>>better music Wrong. >>better visuals Wrong. >>better writing Wrong. >>better melodrama Wrong. >>no forced pairings There aren't in Hibikek either.
Evan Reed
It's more liked on tumblr or whatever site, besides they are to young for the drama. Anyway I think the story was better achieved than other shows like Clannaids or Angel Beats.
Robert Lopez
I hate both.
Poor man's cantabile
Isaiah Hill
Why is Shigatsu getting false flagged all of a sudden?
It's a Hibikek falseflagging isn't it?
Michael Wilson
should i watch this? heard the second season was bad
Samuel Scott
I personally really enjoyed this one. the visuals and music were pretty great and it hit close to home being a musician with some problems with self doubt.
It got popular, Sup Forums is doing the same on Kimi no Na Wa now, and for some reason, Your Name threads are getting deleted.
Gabriel Hill
>Oh boy look at all these opinions I have.
Jayden Robinson
Those are pretty much all wrong, and I don't even think Hibike's that great overall. Shigatsu is just fucking terrible.
S1 is great, S2 is terrible because they switched directors, and S3 is still the shitty director but isn't nearly as bad. Watch S1, read the manga, and finish the anime if you really love it.
Aaron Bell
your lie is shit for many fucking reasons
>mediocre music >bland characters >absolutely over dramatic even at times it doesn't need to be >boring as fuck >cliche story fuck that show.the fact you need to ask why people dont like it makes you retarded.
Lucas Gray
I don't hate Shigatsu desu, but Hibike is a lot better.
Brody Long
Reddit likes it so we hate it.
Luke King
Watch season 1 and pretend the others don't exist.
James Parker
I liked it.
James Morales
GYABO!
Samuel Richardson
since when does Sup Forums hate your lie in april? Unless I've just been really good at ignoring shitposters.
Ethan Davis
Since it aired.
Charles Taylor
>shitposters except it is obnoxiously bad.
Cooper Ortiz
Hibike is complete garbage that does not even take itself seriously I prefer Shigatsu. Normalfag as it is, at least it does not pussy around and killed the blondie. Unlike Hibike where the relationships went nowhere. And the threads...OH GOD THE THREADS
Leo Campbell
The only good character in the entire show was the friend of the baseball chick
Jose Clark
>killing the girl is a good thing fuck off.
Ethan Richardson
Who the fuck wants to watch a show about an insufferable faggot with muh mommy problems who can't stop crying his eyes out?
Jacob Lopez
fucking this.
why is that show so god damn emotional? for fucksake every other minute they try and make something a big deal and it really isnt. nothing but crying and stupid shit. its absolutely garbage.
Brody Cooper
Unlike Hibike that canot even give a proper conclusion? It was a bad end. but at least it WAS an ending tha lead to something
Ryder Evans
Tumblr loves Hibikek though
Logan Ortiz
so cheaply killing off the main character makes it better? its a cliche thats been done to death. I wouldnt say that atomatically makes it better. there was no satisfacation in the end. was just dread. id much rather have an ending that would potentially lead into something else.
Logan Flores
The same fags who watches a girl go after a teacher who does not want her The same fags who watches a girl go lesbian and straight at a times notice
Jaxson Evans
Shigatsu was painfully overdramatic and predictable as hell, but I thought it was worth watching. The blonde girl was likeable, even if she had death flags all over her and I could see the ending from miles ahead.
Maybe the fact that I liked her made it sad that I knew she was going to die anyway.
Jose Kelly
Seems way better than the former to me.
Christian Anderson
It was a bad show, I admit that. But it is incomparable to Hibike that wasted everyone's time shitposting about ships that they know won't get canon
Logan Thompson
while Nodame (season 1) is way better than both shows, expecially in understanding music and the right feel of a music show, Hibikek is probably a bit better since it has better animation, characters and OST. Shigatsu seems almost a parody of dramas. Still they I wouldn't reccomand even one of those 2: watch nodame 1 instead
Liam Hughes
It's a show about band drama, not a romance show.
Lincoln Ortiz
but at least you could watch the first season which was fine then stop. with your lie it was shit from beginning to end.
Adrian Russell
And it failed majestically. The band dramas were so fucking bad that people remember it solely for the shipping wars. Ships that will never happen
hibike S1 was awful as well
Sebastian Carter
>hibike S1 was awful as well still the lesser of 2 evils.
John Sanchez
I agree the drama was bad, but at least it was nowhere near as obnoxious as shitgatsu. Also can you stop avatarfagging?
Jaxon Price
both suck but hibike (first season) was shorter so it wins by default.
Chase Cooper
>nowhere near as obnoxious as shitgatsu heh Shigatsu featured a guy who went from mom issues to a jober, and back to the pedestal Hibike on the other forgot everything that happened after their arcs ended. No to mention the confessions that were never taken seriously
Carter King
Since fall 2014, you dumb nigger. And no one's shitposting, it's just a really bad anime.
