Shigatsu to me was less about the music and was more along the lines of a story about coping mechanisms. My own mother is dead, so I know exactly where the poor bastard's at and I couldn't help but get attached to him. The main reason why I found myself becoming emotionally involved with Shigatsu in the first place was because of Kousei himself. Then enters Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso, an anime/manga series that plagues me with cognitive dissonance because there was no shortage of moments where I couldn't help but catch the proverbial feels and yet there were also no shortage of moments where I was irritated beyond all belief. Maybe I'm a heartless sociopath or maybe it's because I've been through a lot worse in life, but I can't help but scoff when people tell me they cried like a baby whilst watching stuff like On another note, it irks me when people say they "got the feels" from watching something because more often than not, it was something stupid/cliché/melodramatic. Whilst emotional involvement is always a great thing, it's not enough to excuse problems that a particular work in question has. It would seem that feeling some modicum of emotional involvement whilst watching/reading something is all it takes to make a masterpiece these days.
