Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso

recommended

see how i review. intentionally written without synopsis, plot, or summary. and yes, these are just my thoughts — for more context, see the fine print.

a repeat watch every time april rolls around. shigatsu wa kimi no uso is a beautifully crafted story with a perfect blend of music, emotion, and character development. the pacing is slow, but perfect for the story it tells and wraps up (also) perfectly in one season.

it’s visually stunning in all the right places, the animation is fluid, the sound design is fantastic. it’s just a good and well-rounded show that checks all the boxes for me to recommend it.

i mean, there’s a reason why this show is highly rated and loved by many. go prepare some snacks or tea, and enjoy the story while you can. it’s one of those shows that stays with you long after it ends, and the first watch is always the best experience.
