| I really enjoyed this episode. The feels and the performance was amazing...and the dialogue was just....perfect. I llicited to me all the feelings...of being in a recital..in an old theater...at watching a captivating performance that gives you performance..and most importantly the moment when you first lay eyes on a girl and determine she's absolutely beautiful. I love the metaphor of bringing color to life....everything about this anime evokes out my memories and feelings of the past..of feelings things and living and experience things. I hope this trend continues. Absolutely can't wait till the next episode. I personally felt her performance was exactly characteristic of Beethoven with the huge contrast and strong powerful emotions. As this episode winded down at the end, I googled the song to find another live performance just to confirm my interpretation of her performance was as characteristic of Beethoven as I thought. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_e_aPeeBMo I also get the feeling that Tsubaki loves Kousei. Just the way she could understand him and so was tuned in to him at the concert was really singular in focus and filled with the kind of empathy that makes me thing this is gonna be a love triangle as well. Kaori is definitely enchanting~ dunno what is about blondes in anime...lol xD |
| The animation is beautiful. It's making me fall more and more in love with it. I'm actually feeling nervous about the dating situation going on. I want Kousei to get with Kaori, but I don't know/think she will feel that way about him. Plus there is the friendship between Kousei and Ryouta. But I think he may be willing to put that into jeopardy to be with her. |
  |
| That was a beautiful performance in both animation and sound departments. On closer examination, the art isn't exactly exceptional as I had initially thought but I think the bright colour palette they decided to use more than makes up for that and there is quite a degree of attention to detail. Even at this point you can start to draw the lines between what are going to be a load of one way love, but I am looking forward to seeing the two perform together maybe sometime not too far in the future! |
 |
| Really reallly like this anime so far ! So many good anime this season I wish I had more time... Really loved her performance ! |
| I was in ambivalence over this series since it's only the early episodes but much like the main character in this episode, I don't want to see it at first (because it might suck sooner or later) and the feeling...uhmm yearning to see more of this (because of the uncertainty of their fate at the end of it all.) Anime gods help me, I'm turning into a tsundere! @_@ It's not that I like it or anything... I just wanted to see it! LOL |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| What did Kousei mean by "It's like what my mother left me scatters away" @ 18:55 and "You exist inside spring" @ 19:38? |
| Next episode please. I hate myself for picking this series too early -___- |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| honestly, I love this show very much. However, after reading the manga until chapter 17, I realized that I'm going to put this anime on-hold and I'll continue after episode 14 or maybe more. Anyway, it's an interesting story, but I'm gonna continue later. |
 |
| that was fantastic |
| Great episode, the animation is just too beautiful. Looking forward the drama~ |

