| oh man shts about to happen gg |
 |
| hnnnng, cuteness overload, but I don't think all will be just happiness from now. After all, it's a love triangle story. I already predict that he will kiss Touma in the future and so both heart will be broken :P I hope I'm wrong... About the concert, it was really great. The second song was pretty cool, he rocked that solo. Also, dat sax... Dayum Touma, you're too great... I liked the rivalty they created during the concert, it was well placed. But I think we all have the same question... Why the fuck they didn't show the last son?!? It was suppose to be is ''big'' composition, his dream. I thought it would be an important moment so that they would show it... Those outfit were hilarious. Setsuna was horny when she choosed them or what? xD Touma looked like a S/M :P About the scene between Touma and Haruki, it was good to see Touma open like that, but she missed her chance. Setsuna ''said'' during the concert that she would no longer hide her feeling, now Touma can only blame herself. Personnally, I didn't mind who would/will finish with him. I think they both have a great chemistry with Haruki. |

| Oh, so Setsuna did the first move eh? I vote for Touma thou, much more interesting character for my tastes! |
| Oh, it's the OP song of Tears to Tiara. The first song, White Album is really good. Poor Touma ;~; |
| This episode <3 Really nice development and man that kiss <3 I really wonder what happens next! |
 |
| NOOOOO FUCK THIS MY BEST GIRL TOUMA :((((( I think it's interesting how nuanced Tetsuna's character is; the university/same degree stuff made her clingy to the point where I hope it hints that Touma's endgame. The girl never gets the guy first, right?! Maybe I'm just being delusional but omg no |
| What a fun episode up until the end. I'm so wishing we could have heard the last song though! D: I feel really bad for Touma.... She ended up crying and even started shaking. Haruki's a moron unless he intends to stay with Setsuna after that kiss, especially after Setsuna's warning. (I mean, goodness, even if he wasn't sure, he could have dodged it for then until he had his thoughts/feelings sorted out.) Getting caught up in the moment is a bad idea. (Props to Setsuna for confessing, though.) Psshheew. I almost want to drop the show here for the "happy" ending. I can already feel the drama coming like a train with the next episode. x.x Best episode yet. Loved it. Edit: Ninah said: I think it's interesting how nuanced Tetsuna's character is; the university/same degree stuff made her clingy to the point where I hope it hints that Touma's endgame. The girl never gets the guy first, right?! Maybe I'm just being delusional but omg no I thought the toothbrush incident came across as far more jealous/clingy than the college thing. I mean, if he felt the same way as her (not sure whether he does), it's kinda natural that they would want to be able to spend more time together. Can't say for certain who'll get the guy, though. I'm leaning a bit toward Touma, but I might be wrong. |

| shit just got real. The love triangle is here! who will haruki choose? |
 |
| Lol this totally sums up what i felt after watching this ep TEAM TOUMA :c i really wanted him to dodge oh well...let da shit beginn Barion-Zara said: WOAH!! They friggin kissed!! O_O Totally didn't expect him to accept the kiss esp after they showed him thinking about Kazusa when Setsuna told him he can dodge. Everything was hinting that he liked Kazusa more O_o? U're totally screwed if u wanted to go after Kazusa now Haruki. That kiss after the promise is like a seal of eternity with Setsuna. I don't think he thought about it like that XD And u'd be a total ass if u kissed Setsuna when u don't love her (which is I think is what happened)!!! Still loved it. Setsuna was really beautiful and her straight forwardness is definitely commendable. She might've just got the win in her pocket because she made the first move like that ^^ Felt bad for Kazusa when they showed us her hat while they were kissing. Loved the concert too. Sooo good!!! Wished we got to hear the 3rd song though :( Well really good ep. The drama shall commence!! And again loved the kiss!!! The visuals were brilliant! <3 |
| I'mma persistent little bugger ;D ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ La-LA-la- Nikka-kouhai reporting for duty! ^^ Ready to be anyone's imouto-chan >u< |
| So the romance drama begins! |

| man I'm loving this series.. and I just can't choose between Touma and Setsuna!! >_> |
 |
| Literally started rolling my eyes when it cut to flashback and still frames during the performance to save budget. I'm actually starting to appreciate Sakamichi no Apollon more. |

