Your Lie in April (2014)

Your Lie in April (2014) is an emotional, music-driven anime about Kousei Arima, a former piano prodigy who stopped playing after a traumatic childhood event left him unable to hear the sound of his own piano. Two years later his life has gone monochrome—until he meets Kaori Miyazono, a wild, free-spirited violinist whose flamboyant playing and irrepressible energy pull him back into music and into confronting his past. Watching this series you’ll experience lush, expressive animation paired with stirring classical performances—many scenes unfold like living concert pieces, blending sound, color, and metaphor to show inner emotion. The show is equal parts coming-of-age romance and drama: it explores grief, artistic freedom versus technical discipline, friendship, and first love, and it moves from moments of bright joy to quietly devastating heartbreak. Expect powerful, tear-jerking scenes, beautiful musical set pieces, and a character-driven journey about healing and finding your own voice.
