| Rip Tsubaki heart break |
| Even Kousei's mom is happy with his performance :D |
 |
| And thus, Kousei changed his goal from "aiming to get 1st in competitions to make his mom happy" to "playing beautifully to make Kaori happy", really gotta commend him on overcoming his inner demons. The imagery during his performance is really beautiful too Kousei definitely lost this competition now but who cares at this point, he lost the battle but not the war And thus a new character appears, I'm assuming she's gonna take the "mentor-isque" role of helping Kousei on his new path? |
| What a comeback from the first half. His mother also smiling at the end was sad and happy at the same time. But, there's one thing on my mind. Do you not care about Tsubaki at all? He kept saying how Kao is the only one that matters. Poor Tsubaki. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| As soon as I start getting into the performance, someone starts talking and gives me massive whiplash, is there really not gonna be at least one performance where everyone shuts up and lets the music do the talking, damn. |

| Nah, he shouldn't have shown up to check the scores. Also, the foreshadowing from Kaori is super predictable. Cmon, taking pills everyday and fainting all over the place? The ending is so obvious. |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| Wow wow wow wowowowow that was an amazing performance ! With the violin added to it, it made for such a beautiful interpretation. I'm proud of Kousei being able to overcome his struggles like that, even when knowing he won't win. I just hope he'll manage to finally play piano for himsef rather than for someone else. |
 |
| Oh well finally he's improving a bit! His mom's flashbacks were kinda creepy ngl lol. Hope to see him keep improving and go back to being a prodigy! |
 |
| At the beginning it didn't go so well but at the end Kousei was amazing! |
 |
| Seriously what is up with the amount of flashbacks in this anime? Has the director ever heard of "show, dont tell"? Maybe dont offload your 5 minute exposition dump onto me during the most crucial moments of the episode. I thought this anime was about music but I thought wrong. I can't hear any of the music because some dumbass uninteresting side character that will be gone in 2 episodes keeps talking over it. And it just keeps happening. |
 |
| Could it be that this time Kousei got over his trauma for good? Because Kaori said he was finally back |

| No way in hell Emi could visualize the classroom, the smell of chalk dust, and even the fucking broken window just from his music. That's way too specific to be believable. Tasel said: As soon as I start getting into the performance, someone starts talking and gives me massive whiplash, is there really not gonna be at least one performance where everyone shuts up and lets the music do the talking, damn. Yeah, I can tolerate these kind of ramblings in sports anime, but it's especially annoying in music anime. Really destroys all the mood. Then again, it won't be anime if they don't autistically explain everything to really make sure the audience got it lol. |
| How could everyone tell he was going to stop playing before he actually did? Kousei performing for Kaori would be more buyable if there was actually more substance to their relationship at this stage in the series, which there isn't. Bro, you know your mom did not just smile at that performance. |
 |
| This episode kept me on the edge! I didn't even know what to think until the end. In any case, I love the bond that subtly forms between Kousei and Kaori. It has depth and style. |
| "The me today will not ever make the future me to regret!" (Emily Adachi from Air Gear: Kuro no Hane to Nemuri no Mori - Break on the Sky)  |
| Nada que uma terapia pos traumatica não resolvesse... mas ep fofinho |
 |
| I expected more and I was not moved as characters in anime... Emi was way better, Takeshi too, but Emi will win wonder what that last girl has to do with him? She looks like from rock band |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| I know it's framed in a wholesome way but I find it a little concerning that Kousei went from playing the piano to make his sick mother happy to playing to make his sick friend happy... |
| well... that sure was a huge tremendous pack of emotions for one episode |
| I can't tell exactly why, but this episode made me tear up. I guess it was a combination of the music and the feelings each character associated with it. I don't recall crying to this episode when I first watched this all the way back in 2014 or 2015. |
| Pretend there's something flashy and cool here. |
| Gaddamn, he almost drowned. Kousei please keep on going don't give up |
 |
| A very emotional episode where we are shown Arima's transformation. It's a schizophrenic performance. At first, he was replicating his former self, then unraveling, then when he decided that he will only play for Kaori, he found his true purpose of playing. He may not even place in the competition, but at least he will get over his trauma over his mother. |