Read the rules, retard.
Grayson Jenkins
In the end, Hibike will be known for its pointless yuri-baiting nothing more.
Ian Young
>Mediocre music what?
Nathaniel Hughes
Because fags like you think a story has to kill a character and tell them how to feel about the music is the reason this shit thread exists
Hunter Richardson
What is bisexuality
Caleb Miller
I like both . The only problem that i have with Hibike is that it is trying to show how beautiful it is I get it you are beautiful.stop shoving your beauty in to my face
Jason Flores
Are you judging a series by how much progression it has, or what? Being episodic/having less plot is better than having a bad plot.
Juan White
oh come on. those drawn out piano scenes had the most forgettable music you'll ever here.
Dominic Powell
Nay! The point is that we are comparing a bad show that knows where to go and another that is god only for the ships that wil never hapen If Hibike was not made by Kyoani, we would never heard about it in the first place
Don't pul me that. Reina is a slut who changes partner anytime she wanted to. And everyone is fine with it lol
Carson Ward
>i like both shit taste. both are shit. drink bleach.
Benjamin Scott
Chopin is forgettable now?
Sebastian Harris
>best girl dies >still wins Sup Forums will never recover from a dead winner against their bland childhood friend choice.
William Green
Except Hibike is shorter with an even worse of a "plot"
Ethan Powell
>The point is that we are comparing a bad show that knows where to go and another that is god only for the ships that wil never hapen >we are comparing a bad show.... and another that is [good]
>but somehow the bad show is better Good logic.
>lol Jesus Christ, just fuck off already, newfag cancer.
Alexander Bennett
>implying the piano girl or blond loli didn't win the Kouseib owl in the end
Xavier Sullivan
>Your Lie in April lol
Ayden Walker
First off, I'm pretty sure soccer is going to win in the future. Second off, they were both bland as fuck, just like basically every character in that show. Emi, Goku, and Goku's imouto were the best, but if they had more screentime I'm sure they'd have turned out to be boring as fuck too.
Isaiah Ramirez
>Why does Sup Forums hate Your Lie in April but praise garbage like Hibike?
When Shigatsu ended, people continued to discuss it, for better or for worse Meanwhile: Hibike threads returned to life only after S2 was announced and aired. And its thread are alive only because of the shitpostings. We are going to forget about it within 1 and a half weeks
Xavier White
gonna watch only one Wich one has the better music?
Leo Barnes
There is no need to still be butthurt over it friends. Let it go.
Oliver Gray
By "continued to discuss" you mean continued to baitpost and complaining about how shit it was and also faggots who discovered it by being on top of mal charts.
Juan Lee
Pretty much. It was a normalfag show that was never ambitious but, surprisingly, Sup Forums feels the need to shitpost about it You don't see that on Hibike
Michael Robinson
Shigatsu had a more engaging story but it was poorly executed. So much of it felt repetitive.
Hibike is your usual SoL drama but it's far better executed. It takes such small dramas and makes so much more out of it with the stellar VA work and direction.
I enjoyed both.
Liam Gomez

Anthony Young
Nah faggot, she lost, she ded.
Hunter Perry

Jose Murphy
>comparing KyoAni works to anything else Quite a pointless comparison, really. KyoAni visuals blow every other competing show out of the water. That alone gives it a premium. And it's not like the other elements fail hard, either. In Hibike's case, the dialogue, story, and execution of scenes are more or less on par with any other good drama anime. If we were to give each of these elements an alphabet grade, the visuals would be S+ and everything else a B. The average grade would be an A. In the end, you're complaining about why people would like a grade A anime. And you're also complaining that people like KyoAni works for their stellar visuals - which is absolutely okay and not a sin. So, the next time you make a post bashing KyoAni, just ask yourself, "Why the fuck am I doing this? Don't I wish my favorite show ahd eye-orgasm inducing visuals, as well? Maybe I'm just a fat, autistic piece of shit who's literally mad that people like something I don't like."
Lastly, I'm not sure what sort of mental illness one needs to have to argue that Shigatsu had better visuals than Hibike. Maybe you have an unhealthy, obsessive attraction to nigger lips. Maybe (though very unlikely considering how new you are) you had a big nostalgia for Honey and Clover or Nodame. But that doesn't mean the visuals were of higher quality.
Shigatsu was repetitive because it was just a guy moping over a girl not liking him and beating the viewer over the head with "muh mum". And the funniest part is that all those flaws stem from it trying to be pretentious.
>KyoAni visuals blow every other competing show out of the water 3hz FlipFlap vs KyoAnus Phantom World.
Checkmate.
Aiden Watson
When Hibikek has characters spend 10 episodes learning a piece it actually lets you hear it at the end.
When Shitgatsu has Kouhei practice for a recital the first half is just him shitting the bed on stage and the rest is the peanut gallery chiming in on his recovery.
