Creo que ha llegado el momento, por fin he visto uno de los animes que más quería ver pero nunca me había animado a hacerlo (porque ciertamente no lo conseguía por ningún lado), durante una parte del proceso podría considerarla como una odisea que al final podríamos decir que todo salió bien y pude degustar de lo que podría clasificar como uno de los mejores animes de drama y música jamás hechos (puede que esto sea una exageración), algunos solo se quedan con el recuerdo de cierto personaje pero mientras observas la obra sabes que hay muchísimo más y eso es lo que te atrapa, además hay un detalle de que es prácticamente imposible ver este anime sin tener un grandísimo spoiler de por medio, lo que es una lástima, la muerte de ese personaje técnicamente podría considerarse como un dato de cultura general al día de hoy, aunque sinceramente a mí no me desanimó, mi objetivo estaba propuesto y podría decir que me encontré algo inesperado y que iba más allá de mi imaginación. El anime en cuestión es el conocido popularmente en inglés como Your Lie in April, un título que cobra bastante sentido al final de la obra, lo que lo hace de cierta forma bonito, al principio no le encuentras sentido hasta que ves todo hasta el final, un hermoso viaje que nunca podrás olvidar. Así que sin más dilación, hablemos acerca de Your Lie in April.

I think the time has come, I have finally watched one of the anime that I wanted to see the most but never had the courage to do so (because I certainly couldn't find it anywhere), during a part of the process I could consider it an odyssey but in the end we could say that everything turned out well and I was able to enjoy what could be classified as one of the best drama and music anime ever made (this may be an exaggeration), some only remember a certain character but while you watch the work you know that there is so much more and that's what captivates you, also there is the detail that it is practically impossible to watch this anime without a major spoiler in between, which is a shame, the death of that character could technically be considered common knowledge nowadays, although honestly it didn't discourage me, my goal was set and I can say that I found something unexpected and beyond my imagination. The anime in question is commonly known in English as Your Lie in April, a title that makes a lot of sense at the end of the work, which makes it beautiful in a way, at first you don't find meaning until you see everything until the end, a beautiful journey that you will never forget. So without further ado, let's talk about Your Lie in April.

El anime nos pone en la piel de Kousei Arima, un chico de 14 años de edad que cuando era niño era conocido por ser un prodigio con el piano, ganando muchos concursos a su corta edad, siendo conocido como un metrónomo humano o un robot, por tocar al pie de la letra la partitura, sin tratar de transmitir ninguna otra emoción o sentimiento. Su carrera se derrumba con la muerte de su madre, la cual estaba muy enferma y obligaba a Kousei a participar en concursos, llegando a actuar de forma bastante negativa inclusive maltratándolo físicamente por equivocarse durante sus clases de piano (ella quería que Kousei cumpliera su sueño de ser una pianista famosa). Al ser su madre lo que aferraba a Kousei a tocar al piano pensando que con eso podía curarla, una vez al fallecer de la enfermedad, él no podrá tocar el piano, su trauma no se lo permitirá, apenas comienza a tocar alguna melodía, deja de escuchar el piano, haciéndole imposible el tocar, esto hace que durante su día a día acabe sumido en la oscuridad, solo vive sin rumbo, todo el mundo para él es blanco y negro, no tiene ni una pizca de color. Todo cambiará para Kousei cuando en una cita doble conoce a Miyazono Kaori, una chica rubia de su misma edad, que va a la misma escuela que él pero que emana alegría y color atrayendo a todos a quienes rodea, sin mencionar que ella es violinista, su objetivo con su música es ser inolvidable, tratando de siempre cautivar al público. Estos dos formarán una relación donde se ayudarán entre los dos a superar sus miedos compartiendo bonitos momentos juntos y quién sabe, consiguiendo que Kousei salga del abismo en el que lleva sumido 2 años.

The anime puts us in the shoes of Kousei Arima, a 14-year-old boy who, when he was a child, was known for being a prodigy with the piano, winning many contests at such a young age, being known as a human metronome or a robot, for playing the score exactly, without trying to convey any other emotion or feeling. His career collapses with the death of his mother, who was very sick and forced Kousei to participate in contests, even acting quite negatively by physically mistreating him for making mistakes during his piano lessons (she wanted Kousei to fulfill her dream of becoming a famous pianist). Since his mother was what kept Kousei attached to playing the piano, thinking that it could cure her, once she dies from the illness, he won't be able to play the piano, his trauma won't allow him to, he barely starts playing a melody, he stops hearing the piano, making it impossible for him to play, this causes him to end up immersed in darkness during his day-to-day life, he lives aimlessly, everything is black and white for him, with no tinge of color. Everything will change for Kousei when he meets Miyazono Kaori on a double date, a blonde girl of the same age, who goes to the same school as him but radiates joy and color, attracting everyone around her, not to mention that she is a violinist, her goal with her music is to be unforgettable, always trying to captivate the audience. These two will form a relationship where they will help each other overcome their fears, sharing beautiful moments together, and who knows, maybe Kousei will be able to emerge from the abyss he has been immersed in for 2 years.

