thank you all for coming on this journey with me ❤ can’t believe it’s over! I’ll be posting my reaction to the OVA next week and then bunny girl senpai will be coming to the channel!
@@archieevans5155 this is good too, i also recommended you 🙏 Kokoro connect (Drama, Romance) old anime Ano hi mita hana (Drama) famous anime in the past Nagi no Asukara (Drama, Fantasy, Romance) good anime and also quite old Just Because (Drama, Romance) fine drama Charlotte (Drama) good Yahari Ore no Seishuun (Drama, Comedy, Romance) good there's a people try to react this anime lately
For me, the most emotional moment is when we are shown the line in the letter where Kaori wrote "I love you" in red and tears fall on this line. The emotional moment is that these are Kaori's sincere feelings, and you can't do anything about it, because all that's left of her is these lines
as someone who recently found out this year that im on the losing end of a rare disease after spending my birthday in the ICU this anime really hit different, i spent years putting this off and when i decide to finally watch it im in a similar position, but this did inspire me to live the best life i can on the little time i got left, just hope no one forgets me when my time has finally run out
My heart aches reading this. I'm so sorry that you're in this position, but if it's any comfort at all, I'll be thinking about you and praying for you. I don't know your name, who you are, what you've done, or anything like that, but know that you're loved and that no one deserves to go through hardship like that. I can't imagine the strength it takes to stay strong in a position like that, but I really hope that you try to be, for your own sake, if nothing else 🙏 💜
A lot of people put this show in a box and are quick to dismiss it as a sad anime due to its ending. But it's more than that. It's a beautiful dialogue about youth, trauma, and strength to overcome hardships that life throws at you. It's about passion and self-identity. The art and especially the music did a great job in bringing out emotions that the dialogue wasn't able to. Overall a great show, even without considering its ending. Watching you watch it for the first time makes me so happy that you appreciated it the way it should be. Thank you for reacting to it. It's been a ride. Looking forward to your reactions to other shows as well! 🥰🥰
"A lot of people" is a LIE. WE INDEED SAD BECAUSE WE KNOW ABOUT ALL ABOUT YOU TALKING ABOVE THERE. We, actually know kaori gonna dead since like.. episode 11 or something. the early episodes. but when we go deeper and deeper, it's more than just "kaori gonna die". it's full with art.
The only critique I would give is that her death is lowkey pointless. I know many would be quick to jump to its defense but think about it- everything it had set out to do was done by the time Kaori was about to die. Trauma? Overcome. Strength? Obtained. Reason to live? Firmly grasped. What do the characters gain from Kaori dying..? Nothing, really. I really like this show but her death really feels like a punch in the gut simply for the sake of being a punch in the gut- like a "look, we can show off the harsh realities of life and how not everything always goes your way! This is a mature and real story!" type vibe, but we don't watch these because we wanna feel the crushing weight of reality, we watch them to escape it- I feel this would've been better if she survived, as long as they pull it off well.
@@neurotic3015 Kaori living would be the worst possible ending. It would take away everything. The show makes a good point about reinforcing one thing even early on: Kaori is dying. From then on, the show builds everything up with the knowledge that the viewer know what the ending is going to be. All of it just wouldn't make sense if Kaori lives. "What do the characters gain from Kaori dying?" You certainly don't need something like this when the show ends with Kaori dying, it's the climax. We don't need to see the aftermath. It's the story of a girl who was just passing by and doing everything she can to make the most of it. This is the story of living the best life on a timer, not a story about overcoming death. It's not about what the characters do AFTER the climax, because the whole story revolves around everything BEFORE the climax, up until it reaches the end. "We don't watch these because we wanna feel the crushing weight of reality, we watch them to escape it." Yeah, but that's YOUR idea of watching. But not everyone is the same as you, not everyone wants to escape reality. Believe it or not but there are people who watch these because they like it, they enjoy it. It would be irritating if there were no clues, but you know it was leading up to that moment. There was no way Kaori would live. The death works because it isn't sudden, you know it was going to happen. I don't have much to say because I would be repeating everything so I'm just going to say that YLIA without Kaori's death would be so bad it would feel like deus ex machina without the deus ex machina.
@@neurotic3015Yeah you clearly didn't understand the point of the show. Kaori didn't come into his life just to help him obtain what he needed. Just because he's overcome his hardships means kaori has no reason to die? Tf is that logic? Not everything happens perfectly, there's literally hundreds of animes out there with happily ever after endings if you prefer those so much. Kaori died, sometimes the worst possible outcome happens and you just have to deal with it. That's the point.
