| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Although the episode was excellent emotionally! ONE HECK OF A RIDER YO! The whole mother theme was in 2 phases first one being a strong Sakai’s mother presence but it also phased in the mother that is a teacher. That one really made things different. Essentially TariTari continues to not only MOE people but gives out more slice of life means through child birth, memories of one’s own birth and their meanings. Here is what I though. About the beginning, the start in the following,  Is very powerful. Mainly a dream of when you were born? TOTALLY! To have a dream like that is incredible and to see oneself as a baby with their mother in that state is a spiritual blessing from the mother herself. I believe Sakai’s mother is very much spiritually with her and was so ever since the whole club/music incident. One has to wonder of what dream in the spoiler About the new school term, looks like it in the spoiler About back at Sakai places, Sakai was so MOE in the Pjs in the spoiler About Konatsu, I LOVE YOU! What a sweet girl in the spoiler About Sakai visiting Sawa, lovely! LOVED IT! Not only we get to see a little housework in the spoiler The second part of this segment in the spoiler About the second half, that started out nice in the spoiler About Sakai back at school, Sakai surprised quite a lot with her smile in the spoiler About Sakai visiting the teacher, you know that teacher that was pregnant? Well OMG at the spoiler About Sakai’s sudden disgust, now I was shocked as heck after how this arc ends. At first it was really nice to see Sakai with her father eating along with a nice flashback in the spoiler  Not only that but that power house of Sakai’s crying in there! WOW! I have never seen a girl so disgusted in a rather profound matter with herself that has not seen anything horrible or has been raped, it’s really a that deep sentiment during that scene. Truly this is quite an amazing strong sensation of disgust with one’s own self in the most deepest of darknesses. Truly understandable but a powerful realization. Lucky Sakai her father saved her sanity in the spoiler About the ED changes, first of all lovely Stitch in the spoiler
Ideally at the end Sakai does take music up again in the spoiler About the preview, interesting enough in the spoiler BTW Intermission in the PS: POWERHOUSE = to a foundation that is powered up to exhibit/output more than it normally does. Whether it be drama or action. Hence why I use the expression. |

| Very touching episode, Wakana has a great voice, they could make a good choir with her.. she's a lot prettier now specially when she's smiling.. Lol at that two guys doing some weird training, they look like they're performing on a circus.. :D |

| Pretty touching episode. It was great seeing everyone singing together at the end. |
 |
| Yes, this is one great episode. It was somewhat boring in the first half, but ended beautifully. Wakana finally overcome her trauma. Good for her. That ED sends chills down my spine. 5/5 |
 |
| YES! YES! YES! SO MUCH WIN IN THIS EPISODE! It's so funny to see Konatsu bought Wakana some cakes again. Seems like she likes cake, eh? (And hell, it's so funny when she threw the cake box when running to save(?) Wakana.) I felt bad for her that she fell into the water though, but that's totally her type! :3 (And BTW, was that cloth hanging shot, and when she mention she didn't wear a bra was a little fan service? I was shocked a bit, haha.) And by the way, seems like the story writer wass trolling us so bad! Wakana was actually crying with joy, not because she was broken! So on this EP, we learned more that her mother really loves her, and she really care for Wakana. Now it makes more sense about why she was hiding her illness to Wakana. (It might not be the best reason, yes, but it still make sense.) We also see how much her father loves her. First by running back from outside, then later in the EP that he kept the Piano and the dolphin. The ending sequence is just perfect. I was throwing my hands up in the air and yelling 'YES' when I saw Wakana singing along with her mother's song. Also, when the choir group came and join, it was just so great. 5/5. I think this EP concludes everything about Wakana from EP1. Now, the next part would be about the choir group and their existence in the school? Let the drama with the Vice Principal continues ... (BTW, The Principal on the stage was EPIC. I was LOL that he was on the stage being like that. Also, finally Dora is coming back!) |

