Loved the jazz performance in front of the school! And I'm really glad to see Kaoru and Sentaro back together. (:

That was so freaking heartwarming. My god, the last scene. Can you get more bromancy than that? Loving this series SO much, and hope to see more of the backstory behind Jun.

THAT WAS AMAZING!!! I'm just waiting for the anime to be over now so I can add it to my five faves with confidence. lol.
It is just me, or did Ri-chan seem a little sweet on Karou at the last? I LOVED how Sentarou and Karou reunited and wow did that rock band look stupid dancing like that.
I don't know who pulled the power cord and I don't care. That last scene was anime gold.
I WILL get the soundtrack... somehow.

Beautiful just, beautiful. How they ended the conflict between them by the music that brought them together in the first place. If I were one of those standing in the gymnasium I would ask for an encore.

As someone with experience playing jazz, there's but one thing to say about a performance like that.

It was hot.

The performance was very good indeed, there's just one single thing that tick me off.

When they start playing and all the student are rushing to the stage... oh god that was as cheesy as it could be. Seriously they played for like 3 minutes, would all these people (while some of them were running stands as well) would be in a position to go to the gym by the time it ends?
It just felt really strange to me

This is why I decided to watch this show.

Anime based around jazz?....I like jazz, I'll give it a shot, looks promising. Episode 7? Makes my decision all worth it. Amazing fusion of the various songs in that performance.

That's a disproportionate reaction; at least dislike them for giving it a 2/5 and only hate the people who give it a 1/5.

I also just woke up so I really am clueless as to what I'm typing.

Best single episode of the Spring season so far. Not even Hyouka's godly animation can match the story telling in this one episode alone. And the music medley is the icing on the cake...mesmerizing piece of music indeed. I'd watch it again and again. ^_^

That was... amazing.

I have never seen such wonderful music performance in anime before. Hokago Tea Time? Girls Dead Monster? ENOZ? Those are nothing as compared to this piece of REAL art. It was really an eye opener for me, showing how far anime can actually go.

Oh how I love this series. Every time things get bad, jazz finds a way to bring them back together, or rather, they find a way to understand each other through it. Either way it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and I absolutely love it! Oh and the animation was fantastic during sen and karoru's scene.

What a fantastic episode. The 4 minutes of uninterrupted musical dialogue were just mindblowing.

Never underestimate the healing power of music.

LOL, to tell the truth, even if you didn't know you can tell the writer is a woman.

Guys don't fight like this, not even best buds, we just don't. Forget about straight guys running hand in hand... a woman's imagination is a fearful place.

But the music was superb, so I don't really care about the rest... Now I'm off to hear that jam again.


Even if you didn't know, this is a josei anime. Which means it's target audience is mature women. Emphasis on the mature part. Getting bent out of shape over more feminine and emotional portrayals of things like close friendship in josei is as pointless and silly as getting upset over pantyshots in an ecchi. I feel the need to point this out to you.

But thank you for speaking for all men in all time periods in all countries everywhere all the time. I'm sure they appreciate your defense against the heinous act of touching hands. @_@

Jam session was nice, but people running and calling everybody to see the show was lame.

It was good how they made up quickly. It's normal to fight over silly stuff, specially when they are young, and make up easily, unless something really serious takes place.

A-Ma-zing.
Only for this epsiode the series deserve a big fat 10.

When the "My favorite things" strated i said: *Finally!*. But when Kaoru started with "Moaning" man, i actually started clapping my hands in enjoyment.
It was a mental orgasm.

BTW: I can't belive there's 2 people that didn't liked this episode.

I'm already inclined to give it a 9. This was the episode to beat, none of the other Spring shows have shown this level of awesomeness. I'm already putting Sakamichi for #1 on my may summary post.

Perfect episode. Sentaro was great, I don´t blame Yurika for not stoping him, I probably wouln´t xD Anyway, better Jun showed up.

Kaoru is more sociable now, so he is making new friends and getting more responsabilities, good for him.

Rock band dance was ridiculous, lucky Jazz saved the festival, and the best friends are back... they just didn´t need to run away like a couple lol

Oh, man. You people have a dead imagination, don't you?
Why do you think they were only playing for 3 minutes? Just beacuse it was a 3 minute OST?
Kaoru said he will keep the crowd occupide a while UNTIL the amp is fixed.
Eventually, the amp was not fixed but why would they play a 3 minute song to fill in that time?
And you seriousy think students will gather in a flash?
I stated to get the impression that the two were jamming longer that what was shown, when the students where accumulating.

I might be wrong but remember that this show is packed and condensed as Fxxk!
Not everything is shown or explained to us.
I've seen people complain a lot about how Kaworu's kiss was too fast.
Come on, guys! They only have 25mins x 11eps.
The creaters are asking us to fill the time gap by ourselves, no?
3 mins of this show doesn't necessarily equal to real time 3 mins, even if it's a live persormance.

If you disagress with me and think thats the flaw of this show, go watch an anime that has a more "realistic" time flow.
Say, like Haruhi. (specificly, Season 2 endless eight).