@@HSSJ2 That’s definitely not the point lol, the better point to make is that it’s about the the value of life and why you should strive to be better because you never know when it’s your last day. If this show was just about how life is hard and sad things happen it’d be boring and sad all the time. “Not everything happens perfectly” isn’t a good reason to kill off a character, you can do that, but that doesn’t mean it’s good writing or reasonable; people have real life to look at if they want to face harsh realities, there’s no good reason to kill a loved character off just to inflict suffering on your audience and show them that sometimes there is no happy ending. I honestly think this show is amazing and my comment was made in the heat of the moment, you could’ve argued in favor of the shows decision so much better but you picked the shittiest reasoning possible.
I'm 35 year old guy and I cried. A few weeks later after I finished the show, I watched your reaction, and I thought I can handle it. But I was wrong, you made me cry even more 😂😊 Thank you🥰
Every bit of the letter just hit so hard, but the part of it that made the most impact to me was that Kaori considered to be a pianist, but when she heard Kousei play she then made a firm decision to be violinist because she wants Kousei to be her accompanist and that they play together someday. Kaori must have been very happy to have gotten a photo with Kousei even if it was just by coincidence that Kousei was walking behind her when she was taking a photo with her friend. This show is really beautiful, and I'm glad that you get to experience this beauty as well. It was a great journey watching this show again with you, thank you so much for reacting to this show!!
When you have time i recommend you to rewatch this, even on your own, just posting your second impressions on the community. I think that you didn't realize, but in 20:20 when she say that she loves him it shows us three more scenes, and in all of those scenes she spoke something that Kousei couldn't hear, all those times it was her saying "i love you". When you already knows this and watch the story it seems to be a complete other one, those and other scenes have a completely different meaning. This is a show that once you have already watched and knows what happen's you see the hole story different, and in my opinion that is most worth to watch more than 1 time. Sorry if the english is bad, a huge hug from Brazil, love your reactions
A internet nos une mais uma vez. Mas sim, quando você conhece a historia todas essas cenas fazem vc se sentir mt diferente doq a primeira vez. Eu assisti essa serie umas 4 vezes, 2 foi eu e minha familia, e duas foram vendo outras pessoas assistindo. Sinceramente, eu chorei no final duas vezes e esse anime realmente mudou a minha perspectiva em varias coisa. (But yeah, when you know the story behind all these scenes, it hits you differently. I watched this series 4 times, 2 of which was me and my family, and the other two were from other people watching. No joke, I legit cried in the last episode two times, and this anime really changed my perspective in a bunch of different things.)
Years go by and I still cry myself out EVERY single time I'm rewatching the show. Such a powerful story and very emotional. I will forever love this story
I was really happy that they decided to end the show with the 1st ED, it's just so good & hits right in the feels especially with the acoustic version. The hospital roof scene, Kaori whispering "Thank you" in Kousei's ear, Kousei's final performance & the "Goodbye", Kaori's confession in the letter & the most heart breaking of all the line "A spring without you is coming" at the end man I cried my eye balls out watching these episodes. YLIA is one of the most beautiful things I've ever experienced.
12:00 when he was saying how each person affected the sound I instantly knew when he said "i cant hear" kaori was going to be there because she helped him hear the sound.
This is show is a masterpiece!! Even just watching this reaction I cried so much once again, this show is just the best! I hope you've liked it as much as I did.
I'm watching this on my lunch break and when I get back to work I have an online meeting. I'm so glad right now that my boss doesn't care if we have cams on.
I've lost count of how many times I watched the scene on the roof of the hospital and every time I cry. I promised that this time I wouldn't cry but I failed miserably.
The fact that I'm eating my breakfast while watching this. Chewing my food while crying with you damn T.T Also, this anime really pushes me to be a pianist also. It inspires me a lot to love music and listen to the heart of each composition. Man, being musician is truly great. thanks for the reaction !! I really enjoyed sharing my tears with you!
The final note always gets me 🥲 They both loved each other so much and never got to tell each other in person. Only through their music. Amazing series, truly a mastapiece.
I still remember watching this anime in the summer of '16 and I've never since been able to rewatch this. I always wanted to show more people this show and watch it along with them to appreciate this piece of art once again. Thanks for giving me that opportunity to remind myself why this show sits on the top of my list with few other bangers. It truly was a sad yet beautiful experience :')
Thank you so much for reacting to this. It's my favourite anime, and I don't see other reactors doing it. I cried rewatching every episode with you, and I love every comment you made about the show. Love from Argentina.
This show not only fills you with emotions and beautiful music, it changes your life. If you're lost and adrift like me, Your lie in April opens your eyes to what really matters in life, and shows you the way to get back up. Kaori will live forever in my heart too. ❤️ Thank you so much Alana, for showing your emotions😘
I just want to comment that I love that the last piece was not cluttered by dialogue from others, but is given a chance to shine on its own with just Kousei and his memories - really adds a special touch! Great reaction, as always, been a pleasure watching this show again vicariously for probably the 15th time. Looking forward to other stuff in the future!
