If you loved I Give My First Love to You, try Your Lie in April

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Takehiko Shinjo, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to I Give My First Love to You, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Your Lie in April is

Another film about child prodigies and their baggage, because classical music never hurt anyone. Kousei, once a piano prodigy, hasn't been able to hear his own playing since his mother's death until a chaotic violinist barges into his carefully muted world. She's allergic to subtlety, and somehow, that's what makes the notes come back.
