What's in an OP? - The Truth Behind Your Lie in April
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- A way too deep analysis of anime openings. This week, the best show of 2014 reveals its deepest secrets right as the credits roll.
What's in an OP? has now moved to Sundays, where it will stay for the foreseeable future. Still plan on releasing these every other week, but Sunday seems like a better day for it. As always, feedback is appreciated - I want to make these videos as good as humanly possible.
Songs Used: Hikaru Nara standard and instrumental versions by Goose House
Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (Your Lie in April) anime produced by A-1 Pictures based on a manga of the same name written by Naoshi Arakawa and published by Kodansha.

The message of this was
"You see that bird?"
"Yeah"
"She is dead"
I don't know if I should laugh or cry
@@-ankoku3084 just follow your heart
@@wickz-deadbeats5619 I would be okay with her dying, if we got to see them together, like properly together. Fuck the end shit when she was dying it was just too painful. FUCK IT LET ME FORGET IT ALREADY!!
"...because she is DEAD"
If she was that bird she can go to Kousei's house
I swear Kaori is smart af she planned all of that just to meet Kousei
CyanToday okay im crying again-
Ikr
well she did it because of *i dont want any regrets before i went away*
Wh!z4rd _ and now i'm crying
Too bad she's gone. I truly miss her and loved her
Every video with your lie in april:
Dear Arima Kousei,
lmao god dammit
It’s annoying more than sad at this point
Dear Arima Kousei,
Ikr it's getting annoying
Also,we have
拝啓 有馬公生様
Most anime girls: confess at the end of the anime
Kaori: confesses after she dies
Just like I want to eat your pancreas. Now I feel empty
As much as we wanted her to say it before it would make everyone sad(Tsubaki coz she like Arima,Watari coz he liked her back and Arima coz she would ultimately
Smart girl. Confessing AFTER your death means there's no risk involved!
Ethical Clasher the name is weird
B-b-big b-brain tt-time.
your lie in april = I cry in april
I even watched the anime in April. He He he *cries
This anime broke me huhuhu
fuck you
Hahha
Is it because I was born in April
"A Spring Without You Is Coming"
I get goosebumps every time i read or hear this sentence
Ow
@AymaNosic *we're all hoping*
They were such an assholes to shot someone already done with this last sentence
Eva A. I just finished it yesterday 😭😭so good,so sad. can’t believe it ended like this
"And here again she has her eyes closed, because she's tired. Orrr dead!" I didn't know it was possible to laugh and sob uncontrollably at the same time.
killer slowpoke Ikr the whole 7 minutes was basically me crying and omg also wondering how he even realized this cause woah
Ikr
killer slowpoke i laughed, then it condescended to crying uncontrollably
тrιηѕυ -TKO-
Lol
killer slowpo
Please don't tell me I'm the only one who still cries when I think about this show.
you are NOT , its make me cry everytime I just THINK aboUt IT
No dont worry mate same here i start cryin a little when i start thinkin about this series
HELL NAH
I feel immense pain inside me whenever I think about it to the point I regret watching this animie
I got you, homie
When you realize that if Kaori ended up living we would be happy and move on and forget it but now that she is dead, we will never forget it cause it hurts so much.
Kaori- “promise me, you won’t forget!”
So true
Maybe thats the point? We will remeber your lie in april we wont forget it
@@enkhnaranchinbayar8162 Maybe the animator did this on purpose.
@@ediedevine5023 hahhhhhhhhh, good anime but so tragic.
Facts
I cried for 4 hour straight after finishing this anime. I’ve never been so emotionally attached to an anime character before. I cry every time I start thinking of it..
I cry if I think about it too long
YourAverageMari Me too
YourAverageMari Sometimes I do it at school, and people are like, “Why are you crying?” And I say, “You wouldn’t understand...”
Feel ya I watched it 2 days ago and I just can't be ok with the ending
Try to divert myself to get suck into other anime or do something else, didn't work so well because this anime really gets me emotionally attached
I will never see this OP the same again. :(
same
Same T.T ... it freaks me out ! Tag in its friday... speaking of death ! WTH !
OP means an Opening
It's been ruined for me ;-;
Yuno the Yandere Queen to me it's been enhanced!
I did not cry watching this anime even once.
My lie in April 2020.
I didn't cry either I was just sweating an overwhelming amount from my eyes!