One of the greatest anime ever made. And, for me, emotionally, the best one. Nothing has ever made me feel the things that YLIA made me feel. Absolutely life-changing.
Every once in a while I go back and rewatch this show, it's one of my all time favourites. Thanks for the reaction, I cried the entire time and as usual burst into all out tears when she finally tells him she loves him. xD
10:32 The way she said "We have to watch the next episode, right now" so grim and serious. Like rallying the troops after a loss in the battlefield to carry on for one final fight. 😢
You're exactly right about this show being impactful. I saw this show when I was in 9th grade. At that point I had about a year of off-and-on weak piano practice in, and I was mildly interested in trying to learn piano versions of game soundtracks I liked. After seeing it, I was introduced to Chopin, Scriabin, Ravel, Debussy and all sorts of other romantic/impressionist composers. I grinded almost every day after school from then on in this tiny soundproofed practice room for a couple hours. By the end of high school I could play some pretty technically impressive stuff. It truly launched me into music, and now my dream is to become a composer. All just because of this show, isn't that crazy? In the world of classical music it's very unusual to start playing when you're that old, but I stuck with it and I'm fairly good now. Not amazing, not a savant, but good. And now I have my whole life ahead of me to continue to improve. You can start training your music right now, no matter your age! I have very lofty goals for music so it's imperative I truly grind it out, but you don't necessarily need to be the same way. Just do you. Speaking of which if any of you would like custom music commissions just DM me on twitter @LotusFlower742. Heheh, had to plug sorry! Love you all.
Ever since this ending, I've included Kirameki (the song that plays while he's reading the letter all through the end ) into my playlist and the emotions come back whenever it plays. Such a beautiful and unforgettable story. The moment when she said I love you for the first and last time 😭
I was very happy when a new reactor started reacting to this show so I could watch it again, and then after 22 episodes I'm asking myself, again, while crying like crazy, why am I doing this to myself 🥲
This show is as emotionally devastating as any anime I have ever watched. I watched the who series on my own over the last week, but I came here to watch the reaction, because I need to know that others share this feeling.
If you want another beautiful, pretty short anime to watch sometime, I highly recommend A Place Further Than the Universe. So well animated, and I love the characters. Its not quite as tearjerking as Your Lie in April is, but it'll still get you, especially with a couple specific episodes lol
After watching this reaction video, I can proudly say that the number of times I’ve watched the ending without crying remains firmly at zero. Kaori apologising in the letter will never not kill me. I first decided to watch this series after I finished a more action oriented anime that left me feeling numbly disappointed by how little emotional investment I had in its ending. I was desperate to watch something that would actually make me feel something, so I stepped out of my usual genre comfort zone and checked out Your Lie in April (Id never really watched any slice of life/romantic anime before). If it was an emotional ending I was looking for, I got way more than I had bargained for. It’s been almost two years since I finished it for the first time, and the impact the ending had on me still hasn’t gone away.
I love these reactions so much! I hope I'm not commenting too late. I was really touched by you mentioning everyone who watched this with you at the end. And of course your heart and your connection to the characters makes me feel your emotions. It shows a very human side of you. And that is really wonderful. To experience with you. You seem like a wonderful person just like the characters in this beautiful anime. Also its sad and beautiful how kaori choose to live her life to fullest knowing she probably wouldn't live much longer. The only thing she didn't do is tell Kosei that she loved him. Which is so sad. I loved this journey ^-^
This show hits every time something brings me back to it. Seeing your reaction hurts my heart in such a love filled way. Its as genuine as i felt at the moment. Thank you for this vid and sharing these moments with us to relive the moments.
I only have one word to rate the whole anime... BEAUTIFUL Everything on it. The art, the music, the lively - dark plot. The amazing bittersweet storyline. How much it dwells into the viewer " what a great anime to remember " such a beautiful anime. Dont worry Kaori you wont be forgotten
after watching the ending I went back to watch the first episode. Right at the ending of the 1st ep, for a second or two you see Kaori's eyes glimmer when she grabs Kousei's hand to drag him to the recital. Cant believe I didn't pick it up until now. Will have to rewatch the series again. Beautiful story beautifully done
I've finished this show the first time 4 days ago, and I am still reeling. I feel like I lost someone close to me. I'd like to say that it's beautiful even though it hurts, and maybe some time I can, but right now... It only hurts.
