What a dissapointing ending!!!!
We don't know who won the Concourse and Kahoko is still a complete spaz. At least Yunoki is back...
I expected a lot more from this anime when it started, but since episode 14 it has really gone downhill. There has been no romance whatsoever and instead of deflowering half the participants of the Concourse Kahoko has become obsessed with her violin!

Well, I suppose not all music animes can be as good as Nodame Cantabile, but this one was quite dissapointing. (sorry about the whining!)

>_> I totally agree with you... the first half of the series was so, so good. Not Nodame Cantabile-good, but still pretty darn good.

And then... Kaho became angsty, and everything died.

There was NO conclusion. No winner, no love for Kaho, and just... bah. It was incredibly annoying.

I really do hope they make a second season, just so we can have a definite ending. And more Len-goodness. :D

ouch...tough crowd...i didn't think the ending was too bad but i do agree with a lot of the points made...anyways, i'll sum up what i thought of the series now with some pros and cons...

+ yunoki is epic, ended being well developed, he comes back at the end, he's still my role model :D
+ len isn't an arrogant bastard, actually cares for kaho in some way (telling her to be careful not cut her hand), he and ryo end up liking each other somewhat and end up as rivals
+ ryo's past is revealed and we know why he stopped playing piano, giving up soccer for the sake of music was touching
+ tons of bishounen each with a unique personality
+ interesting reverse harem with nice fantasy elements focusing on classical music
+ some amazing scenes (yunoki revealing his dark side, a perfectly synchronized ave maria violin duet underneath the moonlight was amazing)
+ the ending where all 5 of the guys play on stage at the end and cue them helping out the children with their concert during the credits was a nice finishing touch
+ learned more about classical music thanks to lili's one point classic

- shimizu and hihara aren't as developed as the other males
- who the hell won the concours?
- what about the teacher who had to quit singing? no explanation or closure on this issue
- yunoki went to england to cancel plans to go to england? i'm going to have to slap a "wtf?" sticker on this one
- performances paled in comparison to nodame cantabile
- kaho was bearable at times until she goes into "i'm deceiving everyone with my fake violin and gonna be all angsty about it" mode
- no focus on character relationships love wise...you would think kaho would fall for at least one of the guys...(poor hihara...he loves a girl who's in love with her violin, T_T)

anyways, a good series for me but could have been a lot better...7 out of 10...and forget a second season...where the hell is my spin off series that focuses only on yunoki? :D

i agree. at first i loved this series to pieces, but the ending was so opennended. who won the concours? why did the teacher stop singing? who does kaho fall in love with damnit?!!

but i guess thats what happens when an anime finishes whena manga isnt complete yet... unless it was basing itself off the game instead?

but the one good tihng i liked about the ending were the performances. i loved tsukimori's performance. that is one of my favorite piano pieces <3.

and was anyone else singing the candy mountain song (from charlie the unicorn) during fuyuumi's performance?! hahaa.. i know i was.

i dunno. i originally rated this show as a 10 but i think because of how it ended i'm going to have to change it.

Just to let you know, there is a special. I'm watching it now and it seems to be wrapping up the story in an OVA like way. You can get it at AnimeSuki. StrawberryMintSubs has subbed it. If you can't get it there then go to Baka-Updates and download the torrent. It could be named as episode 26 la corda d'oro.

I liked this episode because there are some beautiful music. I'm also disppointed that we don't know the name of the winner nor no lover for Kaho, but the manga is not finished yet, there is 9 volumes published in Japan until now.

the special doesnt really wrap anything up though.. and thats the sad part. you still dont know who won, still dont know why that teacher stopped singing, and it really didnt explain much at all. though i probably shouldnt be writing htis here, should i...

I agree, it was so good in the first half that I couldn't stop watching until Len confronted kaho and then it just went downhill. I wanted to see their relationship grow more! not kaho falling in love with her violin.

I don't feel bad about the ending at all. Just like in Ouran, the girl doesn't really choose the one she loves the most. It's a bit disappointing, I admit, because in regular harems, the lead character -always- chooses a girl, but it doesn't seem the case in reverse harems. In any case, it was a beautiful ending, and Kaho made me proud. Even without the magic, she still played beautifully. And the songs that all the others played, they matched their personalities so much, I was in awe.