| In my opinion it was best episode so far.I laughed my ass off seeing this Wien and Tanaka practising scene.I was like WUT THE HELL IS THIS?! while choking. Second part in other hand made me cry.BAKA WAKANA...you finally understood something >_> maybe now i will get to like her more (hopefully), since she had some nice moments in this episode, for example saying ''kawaii'' with sparkling eyes xD.I won't forgive her some things though. 5/5 Really good episode :D ED song was just too beautiful. |
 |
| Very touching episode indeed :) |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| So much emotions and tears |
 |
| A little more before I can go: * Sawa and her father doesn't really getting along well. Not sure if that's going to lead to another drama or not, but we will see. (I mean, they both look so cold at each other.) * Now we know that Wakana's mother proposed to her father, using the piano that was in Wakana's room. That bought me a little giggle, as earlier in the episode Wakana's mother talked about "looking to the sky, and make it like you're singing to the person that you like." * Did I mention that Wakana's voice is REALLY GOOD???? Her voice is soooo touching. She did lived up to my expectation. :) * Konatsu's face here is too-damn-funny. Kawaii :3 * And Konatsu again, soaking in water :3 * I love Sawa's mocking her mother expression here: * And boy, Wakana's playing with teacher's child? Totally MOE! * Wakana's laugh in front of the choir club room is just priceless: * Wakana smiled a lot in this episode, this one is the good one :) * Wakana's mother in the photo is really cheerful, totally resemble her personality: * The full choir club photo, really made me smile. |
Toshino Kyoko!!! |
| Nice episode as always! Damn that Tanaka and Wien scene. Can't stop laughing lol! Good to see Wakana having fun with Sawa. The characters and music are just perfect <3 |
| More image stitches from the ED in this episode, in case any of you want it: |
Toshino Kyoko!!! |
|
| Wakana's father handled the whole situation with his daughter very well. He deserves some props for that. I've noticed (I'm pretty sure many people have noticed) that each character seems to have their own interest and challenge associated with that interest. We have the choir club, music and mother, badminton, and equestrian. I'm not sure about Wien, though. Maybe just readjusting to Japan after being away. |
| Damn, Uchuu Kyoudai, Kokoro Connect, and Tari Tari all had touching scenes this week, in which two made me cry a bit. This is 1 of the 2, and I couldn't help the tears when Wakana's Dad (love his character btw) started to cry. The ending made me really happy though. Also, the preview, Sawa and Dad drama next episode. And who is this 'Sai'? |
| wakana shouldve put a trollface in that microwave LMAO @ those two guys exercises beautiful ep. especially the end |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| The story with Wakana and her mother is so good, so damn sad. :'( That final scene was really refreshing. ^^ Stark700 said: All these feel good moments and you point out these. Nice! XD |
| Easily my fav ep of the series so far, shed a tear like 3 separate times |
| best episode so far made me feel all warm inside and such! i didn't think Sakai was capable of other emotions hope she becomes more cheerful after this. next week Sawa time! |

Ajunky said: What a beautiful episode, it almost made me cry. And we finally heard Wakana/Takagaki sing, although her voice was kinda drowned by the chorus... Hmm, the guys don't sing as well as the girls, I definitely liked better the duo version... but this one was fine too. I liked the fact that this show: A) Acknowledges the male cast B) Includes them in the song Sure if you take them out it would be a lovely song but come on, how many songs with two or more girls have you heard in the last week alone? I really appreciate this show having the balls to include the guys as well, now I hope we see Wien and Tanaka's stories. Very surprisingly good episode with a lovely song to end it. P.A. Works learned from HanaIro how to properly pace itself. |

That ED sends chills down my spine. 5/5 I know what you mean about that ED! I will be listening to that for weeks to come! Somebody commented on an earlier episode about the lack of multi-part arrangements in the music. That question should be put to rest now! What a wonderful choral arrangement of an absolutely beautiful song! Also, nice confirmation that it was co-written by Mahiru and the Vice Principle! I hope that she can get some healing out of this too! I think she is hurting about as much as Wakana was. sikandsak said: Yumekichi11 said: I think Wakana's broke down in this EP is really for the good sake though.

(BTW, Sakai is Wakana's last name...) That was really neat! It also shows that the people doing this show know something about horse riding, because it does take a lot of leg muscles. I have the same question about the end picture! Where? As for my take on this episode - one word: EPIC! This was, bar none, the best episode of the season so far in any show, and that includes the one that I thought that of before this, which was this weeks Kokoro Connect! I don't know when the last time there were two slice-of-life shows of such high quality on at the same time! It is an awesome season! |

Toshino Kyoko!!! |
| Also, I am really glad that we got the real story behind why Mahiru didn't want to tell Wakana. She would rather have the promise to write a song together go unfulfilled than for that song to be a sad song, which it would have been if Wakana had known, because she would have made sure to make time to write a song, but the song would not have been a happy one. That makes perverse sense. |

