions, his words were: “I’m just on chapter 15 and it’s made me remember the past and really made me feel for the characters. I was saving this one for a while, I put it off for a year or more since I put it on my list. I knew it was sad because I found it looking for sad anime, but I hadn’t gotten to it until now. From the first episode I knew it would be good (what a great opening).”
He went on to say “Everything about this show has been good so far and past episodes have taken it further. I try to be strict in rating shows, it’s something I enjoy doing since I watch so much anime lately. This one has reached incredible levels for me and if this continues, it will probably be a 10/10 for me,”. I haven’t finished it yet, so please no spoilers, but I really wanted to talk about it. I highly recommend it, although I’m sure most people here have already seen it, since it’s so popular. Episode 14 was beautiful. Almost everything in this series is beautiful.”
This beautiful description of her experience with Your Lie in April prompted users to reply by telling their own anecdotes and evoke various memories of watching this famous anime. One of the first comments we found was from a user who thanked this person for reminding him to watch this story in this month. Many anime fans like to return to this anime precisely in the month of April, because the story takes place partly during this month, so they think it is a perfect time to reopen the wound that Your Lie in April generated in our hearts.
Another person said “I watched it years ago and it definitely stirs up some emotions, but I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to watch it again.”, and it is well known within the anime community that Your Lie in April is a pretty sad story and it is practically inevitable that while we are watching it, it doesn’t generate multiple tears and tear us apart with the sad story of Kousei Arima and Kaori Miyazono. And speaking of sad anime, someone else added “It’s crazy to me that it only has 22 episodes. I remember it with Nana/Nodame Cantabile, but it’s much shorter than these two. Very emotionally dense series.”
It is inevitable to think of other anime that remind us of the same feelings that Your Lie in April generated in us, sometimes even we ourselves look for other stories that generate these same emotions because although it is a story that touches your heart, we cannot deny that it is very beautiful and that it hooks you from beginning to end. Have you seen Your Lie in April? Has it also brought tears to your eyes like many anime fans?
