Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

Whether it's a rainbow that appears suddenly after the rain

Or a flower blooming proudly

They all began to radiate bright colors.

Looking up at the crimson sky

That day I saw you

I fell in love.

...]

The upbeat and infectious intro, paired with youthful vocals, sets the stage for "Your Lie in April".

The opening sequence features bright and warm visuals.

Streets where cherry blossoms flutter, a music classroom bathed in sunlight, a boy running, a girl's golden hair fluttering as she turns her head...

The camera transitions are smooth, the colors are highly saturated, and the scenes exude the unique vibrancy and excitement of youth.

The screen was instantly filled with comments:

"Aww, it's such a sweet school romance anime! I love the art style and the color palette!"

"JK! My favorite JK! I'm so happy!"

"Barefoot is the best! Guangda really understands its audience! (Thumbs up)"

"Wait, a school anime? I have a bad feeling about this... Could it be hiding a knife?"

"Don't worry! The synopsis clearly states that it's a coming-of-age musical story, a girl's lie and a boy's redemption. There are no superpowers, no magic, and no apocalypse! It's just a pure coming-of-age story!"

"Phew—that puts my mind at ease. After watching Clannad, I developed PTSD about healing from the Land of Light."

"Musical instrument anime is great! I get to hear beautiful music again! Music from the Land of Light never disappoints!"

"This opening theme is so good! The song is called 'If I Can Shine'? I've already added it to my playlist!"

As the climax of the chorus approaches, the pace of the visuals quickens.

Interspersed with shots of Kousei's profile as he plays the piano, Kaoru's absorbed playing with her eyes closed, Tsubaki's chasing figure, and Watari Ryota's cheerful smile...

Yes, it's you.

Tell me

As long as light can shine in the darkness

It can then transform into a dazzling starry sky.

...]

"Got it! This theme! A light shining in the darkness must be a story of mutual redemption!"

"A boy gives up the piano after his mother's death, meets a free-spirited violinist, and rediscovers music and color... It's a standard trope, but I love it!"

"Yay! It's not a knife! It's candy! It's redemption! It's youth!"

"I've already chosen my ship! Kousei and Kaori! Piano Prince x Violin Princess! Locked in!"

"Don't rush, I think that childhood friend Tsubaki's eyes are a bit strange..."

The opening sequence ends, and the main feature begins.

Arima Kousei's mother was determined to raise him to be a world-renowned pianist.

Kousei lived up to his mother's expectations, winning many major piano competitions during elementary school.

When 11-year-old Kousei was about to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest.

His mother passed away, and from then on he began to hate the piano and gradually gave up playing it.

Arima's life at age 14 is bleak and monotonous, and he only keeps in touch with his childhood friends Tsubaki Sawabe and Ryota Watari.

To help Kousei return to normal, Tsubaki planned a date for the four of them.

Although unwilling, Gong Sheng was still dragged to the park.

There, he met Kaori Miyazono for the first time.

Kaoru played the harmonica barefoot in the park, and her free and unrestrained playing style instantly attracted Kousei.

Kousei couldn't resist taking out his phone to take pictures, but Kaoru, whose skirt was being blown up by the wind, mistook him for a paparazzi.

"ah!"

Kaoru exclaimed in surprise, abruptly stopping her performance, and turned to see Kousei holding up his phone.

The misunderstanding arose in an instant.

"You...you perverted freak! You voyeur!"

Xun's face flushed instantly, both ashamed and angry.

"Wait! No! I..."

Kaoru instantly bristled, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and unleashed a merciless barrage of punches and kicks at Kousei.

Fortunately, Tsubaki and Ryota Watari arrived in time and cleared up the misunderstanding.

It turns out that this hot-tempered girl was the fourth person Xiaochun had invited on a date.

Kaori Miyazono, a violinist.

"This is friend A."

Kotsubaki casually introduces Kousei.

Then, Kaoru mentioned that she was about to participate in a violin competition and warmly invited everyone to come and watch.

"I won't go."

Kousei habitually retreats, wanting to withdraw into his own gray world.

A warm hand suddenly grasped his wrist.

Kousei looked up in surprise and met Xun's smiling eyes.

"Come on in too."

Xun's voice was clear and crisp.

"My playing is really good!"

A gentle breeze blows, and cherry blossoms fall like rain.

Arima Kousei's 14th year of spring was thus tinged with a different kind of color because of a sudden girl.

Episode 1, End.

"Aaaaaaah! They held hands! They held hands!!!"

"It's so sweet! Kaoru is an angel! Absolutely an angel!"

"Waaaaah, it's a sweet romance drama! The pure love warrior collapses to the ground!"

"As a girl, I dare say, the way Kaoru looks at Kousei is definitely different! Her claim of liking Watari Ryota is probably just a cover!"

"Kaoru's character design is amazing! Free-spirited, straightforward, a little violent but super cute! Long blonde hair and bare feet—she's practically the epitome of an art girl!"

"Wait, didn't you guys notice Tsubaki? The tone she used when introducing Kousei as 'Friend A'... and the way she helped Kousei pick up the broken glass, their childhood friendship really touched me!"

"Hiss... Could it be that it's not just a simple redemption story, but a love triangle? (doge)"

Ryota Watari: I was invited first, so why do I feel like I'm the third wheel?

"Hilarious! Ryota Watari's (the "Sea King") disastrous performance is on the horizon! Kaoru clearly doesn't have those feelings for him!"

"This episode had such a comfortable pace, so delicate and vivid, and the music was amazing! What's the name of that piece in Kaoru Park? I want to hear the full version!"

"Never mind! Let's focus on making it sweet first! Guangda finally behaved themselves this time!"

Countless viewers, satisfied and filled with sweet anticipation, eagerly clicked the "next episode" button.

Then, they were stunned.

There is no "Next Episode" button.

At the bottom of the playback page, the update information is clearly displayed:

[Updated to: Episode 1]

[Update time: One episode is updated daily at 18:00]

Only one episode?!

Only one episode per day?!

"Holy crap! What's going on?!"

"Where's my 'next episode' button? Where's my huge 'next episode' button?!"

"Why is there only one episode?! Slam Dunk and Nexus aired two episodes a day, didn't they?!"

"An April Fool's joke? No, yesterday was April Fool's Day! What are you doing, Guang?!"

"Could there be an upload error? Back-end developer, please check it quickly!"

"@StarlightVideo! @Land of Light! Hurry up and release episode two!!!"

The comments section was instantly flooded with protests.

Viewers who were used to the fast-paced, frequent updates of Land of Light found it unacceptable to experience only one episode a day for the first time.

Soon, someone discovered an even crueler reality.

At the bottom of the details page for "Your Lie in April," a line of inconspicuous small print was revealed:

To promote a healthy viewing experience and allow viewers to fully appreciate the details of the work, this series will be released daily as a single episode. Thank you for your understanding.

Understand? I can't understand it!

"What the hell is this healthy viewing pace?! I'm going to watch it all in one go!"

"Immerse yourself in the experience? All I can think about right now is Kaoru's last smile and holding hands. You want me to wait until tomorrow?! This is torture!"

"Everbright, you've changed! You weren't like this before! What happened to your promise to pamper your fans?"

"Go to the official Weibo account and comment! We demand a return to two episodes a day! At least a few more episodes in the first week!"
