| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- What a good episode! Enjoyed every second of it :') |
| Wow, what a performance. "My Favorite Things" (R.I.P Coltrane) into "Someday My Prince Will Come" into "Moanin'" was transcendentally amazing. Here it is in all its glory: I completely forgive Sakamichi no Apollon for the slight misstep of episode 6. |
| Stunned silence as I was watching the music scene. I'd expect those two to get quite a few confessions after that performance |
| Outstanding episode. Discord. Heartbreak. Development. Reconcile. Performance. All well executed. I wonder what will come next. There are romances of course. What about the broken Jun? The only thing that disturb me was that they were running away hand-in-hand. |
 |
| Oh, wow. That was a beautiful episode. |
| Because of this show I've developed a taste for jazz. |
 |
| That was a terrific episode and probably my favorite so far! The performance was executed masterfully. |
 |
| Beautiful ep. with an amazing performance! |
| Awesome episode, everything was done correctly. 5/5 |
| Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sugoi!!!!!!! AMAZING AMAZING WOW WOW performance that was!!! I was bouncing in my chair the whole time those two got back arguing and conversing through music!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!! I feel so excited!!! =D haha! He received his first mail! ^_^ Sen's back with Bo! Lol.. And they showed them!! Haha!!! Out you go you Rock you! Really, that gay guy is annoying! I'm glad he's been laid to rest. =D Lol, they ran off! =D Hmm.. so, what the hell happened to Jun? What's the coincidence he saw with Yurika? Similarity between his lost ex kinda thing? (Lol, Jun with long hair reminds me of Ryusuke from Beck.) Sen finally understood his rejection. I'm mad at Yurika for not saying it sooner (then again, Sen's dense for not figuring it out sooner), and she was even about to give in to the kiss, but at least she didn't turn out to be a deliberate manipulative bitch like we were thinking. She's just impulsive and afraid to hurt, which ends up causing more hurt. Bah. Well, Richie's done a good job of his responsibility at the school fest. :) I hope Ri'ko starts falling for him. :) Gonna be damn hard, but... hey, I can hope. :P Amazing ep. That smooth triple performance lingers in my head. Oh yeah!! =D Listening to it again and again! ^o^ I totally loved the animation where people ran in to call others and ran out. That was hawt! |

| Fantastic! Absolutely beautiful from start to finish! The performance was outstanding! 5/5 |
| That was one of the best musical performance scenes I've ever seen in anime. Amazing episode. |

| The conflict between Kaoru and Sentarou got settled with the subject that connects them, Jazz, with a better solution than any spoken conversations could have accomplished and their outstanding performance served as a wonderful climax to this episode. |
 |
| One thing bothers me. Sentaro is left-handed but as I know it was must thing in Japan till 1986 to reteach all left-handed children too right-handed. |
 |
| I was extremely glad they didn't draw out that nonsense with the annoying kid from the band, which made a great episode even greater. The confrontation between Sentaro and Yun also ended that subplot getting unnecessarily dragged out, so overall the show is doing an excellent job of avoiding the big pitfalls. |
| Ara ara. |
| Possibly the episode up until now really the time stood as they played together. |
| THAT GORGEOUS PERFORMANCE UGH this anime can't get any better :'3333 |
| I would watch a episode of them just playing Jazz, amazing episode! Glad things are settled down between Sen and Kaoru, Jun still worries me, though. |
| HOT DAMN. that was flyyy. What an incredible episode. That duo is so awesome :) ...so did Yurika get with Jun? |
  |
| THIS EPISODE TORE AT MY EMOTIONS SO MUCH OH MOTHER OF GOD The ending...THE ENDING...*sobs in a corner* That was just..this anime is really a masterpiece ;___; |
 |
| That went by in an instant. Such a beautiful episode and I can't say how wonderful that jazz performance was. Really, tears were in my eyes. I just love improvisation. It's so marvelous how it just comes to the people who play without fear. I love improvising on my piano, but I feel fearful for some reason that I'm gonna hit the wrong chord, or play the wrong scale. Thus, it's never as passionate as this. I can't wait till I can become like Kaoru and Sentarou in that. Besides that though, Jun was so mean. I wanted to punch him so hard and I was happy that Sentarou did. It's depressing though in how their friendship is falling apart. Jun honestly doesn't give a crap about Yurika and seemingly enjoys mocking Sentarou's unrequited love. Of course though, we don't know what happened to the wonderful Jun we had before. Haha, I feel bad for Yurika though, after the song that he sang, I would've fell for him instantly too :') Btw, I'm still all for Sentarou x Ri'ko. However, it seems like we're moving towards Kaoru x Ri-chan because of "My Favorite Things" (which was extremely beautiful) and those girls talking. I wouldn't mind it, but I find Kaoru's love to be very childish and forcing him to move on would give him better characterization. Ri'ko's love, on the other hand, is very friendship and childhood based which, imo, is much more endearing than Sentarou's and Kaoru's. Of course, that's just from the perspective of the romantic person I am XD 5/5 - Music in this episode was unbelievable. I'm literally searching right now for some sheet music of a jazz arrangement of My Favorite Things. So looking forward to more development between Jun, Sentarou, and Yurika<3 |

