Your Lie in April is an anime television series adapted from the manga series of the same name by Naoshi Arakawa. The story follows a piano prodigy named Kōsei Arima, who had become famous as a child musician after dominating many competitions. However, after his mother died, he could no longer play the piano. Two years later, Kōsei meets a girl named Kaori Miyazono, a free-spirited violinist who helps Kōsei return to the world of music by showing him that music should be played freely and without restrictions, unlike Kōsei, who had played his music in a structured manner.

The anime was directed by Kyōhei Ishiguro at A-1 Pictures and written by Takao Yoshioka, featuring character designs and animation direction by Yukiko Aikei and music composed by Masaru Yokoyama.
