''Will it reach her? Will I pass on my feelings? Who are you playing for?''

Your Lie in April is one of those stories where you can't really try to analyze due to the fact that it will have made your breathless until it ends. It is a well constructed romance musical (this combination was what hooked me up) that delivered absolutely everything it had to. The romance category is mostly full of garbage and is a really sensitive topic to bet onto, especially amongst teens where most of them prefer watching Shounen or fighting anime more. So a romance anime that is made to appeal ... to a younger audience is a really risky move. Hopefully, there are very little negative things that I can point out in order to construct a balanced criticism.

I think by far the best point of this anime is its incredible eargasming soundtrack and its beautiful visuals. It really has questioning everything in the end. This show might have hit in the 10's for me if it weren't for the spoil i got only after watching episode 2. Most of you who have watched the show can instantly realize how painful this spoiler was but nevertheless I always thought that the destination is not important and that it's the journey that counts so i gave it a shot. I don't ever regret watching this show and I highly recommend this to anyone. The romance genre is highly underrated and it can teach you a lot of life lessons. Make sure you got tissues ready cause this is a really big emotional roller coaster.

STORY: 8.5/10
ART: 9.5/10
SOUND: 10/10
CHARACTERS: 9/10
ENJOYMENT:9/10

Oh, my god. I am speechless. There are not any suitable words than I can use to describe this artwork. I have yet to be engrossed so much in an anime series, or get attached so much to the characters as I have with Fruits Basket. This show is outstanding in every aspect and deserves a perfect rating. It is flawless. I didn't think it was possible to feel so much sympathy for fictional characters. This anime is definitely one of my favorite anime ever. Fruits Basket completely broke me down. I cried in almost every of the last episodes and I have been left ... with a huge void in my heart. The fact that this masterpiece is finished is depressing. I would sell my soul to forget about this anime and re-watch it all over again.

In a nutshell, this anime is a must watch and an once in a lifetime experience. I am afraid I won't enjoy watching an anime again as I enjoyed watching Fruits Basket. Immediately after finishing it, it spiked at number 2 on my top 10 list. This anime is invaluable. Thank you for this great adaptation of an outstanding series.

I will try to keep this review as spoiler-free as possible as to not ruin anything for you!

I want to start by saying that I rarely rate a show as 10 out of 10 and when I do is when an anime truly means something to me and has a special place in my heart. This is one of these anime.

ART: 10/10

Animated by the well-reputed WIT Studio, this anime offers great attention to detail with amazing and smooth choreography, combined with a perfected execution of effects and detailed frames. I truly believe this is one of the best - if not the ... best - works WIT Studio has ever made, coming very close to Attack On Titan.

---------------------------------

STORY: 10/10

Despite its pretty generic concept (Humans competing with Humanoid Ai), Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song offers a great variety of creative plot points as well as a diverse and straight-forward storyline. In spite of its short length (only 13 episodes) it delivers exactly what is to be expected from an original story of its kind. The ending is magnificent, going as far as saying that it is one of my favorite anime endings ever.

---------------------------------

SOUNDTRACK: 10/10

This anime is flawless when it comes to sound delivery and its soundtrack is one of my personal favorites. The music is magnificent and clearly represents Vivy's identity as a whole. What admire most about it is the foreshadowing involved with one of the songs which really put me on the edge. Never before seen.

ENJOYMENT: 10/10

I have yet to have that much fun while watching an anime and have been watching since it started airing. I highly recommend this anime to everyone looking to watch something action-related and to who ever want something sure to be enjoyable

Outstanding. Giving a quick summary I would comply with saying that this anime will leave rent-free in my heart for years to come. It is one of the most underrated and underappreciated masterpieces of the last decade and is a must watch. Personally, I love emotional anime and always enjoy watching these kind of anime. To be fair, this anime might not be appreciated that much by a person who doesn't like emotional attachment to a certain story or characteristics of
an anime. I could go as far as saying that it is really good if you enjoy dialog heavy drama and humour although this ... anime offers far more than that. Angel Beats! was one of the first anime I ever watched and it was the most phenomenal of all.

!WARNING BEYOND THIS POINT THERE MAY BE SPOILERS SO BE AWARE!

Storyline: 9/10

This is the part where some may disagree due to the fact that the creator of Angel Beats! has created a similar story and has transferred a lot of stuff over to Angel Beats! as a result. But looking at this anime on it's own, it is quickly figured out that the storyline is really smoothly spread out to the point where 13 episodes were enough for the story to be completed. The only thing that annoyed me that can't be helped is the fact that this anime could easily be converted to 24 episodes and go more in depth about the personal life of the characters and undergo the process of showing the backstory of more than 3 people (Iwasawa, Yui, Yurippe). The ending had me sobbing for 20 minutes straight absolutely beautiful and astonishing.


Artstyle: 10/10

It is crazy how P.A.Works managed to animate Angel Beats! that good and create such an eye-pleasing result in 2010 (more than 11 years ago!) The animation looks fantastic and it is a really big improvement for 2010. There is not much to comment on this and you had better see it yourself to get a more insightful look at what I am referring to.


Soundtrack: 10/10

Oh my god this soundtrack is a masterpiece. Every single OST in this anime is magnificent and really good. Whenever I hear the final song ''Ichiban No Takaromono'' I always drown in my tears remembering this anime. Everything from the Opening Song to simple dialogue music screams masterpiece. Shoutout to whoever made the soundtrack you are the GOAT.

Overal this anime is an easy 10/10 and it is a must seen for everyone. Especially those who enjoy emotional anime. The blend between everything you need in anime, and the excellent execution has never been seen before.
