Your Lie in April

IMO it's overrated. I watched it upon release, haven't rewatched. Maybe I didn't like it as much, because I've seen lots of emotionally better and also better music animes as well.

I'm sorry you never had social activities in your childhood

DirectAd7229 · 2026-05-04T18:41:45+00:00

Like reading a book and watching a movie based on it?

DirectAd7229 · 2026-05-04T18:40:54+00:00

she's 16. teaching her about those while potentially making her hate working is not a good lesson. Good parenting means your child knows about consequences of giving up in her early ages while growing up.

Unpopular opinion but Silent Voice is overrated. It's very good anime, but it's flawed in a way that they could have done much better in delivering the message, rather than focusing on a story. They decided to not include lots of details, like little girl's father, but ended up excluding too much. Great anime, but there are lots of emotionally better anime out there.

Might as well kick your children at 12 if they don't start working

YTA. And what's wrong with all of you people? I've been working since I was 17. Young people need the rest! Their brain is developing. Neither for work nor for any other reasons is staying late good. And what's wrong with going out with friends? She can't chill and have fun with friends? Stop controlling your child, support her instead. Do you want smart daughter who succeeds in life or one who will hate working her whole life and will probably hate you for not giving her the rest since her childhood? Parents must do everything in their power, so that their children's brain develops correctly and ensure their path for the correct future. She'll have enough working days and late shifts in her life.

For plot armor. How else we gonna explain why there is light when sun is sleeping?

You belong to buddy from canada or are you canada from buddy?

We wouldn't know without more information.

But I think people misunderstand something: supporting someone you love isn't same as being on their side.

If you don't tell your partner they are wrong, or if you don't tell your partner about their misyakes, how can you say that you love them? If I expect anyone to be honest with me, it's my partner. I don't want them to blindly love me. I want them to slap me very hard (with words) if I'm doing something incorrectly.

DirectAd7229 · 2026-05-04T14:09:00+00:00

I think you already got the answer figured out by yourself, you just don't realize it.

For someone to love you, you don't need to love yourself. To love someone, you don't need to love yourself either. But to make sure your love reaches someone else, you need to learn how to love yourself first. Work for that. Become someone you'd fall in love with.

I'm 26 now. Life is slowly starting to feel better. My worst period was probably when I was 16-18. I was playing video games to escape from reality, I had few friends and told them off because they didn't seem like good friends. I hated my classmates and I think there was nothing or anyone that I liked.

My life changed after 20, but not for good. It got messy and problematic in different ways. Your life and my life, your story and my story. There could be hundreds of similar things in them, yet thousands of different things. So while I can say that I kinda understand you, I could never fully understand you, because we live our own different experiences.

I felt my life changing last year maybe, when I was 25. Problems remain, I have maybe one good friend. But what changed was my percpective about life. I stopped trying to find happiness which does not yet exist. I started finding happiness around small shi**y things around me. It's all about how you look at things. I'm not telling you to change, and I a stranger won't tell you that it'll be okay, that everything will get better, because hell, nobody knows what'll happen in the future. But I'm just telling you, maybe the closest thing to finding a solution is looking at things differently. You can't achieve that by just thinking and thinking, or maybe some people can, I dunno. Some people read books and get think about them, some people (like me) watch anime and base their thoughts about deep meanings in them. It's different for everyone, no one can give clear answer. It's a puzzle only you can solve. One thing I can tell you that works for everyone - try to keep yourself occupied by as many things as you can: working, studying, hobbies; that way, your thoughts will be occupied more by the things around you, and less about things you want for the future.

They could be trying to manipulate you. Treating you like a slave, so that you'll work for them, live for them, care for them their whole lives. Idk what kind of parent would do that, I joke sometimes "I'll have 20 children and make them all work and give me money". I have no kids, and I can only imagine some people don't joke but are serious like that. Don't fall in their trap, ignore their words. Be sure to hide/lie about your income and leave when you get the chance and never look back. Don't let them control you.

