Good episode, but really 3 episodes for her? At this pace there will hardly be any development for the guys.

Really nice, emotional episode. So now that we've solved Konatsu's and Wakana's issues, I guess it's Sawa's turn next? And then we move onto the boys.


Like to believe that but dont see it happening.

A perfect harmonic ending to a touching episode~ I'm guessing those pictures at the end were their summer memories?

Looking forward to exploring the rest of the characters backgrounds, with still the hope of romance to occur Dx

This episode made me do a complete 180 for Wakana, I love her character now. Before I thought she was just a moody teen, but after all the explanation in this episode it makes sense why she's been acting the way she does. It seems like her personality is about ready to flip for the better as well.

Very emotional episode, it got me this time unlike the past ones. the ED theme is amazing. Wakana's Mother really touches me deep down from the bottom of my heart. and PAWork's amazing animation further amplifies the amazement I have with this episode

Pretty good episode. Why does everyone have to be perfect singers? Lol.

I love Melody of the Heart. Need to get write some sheet music for it, for duet. LOL

I like the show, but I don't like the characters very much right now. They're all just kind of "meh" to me right now. >< Same with Kokoro Connect. I don't specifically love any character.

But yeah, I'm looking forward to next week.

And finally it seems that Sakai has gotten over her troubles; this episode concluded it well.

I don't really see anything interesting about next episode in the preview though, hope they'll come up with something that'll keep me entertained.

Even though the episode suffered from the usual problems while presenting drama, I think that they actually did a pretty good job at it. The interaction between father and daughter was terrific, they managed to sneak in some funny moments and fashion queen Sawa. The ending this time around was fitting, and it actually would have been a strong finale for the series. I hope the actual last episode will be at least this good. 5/5.

I understand Wakana's mothers reason for not telling her she was going to die but i still think it wasn't a good decision of her to do that.
Tho it's nice to see that Wakana's pain has been soothed and that she understands her mothers reasons.
When Wakana's father mentioned that her mother was the one who proposed to her i believed him Wakana's mother seems like a very straightforward woman who knew what she wanted.

Konatsu falling in the water was pretty funny especially since she realised she was wrong and then there was Wakana's surprised face after that.

Nice scenes this ep, liked the flashback part of Wakana's parents. (at the park). Also as a bonus, the scene where Konatsu fell. lol

A very sweet anime. I'm not really an emotional person (and by that, I mean I don't cry. Ever. It's impossible for me to do so. Completely.) but this sweetness is rather touching.

And seriously.

No crying from me.

"Dreamer" and "Harmoney of the Sea Breeze" are both out. See http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=473513 for some detail/vote. I think you can grab them from Nyaa.eu. ;)

For "The Melody of the Heart", I haven't seen any release yet.

I know what you mean! I smiled, I cried, I overflowed with joy at seeing Wakana able to share the joy of music with her friends!

I feel the same. This episode is the best episode so far this season in any show! It will be hard to surpass.

Absolutely beautiful.

I bawled several times in this episode.

Here is a story to let you know just how powerful this show is:

To start with, my own mother died over 15 years ago, when my eldest child was just over 1 month old. He gets his driver's license next fall. I think about her often, but less and less as the years go on. I am kind of a strange person when it comes to crying. I will tear up over a TV show or a sentimental song, but I have only cried twice when someone died. My mother and my grandfather, her father. I still think that the reason I cried then is because my mom was. My father passed away last year and I had to talk with my kids about the fact that their dad, who cries watching anime with them all the time, just doesn't cry at funerals for some reason. (They were quite worried about me.) I can't really explain it, but it is how I have always been.

After watching the episode, I turned the ED into an MP3 so I could listen to the exquisite choral harmonies over and over. While I was going to sleep, I set the song on repeat and listened to it while I nodded off. Eventually I slept and had a dream. In the dream, the kids from Tari Tari were singing the song on stage, but they weren't anime, they were people. I have no clue what they looked like, just that they were singing. At one point in the song, I looked across the auditorium and saw one of the side doors open, and my mother walked in.

I immediately snapped awake and cried for probably 15 minutes, hugging myself very much the way that Wakana does in this episode. I haven't had a dream about my mother for years. The emotional weight of Wakana's story is devastatingly accurate and capable of eliciting emotions I had trouble expressing and showing when my own mother died. This is powerful stuff, and very good!

So sad, I'm glad Wakana understood the feelings her mother had and her own attitude towards her at the time.

It's such a relief they kept the piano afterall.

During the ED they showed a montage of the club doing things together like surfing (and playing with badminton racquets in the water...), horseback riding, riding on a train together, etc... The impression I got was that it was showing how their life is moving on for the next month or two, possibly into early winter, as they were wearing scarves on the train. It is possible we will see a time jump to winter break, but probably just to Sawa's mounted archery competition.


Oh yeah.... now I forgot.

Or, those pictures could just be the new ED now that Wakana is officially part of the club... (see episode 7 ED for evidence...) But, in any case... :)

Pretty moving episode actually. Music has always held a dear place in Wakana's heart, and I feel relieved now that she finally understood and came to terms with it.

This was a beautiful and touching episode, what a nice way of concluding Wakana's regret with her mom. Those flashbacks were once again sad to watch and the scenes with Wakana and her dad were too. I can't believe I ended up tearing up again for the 2nd episode in a row. Ahh this anime has been really nice. And I am glad that Wakana's dad did the right thing and didn't throw away the piano and the strap doll.

That song at the end was great.
