    Your Lie in April is a show I watch every year in April. It’s one of my favorite shows of all time and it’s weird that it’s here on letterboxd but I’m glad that it is. It’s a show that to me is perfect in every aspect and not many shows have impacted me the way that this show does. The animation is one of the best that I’ve ever seen. The colors are bright and vibrant, and the character designs are beautifully drawn. The show’s use of light and shadow is used in a unique way by creating a sense of depth and emotion that draws me in. The animation is especially incredible during the musical performances, which are…

    Dear Arima Kousei, It feels weird writing a letter to someone you were just with… You’re the worst. Indecisive. Gullible. Twit. The first time I ever saw you perform, I was 5 years old. It was at a recital for the piano school I was going to. This awkward, clumsy kid came onto the stage and accidentally hit the piano stool with his butt. It was too funny. He turned to the piano that was way too big for him and the moment he played that first note, I was drawn in. The sound was beautiful, like a 24-colour palette. The melodies danced. The girl next to me started crying. I wasn’t expecting that at all. And even so, you…

    wouldn’t really be into anime but this absolutely floored me, what a beautiful piece of media and art. it has changed my perspective on playing music and on emotions as a whole. one of those shows that has altered my brain chemistry, indefinitely i’m sure. i’m at a loss for words, like a person in space looking back at earth, realising that some things in the world don’t matter. what really matters is how you feel, and how you made others feel throughout your life.

    a sickening truth that love, no matter how consuming, cannot always save someone from what has been consuming them long before love ever arrived, like what the genuinely fuck