Same here
Well i cried so much my house started flooding
its funny bcz all the three time ive watched this anime i always fall in love with kaori and always and up crying my eyeballs out to the point where my mom was like did you watch that one sad piano anime again??
i swear i always know its coming but i never ready , shes just so sweet and so was kousei
I didn’t cry when Kaori died I was too shocked to even feel anything but when they showed that flashback of Kosei getting abused, I cried lmao
Two aspects of this show that made it as tragic as it was is the powerlessness and unfairness. Even though Kousai loved Kaori so much, he couldn't do anything to save her. Not him, her friends, her parents or the surgeons. She didn't want to die. She was scared of being left alone. She was so young with unbound potential. Her future was taken away from her and its incredibly unfair and heartbreaking. For someone as young as 14, being on a gradual decline to death is so mentally taxing and depressing. No young teen should have to worry about not being able to experience everything life has to offer. She never had a first kiss, never was told that she was loved by a significant other. She never got to confess her love to Kousai in person. She never got to experience adulthood...i could go on.
She was just too joyous, pure and she gave it her all to help Kousai out of his despair. Even when he'd lost all hope in himself, Kaori was there for him. She never gave up on him. She couldn't have given up on him. It's not in her nature to give up on others, even when they can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. And as soon as Kousai was turning a new leaf and is feeling the spirit of living, thats when his first true love is slowly being taken away from him. And there is nothing he can do about it. Life is cruel.
I know this story is fiction and i make it sound like this actually happened, but the thing is is that this is a very real scenario. Poor young kids who have aspirations and dreams, get their lives tragically cut short without anything that can be done about it. The grief that they go through, the parents, friends etc. Truly, life is cruel.
It's all these things that really made me break down in tears. And i'll tell you, they weren't joyous tears. I seriously cannot watch shows like this ever again. My despair and sorrow is insurmountable after this concluded.
All i can say is thank you Kaori for being the angel Kousai needed. You gave him a life full of happiness and resolve. Truly, gone too soon.
❤
The same feeling . The problem is fucking life too cruel. I have pain because of unfairness and powerless. I started to cry when kousei close his eye in pain when he saw Kaori in his play. He must accept that she is dead and he must move on live.
I literally got goosebumps from reading this. Thank you.
I literally felt something was very wrong with this anime the second chapter, still followed till the fourth but then went online to see if it would have a bad ending, lucky I did because I can't watch another heartbreaking ending like this either so I had to stop, I was already way too into the characters by then, nevermind watching another 18 episodes, it just destroys me completely.
@@Skarpo89 yes I also did the same thing I when I saw that she was in and out of hospital I right away searched on internet that she is going to die or live. But we all know what happened I stopped I watching it at 17 episode for 2 weeks. But out of curiosity I watched the last episode. And that was too emotional to for me to handle I just can't bare emotional anime.
I feel like I'm back in my English class again, but with anime.
+Jeeyoung Whang (황지영) But actually good
SAME
If english class was like this, i think we's all pass
+xD1v1neSoulx No, I'd never get this on my own. That's why this channel is so great.
AP liiiiiiit
I thought the lie meant "we are going to perform once more together" but then she would die but it was the obvious instead, love.
Same. The anime was perfect though
that insta killed me
just me I fukin cried
They did once more as she dies she was there with kosie
TierTwo it woulda been perfect if she didn't die. If miracles can happen (Kousei playing the piano again), why can't it happen for Kaori? I seriously want to cry but no tears are coming out.
It is April. Time to rewatch, cry for a few days, then set a reminder for next April.
That's what I done!
I don’t need that because my bday is in April and every time its mu bday, it always makes me want to cry
Also set for August, for Anohana.
JKSJSKSK MEE
We are in April my guy, time to cry
Nobody:
Literally Nobody:
You: Let me remind you AGAIN-Kaori is DEAD
Dammit stop hurtung my feelings😭😭😭
I'm so sad that Kaori is dead 😭😭😭 but I think it's a good finale, not a happy one, but a good one.
She may be gone, but we know she'll be in everyone's heart and she will never be forgotten, cause like she said.. "please don't forget me." And for me, that's a promise
Why am i writing this...
😭😭
Bruh that ending had me sobbing for a good twenty minutes though. It was such an emotional roller coaster of an anime. I think I'm gonna start it up again
Angel Beats made me cry,
Violet Evergarden had me weep,
You Lie In April freakin brought me to my knees
Isn't angel beats a musical?
