----------------------------------------
Another great episode. This one was very heavy on Sakai’s past much more than other ones. I think it was time to clear more of her feelings and boy was it out a lot this episode. One of the most remarkable things of this episode is the way they showed Sakai and her mother in the spoiler normally as Sakai was visiting her mother. I do like they show Sakai attending school at this point with a uniform despite her mother being sick. The uniform is nice itself.

Learning of the meaning of that precious object in the spoiler that was quite interesting to find out through Sakai’s mother when she was alive. In fact just seeing Sakai’s mother and talking is a a nice bliss. I always wanted to find out more of her mother. She really is graceful and kind.

One thing that is clear in the following,

Along with the spoiler

was quite suffering TBH. Sakai’s suffering is so deep and touching. I wish I could comfort her there. Sakai’s mother….:( Sad really sad her fate.

Truly a most strong and powerful Sakai episode.

About the beginning, I really liked the part with Wien in the spoiler kind of gave off a more personal approach towards his private life. Wien was quite interesting after that in the fact he got Konatsu somehow cheering along him. This is seen as she changes her mood in the spoiler despite having very rich facials along with being funny until it falls apart a little.

I admit that during the competition it was nice to see Tanaka’s sister run in but more more than anything lovely dance in the spoiler

that was quite enthusiastic of them.

About the after competition, that was quite nice of Tanaka’s sister to be around till the end but Sawa impressed more in the spoiler as talking to Tanaka nicely along with setting that the sun shows out. Nice of Wien to join along.

Sakai meeting with Sawa’s mother, very emotionally charged when going back into the past lane itself of Sakai. The most being the following one,

That shows Sakai’s mother when she was as young as Sakai herself along with even Sawa’s mother when she was young, which seems to suggest she was quite outgoing and cheerful. It was hard to see such flashbacks as in the spoiler of Sakai and her mother. Knowing exactly the fate of her mother. The being said it was partial drama depressing and the first half was somewhat cheerful only to be stopped by depressing drama after.

About the preview, not good for Sakai IMO from the looks of the spoiler

she breaks down hard. Unless someone comes and cheers her up things will get worse on her mental health ultimately leading to worse things. Hope Sakai finds her smile back in the next episode.

BTW Intermission was nice in the spoiler

with lots of pics for all!

I feel sorry for Sakai now. She wasn't one of my favorites in the beginning..but now, I feel a bit sorry for her ;.;

So Wakana changed from a bratty girl to a gloomy girl. Well, she really was just a brat, so I don't blame her attitude towards her mother. But staying gloomy for years until now that she is not a brat anymore is so boring. I like her even less now. It has taken years after her mother's death and she still cannot understand what her mother tried to teach?

On the other hand Wakana's mother was a very nice person. She was talented and truly enjoying what she was talented at. Maybe she should be more straightforward to her daughter.

Wakana's mother was so full of energy and cheerful. Very sad to see her pass away like that.

Sakai really don't understand anything.She didn't really show her love to mother, she was simply mean to her while she was still alive...the worse thing is that there was no actual reason(or i missed it?).Tests? examins? are you fking kidding me? you have an amazing mother who wants to teach you music(the biggest treasure of life), and you care of examins?!.Here you have results idiot.You're mother passed and you are full of regrets ._.
I don't understand Sakai, i have a feeling that she's simply stupid.Or is it me and there is actual reason why i should think she is smart?.

Im angry because of Sakai.She threw away most important thing, and after all those years she still don't understand.Some people (me too) can't play music, even if they want like hell for whole life, and she just fking ignored it.

5/5.

Wakana loved music as she was little but as she grew up she lost interest, I believe it's because her mother kept trying to force music upon her even though she wasn't interested

Well, Wakana mother want to teach the love of the music, Wakana sure grown up and forgot about that and yet she still don't understand that her mother want Wakana continue with the music.
It's not like she forcing Wakana to learn music.

Wakana is mentality broken and her friends will saved her, that's what I expect from the next preview.

Sad episode. Dora the explorer is lost >_>

Sakai no Baka!

Why give away the Piano and the Charm. What? so she doesn't have to face the painful memories of her mother anymore even if she's the cause of that pain? What a sore loser.

Honto ni Daikirai.

I found the story of Wakana and her mother sad. She's been holding onto that grief for a long time, too.

wow what a sad episode, just goes to show ya always be nice to someone you love, you never know when the last day you'll see em or talk em, never let the last word you say be full of hate.

i learn this lesson the hard way.

Ouch, that ending was pretty sad

almost made me shed a tear

Man most of this episode was pretty depressing and the sad Wakana of today is hard to watch with that being said it's a shame her mother died she seemed very cheerful and i would had liked to see her around still ;_;.

Exams are kinda important in Japan. No excuse to being bratty but they are important nevertheless. Also she didn't know her mother was dying. It was kept a secret from her so she could study without worry because like I said, exams are important in Japan.

I'm guessing she was simply going through the retaliation phase we all go through sometimes. Bad timing?

Sad, sad episode. I was almost in tears. It makes sense why she cannot love music anymore.

Great episode overall. This anime is doing surprisingly well for not being a romance genre anime.

5/5

so sad :'(
can see why she doesnt do music. she was so cold to her mother

This episode this too damn sad. However, now we know why Wakana is being this way (in spoiler):

It shocked me though that she finally get rid of her piano, and it was gone as well! I thought from the last EP preview that someone would stopped her from doing that. However, I fell like

I wish things could get better for her. Seriously, the preview in the ending in the spoiler isn't good either: Come on Konatsu, I think you can help Wakana to fell better.

Now for the fun part, this got me lol'ed at the beginning of the episode (in spoiler):and I thought that Wakana would joined?!

I wouldn't think there'll be romance story in here, but I think Sawa x Tanaka does have some feeling for each other:
I think it might be a B-side story, which I think that's fine. :)

The other one that I like is in the spoiler:So Sawa now bought Konatsu a hot tea instead of spanking her butt. They're so cute to each other.

---

This EP we also know more about previous Choir club. This also confirms Wakana's mother and Vice Principle relationship (and also, Sawa's mother .. surprised!) in the spoiler:Also, they were singing "Melody of the Heart" in the competition, as carrying by the Vice President (Takakura-san)

Finally, tidbits:

* Where was Dora?!
* Wakana's smile in the spoiler is too damn adorable, don't you think?

Ew. Wakana is so uninteresting to me so this episode failed to hold my attention. Meh.

More Sawa, Konatsu and Wien please.

More tidbits:

* Sawa wants to be a jockey.

* I believe the dance would come from an anime. Does anybody recognize the dance in the spoiler?

* This is in the letter from her mother to Condor Queen's:

* Also, this quote in the spoiler does tell us how she feltAfter I re-watched the episode, seems like the rainy day that her mother forgot to bring her raincoat out, and later gave her a charm, was the day right before she was deadly sick. So yeah, she did totally regretted that she didn't say "I'm leaving" and "thank you" for the charm when it was possible. That's a heartbreaking ...

* And yes, I think Wakana regretted that she gave away the Piano (as she said "I'm sorry" on the last scene.)

Actually, she's probably one of the most interesting character in this anime. You have to understand where she's coming from. She essentially regrets who she was in the past and can never, ever, make up for it.

I can probably sympathize with her because I see a bit of myself in her.

Be grateful for your parents you guys, they do a lot more for you than you can ask for (which probably is a lot already). They won't be around for long, and hopefully you realize all of this before it's too late.
