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. The series aired from October 9, 2014, to March 19, 2015, on Fuji TV's Noitamina block. Aniplex released the series in Japan on Blu-ray and DVD from February 25, 2015.[1] The series is licensed by Aniplex of America within North America, who simulcasted the series on Aniplex Channel, Crunchyroll, Hulu and Viewster.[2] [3] Madman Entertainment licensed the series in Australia and New Zealand, who made the series available on AnimeLab.[4] Anime Limited licensed the series in the United Kingdom and Ireland.[5]

For the first eleven episodes and the original video animation, the opening theme is by Goose house, while the ending theme is by wacci.[6] From episode twelve onwards, the opening theme is by Coalamode, while the ending theme is by 7!!