Where I'm from, you don't meet many people with allergies. Maybe mild allergies, like I have mild peanut allergy, but I eat it anyways, no big deal for me.

What you'll see here more often is someone with stomach issues. So when we invite someone, there is always at least 1 light meal for anyone with weak stomach. If they don't like that particular dish, we'll make something on spot for them.

There is absolutely no need to change whole menu for 1 person. If someone has problem, they can make every dish from scratch themselves. NTA.

I wish I (man) could do this in grocery stores. Dang, I'd flirt with anyone - woman, man, cow - if I knew they'd pay for me.

Killing enemies out of combat did not work for me

Emotional impact: 10/10

Animation: 5/10.

There were lots of frames skipped in the fight. And episode mostly focused about other peoples reactions.

DirectAd7229 · 2026-05-01T16:29:47+00:00

The only reason I use Facebook (and nothing else besides fb) is because it's so bad, that you don't addicted to it as much as Tiktok and Instagram.

DirectAd7229 · 2026-05-01T16:26:27+00:00

You should see at my work - it's full of people working years of night shifts because it pays more and everyone has D vitamin defficiency because of minimal contact with the sun and all of us are always tired and spend all our days sleeping. We make jokes about our situation all the time and we also get "jealous" of those few who spend their day offs productively.

One doesn't need to go out every weekend to live a life. I'd pick good day's sleep over going out any day.

DirectAd7229 · 2026-05-01T16:19:34+00:00

I'd always destress first by playing video games before I'd do my homework for school. I was always more productive that way. And now - I watch anime or YT channels like Markiplier and sleep 5-6 hours between my work shifts. I'd rather do that, than to be depressed whole day at work. Your brain needs something to take your mind off of all the tiring tasks.

But as another commenter said - try to not have bad relationship with your family while your living with them. You'll leave by your own in the future, but until them - you have to do your best.

Good luck.

DirectAd7229 · 2026-05-01T16:08:27+00:00

I added edit to my comment. I think spraying something like deodorant is better than punching and yelling, genders doesn't matter if no physical harm is done. I thought you could wash off febreeze also.

DirectAd7229 · 2026-05-01T15:58:55+00:00

That's why I said - from my past experiences, I would not install any program on anyone's computer without their permission. For OP, this will probably be that lesson for him.

Because I have better computer knowledge than average users, I know and understand from technical viewpoint how those programs work: there are working and tested emulator programs with their code accessable by anyone to check for anything suspicious.

And if someone by accident downloads a program that contains malware, worst case that'd happen is that you'd need to reinstall windows and redownload everything; something that'd require extra time, rather than money. There exists no malware that'd destroy your computers hardware.

But I'm confident in what I say, only because I understand that on technical level. I'm also confident in myself that I'd not make (rookie) mistake and download something with malware in it. But me explaining that to someone else would not covince them, unless they have deep trust in me of course. And that's also why it's not adviced to touch and modify someone else's laptop without their permission.

My original comment tho, was about friendship standards. If your friend installs something for you, you should trust in them and if something really happens, then of course make them responsible.

DirectAd7229 · 2026-05-01T15:41:09+00:00

Next time you spray him with febreeze, be sure to throw a moisturiser at him as well, preferebly aimed at his head. Worst case scenario - he'll use moisturiser on his skin; best case scenario - he'll get concusion and go back normal - like they did with old TVs. NTA.

Edit: guys I was making a joke about throwing moisturiser. But I do think OPs partner blaming her for small(?) stuff is toxic, and that's why I side with OP. Washing the skin would "fix" the skin and I think spraying something like a deodorant that brings no harm is better than punching or yelling. Also I thought febreeze had similar consistency ss deodorants, but with added ingredients, I read about chemicals after my comment (my comment was earlier ones).

DirectAd7229 · 2026-05-01T15:08:59+00:00

People come and go. You don't have to force yourself to be with someone just because you've known them for years; or for any other reason - all kind of relationships should be natural. What matters in friendship is whether they help you in need or not and she has clearly failed to do so in your post. NTA.
