Me vs Boredom 6

I'm currently watching another anime show titled "Your Lie in April", or "Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso". Up until now, I've reached episode number 5 of the series. It's a good show. It's extremely funny and has good animation. I'm having a fun time watching it. However, I've heard from various people online talk about how this show is sad but touching and how it compelled them to cry at its conclusion.

Sure, it's not making me cry 5 episodes into the show, but I have a feeling it's going to instead give me a hard punch to my gut in the long run. One hint that's giving me this feeling is a blonde girl with a cheerful and energetic personality. One of the show's main characters, Kaori Miyazono, has been depicted as someone who is suffering from an "anemic-like" illness. It also seems as though she's a regular visitor of a local hospital who goes there to examine whatever they're examining. In addition to that, she has been talking subtly about how she wants the people watching her in musical competitions to remember her playing the violin. It's almost as if she's doing it with the expectation of dying in the near future. It's giving me an eerie feeling, but that's how I feel about it.

One thing that I look for in an anime show is, ironically for me, romance. I mean, who doesn't love a good romance story which grabs your attention to the highest degree? I sure do. That's why I picked this show to watch. Two people falling in love after overcoming a multitude of obstacles leaves me satisfied and happy. Maybe this said description is going to apply to "Your Lie in April"? I'm not taking any bets, but there's only one way to know for sure if it's going to happen, and that is to watch it.

Let's see what happens in "Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso". Shall we, reader?