Shit even musicals make you cry oh shit oh fuck
@@thatguy1806 Its not a musical, its a great anime tho. Its on Netflix if you want to watch it
Wow, I'm glad I read this. This actually sums it up perfectly and I feel the same way about the 3 series as well.
But what about plastic memories
Assassination Classroom made me bawl like a child before my mother, for the first time as a grown man
So basically this anime was perfection
Basically (＞ｙ＜)
This anime game me a fvck you then hired a ninja cutting onions..
Basically.
+NamatoShi ahahahahaha that made me laugh so hard... Well not really I kept it in but.... Still it was hilarious!!
***** seems legit
when she kept saying things like she wouldn’t be there forever example “kousei you know I won’t always be here for you” gave it away but I still cried like a baby when she died
That's the charm of this masterpiece. They give death flags for her from early on throughout the show and her death STILL hits hard and makes you cry. Just says how amazing the show was.
@@asit6947 i'm just going to recommend " i want to eat your pancreas " . The girl dies.
I would call it a spoiler but the movie literally starts with her funeral. So that means we knew she was dead all along but when she really died, we still get shocked. Definitely one of the best movies i have ever seen. Like they literally show her funeral and then tell us what really happened. And i'll leave the rest for you to find out, cuz i don't want to spoil it for you.
I wasnt even too sure she would die before I got spoilered. In my opinion there was a possability, the hope that she would survive. Thats what made the hints to great. They basically told us "She is going to die", but also held open the option that she could survive to form that happy Ending
@@asit6947 I think its bc we all have faith that she's going to survive the surgery and boom she dies. I can already swim in my tears at this point ;-;
I cried like a baby too. I didn't even pay attention to detail, I was just enjoying the show, and then BAM! Someone hits me in the head with the *BIG SAD* stick when episode 22 came on. I will never forget or recover from this show.
There are so many deep meanings and hidden messages in this anime. Your Lie In April truly is perfection. RIP Kaori T^T. We wont forget.
Isaac Tucknott im 11 and i watch it XD its very addicting
I normally don't cry, and for some reason I cry more when I'm angry. But this series quite literally made me cry myself to sleep.
Why are you on this video if you haven't watched the anime it's nothing but spoilers...
But you came here knowing there would be spoilers is what i'm saying
I was depressed for weeks after watching it
5:45 subtitles, got me dead 😂
“Because you know she’s dead [we get it you monster]”
😂😅😭🙌
:D Lol, I didn't watch with subs. Thank you comment section. :D
[WE GET YOU MONSTER]
RUclips roasting youtubers 😂😂😂
i can’t see itttt anyone may know why?
Your Lie in April OP:
Me: Oh this is gonna be a happy/energetic show huh?
Your Lie in April OP: Lol no
This is the first time I have seen a comment with this many likes not having a reply... But ya your comment brought me out of depression for a moment....xd
@@shreyass5756 so depressing anime.. In which we already know what will gonna happen in end but still we feel sad 😔 😢
@@sanchit6107 yeah bro. 😔😖
Title is messed up like i want to eat your pancreas and bunny girl senpai etc. Always makes me think a anime with those title is sad
Me: "Perfection doesn't exist"
Kaori : "Hold my violin"
TBH, perfection was in the piano of Kousei not in the violin of Kaori.
so , '' you are perfection itself. ''
'' MUSIC IS PERFECTION ! ''
"Seriously, im pretty much freaking paralyzed here"
Gimme ma violin*
same can be said about omori
Their first performance-
Was their last performance.
(edit: IM SO SORRY YALL LMAO)
Jepp😭😭😭
FCK :c
What about the one in Kousei's mind when they were playing in heaven?
@@SuperCreeper38 That one was in Kousei's mind when they were playing in heaven... so it wasn't real
Omg ya wtf
"the rest of the time she keeps them [her eyes] closed because she's tired...OR DEAD"
well damn
Cla Rice HIHI I WATCHED IT CAUSE DAN RECOMMENDED IT
Cla Rice on a younow ages ago i think
lol saaame
yourguardianangel I love the opening scene of YLIA! It's way better than the 2nd one tbh
Cla Rice obviously! the first op is my fav
yourguardianangel and *hides under table* idk I kinda ship Tsubaki x Kousei iM SORRY (also do you watch other animes like Attack On Titan, Tokyo Ghoul, etc.?)