| I LOVED that end, I didn't want them to stop playing. And then when Sentaro takes Kaoru while running... Great episode, needs more bro moments and less drama episodes like this one. |
 |
| Wow. The second half of this episode was excellent! The music makes me so happy :D |
| Episode was full of pure epic. That music performance at the end was amazing. |
 |
| Well, that was awesome. Bromance much now after making up in one of best ways i've ever seen. What's with Jun? Early middle life crisis? |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
Wow, just wow. The ending was just perfect. This show is a masterpiece. I'm glad they all are friends again. Can't wait for next episode. |
|
| I hate that kid with the fang so much. |
   |
| The last scenes in this episode were amazing. The friendship and Jazz is why I enjoy this anime, and the second half just revived my enthusiasm for this anime. I'm glad this rock detour is over, but I'm not too excited about it returning to the relationship problems. I hope that gets resolved soon as well. |

| It was not only the best episode in series, but one of best episodes in my whole history of watching anime. |
| Now that's very skilled piano and drum playing, I like it. |
 |
| OMFG! THE BEST, THIS JUST HELPED IN MY THINKING THAT IT'S THE BEST OF THE SEASON! |
| Holy shit, this Jazz is just too damn good! |
| there were some scenes missing from the manga as usual but everything would be hard to fit in 12 episodes so it's understood xnx ...but THE PERFORMANCE WAS PERFECT AND MADE UP FOR EVERYTHINGDKSL:DSFKDL:KDFSL:KDFSL:DKFSOPFKEL:"FKL:F"DKOPGFD |
ad stellas super alas angeli. |
| What a roller coaster of an episode but it was great getting soo much better every ep. -START- Richie seems to be still upset. After his lil talk about how him and v arent dating to the girls(even though he wishes) the girls finally saw him as approachable woohoo his getting attention now. Poor Sentaro, its sux when u have no idea why ur friends is mad at you. Love Sentaro little practice with his drums. :O Sentaro almost kissed Yurika. But im glad it didnt happen you shouldnt waste ur first kiss to a girl who doesnt really love u yet still plays around with you. I just dont like Yurika i mean yeah she may be confuse about her feelings but for the love of god dont make Sentaro suffer. wow Sentaro gave a great sucker punch at Jun. What the hell happen to Jun he looks like a dum. Lol awkward moments arent they the funniest lol. Uuuuhhhh so Sentaro is Left handed. Festival time The Olympus performance was nice put very short lived. Love the outfits!! I give Yurika credit for admiting what she has done to Sentaro. "I give in to loneliness and betray him in the worst way" Aww just always love how Sentaro stick up for the lil guy. Im soo glad Richie heard what Sentaro said now he knows why Sentaro did help the band and that yeah he had no intentions of living Richie alone. AWWWW "Important Partner" Finally the real performance Sentaro and Richie playing together again, SOOO HAPPY!!!! love the movements of the students going to see the guys play. Great animation. AMAZING!!! 10 out of 10! Wow!!! what an Exit. How beautiful their friendship is  Moral of the story     -END- |

| OHH MY GOD THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!! *O* THEY WERE SOO COOL! I FELL INLOVE *O* AND YAY! NO MORE FIGHTNING! ;~; <3 It broke by heart by all the tension that was going on.. I love seeing everyone smile :) |
| The people running to hear them play reminded me of Beck except the music was better here. Nicely done. |
| Amazing episode. Glad Sen and Richie are friends again. Their performance was really great that after they played, I cant stop myself from clapping. Really great.. I hope they will make this anime more than 12 episodes... |
| OMG! I don't know what it is about this anime maybe the music, the movements,the character's personalities,but when ever I watch an episode I walk around with a crazy grin! I loooved the music scene and that was probably the best sounding makeup iv'e ever heard!!! I still wish sen and Kaoru would just kiss tho (forgive my fujoshiness >.<) |
     |
| That performance gave me chills, I totally loved it. It was just awesome I don't have any more words, music is magical! |
 |
| I can't stop loving every single one of the songs they've played up till now. I'm not sure if loving Jazz is making me love the show, or the show is so good it's making me love its Jazz even more. Ah I don't even know what I'm saying. Fucking awesome. My eyes actually got wet while they were playing. |
 |
| Great to see the jazz make an epic comeback. :D We even got a bit of rock in the mix. ^-^ Was interesting to see Sentarou practice rock drumming, but of course he will always be his best with jazz. This definitely makes up for the strange breakup in ep. 6. And the animation of the students telling others to see the performance... some of the most fluently-animated movements I've ever seen in anime. |
