That was insanely beautiful.
I'm speechless.

This is the first time that this show has really, utterly dumbfounded me.
When they started singing Clair de Lune, I lost it. Had to go play it right after and had this super-bonding moment with my piano. <3
It made me thank the heavens that I'm a musician. T.T

I usually root for the underdogs, but to be honest, I'm too enchanted by Kaori to even ship KouseixTsubaki. Still, this scene was hands-down the most fucking gorgeous. I know that feeling: "Music is taking Kousei away from me." We all know that feeling. I'm experiencing that feeling right now with my boyfriend and his dreams. His dreams that rip him away from me.

Tsubaki's "Huh?" spliced with Kousei's words...you just know her heart is breaking. And everything is falling. And reality is shattering into millions of shards. I've felt that before, and I've never seen another scene in anime where that specific emotion has been crafted so poignantly.
Ahh, perhaps it's just because it's something I'm struggling with in my own life now, but I really enjoyed this. I can't wait for more.


I know that same exact feeling, except its a situation where both our dreams are taking us in different directions and I don't think they'll ever cross paths.

I'm not going to lie, I thought this was the best episode of the series thus far for two reasons and had two very powerful scenes. The scene where Kousei is visiting Kaori in the hospital and he keeps inner monologuing about how he hopes Kaori isn't lying to him and that she will be okay, yet you know deep down inside from the tone of this series that he knows that things are not okay.

The other scene with Tsubaki was just as, if not, even more powerful. You essentially watch Tsubaki realize her feelings, but also realize at the same time that she is too late and Kousei's dreams are taking him away from her.

In a series with multiple powerful moments, I found this episode to be the most powerful. I truly believe in this anime because I feel it's the best anime I've watched in a very long time. I can only hope the last eight episodes are just as good as the first 14 because this series has been a magical ride thus far.

I just want Kousei to tell Kaori how he feels already! I get annoyed every time I see Watari trying to act like she's his girlfriend.

I find that I'm unable to feel anything at all for Tsubaki, I might as well have been a statue during the whole beach scene. Hell, I was more moved by Kousei's whistling of Clair de Lune than Tsubaki's sadness.
It also has to do with the pretentious and sloppy directing of the scene. That insert song overlapping with the sound of her running and crying was a real feel kill, and the whole scene felt too fast paced.

Nice Insert Song, they used Debussy's Clair de Lune in some parts. I like everything about this show, except the over-melodramatic way it is executed.

They never developed Kaori's character, and now they try to pull a feels scene with her?

Bleh. It was pretty annoying tbh, but it's not like middle school "romance" isn't usually melodramatic.

It was okay, I guess.

Who's that blonde girl, I think I saw her in the competition before.

I feel sorry for Tsubaki because Kousei is leaving the country.
That scene in the school with Kousei and Tsubaki, I wanna experience it, it's so romantic.

Is this the death flag for Kaori? I don't want her to die.

Damn it Kousei, don't make Tsubaki cry by trying to be nice to her.

I didnt really like the new opening at first ... But after hearing it 3 times its growing on me. Anyway good episode.... Seeing a girl get friendzoned on such a high level is kind of funny though ... :D
There’s no hope on the battlefield.
It has nothing but unspeakable despair.
Just a crime we call victory, paid for by the pain of the defeated.
Yet humanity has never recognized this truth.
And the reason for that is, in every era,
a dazzling hero has blinded people with their legends and prevented them from seeing the evil of bloodshed.
The true nature of humanity has not advanced a step beyond the Stone Age!

Kashiwagi was right, someone was going to get hurt because Tsubaki was not being honest with her feelings. Poor Tsubaki, not Kousei will be leaving to a music school and she's now realizing her true feelings for him.

I really hope he ends up with Tsubaki. She's been in the back seat since the show started.


Good to know Kaori is doing well. Although by the looks of things she's going to miss a lot of the first semester.

Ouch :/ Tsubaki took too long unfortunately.

Kousei's starting to realize that Kaori's lying about all her tests, but is making himself believe that he's just imagining things.
I don't even know how I'm gonna handle it when it happens.. I don't see how the story can break off of this path without ruining itself. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Hah I knew it! He was seeing his mother's situation in her case, which may/may not turn out to be true later.

Epiphany is as good as the truth, isn't it Tsubaki? But like the truth, it also hurts when you realize and find it.
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

Arima... "The boy I took for granted..." Glad this happened, and I hope that he really does move away from Tsubak, fucking didn't appreciate him enough ya whore. Date more hot guys.
3.5/5 Tsbuaki ruined it, but it's getting better... I hope.

Episode that shows nothing innovative as history, the events depicted reflect almost classical steps that can be found in a TV series romantic.
Narration quite addictive; in the final despite having seen similar scenes, a few tears to me ran away.
Plot that seems not to present possible twists in the dynamics of the relationships of the characters, it seems everything already written.
Drawings and animations excellent, scenery very well done.
Fight Tsubaki!

Sigh.. No, i just cant bring myself to like Tsubaki. No appeal whatsoever. She is a good friend and all but there is nothing else. The way she is so violent, nagging and crying all the time (and she is supposed to be a tough one) gets on my nerves. She is so selfish. At first, encouraging Kousei to play and now showing her posessive and jealous side. Guess what? Yes, you are never going to replace music and Kaori to Kousei. They are tied together and there is nothing you can do about it. You wll never have as much impact on him as kaori did and you will never be as important.
Gosh, maybe i am too harsh on Tsubaki. I dont hate her. I hate the idea of them being more than friends. Its not right.

Kashiwagi is a really good friend. By the way, is it just me, or are there some hints that Watari kinda has feelings for Tsubaki...? (Idk maybe I just suck at emotions)

I kind of liked Tsubaki before this episode but was way more focused on Kaori, but with all of the great development she had this episode I like her a lot more. I hope things work out for her. That compilation scene of her memories as she realized she liked Kousei was very well done. Also, kid Tsubaki is adorable; I loved that short scene of her making mud balls for herself and Kousei.

But Kaori is not dating anyone not to mention that the dude is cheating right and left.

"liking my buddies girl" simply does not exist cause Kaori isn't officially dating anyone.

Tsubaki realizing who she really likes was well executed imo, and the highlight of the episode.

In the meanwhile Kaori keeps raising death flags. Bittersweet ending confirmed.

Aw man. This makes things hard because I like both tsubaki and kaori. But it seems tsubakis feelings are so strong. I'm starting to hope she ends up with kousei. Or I hope she ends up falling in love with the other guy. I feel so bad for her

harem ending?

I would bet more on a tragic ending where he doesnt end up with anyone but keeps following his journey with music, "Love Sorrow" after all...

Took long enough for she to figure it out she had feelings for him, like ever since episode 1 it was clear to me, but that is just the way those kind of characters go around with, not being honest with yourself right away.
For one, when I m in love with someone I m the first to know and accept it, and only then, and if I choose to, people around me, and that person will know.

Nah, I would like Kousei going out with Tsubaki. I like that paring. Nah... I think Tsubaki is constantly away from Arima... And that's sad :(