Holy crap. This analysis is fucking perfect. Thank you.
I'd love to see the second OP's analysis as well, since I think that one is much weaker.
Agreed
Oh yeah xD
it's creepy perfect, though. xD
I HATE the second one. Love the first, HATE the second. It's just so... *sigh*... I dunno, the first one is perfect, then the second I couldn't even be bothered to watch the whole thing.
I think the second OP was a good fit for end credits, not for an opening. This opening should have lasted the entire run of the show, which wasn't long anyway.
when i watched it for the first time, i genuinely thought it’d be a lighthearted slice of life anime about music. I didn’t really read the description, I just watched it. if only i knew what i was getting myself into. and now, every time i re watch it, every time i finish the final episode, i get an overwhelming urge to go straight back to episode 1, when everything was okay, as if turning back time to when it was okay. except that it’s not okay because i know exactly what happens. even when i know what happens i still cry uncontrollably.
i just finished the last episode right now at 5am and that’s the first thing I did.. I went straight back and watched ep.1 to see things when they were okay :(
Hey I mean, in episode 1 Kousei was definitely not okay. I think the main takeaway of the show is to accept that this kind of thing happens, and that you must not stop it from moving on. Feeling sad or lonely is natural but it’s only a part of being human.
I cried as I listened to his analysis and explanation :(
Same :(
Yup, same here.
Yes.
After the first ep I knew she would die
This anime broke my heart to pieces ;-;
I wasn't crying unstoppable, I just accidentally dropped a piece of an onion in my pupil
Mine Lie in March
Mine Truth out January
Don't worry, i have sweaty eye balls too, usually during anime tho, specially this one, i don't know why! So strange right?
My phone smells like an onion so i cried too.....lol
Now it's november
just like me
This Anime isn't like all the other Anime. It's not only for Entertainment. It is art, and this op represents it perfectly
It depicts a bit of teenage love triangles and first loves too!
I agree, Your lie in April is one of the most beautiful anime I have ever watched, and it's been a year since I have watched
High score girl
Everyone: *has a crush on somebody*
Watori: *im just here, uh...*
I always saw his character as just horny
Watari is a playerrrr
I think he is playboy or something
In the end, it shows him talking to some chick and then he looks down at his phone, revealing a pic of kaori and him.
This shows that even though he mightve been a player, she affected him in a special way like no other girl had
Little did we know, Watori was looking at the audience. He was trying to find as many girls as possible. He doesn’t have a crush on SOMEBODY. He has a crush on EVERYONE.
*can never listen to the opening without thinking this*
watching this is like sprinkling salt over my open-wounded heart
I'd rather experience that than this emotional trauma
Jeez that hurts
Add hand sanitizer
Glad that I'm watching this video AFTER I finished watching the anime... DON'T WATCH THIS IF YOUR AREN'T FINISHED
Too late
Too late
Wish I saw this comment first
Well fuck
Spoiled already.
Sh*t
The fact that this was recommended to me on April 1,2020...

Old video but,
What's really sad is that Koari never knew that Kousei loved her too.
Just finished this anime, and it's soo good/sad/beautiful.
Imma be honest she prolly did. It was lowkey pretty telegraphed
@@natejones5142 yea I think you're right. Mother's Basement broke this video down nicely.
@@Will-jg2zs definitely
I always found it upsetting that Kousei didn’t know Koari loved him. I mean obviously at least not until the very end. But during that final duet in their final goodbye he says “I don’t care if I’m just friend A” so during that entire sequence he still felt like he was just a friend to her and idk it bothered me a bit.
Ikr it got me thinking shit. If only that lie never existed but instead she turned it into a fking mastermind for a heist 😤
"Sayonara"
The first one was painful but freeing. The second one was well... just painful.
This guy could solve the Kira case just by watching the op

finally something funny.
This anime needs to be renamed; "Attack on Tearducts"
-+Yoshiga Victory (yoshiga123) OMG SO TRUE!!! I'VE FINISHED THIS ANIME AND RE-WATCHED IT ABOUT 3 TIMES AND I STILL CRY
+Viraliii still waiting for an alternate ending or remake of the manga/anime.. :-/
+brigateds89 I mean the ending was still extremely amazing even tho all i did was cry
+Viraliii ooouu i'm hating the end, it's so sad.. for me it's so illogical that Kousei smiles in the end.. i hoped for a happy end, would be better, and the story could be continued, but now.. ever continue would feel sadder and sadder..