Like idk how to explain it. Every single second of the last 3-4 episodes just takes your heart and rips it out of your chest and pile drives it to the floor. This show is the only thing that has made me cry in the past 8 years of my life. It’s a hard show to get into but it’s so damn worth it in the end. Especially when everything comes together in the end
Forget questions of "best anime ever", and what-not. For me, this is one of the greatest works of art ever - whatever the genre, whatever the medium. As they ask, over and over : "Did it reach them?" The impact of their story has me shell-shocked. It's reached me on so many levels, in so many ways, I'm still trying to unravel it all. This is a story of meaning. This is art.
That Kaori's letter scene... never fails to bring my tears. 🥺 It was a definitely wonderful, but totally sad show. Although I dont like sad ending and resisted to watch it, I changed my mind when you decided to watch. I dont regret but still hurts every time. Thank you for your beautiful reaction.
I thought 8 years would be enough to not make me ball when watching this end episode but nope. This was one of the first anime I've watched and 250+ anime later this still is the most beautiful and my favorite anime. Very well done and I'm glad you got to see this too!
If you didn't know, it's a running thing in this show where she'll quote Charlie Brown at the end of episodes or scenes I beleive. SO when she says "Charlie Brown" or "Marcie," she's saying inspirational Peanuts quotes.
No matter how I try. Everytime I got with this finale reaction , I cry a damn ocean. It's just something so incredibly sad yet beautiful. I just can't 😭😭
" I love you" in Your lie in April and " I want to eat your pancreas" in I want to eat your pancreas always hit hard and tears come out unconsciously. The both anime, I want to eat your pancreas and Your lie in April , always take a special place in my heart that no other movie or story can ever take.
Watched this show, and specifically this endong over 5 times, and every single time i cry like a baby... holy this still hits like a truck! A true masterpiece The first and only show to leave me staring at my screen for over 10 minutes after finishing it, just staring, without any specific reaction with a knot in my throat...
I genuinely love how every reactor I've seen react to this episode thus far knows Kaori's fate as soon as she starts playing in the vision. When she appears they're always like "Wait, does that mean she...?" and then she starts playing and it hits. It was the same for me.
6:38 Please don't apologize. It's why you're one of my favorite reactors on TH-cam. You don't talk OVER the show, while others talk and over-explain constantly (and makes me question if they actually are seeing whatever content they're seeing for the first time -- who wants to listen to someone like that). Especially with these two episodes. You can't really say much but just take it all in, however painful it might be.
Millionth time finishing this masterpiece, millionth time being just as hurt, awestruck, heartbroken, heartwarmed, and every emotion just as much as the first time I watched it as it came out week to week. Glad to have been along for the journey again here. And don't worry, I was crying the whole time you were too lol
I watched Your Lie in April in English dub and when she said-" Here is the truth Kousei,I love you,I love you,I love you..." At that moment my heart broke into tiny pieces,I paused the video and cried for a minute.😭
What can I say that others haven’t already, but thank you for letting me remember how incredible this show is. It’s impactful when watching alone but seeing someone watch it and go through the same emotions is really special too.
I still remember when I first watched Your Lie in April , I binged the whole 22 episodes , i started at midnight and it was just a rollercoaster of emotions .
I just finished this anime not to long ago. I don't think I ever cried more. The VAs, Japanese and dubbed, lent so much to bring these characters to life. I was destroyed when the ending happened, but it's a beautiful memory too. Geez, this anime broke me.
Thank you for reacting to this wonderful series 😁 This series holds a special place in my heart, this was one of my first anime series and the feels just hit like a fricking truck , i was depressed for a week though after that 🥲
One of the anime where you watch this and after it's finished, you're just left there contemplating about everything as if you experienced an entire lifetime in another world.
I cry with you un every episode 💔 this show break me Hearts again, but is soooo beautiful, the last part when he plays piano with clouds in back was so emotional
I've really enjoyed watching your reactions to this series. I don't think there's a single episode of any anime I've watched more than the finale of Your Lie in April. It's tragic and heartbreaking but also beautiful and a perfect finale to an excellent show. YLIA is a work of art and I'm glad we got to experience it with you
I am happy that you seen the show! It’s a beautiful show about youth, love, trauma, goodbyes and about understanding and over coming trauma. I’ve learned quite a lot from the show and I hope you enjoyed it as well ( even though it could be frustratingly heartbreaking!). About Kaori illness no one seems to precisely know what she has, except that it is terminal. The symptoms that was shown seems align that she was suffering from an illness known as Friedrich ataxia. But like I said no one seems know and is one of the few mysteries of the show. I thought I waited to comment till you ended the series, so i wouldn’t spoil your reaction if I said it is a terminal illness. Can’t wait for your next reaction!