Eli Watson
I had to stop watching Shigatsu because of how obnoxiously it treated music, there are a few scenes early on that show very young children playing child instruments and it's extremely clear they were recording professionals instead of making them sound like little kids,
During the blonde girl's first performance the scene is wonderfully animated but the dialog to go with it is retarded. Everyone keeps talking about how unconventional/unorthodox her interpretation of the music is, but the actual music is COMPLETELY standard. They comment on how the pianist is barely keeping up when it sounds just fine. Neither the music nor direction alone speak for the scene, it also has to be filled with shounen battle dialog over what's happening.
By contrast Hibike did almost all of this properly.
Jose Barnes
i don't believe you. proofs? also proofs because I have not yet seen Flipping Lesbian Flappers, and I dropped Phantom World at episode 1. And I dare say, even though most KyoAni fans themselves regard Phantom World as one of their worst works, I'm actually pretty confident that either: 1. There will be as many or more instances of high movement in Phantom World than Flip. 2. The animation quality is overall more consistent in Phantom World than Flip.
Because that's how it's always been since the days of Haruhi.
Henry Bell
Yeah, except music was not even the point of both shows. It was all about plot and characterization. Something that Hibike nonchalantly shot itself by stiching one relationship after another then forced an open interpretation just to avoid further collapse
Shigatsu does not give a fuck and delivered what everyone expects, even if they do not want it
Love Live is so much better than Hibike and it was nothing more than a milkiing machine
Andrew Collins
>I don't care about anything as long they sail my ship Fucking shipfags ruining every single fanbase ever made.
Bentley Wood
Do not lie It was the only thing valuable in the show. And it failed at it Peole are buying it simply because it was made by Kyoani
Hunter Thomas
>except music was not even the point of both shows. Music isn't the point of Hibike? Well, I'll be damned if you can name me a show where music is the whole point. A show where characters mainly engage in composing music and have gigantic instrumental showdowns. Although no such show exists, I'm pretty show a show exists, like Hibike, where music plays a very important role. The whole story is about how the characters find the motivation to go to ZENKOKU - a music concert/tournament. Every character takes music seriously. Passion for music is the driving force of the plot and the ultimate motivation for the will of the characters. So, to be expected, there were many scenes of the characters playing and performing music. Quite a lot of them. And since Hibike had 2 cours and thus more episodes, Hibike had even more scenes of characters playing music. Saying that this was done in a proper and realistic way is not meaningless - it's a proper positive attribute of the show.
And secondly. the only relationship that is in "open interpretation" is Kumiko and Reina. You've been memed into thinking there's yuri subtext. You probably think that Kumiko and Shuichi also have an ambiguous relationship. Except the anime makes it pretty clear that (in the context of the anime only) Shu has a one-sided crush for Kumiko. You've been memed too hard. Learn to discern shitposting.
Leo Taylor
I hate that the Manga isn't fully translated
Samuel Lee
I like Shigatsu tho
Gavin Scott
Well there was classicaloid where not-classical composers fight using their own arrangements, but the show was so fucking bad I don't know if there was anyone on earth who could enjoy it.
Alexander Nguyen
Hibike has lesbians (Or at least Sup Forums likes to believe so), which allows Sup Forums to indulge in its inner cuckold fetish.
Jordan Martin
I was just saying that it is pointless to criticize a show because of its music when it was not even the entire point. Seriously, the fag was saying that Shigatsu was awful because of its nonsense about kids who can play like pros but praises Hibike which is technically just a bunch of kids in highschool clothing playing like pros
And secondly, Kumiko and Reina ARE the only relationship that everyone cares about.
Angel Phillips
it is you just got to download the chapters from egs or mangatrader
Caleb Green
I never said Shigatsu was awful, I said that I couldn't watch it because its presentation of music was terrible, a completely personal thing. Hibike's kids do NOT play like professionals, as professionals were not hired to play for them.
If all you cared about in Hibike was shipper shit, like every other faggot on Sup Forums, reddit and tumblr, then that's your thing. Others got more out of it. If this is all you got out of the show it also shows how bad you are at interpreting and understanding fiction, which is why you tell me that Eupho wasn't about music when it primarily was.
Evan Jones
I fucking loved Shigatsu, I don't care what Sup Forums thinks.
>Kumiko and Reina ARE the only relationship that everyone cares about. Which is wierd because nothing in the show proves either of them are dykes. It seems the "everyone" you mentioned are really just dysfunctional shitposting memelords. Not that there's anything wrong with occasional funposting. Their words don't count, however. It also goes to show that Hibike was really more about music and Shigatsu more about the internal workings of its characters.
Joshua Allen
Because it's not gay. Sup Forums loves gay shit like Yuri on ICE, Hibike, Yuru Yuri, Meduca Meguka and so on.
Christian Long
>Hibike has better music that YLIA At least Your Lie In April actually had music through the whole production. Season 2 of Hibike was absolute garbage.
Ayden Diaz
You can't even hear the music in shitgatsu over the shitlord talking and crying.