+brigateds89 Omg i agree with that but like even tho she dies it makes me cry but idk it just went so well together so why not😂 Alsooo that one line at the end kills me everytime, "Spring, the season i met u is coming. Spring, a season without u is coming"
(spoiler warning. - duh)
scroll down and/or click 'read more' to see the comment.
The black cat is also symbolic of Kaori. Or rather, it is in the series, I can't say if it applies to the opening as much as the series itself...
But consider,
-when Koari randomly calls Kousei, a black cat starts rubbing his leg at the same time.
-He explicitly compares her behaviour to a cat, in that if he chases her, she runs away, but if he lets her come to him she's fine.
Later, that same (or maybe a different one) black cat gets hit by a car, and he hurriedly carries it to a vet, only to be told it didn't make it, despite his desperate efforts, and foreshadowing kaori worsening substantially not too long after.
Kaori's choice of stationary, and the letters she writes to kousei have cat pawprint motifs, and the envelopes are sealed with a sticker shaped like a black cat's head.
And, most telling of all, the final shot of the series, where kosei mentions it being spring again, when he met Kaori, and how this is the first spring without her.
Exactly as he mentions her, a black cat looks in the direction of the camera from the other side of the railway crossing, and after the train passes, it's gone.
Combined with the exact timing of the words spoken, the cat clearly is a symbolic stand-in for Kaori in that final shot.
Now, sure, the opening's symbology is slightly different, but this symbolism in the series itself is also quite obvious....
Good analyzed man :) i miss Kaori

*Madoka Magica* *ahem*
Try grave of the fireflies. It’s so emotionally heart wrenching that I have yet to finish it
"The lie that brought you into my life"
Maybe I should lie more often then
I watched the anime while previously spoiled about the ending. So every time I saw Kaori on screen all happy and energetic I was like: ''Oh no, how could you do this :C ''. Over time she gets more and more pale, and it just really reminded me of how much I hate seing a person wither away. Obviously, the conclusion to her journey was heartbreaking. One specific thing bugs me tho, and that is, there is no one to blame. She was sick, and died. Its like no one asked her whether she wanted to live or not. A cruel destiny gradually delivered in small doses. Most of the time, when characters die, they are either killed, kill themselves, or die of old age. But, I find that a young person dying from an illness is the most unjust outcome of all, especially if it takes its sweet ass time, accompanied by pain and fear for ones life.
So this is your first reply
I cried every time there would be a flashback and Kaori's hair was so yellow and then it goes back to the present and her hair is so faded 😭😭😭😭 I don't think I will ever be able to fully recover from this show
@@luna4515 hey I recovered by watcing it more if you watch it more you will understand that you don't need to be sad cause even though it's depressing it's almost a happy ending
*_-or I'm a depressed boi-_*
@@yael2346 I don't think I'll be able to bring myself to watch it again anytime soon but eventually ill rewatch it I want to see what it's like dubbed 😂
I was spoiled of the ending as well and man, every time she was on screen my parents shut their door so they wouldn’t hear me cry. And you see kousei’s character progression vs her fading from this world. How did I take her death? I just told myself I don’t want to become a ghost of my former self and started becoming the best version of myself. I am excited, my 14th spring is coming.
I love Kaori, I couldn't stop crying when she died. She was so energetic and tough. I'll never forget her or this anime.
PS- where does Watari's kicked ball go?
Maanav Amin Same here. What got me was that when she gave colour to Kousei's life, her own colours started to fade away. It's really, really sad.
Play 4:21 at 0.25x and you'll know
@@noobita4983 why did it turn into a softball?
Lam Bo Xian As far as I saw it her colours faded when she became completely unable to play music. But she regained some of it back after she had the goal to play with Kousei once more.
So in my opinion it represents their outlook on life bleak and monochrome when they’ve already given up and colorful and bright as soon as they fight for what they want to achieve.
