Anime Review: Shigatsu no Kimi wa Uso (2014-2015)

I forgot to post a review about anime that I watched last 2015. This anime is titled Shigatsu no Kimi wa Uso (Your Lie in April). My younger brother even recommended this anime and I eventually watched it :P

Plot:

Piano prodigy Kōsei Arima dominated the competition and has become famous among child musicians. After his mother, who was also his instructor, died, he had a mental breakdown while performing at a piano recital at the age of twelve. As a result, he is no longer able to hear the sound of his piano even though his hearing is perfectly fine. Two years later, Kōsei hasn't touched the piano and views the world in monochrome, without any flair or color. He has resigned himself to living out his life with his good friends, Tsubaki and Watari, until, one day, a girl changes everything. Kaori Miyazono, a fourteen-year old audacious, free-spirited violinist whose playing style reflects her manic personality, helps Kōsei return to the music world and shows that it should be free and mold breaking unlike the structured and rigid style Kōsei was used to.

Review:

This anime brought so much feeling for me. The storyline is plotted nicely without any single unessecary scene. This anime is combination of music, love, friendship, psychology, and trust. You gotta watch this anime if you're a music person. It's so heart-warming and heart-breaking. Two thumbs up :')

Rating: 8/10