DoctorCaim said: Literally started rolling my eyes when it cut to flashback and still frames during the performance to save budget. I'm actually starting to appreciate Sakamichi no Apollon more. I agree. I was also sighing because they just couldn't let the characters play on the stage. The episode didn't need those damn flashbacks and it certainly didn't need all the pointless fucking commentary from the side characters. And another thing that made the episode even fucking cheaper was that during that supposedly tender moment at the end they had to have fucking butt shot. What a cheap show. |
| That mini concert was great! Setsuna's cover of White Album and Sound of Destiny was also great! It was half the episode. I don't mind. It was great! Setsuna made her move! A kiss! No! Touma>Setsuna I sense drama incoming. |
| Episode pleasant, but the narrative while remaining always interesting, is my favor in the second half of the story. Perhaps the intuition that I was right and now begins the best part of the story. Drawings and animations sufficient, the Satelight not shine even this time for his work in this TV series |
 |
| Don't worry guys, tsundere always wins :D Good ep |
 |
| Cheese Album 2. Dude makes out with the school idol and the other girl is a tsundere chick with a huge rack. No wonder people love this anime. |

| Noooooooo best girl can't lose. This episode was the best until the last like 2 minutes. Jokes aside i did enjoy this episode. I can't really understand how Haruki went from fucking up the chords to being able to play that solo in 2 weeks? I guess I will just deal with the magic of anime. I enjoyed the concert though, and the end definitely had the feels. Tsundere = best girl = win. Touma > Setsuna |
| damn, dat kiss, i can sense the drama coming |
| Wow. Selfish bastards didn't even give Takeya any credit for all that programming work he did for their performance. They should have brought him on stage when they were introducing everyone from the band. That's seriously messed up. He's part of the club and part of the band. |
| Touma best girl :'( |
 |
| Amazing episode but fuck.. I don't like where this is going for Touma. |
  |
shotgunjesus said: Yeah, I didn't like how they didn't credit or include Takeya, like damn the band is not only the three of you, y'know.Wow. Selfish bastards didn't even give Takeya any credit for all that programming work he did for their performance. They should have brought him on stage when they were introducing everyone from the band. That's seriously messed up. He's part of the club and part of the band. Also, Im sorry but I just can't root for Setsuna. Touma all the way. |
| I completely expected him to end up with Touma because she had more conflict and drama moments, deeper personality and more screentime. They'd very well stick with this pairing and not switch love interests anytime soon. How could they do this. |

Poor touma , this is me when my ship fails  |
 |
| Oh yes!!! Rooting for Setsuna all the way here! That aside, I really loved Setsuna's outfit this episode. Now that the concert is over, onto the serious drama (I'd assume)! |
| Oh shit, Setsuna continues being super-pushy o_o I can't even blame Haruki that much, I mean one of the hottest girls in the school pretty much takes her panties off for him, wow. She clearly has some issues, I can see this going School Days route, only maybe without any yanderes getting invloved. Other than that, concert was awesome, loved the music they were performing <3 And these slutty outfits were kinda disturbing, I wanna know if real school would actually approve this :> Also, what the hell, the programmer guy, Takeya, put a lot of work into this shit, and you won't even mention him? That's just rude :| |
  |
| Ehh... poor Touma. I think the protagonist likes her, but he couldnt refuse to kiss Setsuna T_T |

| This episode was so good I am actually bummed that we could not hear their original song...I wish they had included that too...that kiss was very much unexpected |
 |
| Damn I wanted to hear the op on the stage, so the first kiss goes to Ogiso. |
Omg Haruki just impregnate them both already, they want it so bad. Good thing he manned up and kissed Setsuna instead of wimping out. Time for the catfighting and melodrama now I guess. Harem ending would be ideal here.  |
 |
| so it begins... I guess |
im just here to comment on dmjii cameo |
Looking back at it, maybe White Album 2 was either 1. the near future of the world that the Symphogear girls were able to protect OR 2. an alternate universe where the likes of Relics, Annunaki, and Divine Power never became prevalent. |
 |
| What I understood is that Haruki after concert on that chair talking to Touma he was talking about flower Touma and friend Setsuna. He was interested in Touma from the start even before knowing she is the piano prodigy. I did not expect Setsuna to be so bold ;o I think that as Haruki is very strong character and it was Setsuna taking advantage of situation not the first time, then in the end he will choose Touma (for the plot twist) as it is not over yet! I thought he won't be going out with any of them but here it is... maybe it is better that way. It is a little unfair and sad that they both love him and only one can be with him :( I am happy that the concert was not the end of the anime as it was pointed out in the first episode :) I am worried about what Setsuna said that she can't afford to wait... her parents are very strict about what she does... I do start to wonder if she isn't sick on something that cannot be cured? |

| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| why are the girl dressed like that but not the boy lol |