At 2:10 if you notice there are music themed backgrounds each of the backgrounds describe the character's relationship with one another. Kousei and Kaori being the accompanist lines are Kousei as he needs the highlighted line being Kaori in order to complete the story of the song. Tsubaki and Kousei being the bass clef which is siblings with treble clef which shows the brother-sister part of their relationship. Watari and Tsubaki since they are both athletes it makes since that they are shown off sixteenth notes since they are slightly faster than the rest of the group. Kaori and Watari are forte since they are louder when they are together. When Kaori falls over that background is an abnormal really fast rhythm and if you think back to when she coded at the hospital it kinda makes since. The next thing I noticed is when the empty swing is shown behind it is a blank staff with no rhythm because its blank. I haven't figured out what the other notes in the opening could be but those are the ones that stand out to me. Its really hard to see the meanings behind the music backgrounds if you haven't studied music for most of your life but I thought it might interest some people to know this.
Ghost Britt wow
I know it's late but ffs hire this man
this commment needs to be recognized
There are sixteenth notes, however it only shows with eighth notes when Maori starts falling, good theory but that was the only mistake
I know it's late, but this is an awesome in depth analysis of the op from a musical perspective. As a music nerd, I greatly enjoyed this reflection on the op, thanks for sharing!
This dude analysed it better than my English teacher
I loved how you kept emphasizing that Kaori's dead.
I know right >
"Cos she's dead..." *DIDJA GET THAT!?! SHE'S DEAD, GUYS!!!!*
*Meanwhile...*
*STOP REMINDING ME!!!* I'm trying to hold back my feels that never left..... in April....
"Because she's dead" he just says it so dry but funny, which is weird considering what he's saying
"Because she's tired, OR DEAD" well Jesus dun rub it in our faces D':
Holy crap that brought back so many emotions
Wow I had no idea, looking forward to more
Baka Oppai the legend himself speaks
Senpai noticed me! I'm legit honored, dude.
Everyone: is listening to man’s facts

Your so lucky I finished the anime before watching this
Same here! The foreshadowing was quite obvious, but I'm glad I wasn't spoiled.
Now you know. Don't watch these videos if you don't want spoilers.
I was mildly spoiled about Kaori's fate (plus they kind of hammer it through your skull at different points in the show anyway), but none of that mattered in the end. That last episode got me and hit me hard.
I just finished watching the show, and despite having a pretty good idea how it would end, I cried so much. Knowing does not always make it easier to handle.
+MaskOflce I feel EXACTLY the same way. I called she was gonna die episode 4. I have just finished watching it. Tears are still streaming down my face. I though I was ready. I thought I could handle it. I thought I had built an impenetrable armour around my heart. I thought wrong.

Tbh who didn't? I cried more on Shigatsu then Clannad, Angel Beats, and Anohana combined.
in angel beats the girl and boy meet again in real world... i didn't cry in angel beats
Liimestone Didn't cry for Angel beats true but it is sad not only at the end but though out the episode in my opinion
same
I knew something was up with this OP
I had a sudden urge to cry every time an episode started
This is why I love Japanese.
yeah, i didn't have any spoilers, but every time the opening started i felt some sadness and was like "something's gonna happen"
Shit, I skipping OP hehe
Browww I do to lmao
Well I will never forgive the Japanese for taking her away 😭😭😭😭
I’ll rewatch this anime every April, it’s going to be one more without Kaori..
LeMisho same here bro! But I hope that’s not the ending 😭😭
Fabulous job on this one. I really great examination of the OP, and I can't really argue with a single thing you said.
I just finished _Your Lie In April_ on Thursday, and, damn, what a heart-breaker that series is! I spent the next 4 hours at work thinking, "Not gonna cry. Not gonna cry. Not gonna cry." This is definitely in my top 5 favourite shows of all time. Not just for anime, but in general!
David Loewen To me, this is #1, unless I find another one that actually can make me cry.
This is my MOST FAVORITE! Honestly nothing can beat the beautiful and emotional impact this anime can give.
It’s April time to rewatch
I can barely look at pictures from this anime without crying...
So I decide to watch this.
I love bawling.
Megan Gaskarth dang lol
Tsubaki crying endlessly and uncontrollably
Ask what I’m doing right now...
In one of the episodes towards the end, Arima and Kaori are in a grassy field near a little bridge. At that moment, it was also night time and there were also fireflies.
When Arima was walking away he said something along the lines of getting to play with her again *i think* but as he walks off Kaori stops smiling and says silently
That she won’t be there for much longer which kinda embraces what was said at the end about how the black cat and fireflies promote her inevitable death.
