I found this by using anilist to search for OVAs that came out from 1980-1999, scrolling down past the most popular ones, and just clicking on whatever looked interesting. I think I will continue to do this regularly from now on because this hidden gem is not even remotely similar to any anime I've seen before. The art reminds me of storybooks my parents would read me as a kid, the setting is incredibley unique and leaves much to your imagination. The blending of 2D and 3D animation creates visuals that are mesmorizing to look at. The sound design is simple but it adds to ... the feeling of it being a low budget passion project. This is a work of art, and absolutely worth the 20 minutes it takes to watch it.

It reached me. I have seen a lot of anime in my day, but this has got to be one of my all time favourites. The only shows that has made me feel more than this one are Violet Evergarden and Eva. I almost never cry watching TV but the finale had me bawling. The story is excellently handled, and I can think of a single plot point that was not wrapped up neatly in the ending. The music in this show is really good too. The first intro is iconic, and all of the classical music in it is really good too. The art ... is definitely the weakest part, but it is still good, and there is occasionally some nice sakuga. Overall, Your lie in April is a must watch for any fan of anime.
