Reviews & Ratings for
Your Lie in April (2014)

Let's be clear: I only gave it that much of a high rating because I love Kousei too much. That being said, I feel like Kousei overcame his trauma too quickly. It was like it didnt exist 'cause the blondie with cancer said that he should live his life to the fullest or whatever. The show really tried to get us to sympathize with his abusive pos mom. Im going to rant. Kousei's mom is not only a bad character, but a bad person as well. PICK A STRUGGLE. They made it seem like she had no choice but to be that hard on him when she really didn't..Like how did you hitting him with your walking stick help him learn how to play the piano good? Especially since he was already a prodigy yet that wasn't good enough for her. You see how quickly her son story about just wanting him to have a future in piano falls apart ? I saw right through it. What really happened was: she was just mad that her son was better than her at everything, so she started using her little child as a punching bag. It's that simple. She started living through her son. Speaking of living through people.. our leading lady Kaori.. I don't care about her. I wanted her to live for Kousei but that's it. Kaori always forced Kousei to perform even though he wasnt emotionally ready for it y'know? She's selfish in that way. She was so demanding that Kousei got flashbacks from his ABUSIVE MOM. I mean of course the show skipped over that..Um his friends. Tamaki.. Uh.. Yeah, you like Kousei. Yeah, you're his childhood friend, but can you come up with something else? Watari is cool. He moved on from Kaori just like that. I found that really weird.

His aunt/new piano teacher. Fuck her. Like where were you when your nephew was getting hit by your sister? Interesting.. and you want us to feel bad for you because seeing Kousei sad made you sad.. girl bye

I skipped all the music scenes. We get ITT.

Did it make me cry? Yeah. Because Kousei deserved wayy better.
