Violet Evergarden renders bloody and tragic flashbacks about the spoils of war the main character has gone through while on the other hand, Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso doesn't. Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso has 4 main characters while in Violet Evergarden, there is only one. Violet Evergarden does not contain expressions from music. Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso expresses emotions to its viewers through music while on the other hand, Violet Evergarden is about the tragedy of war the main character has gone through and is being brought back being it's flashback and its dignity to help people achieve what they want to have through her writings on letters. Both anime involves death of loved ones (spoiler alert *sorry* T~T) Both anime have the point of focus to a young girl. Both anime gives the viewer a powerful impact wherein one character shows despair or sadness.
Both expresses deep emotions through scenes involving solemnity, despair and sadness. And the violin playing in Shigatsu was equally captivating. A lot of attention was put into them especially in Slope where an actual person did the drumming motions. Shigatsu presents an inexplicably anime mental block issue over piano playing, yet it's never as depressing as Slope because of the injection of humour. Maybe.Īlso, although it's just a matter of preference, I prefer Shigatsu's shouenish FREAK OUT humour over Slope's more subdued, realistic tone. Like Slope, there's also romantic subplots with other characters, but it's crystal clear the musical pairing will later pair up in other, just as passionate ways. The same way jazz liberated the lead in Slope, the heroine in Shigatsu injects life into its male lead by inspiring him with her rock-star style violin playing and energy prompting him to be her partner. The piano playing lead in Shigatsu is still very much four-eyed and scrawny, just like the lead in Slope, but his musical performance partner is a beautiful long-haired blonde violinist. Shigatsu is a far more male-orientated, shounen experience.

It's all too obvious the series was created by a female, both in terms of top/bottom character designs and the actual content. And, fittingly, the male leads end together. The show does try to mask the homosexual undercurrent with heterosexual romance subplots for both characters, but since music is the main focus, both subplots remain on a road to nowhere. The glasses-wearing, scrawny lead finds liberation by escaping from the restrictions of classical piano playing and happiness by bonding with his 'friend'. There's every suggestion that the thugish drummer would like to pound more than his drums as they compete and connect by playing jazz together. Kids on the Slope has its two MALE leads connect via music. As if your souls were connected, and hearts overlapping. "A famous violinist once said that by exchanging (musical) notes, you get to know one another to understand one another. Some of you might be fine with that but in my own experience, I didn't cry as much as other people did because I watched it in one sitting and when a dramatic scene does come in an episode, I just feel numb because I'm still not over about the dramatic scene in an episode prior. Granted, it's shorter (11 episodes) so it's kinda understandable. Because Anohana is a show that will do everything in it's power to make you cry in every episode it has. My personal preferences: If you're a person who've watched Your Lie in April first and is going to watch Anohana, I prefer you watch in a minimum of 1 episode per day.
But what separates them from each other is Your Lie in April is more on music while Anohana is more on childhood nostalgia. One thing that both shows share is that there is a good portion of the story being about the childhood of the characters, and even the conflict on both shows started in their childhood. Our Lie in April is basically Anohana's second coming, having both done by A-1 Pictures and both having the intention of ripping your heart out in pieces.