*_Who always hums or sings the intro of 'Your lie in april' when ever and what ever???_*
I do lmao
this is the maximum level of being an overthinker. props man
Bro. You just fucking blew my mind you know that. Now I know why I loved this opening so much now.
me : struggling with depression
this video: yo i heard that you have depression
I hear you! Not a good anime to watch if you are depressed. It will stay on your mind long after it's over. I started watching it months ago, but stopped after the first episode because I wasn't sure I could take the ending. Picked it up again a week ago and watched the whole thing in two days. Very sad ending, but a great anime. I just don't think I'd ever watch it again knowing how the ending will hit me.
@@patluvsvettes dude this show gave me depression
This anime is a masterpiece.
"Your lie in april"
the title is being told in kousei's perspective....If not the real title would've been "Kaori's lie in april." (Considering that she told a single lie. That she likes Watari.)
i think she had her finger on her lip and her eyes closed because from the start we could tell that kaori likes kousei. So she was telling us to keep it a secret. Like her lie.
I usually skip OP's after watching them a few times, but with this one I couldn't seem to.
I now know why.
sometimes i don’t even watch ops at all or only once, this opening was the only one (yet) i’ve never skipped
I think you're missing something on the final scene.
I agree with everything you're saying about the fireflies, kaori's footprints etc. But i think you're missing something that i might have picked up on.
When Kousei smiled and turned, I think he was smiling about two things.
1. Like you said, he was looking back on kaori's foot prints to where she ended up and he smiled sorrowfully about kaori's untimely demise.
2. While it's going down the footprints we see the black, blue-eyed cat. I think he is smiling about the cat also, because he came to terms with the trauma that was stopping him from playing and his smile was regretful that he couldn't be with the person who helped him overcome such a great obstacle.
I think the footprints and the cat represent the other world, like the place where they are both dead her mother and Kaori
You read sooo well into this OP. I'm really amazed! As someone who studied literature, I did the same thing (though with written works like poems and books instead of visuals like anime), so I can really appreciate this video and how you analysed it. Great job! Wish I could give it more likes. :D
The second parts ending song is the real tear jerker. Especially after Kaori realizes that she really doesn't want to die.
Yess i think u and i re the only one who rllt saw dat song and scenery different, bro i was bawling everytime it came on..i think in the second half of the from anime ep 12 they just decided to finally murder us, if u notice thats wen the songs, themes, Revelations and sadness kicked in
@@gabrielilonze1874 Everyone knows that song is different. How could you even think you were the only ones? If you knew what that song means to me.
I can never watch anything about this anime without remembering watching it in high school and suggesting it to a hard core otaku friend with the disclaimer of sad but good when she asked about anime suggestions.
She came to school 3 days later with bright red eyes stormed up smacked the back of my head growled that she hated me and ignored me for two weeks afterwards....ahhhhhh good times.
I’ve recommended this to two of my friends, without a warning... I’m still waiting for their reactions, I know that one of them started watching the first episode (but then homework got in the way) but I have no idea with the other
@@lukaseldenrust2637 what did they say? (I'm guessing they have finished by now??)
@@lukaseldenrust2637 Yo, we need to know!
@@lukaseldenrust2637 Really left us hangin’
Mango Tango they haven’t, or at least haven’t told me... I do know that both of them are watching Haikyuu right now (seeing as I also roped them both into my volleyball team) altho the one who hadn’t started yet before was half way done last time I checked
this anime left me in tears for 3 days straight. But I'll never regret watching it.
this shit made me cry so hard at the end.
What's in an Opening? Easy. It's SPOILERS!!!
ikr😅😅
Azurewrath X TRU 😂😂😂😂😂
Azurewrath X example : sword art online ,Hitman reborn,One punch man? i dont know
jie wong fairy tail
Azurewrath X Not really because all of these are symbolic so you won't realise/realize what they mean after you finish the series, but I can say the things in the OP are indirect spoilers.
It's hard to believe the title considering the lie was just Kouri doesn't like Watari. I always thought the lie was more complex and deeper than that.
And that was the funniest outro I've ever heard lmfao
The lie was basically her saying she liked Watari when she was actually in love with Kosei.
