Hey!
I recently, by which I mean about three days ago or so, finished the anime "Your Lie in April" or "Shigatsu ha Kimi no Uso". However you want to call it. I know it has been out for quite some time now, but I didn't really have time to watch it, when it first came out.
It was produced by A1-Pictures and ran from October 9th 2014 until March 19th 2015 on Fuji TV.
It also got an OVA, which was produced by A1-Pictures and was first released on March 15th 2015.
Summary:
The story mainly revolves around Arima Kousei, who is famous among child pianists for dominating all of the competitions when he was a kid. After his mother, who was also his instructor, died, when he was only twelve, Kousei had a mental breakdown at a piano competition and as a result wasn't able to hear the sound of his piano anymore, even though nothing was wrong with his hearing.
After not touching a piano for two years, developing a monochrome worldview and resigning himself to living his life only with his two best friends, Tsubaki and Watari, at his site the meeting with one girl changes everything for him.
Kaori Miyazono, a light-hearted, fourteen-year old violinist, whose playing style perfectly reflects her personality, helps Kousei return to music and shows him that music can be free and unconventional unlike the structured style Kousei was used to playing.

The anime is pretty light-hearted in general, but it can also get serious and sad sometimes. But I won't go into detail about that and I won't spoiler anyone who hasn't seen it yet.
I really liked this anime, because, first of all it's pretty hilarious and second of all, the music is so amazing. I personally really like classical music as I play the piano myself.
I'm not that good though, because I don't have a lot of experience yet, but my musical abilities aren't really the point here.
Characters:
I think that the characters are great and very well made as they all have their own personality and background, even the side characters. I've seen some anime before, where they didn't give the side characters much thought, which made it a bit boring as they all seemed very similar to each other.
I would say that the music is one of the most important parts of this anime, I mean it revolves around exactly that so...
Music & Animation
Music, in this anime is, as I already said before, one of the most important things. In my opinion the music always fit the scenes and the current mood that the characters were in at the time. I also really liked the pieces that were played during the competitions, which the characters took part in.
The animation is really pretty and I feel like it fits the whole setting of the anime very well.

This is the the anime trailer, which was released by Aniplex.
A Live Action movie is planned to come out on September 10th 2016 in Japan.
It features Suzu Hirose as Miyazono Kaori and Yamazaki Kento as Arima Kousei.
This is the trailer for it.
I would really recommend this anime to everyone who likes classical music or music in general. It's really funny and I enjoyed it.
Tell me if you liked it when you watched it and tell me what you think about the upcoming Live Action movie too. I'll probably watch it when it comes out and then judge it. I hope it's gonna be good though.
