both are beautiful series with sad moments and tear jerking endings. Both series hold a lot of meaning in them and depending on what kind of person you are, these series can really touch your heart. There are really good life lessons that can actually be learned from both of these series. Both anime contain beautiful soundtracks and really good development for its characters, especially its main male characters. While Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso contains more humor than Clannad, it still does the job well of hitting you with feels. I must warn you that if you are one that hates slow pacing, then

Both anime have a great plot and pack-a-punch for the sadness. If you love the heck out of the Slice of Life genre then I highly recommend that you check out both Clannad and Your Lie in April also other animes that are on my list.

The similarities are really obvious, so you don't need many hints for this: It's the same romance story but they aren't musicians, they are students. The story is just about making the main characters(Kousei-Shigatsu, Nagisa-Clannad) pursue their dreams and their passions.
Both happen in a school environment and have beautiful love stories.
Unless you don't have a soul you will cry.
Two animes with very different plots which however share a lot of similarities; comedy-ladden stories with very sad backdrops, emotional soundtracks and a great focus on character development. The plot in these animes is thick and the writing is simply great, with things making more and more sense as everything develops. The characters all feel relatable and lovable, each of them have their own issues, hopes and aspirations, giving both animes great depth.
Fans of emotionally impactful stories will both love animes, definitely.

Both of these anime are Slice of Life anime. In a way both of these anime are similar in the sense that they both are extremely fun and entertaining to watch. Those who loved Clannad/Clannad After Story will fall in love with Your Lie in April

Like Clannad, Your Lie In April contains emotional and dramatic scenes that'll tug at fans' heartstrings. The characters in both series develop in time, and Your Lie In April's sound-track is as breathtaking as Clannad's. If one loved Clannad, then Your Lie In April's a must-watch.
These two anime share a similarity in portraying the struggle for love during school days, with very similar storytelling approaches. They both openly convey that love is more than just a feeling it requires a lot of sacrifices. Both are compelling anime, but as we know, love stories don’t always go smoothly, and each couple faces their own challenges. So, what are those challenges ?