I hate you for making me re-live this while watching your reactions... But I'm glad you did it xP Beautiful show, played with our feelings by giving us hope, and then showing us all that at the end. Too much for my heart haha In case you were wondering, some people analyzed Kaori's symptoms and concluded she suffered from Friedrichs Ataxia.
It's been such a wonderful journey with you, and the finale hit hard again as it coincides with the recent passing of my pet kitty due to an accident (which also reminded me to the loss of the kitty in the ep too hard tbh)... Waiting and watching this series with you has been a help in a great way, thank you ❤ (can't wait for bunny girl senpai!)
its been like 5 years since ive seen anything about this... but just watching these last two episodes brought everything back along with insurmountable pain...
thank you all for coming on this journey with me ❤ can’t believe it’s over! I’ll be posting my reaction to the OVA next week and then bunny girl senpai will be coming to the channel!

We sould make her reacto to plastic memories, dont you think?

Yes dude! That, and also all the other lines before
For me, the most emotional moment is when we are shown the line in the letter where Kaori wrote "I love you" in red and tears fall on this line. The emotional moment is that these are Kaori's sincere feelings, and you can't do anything about it, because all that's left of her is these lines

This show is really beautiful, and I'm glad that you get to experience this beauty as well. It was a great journey watching this show again with you, thank you so much for reacting to this show!!
It was a nice journey with you ❤️ Thank you for watching this incredible series
Your reactions for this show were genuine and it made me feel like I was watching it for the first time again. Thank you, Alana!
When you have time i recommend you to rewatch this, even on your own, just posting your second impressions on the community. I think that you didn't realize, but in 20:20 when she say that she loves him it shows us three more scenes, and in all of those scenes she spoke something that Kousei couldn't hear, all those times it was her saying "i love you". When you already knows this and watch the story it seems to be a complete other one, those and other scenes have a completely different meaning.
This is a show that once you have already watched and knows what happen's you see the hole story different, and in my opinion that is most worth to watch more than 1 time.
Sorry if the english is bad, a huge hug from Brazil, love your reactions
A internet nos une mais uma vez.
Mas sim, quando você conhece a historia todas essas cenas fazem vc se sentir mt diferente doq a primeira vez. Eu assisti essa serie umas 4 vezes, 2 foi eu e minha familia, e duas foram vendo outras pessoas assistindo. Sinceramente, eu chorei no final duas vezes e esse anime realmente mudou a minha perspectiva em varias coisa.
(But yeah, when you know the story behind all these scenes, it hits you differently. I watched this series 4 times, 2 of which was me and my family, and the other two were from other people watching. No joke, I legit cried in the last episode two times, and this anime really changed my perspective in a bunch of different things.)
wow!
Your grammar and spelling are better than most Americans, you're killing it in English, keep it up!
Years go by and I still cry myself out EVERY single time I'm rewatching the show. Such a powerful story and very emotional. I will forever love this story
I was NOT ok for a few days after finishing this show. Watching this made the tears come back. This is something you don't forget.
it's been a long time since this anime first released... and every years, whenever April comes. people will always remember this show...
I was really happy that they decided to end the show with the 1st ED, it's just so good & hits right in the feels especially with the acoustic version. The hospital roof scene, Kaori whispering "Thank you" in Kousei's ear, Kousei's final performance & the "Goodbye", Kaori's confession in the letter & the most heart breaking of all the line "A spring without you is coming" at the end man I cried my eye balls out watching these episodes. YLIA is one of the most beautiful things I've ever experienced.
6:28 Kaori occasionally quotes characters from the American comic strip "Peanuts" (Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Marcie)
The quote in this episode is from March 18, 1978.
Thank you for coming here to let her know that
She planned everything from the start and that is what made it so beautiful ❤
12:00 when he was saying how each person affected the sound I instantly knew when he said "i cant hear" kaori was going to be there because she helped him hear the sound.
I watched this show 9 years ago, when I was in high school, and I still cry every time I watch this masterpiece.😣😣
No matter how many times I've watched the letter ending, I still tear up every time.
I have seen this show so many times, and yet makes me cry every single time. One of the best entertainment masterpiece shows for me, for sure.
I forgot just how easily that final episode makes me cry. To this day, it is and always will be, one of my top three anime in existence.
This is show is a masterpiece!! Even just watching this reaction I cried so much once again, this show is just the best!
I hope you've liked it as much as I did.
I'm watching this on my lunch break and when I get back to work I have an online meeting. I'm so glad right now that my boss doesn't care if we have cams on.
Aww damn you and your reaction, it's been like two years since I finished this anime and you made me cry all over again. This reaction was beautiful
I've lost count of how many times I watched the scene on the roof of the hospital and every time I cry.
I promised that this time I wouldn't cry but I failed miserably.