Durante el transcurso de la trama veremos cómo se nos van presentando diversos problemas y situaciones, además de las soluciones a éstos mediante la música (el enfoque de la obra va en torno de la vida de los músicos), aunque lo que más impacta pueden ser tanto los protagonistas como los personajes secundarios (podría decir que todos tienen su protagonismo durante su momento específico en la trama), teniendo una razón de ser y una historia que hace que nos sintamos cercanos con ellos, son personajes bastantes realistas que nos logran transmitir sus sentimientos mediante sus interpretaciones musicales: ¿para quién tocas? ¿qué sentimiento quieres hacer llegar al público? Con tan solo esas dos preguntas quizás seas capaz ser alguien más que solo sigue una partitura, convertir una canción de otro autor en una propia con tu ritmo y expresión. Se tratan temas como la rivalidad entre músicos y cómo éstas de cierta manera ayudan a que todos crezcan entre sí, ese ambiente de competencia hace que vayan aumentando su nivel cada vez más y al final aunque sean rivales también pueden ser amigos, que se apoyan cuando algunos de ellos lo estén pasando mal. Además se trata el tópico del miedo, donde se nos explica que todos tenemos miedo en algún momento de nuestras vidas pero que tenemos que lidiar con ello porque sino nunca podremos actuar y ver los resultados de lo que hemos practicado tanto, tendremos que afrontar nuestros miedos si de verdad queremos avanzar hacia nuestro futuro.

During the course of the plot, we will see how various problems and situations are presented to us, as well as their solutions through music (the focus of the work revolves around the lives of musicians). However, what impacts the most can be both the main characters and the supporting characters (I could say that they all have their protagonism during their specific moment in the plot), having a reason to be and a story that makes us feel close to them. They are quite realistic characters who manage to transmit their feelings through their musical interpretations: who are you playing for? What feeling do you want to convey to the audience? With just these two questions, perhaps you are capable of being someone more than just following a score, turning a song by another author into your own with your rhythm and expression. Topics such as rivalry among musicians and how it helps them grow together are addressed, that competitive environment makes them increase their level more and more, and in the end, even if they are rivals, they can also be friends, supporting each other when some of them are going through tough times. In addition, the topic of fear is addressed, where we are explained that we all have fear at some point in our lives but we have to deal with it because otherwise we will never be able to perform and see the results of what we have practiced so much. We will have to confront our fears if we truly want to move forward towards our future.

Creo que Kaori cumple su objetivo a la perfección, siempre intentó ser inolvidable con su música y su forma de ser, consiguiendo lograrlo con su carisma y los momentos hermosos en los que convive con nuestro protagonista Kousei, dejando memorias que siempre recordaremos, cualquiera que haya visto este anime asociará inmediatamente el mes de Abril con Your Lie in April, haciendo que Kaori siempre sea recordada por el espectador. En cuanto a la animación está a cargo de A1 Pictures, sin lugar a dudas es una belleza, algo nunca antes visto, logrando transmitir las emociones de la música y las canciones que tocan los artistas mediante las imágenes, ver tocar a Kousei y sus rivales es algo magnífico, siempre quieres que lleguen los concursos para ver a los músicos tocar y deleitarnos con los que nos van a mostrar. Siendo esto un anime de música, todo lo que suena (en su mayoría música clásica), todo lo que escuchamos es una delicia al oído, escuchar la maravillosa banda sonora usando audífonos es lo mejor que se puede hacer, si no ves esto de esa forma será cometer blasfemia. ¿Recomendaría este anime? Pues depende, si te gustan los temas introspectivos, donde los personajes estén reflexionando acerca de sus acciones, su presente y su futuro, es totalmente recomendable y si te gusta la música, aún más.

I think Kaori fulfills her objective perfectly, she always tried to be unforgettable with her music and her way of being, managing to achieve it with her charisma and the beautiful moments in which she interacts with our protagonist Kousei, leaving memories that we will always remember, anyone who has watched this anime will immediately associate the month of April with Your Lie in April, making Kaori always be remembered by the viewer.

Being a music anime, everything that sounds (mostly classical music), everything we hear is a delight to the ear, listening to the wonderful soundtrack using headphones is the best thing you can do, if you don't see it that way it would be blasphemy. Would I recommend this anime? Well, it depends, if you like introspective themes, where the characters are reflecting on their actions, their present and their future, it is totally recommendable and if you like music, even more.


Thanks to A1 Pictures for adapting this wonderful anime.

I think I watched this at the wrong time when sad sobby stories trended. The show is beautiful but some suspense got killed because of how much hype it had that spoilers were here and there.

The truth is that the anime carries the suspense about whether Kaori is going to die or not very well, you only know the outcome when you get to the last chapter, a pity that such a good development is undermined by the huge spoiler that you can't avoid knowing when you think about watching this anime.

I'm not really easily swayed by spoilers but not going to lie that it does have some impact on the viewing experience. Sometimes it's because of the spoilers that I even bother watching the show.

When I watched it, I was not interested in the world of music, so I could not understand the feelings that they wanted to convey through their different characters. Today, as I am learning violin like Kaori, I understand it even more and I know that if I had watched it now, it would have impacted me more, beyond the ending and her tragic story.

Today I can say that it is an excellent anime and that it has many more messages than I could perceive at the time ❤️

The truth is that I am not associated with the world of music but I felt quite represented with the public that goes to see the characters interpret their music, it is beautiful to see how they transmit their feelings so well, a real pleasure to see such good interpretations and the last one that Kousei does is undoubtedly the best of all, it is masterful.

During the viewing I could also see several scenes worthy of analysis and it is obvious the message they want to convey, the direction is impeccable. It is undoubtedly a good anime, although I still regret knowing that spoiler that everyone already knows, my experience would have been much better.

Fue algo mas como la forma de comportarse de sus personajes y los diálogos que esto abarca... en fin tal vez esta no echa para mi.
