Any anime fans out there that have watched Your Lie in April? It's on Netflix right now. Drags a little, but God, I swear I had no eyeballs left in my head after the final episode. Yes, from crying. Bawling really. The plot is loosely similar to A Walk to Remember, but different, too. It's not at all a blatant copy, and I actually think the way they do it is more effective and sad. I don't know, it just really hit me, I guess. The main plot is sad enough, but when you finally find out what her lie in april was, man..... that really got me. yeah, I'm a wuss.
Yeah, I loved that show! I don't think it was like "A Walk to Remember" at all though. (It was better! )
Yeah, it's just that when I first started it, I thought- ok there's a dying girl who loves life and heals her soul through music. The guy is gonna fall in love with her and have his life changed forever as a result, so it immediately jumped out to me as similar to that other book/movie. But so glad it turned out to be so much more. Also reminded me a bit of chrono crusade, with the bitter acceptance of one's fate. If you haven't seen that one you should check it out. One of my all time favorites.
I haven't finished it yet, but it's kind of obvious what's going on with the girl. My friend introduced me to it a few days ago, and I'm really enjoying it! That's probably because I'm a blonde haired violinist who is going to be playing Saint-Saens' Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso at a competition in less than two weeks....
yeah, their use of competitions as just a passing plot device is kind of neat. I don't know if I busted out bawling at the finale because I worked myself up for it, or if it was really that emotional. You'll have to let me know haha. *Spoiler ahead* Fair warning* **** **** **** **** I do remember in episodes leading up to it, thinking "I'm going to lose it at the finale, I know it." First time was when she asks him for double suicide while at the hospital
