| I just recently finished Your lie in April which I thought it was a good series,however I preferred White Album 2 due to a better execution of the story in regards to the series. They do give a similar vibe in character development and the pace of the story but White Album 2 is more realistic and dramatic. Please note any spoilers, MUST use a spoiler tag. |

| You made me curious, I'll check out white album ;) |
| What is the most cowardly and shameful thing in human conduct? It's when people with power and people who flatter them hide in safe places and extol war, force patriotism and self-sacrifice on others, then send them to the battlefield to die. For the sake of peace in the universe, before we continue this fruitless war with the Empire, mustn't we first start by exterminating such evil parasites? - Yang Wenli |
| Nodame Cantabile. |

| Shigatsu is the lesser of two evils And yes, Nodame is better than these 2 combined |

Renaultclio101 said: Except they really don't. Pacing wise, WA2 is shorter, and more abrupt, having the first 6 episodes with the story going forward, then 6 episodes going backwards. Shigatsu has only one backward episode (the final one) and I found it more fluid. They do give a similar vibe in character development and the pace of the story. Character development wise, WA2 is mostly based around SOL flirtation and talking to each other about their feelings, while Shigatsu is based around overcoming trials, and introspection. |

The build up is similar. Hiding the back stories and past and them slowly throwing clues at the viewers and then having a giant climax near the end where the MC finds out the truth and changes himself. Both were pretty depressing as well in the same dramatic way. |
| Lol I just said Nodame because I prefer college over highschool since I'm a college student myself. But I don't get this Shigatsu hate that's prevalent in MAL. |
|
| LOL, I wondered what Your Lie in April is and forgot I finished downloading it for more than a month now. Don't know about former yet, I'm still gonna watch it, but White Album 2.... I dislike it after knowing the ending... I hate the MC.... |

Shitatsu had better music. WA2 had a better love triangle...WA2 wins because it was shorter. WA2 hasn't been finished yet that was season 1 as the visual novel is still on going |

Lancehot said: By anime standards, it had an ending. I couldn't give a rats arse about the Visual Novel. Well the anime series followed the Visual novel route so can't really say much as I believe there is more character development afterwards. I do feel You lie in April is repetitive and seems a lack of story development but that may be a petty issue to viewers but for me I felt the story could somehow be expanded and character personality which only Kaori succeeded. |

Last episode was better than the ones before it. it's not fantastic, mainly because it was all obvious and predictable, sure to happen from like halfway through the series - and that kinda can't be fantastic it's just as terrible as any episode before it |

Lancehot said: mayukachan said: Shigatsu has a fantastic ending. Last episode was better than the ones before it. The first half is good. The second half was frankly an insult to my intelligence. I also didn't like the second half as much (mostly because of the other blonde girl) but the last episode was worth watching. |
| White Album II, because unlike Shigatsu it doesn't get boring with too many flashbacks and repeated scenes. |
| Texhnolyze has a better ending than Shigatsu |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| Apples and oranges.... However for anime Your lie in April , for Visual Novel White album. |

| Ridiculous to compare the two. White Album 2 anime covers only the "PROLOGUE" of the story. The main story lies in closing chapter and coda. WA2 Closing Chapter is one of the best VN I've ever played, I'm ignoring the shitty character designs. While its no Baldr Dive 2 level of writing, its definitely better Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso. |

Why is it ridiculous to compare the two when White Album 2 is only the prologue? What we've gotten from WA2 is already pretty damn good as a standalone piece of work. |