WHYY WHHYY DID SHE HAVE TO DIE......this is what I get from anime...GOD BLESS ANIME
The simplicity of that lie was what made me cry(tears of happiness) because I was expecting what you were
I actually think it's much more than that...there are so many lies in that anime that we don't exactly know which one the title is refering to. There is, of course, Kaori's lie about liking Watari, but Kousei also lied about his feelings for her, and he lied to himself when he says he couldn't and didn't want play piano again, that he could live without it. And they're also the fact that Kaori and Kousei are musicians and performers, they lie by instinct, almost, when they're onstage: when they play, they're not exactly themselves but a combinaiton of them, the music and the public, they also seem so in control when the music kinda escapes them ...didn't Kaori say the created thé most beautiful lie of all when they're performing?
( sorry for the long ass comment though XD)
fans: how many spoilers will we get in the op?
animator: YES
Omg you should just be a college professor with a class called "Anime OP 101" XD
Katelan Dominic yas
Did you guys also notice when the first music note transforms, it's Kaori and Kousei. Also when the four where walking across a bridge and there is a bike splitting them up, and it just so happens Kaori and Kousei are on the same side. Just somethings missed
Rogue
Where? There wasn't a part where all for of them are walking on the bridge
neon simmer4 yes there is at 3:03
Neil Bas
Oh thnx
did it reach her...
I hope it reached her..
Riaz TheG-6Swan I'm sure it did
I know it did :-)
booo!
no shes dead
Spring will be here soon
Spring, the season I met you, is coming
A spring without you.....
Is coming
This anime makes me cry I have watched it many many many many many,many times from when it come out...
What The!!? This Just Made Me Cry ?More!!!!!
I am pretty sure "heaven" is a salt flat. When the salt flat is slightly flooded, a reflection of the sky appears creating a mirror image. I recognised it as a salt flat because in 4:52 Tsubaki and Watari both have their feet under water. Probably the world's most famous salt flat is the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. Just check it out on Google Images; it is beautiful.
+Anas Rahman wow! the results are just like all those anime openings scenes!! it's SO cool!! =D
***** IKR :)
+Anas Rahman lol yeah I was like "who besides Mother's Basement is assuming this is heaven, and what logical leap does it require for me to get there too?"
+Knightfall8 Is the Salt Flat a commonly known thing? I never heard any mention of this until the OP brought it up. If this is commonly known then I must've been living under a rock. If not then you're quite arrogant.
It's an honest question - who is sincerely assuming that "space" in those scenes is heaven? Why do they assume it is heaven? I resent the notion that hijacking the meaning of a show's imagery to resemble one's own religious beliefs is no indication of arrogance, yet a person who criticizes confirmation bias is deemed the villain. Your interjections will require a bit more substance if you want to make a point.
So i'll tidy up the language for simplicity's sake: you call me arrogant for pointing out confirmation bias. Why is this arrogant? What proves that honest inquiry is arrogant - or do you merely believe i am arrogant without evidence, other than your feelings?
I can imagine that kousei probably cries every april
I literally finished this anime an hour or so ago and now I'm watching this! I'M STILL CRYING!!!
+Naiihrr Dryden-Mason me too..
I feel you.
Same here...my eyes hurt. It was such a beautiful, heartfelt, stunning ending
+Naiihrr Dryden-Mason the fuckkk an hour this anime has 22 episodes each lasting 22-24 mins
I can't stop crying
"Because you know.... she's dead." OMG hahahaha
I also laughed at that.
I would like to offer my interpretation of the scene with the three chairs. Watari and tsubaki are watching the duet. Now the positions are important watari is clearly not included in the love triangle that exists between the characters. Tsubaki is left behind watching Arima and Kaori whose seats are left open for them.
I love subtle foreshadowing like this that is nearly impossible to spot unless you already know what is going to happen. It's mindblowing to see that everything has been in front of you the whole time (and in this case repeatedly).
You found all these while my dumbass didn't even notice I actually watched this anime on April
Thanks for bringing that back up so I want to cry again.
Ugh, Your Lie In April is so underrated. I cried so hard and I love this show so muchhh.
Holy crap!! How did I not catch any of these things?? You have great eyes, sir! Wowwwwwwww I’m shook. I’m gonna pay extra close attention next time I watch the show! For me, every image passed so quickly, and I paid most attention to the bright, pastel-coloured scenes. I really didn’t think OP’s had any deeper meaning to them, before watching this video.
Thank you for opening my eyes!