The fact that I'm eating my breakfast while watching this. Chewing my food while crying with you damn T.T
Also, this anime really pushes me to be a pianist also. It inspires me a lot to love music and listen to the heart of each composition. Man, being musician is truly great.
thanks for the reaction !! I really enjoyed sharing my tears with you!
He wanted to die
She wanted to live
He lives for her
She dies for him...
The final note always gets me 🥲
They both loved each other so much and never got to tell each other in person. Only through their music. Amazing series, truly a mastapiece.
I still remember watching this anime in the summer of '16 and I've never since been able to rewatch this. I always wanted to show more people this show and watch it along with them to appreciate this piece of art once again. Thanks for giving me that opportunity to remind myself why this show sits on the top of my list with few other bangers. It truly was a sad yet beautiful experience :')
"I met the girl under the full bloomed cherry blossoms and my fate has begun to change."
~Kousei Arima
The Ballade in G minor and the letter scene always gets me everytime
Thank you so much for reacting to this. It's my favourite anime, and I don't see other reactors doing it. I cried rewatching every episode with you, and I love every comment you made about the show. Love from Argentina.
This show not only fills you with emotions and beautiful music, it changes your life. If you're lost and adrift like me, Your lie in April opens your eyes to what really matters in life, and shows you the way to get back up. Kaori will live forever in my heart too. ❤️ Thank you so much Alana, for showing your emotions😘
I just want to comment that I love that the last piece was not cluttered by dialogue from others, but is given a chance to shine on its own with just Kousei and his memories - really adds a special touch! Great reaction, as always, been a pleasure watching this show again vicariously for probably the 15th time. Looking forward to other stuff in the future!
watched it 8 years ago still bawl my eyes out every time i watch this Anime
I got emotional again seeing your reaction because I remembered how much I cried at the end of the anime. Great reaction and thanks.
One of the greatest anime ever made. And, for me, emotionally, the best one. Nothing has ever made me feel the things that YLIA made me feel. Absolutely life-changing.
Every once in a while I go back and rewatch this show, it's one of my all time favourites. Thanks for the reaction, I cried the entire time and as usual burst into all out tears when she finally tells him she loves him. xD
10:32 The way she said "We have to watch the next episode, right now" so grim and serious. Like rallying the troops after a loss in the battlefield to carry on for one final fight. 😢
I was rewatching this reaction and at 21:59 when Alana says " i can't believe you all made me watch this !" It just made my day for some reason
Just watched this anime 2 days ago again everytime it hit me to core when you realised that she came to say her goodbye to him by performing with him.
You're exactly right about this show being impactful. I saw this show when I was in 9th grade. At that point I had about a year of off-and-on weak piano practice in, and I was mildly interested in trying to learn piano versions of game soundtracks I liked. After seeing it, I was introduced to Chopin, Scriabin, Ravel, Debussy and all sorts of other romantic/impressionist composers. I grinded almost every day after school from then on in this tiny soundproofed practice room for a couple hours. By the end of high school I could play some pretty technically impressive stuff. It truly launched me into music, and now my dream is to become a composer. All just because of this show, isn't that crazy?
In the world of classical music it's very unusual to start playing when you're that old, but I stuck with it and I'm fairly good now. Not amazing, not a savant, but good. And now I have my whole life ahead of me to continue to improve. You can start training your music right now, no matter your age! I have very lofty goals for music so it's imperative I truly grind it out, but you don't necessarily need to be the same way. Just do you.
Speaking of which if any of you would like custom music commissions just DM me on twitter @LotusFlower742. Heheh, had to plug sorry!
Love you all.
Ever since this ending, I've included Kirameki (the song that plays while he's reading the letter all through the end ) into my playlist and the emotions come back whenever it plays. Such a beautiful and unforgettable story.
The moment when she said I love you for the first and last time 😭
I was very happy when a new reactor started reacting to this show so I could watch it again, and then after 22 episodes I'm asking myself, again, while crying like crazy, why am I doing this to myself 🥲
This show is as emotionally devastating as any anime I have ever watched. I watched the who series on my own over the last week, but I came here to watch the reaction, because I need to know that others share this feeling.
If you want another beautiful, pretty short anime to watch sometime, I highly recommend A Place Further Than the Universe. So well animated, and I love the characters. Its not quite as tearjerking as Your Lie in April is, but it'll still get you, especially with a couple specific episodes lol
After watching this reaction video, I can proudly say that the number of times I’ve watched the ending without crying remains firmly at zero. Kaori apologising in the letter will never not kill me.
I first decided to watch this series after I finished a more action oriented anime that left me feeling numbly disappointed by how little emotional investment I had in its ending. I was desperate to watch something that would actually make me feel something, so I stepped out of my usual genre comfort zone and checked out Your Lie in April (Id never really watched any slice of life/romantic anime before).
