Next up in Noitamina's 2014 plans is an A-1 Pictures (Sword Art Online, Silver Spoon) adaptation of Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (April is Your Lie), Naoshi Arakawa's 2011 Monthly Shounen Magazine (Beck, Dear Boys) manga about a piano prodigy who gives up playing after his mother's death, only to be drawn back into music by a free spirited girl playing the violin.
Kyohei Ishiguro directs with Takao Yoshioka (Watamote, Elfen Lied, Highschool DxD) on composition, Yukiko Aikei (Accel World, Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere) on character design/animation direction and Masaru Yokoyama on music. Broadcast kicks off in October.
fun fact about Kimi no Uso staff : the director & the designer both come from Sunrise and are married.
