Your Lie in April Ep 19 (Patreon)

Hello Patreon family! I hope you enjoy my detailed psychological analysis of episode 19 of Your Lie in April! Not going to lie, I am terrified of what is to come next week, given how wholesome and light-hearted the episode was overall.

My main takeaways from the episode

1) What a beautiful display of Kaori's courage and faith in her decision to request the surgery despite the lack of certainty and medical risks; "keep struggling" implies hope in humanity

2) We can only fully appreciate the full spectrum of what life has to offer when we are willing to confront our suffering head-on, because there is liberation once we let go of our resistance against our limiting circumstances

3) What a moving performance delivered by Takeshi, inspired by Kousei and his beautifully emotional journey

I am anticipating some heavy gut punches next week based on the setup of this episode, but the only way is through~

Happy new week, everyone!