THIS is how you do a good shoujo. Except, needed more definite romance instead of hints.

Oh well. All that's left for me is to read Len/Kaho fanfiction. Or pray for a continuation.

Still, I don't regret watching this at all. Truly a beautiful anime.

yeah... i really hated the ' no romance' part .... such a spoiler ...

hai.hai..
i remembered oUraN.
gRrrr.. i hate this type of endings..

i want her to be with Len (Ren) or HihaRa kazUki bUt in the flow of the story i think she will end up with ryoutarOU..*sigh*
weLL.even though it ended like tHat i love and enjoyed iT.!

shimizu is sooooooo kawaii~ .. !!!!!!!!!lol =p

i hope there is a second season.!

kinda disappointing. XD

we didn't even get to know the winner
and
no romance for Kahoko. XD



agreed~! lol XP

i tought that all of the participants was the winner,they are very good.
I'd love every episodes from la corda D'oro ~primo passo~
episodes 16-20 are very sad,but every one tries to cheer-up kahoko
don't you think that even in real world we are not just feel happy,we did feel sad,bad,down,and disappointed ??
but,God never let us goes too far trough the sadness..
God sent our the other peoples to make us happy.



sorry if my english was terrible.

meh that was sleezy. almost makes me puke.

I'm disappointed with the ending. No romance, no clear winner either. *sigh*

Well...without Hino being emo guys...there really wouldn't of been any drama. You know...it would of just been 'normal'. Plus this all began with that magical violin that Lili gave her. The guys actually taught her that music was prettyful and what not. She started playing because of them. But then she really got all crazy when she started comparing herself to them and she wanted to be better. That's how it broke and the magic was all poof. =P

I was happy she started all over again though. She was having somewhat of a inner-struggle with herself. But she made it out okay in the end. The poor guys though, they looked miserable. Even Hihara. The poor guy was always so happy and he just got so miserable. Then again they really couldn't do much for Hino they were all into practcing. They need to of course, cuz music is their life. Well except for Yunoki, his grumpy grandmother wants him to take over the business and all that jazz.

I thought it wasn't that bad at all, but...I feel like they should of announced a winner maybe? :P It left me a bit hanging there.

Still I don't think there will be a clear relationship. Maybe there will be if they have a season two, but...maybe the creators wanted to leave us hanging? I dunno. =P I like certain pairings though. But a girl only can end up with one guy. XD

I thought the ending was good, I just wish they announced the winner. I didn't really expect a solid pairing at the end anyway so that didn't bother me. Hopefully there will be another season.

i thought this episode was funny and had good music which i want to get but dont know how....as for the ouran that ending is sorta like a cliff ending as saying it still ocntinue as that what got me interested in reading the manga and ouran not focused on the love compared to this story................this ep was good but during the concour last selection i didnt like all the sob stories of how each one affected her life as by watching most of the ep were about that........its just weird how a fairy started all this and it doesnt have much power for a magical bieng.......although dramatic yet i still dont like how every one was obssessed over hino even though she was the main character........oh wellz still good and
left a very inspiring idea about music

i don't think this is a bad ending. actually i love it because i love all the pieces of music in this episode. i guess this anime focuses more on the development of kahoko rather than romance (i already believe that she is totally in love with her violin rather than with the guys way before), so i am satisfied that kahoko is no longer angsty but played a piece with her own effort.

if i have to point out something unsatisfying about this episode, it would be : who win the concour???

Wow, you really hit the nail on the head. I agree completely. I was thinking about all of these things, especially her depression that goes on for like 10 episodes. That was annoying. I was getting tired of it. Len, or Tskimuri should have definiately ended up with Kaho in the end. It would support the turn around of his character even more. I guess they made a point of not always having to have romance at the end of a story. In this case it would have made it better. I beleive it was beautiful anime, but the faiere brought it down a few notches along with here 'teen angst' or the 'not worthy to play the violin' It often got repetitive, but i enjoyed it.
A second season would not give this series justice, but if it had a different ending it would be better.
I imagined Kaho would end up playing the Ave Maria with Len again, and continuing from there with some kind of closer relationship. And maybe that one teacher would sing the Ave Maria as well. idk. It would leave the teacher with more of a resolve. It clearly looked as if Len liked Kaho too :(
This series really got my hopes up and then disappointed me extremely. What a let down. It had such great potential.
