First Time Watching Your Lie In April ~ Ep 22 ~ Spring Wind (Reaction) 

Ive watched it 4 times now it's still my top favourite. Everytime i watched the ending even when it was my 3rd or 4th time i still cried even when i was ready.

To think i wrote this so long ago and it still applies. Even after one day of morosely contemplating on the anime Your Lie In April is always at the forefront of my mind. I have always been a sculprious person and have watched dozens of animes but this particular anime really takes the cake of being able to convey deep messages and providing emotional music in a short span of time. I had grown so attached to the character of Kaori Miyazono. Her voice actor did an marvellous job conveying the vivacious yet stoic character, a person who is boisterous on the outside but deep inside is hiding up a storm. This is one of the most admirable trait to have in my book and she demonstrated it exceptionally well. Indubitably, this is one of the greatest anime i had come across in my journey. When first introduced i was almost duped by her amazing Facade but i always had Vestigal feeling increased overtime that she was not what she made out to be. Why was she crying in the beginning? Why did she stopped by at the hospital after episode 3? Why does she dawn a gloomy face when no one is around? There was always a capricious change in character which i just couldn't shake off from these subtle, redolent clues. After learning the truth at the end. It was especially poignant that she choose to be with the best friend of her childhood crush even though she did not want to be. Especially heartbreaking that she pulled through without a hinge knowing that he was right there. She really deserved better and i wanted her to be happy but she was struck down by a uncureable illness. Human life is so fragile. She was always upbeat but broke down in the arms of her lover after being strong all these time. She is truly sacrosanct, why are the good ones always the first to leave. I felt gyped that she was taken away after forming such a connection. She went against the common dogma and doctrine by playing her heart out, not worrying about the scores in the competition, in the end inspiring many people's lives. This anime made me put on my thinking cap more than i was comfortable with. I was vehemently against some of the relationships of the protagonist which is a Virtuoso and prodigy in the art of music and piano. But this came at a price, he was tragically beaten into submission and accepted the fact that by doing well he would be making his mother proud which was also clinclially ill. I loved the juxtaposition and nuance from being a perfect pitch prodigy to being a tone deaf adolescence. It showed the impact of his mother's death on him, impeaching his development and potential. No matter the reasoning i felt that the mother did him wrong, yes you may not have much time left and yes you want your child to succeed but at the result of beating him daily till bleeding? That is frankly ludicrous, Egregious and dreadful. The end doesn't justify the means and i am surprise that nature vs nurture did not kick in for the child and that he didn't grew to cause harm to others but much more passive. What a Tumultuous childhood he had but Kaori became his new light in his ever dark tunnel. She was his inspiration and they were perfect for one another. How i wished they lived happily ever after. I'll write till here for now, just had to get it off my chest, truly a masterpiece of an anime. Recommended violet evergarden next

Even if you knew that she might die, one always hoped for the best. Sad, but beautiful.

This hurts my heart 💔 hope you enjoyed this show , her knowing him from the start hurts even more but explains why she was so pushy with him and tried to pull him towards the piano 💛

When i first watched this anime, the final episode broke me, and i couldn't stop crying form the moment i saw her Spirit play the violin with him. A lot of people cry when they hear the letter, but to me the Ballade they play Chopin's Ballade made this even more heartbreaking. As it was considered Chopin's dearest work to his heart. He wrote the ballade during an 8 month stay in Vienna when he was still searching for a treatment or cure for his illness. The Ballade to me represents how he viewed his life and the possible acceptance that his disease would end his life. The Ballade to me is an interpretation of how unfair he thought his life was in what he wanted but he was still blessed with friends and those around him who supported him. This is why Your Lie in April is truly beautiful to me how the music and it's history ties into a lot of the characters and their struggles through the year we know them. Chopin considered his life unfair because his disease prevented him from helping his fellow comrades in Poland during the revolution. He hated himself so much for not being able bodied to fight that he personally exiled himself from his homeland and never returned to Poland out of shame. If you ever listen to CHopin's work, you can feel so much of his emotions in the music. His pain, his regret, his self loathing but you can also feel the love he had for his homeland and the people he cherished in his life. The final song being CHopin's Ballade is both pain and joy of life.

Even the creator would have cried very hard :(

im convinced if you didnt cry once in this show you have no soul

This anime was so hard to watch. Just knowing that she would never play with him again because she was going to die was too much. He only knows sorrow and grief because he keeps losing the people he loves. It is just so sad.

😂😂😂 god knows I’ll never forget the way this anime made me sob

There is also ep 23, it is an OVA about their childhood

just letting u know theres an ova episode

too bad I couldn't watch it with you while you just started but I'm excited to watch yu react to it from episodes, this anime hurts

I am broken. This episode man...

It's a sad anime, it reminds me of 3d kanojo real girl, both very similar animes and both make you tear up. But the other one has a happy ending and this one doesn't. It shows how not every story will always end up a happy ending. :(

Great reaction. I just love the way you took it all in, without having to say things. You didn't have to say much (and you didn't) - it was all showing on your face, which was beautiful.

何故？初見が最終回？ Why do you see it from the last episode? Mysterious choices

you are ruining the piece

I guess you are the person who can pick up nuances. But you couldn't in this anime because of a long break. So I recommend you to see it again without any of it. J-Stars and SOS Bors do a great job for reaction to this anime.

Iv made a bet with my friend that he will cry at the end this will be the easiest 5 bucks Iv ever earned