If it was an emotional ending I was looking for, I got way more than I had bargained for. It’s been almost two years since I finished it for the first time, and the impact the ending had on me still hasn’t gone away.
I love these reactions so much! I hope I'm not commenting too late. I was really touched by you mentioning everyone who watched this with you at the end. And of course your heart and your connection to the characters makes me feel your emotions. It shows a very human side of you. And that is really wonderful. To experience with you. You seem like a wonderful person just like the characters in this beautiful anime. Also its sad and beautiful how kaori choose to live her life to fullest knowing she probably wouldn't live much longer. The only thing she didn't do is tell Kosei that she loved him. Which is so sad. I loved this journey ^-^
This show hits every time something brings me back to it. Seeing your reaction hurts my heart in such a love filled way. Its as genuine as i felt at the moment.
Thank you for this vid and sharing these moments with us to relive the moments.
I watched Kaori’s letter scene a lot of times now and it never fails to make me tear up everytime. Thank you for watching this beautiful art!
I haven't seen this anime in years, and seeing this finale reaction made me cry again
I only have one word to rate the whole anime...
BEAUTIFUL
Everything on it. The art, the music, the lively - dark plot. The amazing bittersweet storyline. How much it dwells into the viewer " what a great anime to remember " such a beautiful anime. Dont worry Kaori you wont be forgotten
after watching the ending I went back to watch the first episode. Right at the ending of the 1st ep, for a second or two you see Kaori's eyes glimmer when she grabs Kousei's hand to drag him to the recital. Cant believe I didn't pick it up until now. Will have to rewatch the series again.
Beautiful story beautifully done
Your tears are so beautiful and your heart is so pure !
Your reaction is so great !
From Japan
I've finished this show the first time 4 days ago, and I am still reeling. I feel like I lost someone close to me. I'd like to say that it's beautiful even though it hurts, and maybe some time I can, but right now... It only hurts.
I hate the fact that I just had to search this up to find me balling again
Like idk how to explain it. Every single second of the last 3-4 episodes just takes your heart and rips it out of your chest and pile drives it to the floor. This show is the only thing that has made me cry in the past 8 years of my life. It’s a hard show to get into but it’s so damn worth it in the end. Especially when everything comes together in the end
Your Lie in April, A Silent Voice and Grave of the Firelies. No matter how many times I rewatch them, I always bawl my eyes out.
Forget questions of "best anime ever", and what-not. For me, this is one of the greatest works of art ever - whatever the genre, whatever the medium.
As they ask, over and over : "Did it reach them?"
The impact of their story has me shell-shocked. It's reached me on so many levels, in so many ways, I'm still trying to unravel it all.
This is a story of meaning.
This is art.
It's been a long time since I had such a good time in a reaction, thank you very much!
That Kaori's letter scene... never fails to bring my tears. 🥺 It was a definitely wonderful, but totally sad show. Although I dont like sad ending and resisted to watch it, I changed my mind when you decided to watch. I dont regret but still hurts every time. Thank you for your beautiful reaction.
It's good to know, that we ALL cryed TOGETHER. Thank you all.
I thought 8 years would be enough to not make me ball when watching this end episode but nope.
This was one of the first anime I've watched and 250+ anime later this still is the most beautiful and my favorite anime. Very well done and I'm glad you got to see this too!
If you didn't know, it's a running thing in this show where she'll quote Charlie Brown at the end of episodes or scenes I beleive. SO when she says "Charlie Brown" or "Marcie," she's saying inspirational Peanuts quotes.
No matter how I try. Everytime I got with this finale reaction , I cry a damn ocean.
It's just something so incredibly sad yet beautiful. I just can't 😭😭
" I love you" in Your lie in April and " I want to eat your pancreas" in I want to eat your pancreas always hit hard and tears come out unconsciously. The both anime, I want to eat your pancreas and Your lie in April , always take a special place in my heart that no other movie or story can ever take.
the first time I watched this show I didn’t even cry and now you have me bawling my eyes out rn 😭😭
Watched this show, and specifically this endong over 5 times, and every single time i cry like a baby... holy this still hits like a truck! A true masterpiece
The first and only show to leave me staring at my screen for over 10 minutes after finishing it, just staring, without any specific reaction with a knot in my throat...
I genuinely love how every reactor I've seen react to this episode thus far knows Kaori's fate as soon as she starts playing in the vision. When she appears they're always like "Wait, does that mean she...?" and then she starts playing and it hits. It was the same for me.
6:38 Please don't apologize. It's why you're one of my favorite reactors on TH-cam. You don't talk OVER the show, while others talk and over-explain constantly (and makes me question if they actually are seeing whatever content they're seeing for the first time -- who wants to listen to someone like that). Especially with these two episodes. You can't really say much but just take it all in, however painful it might be.
