When Your Lie in April originally aired, it was lauded for its production quality by A-1 Pictures. The animation was fluid, the lighting was atmospheric, and the character designs by Nishida Asaki were beautifully translated from the manga. However, television broadcasts and streaming services often compress this visual data to save bandwidth. This results in "banding" in gradients—particularly noticeable in the dusky evening skies that frequently frame the series—and a general loss of fine detail.
★★★★★ (5/5) Recommended for: Fans of classical music, romance, drama ( Clannad , March Comes in Like a Lion ), and anyone who needs a good cry. Best Feature: Lossless audio that turns your living room into a concert hall. Warning: Do not watch the final episode in public.