| A really touching episode. I'm glad Wakana has taken the steps to forgive herself. That crying scene really was touching, and it honestly made me shed some tears. I really want to see what Wien's story is though..lets hope he has one. He's one of the characters that interest me the most. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| Wakana's Mom and Dad are the best and i knew her dad wouldn't throw out that stuff, Just hate seeing Wakana cry make me sad :( but atleast we had a happy ending |
| > Did I mention that Wakana's voice is REALLY GOOD???? Her voice is soooo touching. She did lived up to my expectation. :) Ayahi Takagaki graduated from a Tokyo music college majoring in operatic singing. ;) |
 |
| So painfully beautiful :') I love Wakana, and her mother as well. |
| Best episode so far. 5/5 |
| Wakana's father opening the microwave only to find bread was quite possibly the saddest scene out of the entire episode. Damn you, Wakana! |
| So touching in such the right ways. That ending song just gave me chills up my spine. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| A good episode and probably the best so far. It had some humorous moments (the bread in the microwave, Taichi and Wien's bizarre vocal exercises) but the core of the episode was Wakana finally coming to terms with her mother's death and opening herself back up to music. Overall, it was a touching resolution to the issue that featured some nice bonding between her and the other members of the group. Also, the ED was great - some nice images in the montage as well. |
| Great episode with Wakana central She had some high and lows and it was nice to see his dad can cry as well The Gangnam style part at the choir club room was hilarious |
| Reeallllly good episode almost shed some tears. I busted out laughing at the Wien and Taichi scene, couldn't help laugh some more when Wakana started to laugh. I couldn't help but have a smile on my face when Wakana started to sing :] |
| Much better than last ep. Good to see Wakana has moved on and realized she was a bitch to her mom. Now that she's out of her gloomy state, hopefully we'll see her in a more happy and playful mood as seen in this ep. She was a total buzzkill these past few eps. All in all a great ep. |

bruce19 said: This has got to be P.A works worst anime Not even close. Stellar episode. I said last episode that I didn't like Wakana so I was bored when they focused on her, but now I definitely do like her. Glad to see her warm up, and I was touched by the song at the end along with the sildeshow of her and her mother. |
| LMAO at Wien and Tanaka's scene Great episode, a really touching one :') |
| Heart warming episode :) |

Works learned from HanaIro how to properly pace itself. I totally agree with you about the value of having the boys singing and I think they sing just fine, thank you very much. Wakana's voice still comes through in the chorus sections with the richness and fullness of the sound if nothing else. There is a much fuller blend to the vocals in this version. Also, the complexity of the arrangement is wonderful! There are some moments of dissonance, parts where the melody shifts from one vocal line to the other, and fantastic use of harmony and unison. It is fantastic! Droplet said: bruce19 said: This has got to be P.A works worst anime Not even close. Stellar episode.

I always wonder why someone who obviously doesn't like a show would bother to not only continue watching it 6 episodes in, but actually waste enough time out of their lives to come to a message board about the show and put it down. Seriously, I have much better things to do with my time than fixate on things I don't like! |

| this was the better episode of the series. at least, i definitely like this episode better than last week. i could never figure out why that letter convinced her to get rid of the piano and also cry that the piano's gone at the same time. the beginning of this episode kinda wrote it off (it's a cold!). she couldn't have regretted doing it then, because she regretted doing it at the end of this episode! i only had 2 complaints about the episode this week: 1) even in memory form, her mother's a fucking saint. it almost feels like she's too perfect to be believable, you know what i mean? And 2) the end of this episode was even more predictable than the end of Kokoro Connect episode 5. In fact, we saw this coming when she wanted to get rid of the piano. I'm sitting there last week going "how can she get rid of her mother's 1 heirloom? Not to mention her mom's a famous songwriter, so that thing's near priceless." The answer was of course she won't get rid of it because her dad won't get rid of it. I mean it's damn near priceless (for sentimental reasons). I think I'm more or less done with trying to pick my brain over how much i like this series and just shut my brain off to enjoy it. Next week looks to start Sawa's story, and once again we don't really know much about her other than she's near perfect. |
 |
| fucken awesome episode |
    |
| Nice episode! Was quite funny, and sad at same time. |
 |
| next episode will be a hit! |
 [/URL] |
| Yay, she finally sang~ I prepared myself for Ayahi Takagaki's singing voice by listening to her songs / songs with Sphere, and I REALLY REALLY LOVE her strong voice, and she's really good with a soft voice as well. @___@ Wakana is and always has been my favourite character in the show. 8'D Also, when I heard mini-Wakana's voice, the first character I thought of was Mitsuba from Mitsudomoe. xD |
| I was extremely touched by this episode. At least I manage to have a laugh at the end of the ED song. |
| Such a beautiful episode. The most beautiful episode of this season. :') Bumped my rating to a 9/10 after this episode. And I don't think it will dip from there. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| This episode could easily be qualified for a final episode..... Awesome episode.... If I didn't know this series has 13 episodes, I would definitely think that this is the final episode. Wakana might be my "best female character for this season" Series rating went from 6/10 -> 7/10 -> 8/10 |