That is the saddest I love you moment. It kills me every time and I saw it did the same for Alana. 20:28
the picture at the end hits really hard. Like if we wouldn't had suffered enough with the whole letter already
"your looking down again" that line always gets me.... great series, i really enjoyed seeing your reactions!!
Millionth time finishing this masterpiece, millionth time being just as hurt, awestruck, heartbroken, heartwarmed, and every emotion just as much as the first time I watched it as it came out week to week. Glad to have been along for the journey again here. And don't worry, I was crying the whole time you were too lol
Thanks for watching this with me, it is so heart breaking
I watched Your Lie in April in English dub and when she said-" Here is the truth Kousei,I love you,I love you,I love you..." At that moment my heart broke into tiny pieces,I paused the video and cried for a minute.😭
What can I say that others haven’t already, but thank you for letting me remember how incredible this show is. It’s impactful when watching alone but seeing someone watch it and go through the same emotions is really special too.
I still remember when I first watched Your Lie in April , I binged the whole 22 episodes , i started at midnight and it was just a rollercoaster of emotions .
"We all need someone to kiss us good-bye" Marcie, love the Peanuts Quotes thrown around in the show ❤
I just finished this anime not to long ago. I don't think I ever cried more. The VAs, Japanese and dubbed, lent so much to bring these characters to life. I was destroyed when the ending happened, but it's a beautiful memory too. Geez, this anime broke me.
Thank you for reacting to this wonderful series 😁
This series holds a special place in my heart, this was one of my first anime series and the feels just hit like a fricking truck , i was depressed for a week though after that 🥲
You are so cute when you cry😅
I am happy for rewatcing the series with you. Thank you for your honest emotions❤🌷🌷
A great journey! That letter always hits so hard.
But I'm sooo ready for some Sakuta greatness and Sakuta+Mai wholesomeness!
Yeap! you are all of us on this last 2 episodes, this show is that powerful and beautifull, ty for the journey !
One of the anime where you watch this and after it's finished, you're just left there contemplating about everything as if you experienced an entire lifetime in another world.
Man, the letter scene makes me cry but the moment they show the picture of little Kaori and Kousei, I bawl!
I cry with you un every episode 💔 this show break me Hearts again, but is soooo beautiful, the last part when he plays piano with clouds in back was so emotional
If you want to watch something like that i recomend "i want go eat your pankreas" the moovie
I've really enjoyed watching your reactions to this series. I don't think there's a single episode of any anime I've watched more than the finale of Your Lie in April. It's tragic and heartbreaking but also beautiful and a perfect finale to an excellent show. YLIA is a work of art and I'm glad we got to experience it with you
Making me cry all over again man 🥹
No matter how many times I see the ending I get tears in my eyes 😂😭 such a beautiful show one of my favorite slice of life romance animes ngl
That moment when you realise what the title actually means just gives you chills
I am happy that you seen the show! It’s a beautiful show about youth, love, trauma, goodbyes and about understanding and over coming trauma. I’ve learned quite a lot from the show and I hope you enjoyed it as well ( even though it could be frustratingly heartbreaking!).
About Kaori illness no one seems to precisely know what she has, except that it is terminal. The symptoms that was shown seems align that she was suffering from an illness known as Friedrich ataxia. But like I said no one seems know and is one of the few mysteries of the show. I thought I waited to comment till you ended the series, so i wouldn’t spoil your reaction if I said it is a terminal illness. Can’t wait for your next reaction!
What a blast, glad you enjoyed it! Can’t wait to see more of your reactions
I hate you for making me re-live this while watching your reactions... But I'm glad you did it xP
Beautiful show, played with our feelings by giving us hope, and then showing us all that at the end. Too much for my heart haha
In case you were wondering, some people analyzed Kaori's symptoms and concluded she suffered from Friedrichs Ataxia.
It's been such a wonderful journey with you, and the finale hit hard again as it coincides with the recent passing of my pet kitty due to an accident (which also reminded me to the loss of the kitty in the ep too hard tbh)... Waiting and watching this series with you has been a help in a great way, thank you ❤ (can't wait for bunny girl senpai!)
Chopin, Ballade 1 in g minor op 23, my all time favorite piece from Chopin, but with the violin, i fell in love with it again
its been like 5 years since ive seen anything about this... but just watching these last two episodes brought everything back along with insurmountable pain...
Sometimes i come back watching some reactions of this episode and everytime i'm ready to get hurt again. So sad but so beautiful.
One of the best ones I've seen yet, didn't expect anything and I got so much from it. Messed me up for the better.
