Your Lie in April

2014 22 episodes Fuji TV / Crunchyroll Romance Drama Music Slice Of Life Netflix Crunchyroll

Kosei Arima was a piano prodigy until his abusive mother's death left him unable to hear his own playing. Then he meets Kaori Miyazono, a free-spirited violinist who plays with so much color and emotion that she gets disqualified from competitions for ignoring the score. She drags him back into music, and back into feeling. The ending is one of the most devastating in anime — not because it's a twist, but because the show tells you exactly what's coming and you still aren't ready.