John_Smith_MAL said: So it started from here, all of my negative for this show. ; The ending part of this episode is truly bullshit, That kiss does not make any sense at all; like what the fuck????? We were told that week ago, he did not even know who Setsuna is. And the show always constantly, simultaneously depicts Setsuna relations and her position in these relations between her and her friends, Touma and Haruki. Even my 1000 years old grand grandfather from the planet Saturn realizes that Setsuna is the late third wheel in this relation. The show makes it so abundantly crystal clear from the fucking beginning of the show. And now you tell me that this was a lie, It is my fault for misunderstanding this relation??????? Even 3 years old kid won't buy that. It just a super awkward plot twist that ruins all the goods this show has done to me. It is cringy, It is disgustingly cheap writing, It is pure bullshit. . I thought this is the better of Your lies in April But it was a lie, This shit is Domestic girlfriend x School days in disguise for the entire time. This is like the same level of Darling in the Franxx 's bullshitness. . I have lost all my positive impressions of Haruki, moreover changing Setsuna's character from pure good to annoying idiot. I know the show wants to change its tone but the cohesion and shifting are just so bad that everything after it has no value at all. . Why you did this to me, god I want to cry. I want to love this show by all means but I can't accept it. This show failed me, I am really distressed at this point honestly. . Nonetheless, the last episode broke me like a train , I am dying. 8/10 I'd argue that if the show affected you so deeply, it did its job both remarkably well and exactly as intended. You're not supposed to be happy after watching this, you're supposed to have a crater in your chest. There's a reason most people will recommend you have something pointlessly and mundanely cheerful ready for you to watch once you reach "White Album 2 Depression"... All 3 main characters are deeply flawed, and yet not unrelatable. The anime is based on a VN by Leaf, and only its first ("Introductory Chapter") of three chapters. Understandably, not everyone who watches anime would enjoy that experience. I'll cover this next part with a spoiler, and just say that if if you'd like to "heal" your impression of the story a bit, the follow-up chapter ("Closing Chapter") is a step in the right direction for that. There's also a project, Todokanai TL, that is translating the entire VN from Japanese to English; currently the IC and CC are translated - though CC has some big flaws in its translation - and according to their Discord server they're releasing a big update this summer with a faithful rework of CC and (at long last) a full translation of Coda, the final chapter. http://todokanaitl.github.io |
| And they didn't show them singing the original song. I hate it when they hype something and then don't show it in the end. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| lol i loved how the dense boy was like a little kid "and we could enhance the power of friendship! and then have more friendship fun! and zapt we 3 could..." and finally Setsuna: "CUT OFF THE BULLSHIT AND DO ME NOW!" |
 |
| Setsuna knew Haruki couldn't reject her, she knew he would just accept everything, as Haruki felt responsible for her, especially because he was the one who actively sought her out since the very beginning, made her join the club and shared his dreams and goals with her; Setsuna fell in love with him, but also didn't want to be left out because she knew since the beginning the true love of Haruki was actually Kazusa and she wanted something genuine for her as wel, something like Kazusa and Haruki have, so she trapped him, and he fell for it. I can't blame Setsuna though, she's an incredible character, just like a real person. Their promise and this kiss sealed their destiny, the three of them will be bond to each other by nothing but pain and suffering. This is such a difficult situation for Haruki too, he loves Kazusa, he worships and admires her, but he's very careful about it because he thinks she doesn't feel the same way, and at the same time Kazusa thinks Haruki loves Setsuna and fears being rejected, but the thing is he also loves Setsuna, but much more like a father or a brother would, he cares for her and wants to protect her and make her happy, so how could he reject her? |
  Grant me one hour on love's most sacred shores To clasp the bosom that my soul adores, Lie heart to heart and merge my soul with yours |
