 If you liked Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso |  ...then you might like Kono Oto Tomare! |
Both try to bring meaning and heart to music. The two series mixes but humor and dark themes to bring forth something beautiful. In my opinion, Kono Oto Tomare! accomplishes this task a little better then Your Lie in April. However, I feel that both deserve a watch especially if you enjoy musical themed anime.

- Music -Drama -Romance ( more than Kimi no Uso ) -School Both animes are similar in their proposals
The music performances are very similar! Although your lie in April is wayyy edgier, still very good shows.

ok first and foremost: The MC looks similiar Now looks aren't everything ik, just wanted to say it Soo both are music anime and you hear the ''reach'' thing quite often. So to speak- the music is quite touching. Kono Oto Tomare! however, isn't as sad as Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso. But some characters deal with a heavy past in both shows so if you're drawn to Drama and Music- definitely check them out

Think about Your Lie In April (Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso)x Chihayafuru? You've got Kono Oto Tomare! This is a cross between Shigatsu's musical-ish drama and Chihayafuru's traditional Japanese school club, and of course, romance! This one doesn't have any triangle love, though!
-Whole plot revolves around a musical theme with plenty of staged performances -One of the MCs has a similar traumatic past which they use to get stronger -You'll enjoy it if you love stage performances and the tension associated with them

Well both are around music and this one is about the instrument koto. It is a funny and happy show with a great group of charcters like your lie in april. It will make you cry, but not out of saddness like your lie in april, but happiness. Once you watch you will see the resembalence. It is pretty good and I suggest you try it.
If you enjoyed "Your Lie in April" you will 100% enjoy "Kono Oto Tomare!" Both these anime revolve around the theme of music/instruments and romance. Don't worry, Kono Oto Tomare! won't leave you sobbing once it's over. Kono Oto Tomare does a very impressive job of captivating the viewer with its music while also have a great romance story that builds up the main cast alongside the supporting cast. (HAS BOTH SUB AND DUB)
both are music anime, and both have lots of emotion during live performances