First one he was talking about how his mum always put the importance of winning first but as you saw this episode, Kaori not giving a stuff about that and playing just because she enjoys it blows away those principles his mother taught him. Second one, err I don't think there was any deeper meaning in there, he basically said Kaori appeared in spring, since it's set during spring right? Well April's right there in the title. |
|
| Okey, so this one is going to be anime of the season (maybe even of the year) Emotions is really strong here. Reasonable and interesting characters, good themes and ideas. That's my thing. ^^ |
| This week's episode was too great, And we have 20 episodes more to go ! I really have a high expectation of this series since it reminds of Nodame Cantabile's feeling, the performance of was great despite she knew her violin playing was off to the original song. She wasn't looking for winner tittle, she was spreading her love of music through her performance. Honestly i could see which pairing will be up on the scenes towards the end of the episode, damn can't wait for another eargasm :D |
 |
| She owned the stage, amazing performance! Loved the animation, too. |
 |
| Love this anime, Amazing Episode. |
 |
| Is it too early to give this anime a 10? |
 |
| Let's enjoy while the setting is light. When the feels finally hit, I don't think anyone will be safe. |
 |
| Very good episode. The girl's performance was amazing and I'm just in love with this amine. Great story and the animation is just beautiful. |
 |
| YES. This show fills my Gin no Saji, Chihayafuru, Nodame Cantabile and Sakamichi no Apollon void all together! I liked that in the middle school competition, you can hear that they're middle schoolers. Like, they purposely made the violins not completely in tune and very imperfect. I also like how the main guy was cheering on the player. The animation is so amazing when she plays the violin! Omg, this is like Nodame but with a higher budget (obviously because it's newer) One thing I didn't like was the random comedic moments. Kind of out of place in this show, because it tries for drama/serious more? Also, the cheesy dialogue about love and whatever doesn't really suit a second episode. And the way they ended this episode was...odd? Otherwise, I absolutely loved this episode and it held onto episode 1's quality. This is by far the most consistently good show this season out of the 27 I'm following. |
FueledbyKass said: Same here, just glanced at the title, and only decided to pick it up after it started airing. Now, as far as my first impressions of the season goes, it's right up there in the top 5. I'm really liking this anime. I wasn't even waiting for it to air, and now I can't wait until the next episode. I really loved Kaori's performance part, really nice to get the whole thing. It almost got me clapping at the end. There's absolutely nothing right now that's decreasing my hype. Love it. |
| OMG I can NOT wait for them to play music together. Going to be so chilling. Totally getting Sakamichi no Apollon vibes. I wish we could get another jazz anime, but this will definitely work for now. |

Garudan said: Totally getting Sakamichi no Apollon vibes. I wish we could get another jazz anime, but this will definitely work for now. I know right. I'd kill for another one, maybe even longer than Sakamichi no Apollon and not just about a pianist. >_< |
| Another love comedy. But really well done. My only worry is that 22 episodes is too long, and it will fall flat with 2-3 love twists and end up with something lame. |
| Impressive performance in the second episode. <3 hope this keeps up. 5/5 |
Was there something wrong with Kao-chan's hand? It seems kinda shaky from this part... |

That moment was as same as Arima's hand shaking, he knew something had happened on her so Arima gave him a slight soft compliment Even though it doesn't seem like it, she is actually quite self-conscious and insecure, despite her personality. Arima did give her a compliment, so she could feel a bit better for herself. She herself knows about Arima and how he used to play, as he was a "celebrity" in the classical music world. Her playing is also different from others, so people would judge her differently. |

| Man, the author just outright copied Nodame and changed the setting to middle school. So here we have another girl so uberly talented yet playing haphazardly and in her own style while the male MC is also supremely talented yet has a childhood trauma that hold back his progress. That being said I'm just glad there's another anime like this even if it's just a copy and the production value is also really high. How I wish Nodame was made in this Blu Ray era and with this kind of budget (although all of Nodame's budget may have gone to the orchestra) |

| It was an okay episode, thinking of just marathoning in one go after it airs b4 i lose interest. |

How I wish Nodame was made in this Blu Ray era and with this kind of budget (although all of Nodame's budget may have gone to the orchestra) True. And maybe I wouldn't call it a ripoff yet...The main characters are still a bit different. I think Kaori will be less of an airhead compared to Nodame (not that Nodame is bad or anything ofc) while Kousei is less of a tyrant compared to Chiaki and more "emo"ish lol |
| Hmm I kinda like it so far. Looking forward to hearing more music! Only thing is that the humor seems too forced. Also the romance seems like it's gonna be one of those "sad boy falls in love with manic pixie dream girl" type deals. But they did drop some hints regarding Kaori's character beyond her just being the passionate, bubbly love interest who doesn't follow the rules and is the opposite of the protagonist. Her complex is that she needs affirmation for her performances, perhaps. (Her hand was trembling after Kousei initially gave a lukewarm response to her question.) So she's not as confident as she looks. I guess her and Kousei will grow together and balance each other out. |
| Getting major Nodame Cantabile vibes, along with a liberal helping of Honey and Clover. Not that that's a bad thing, if you're going to take inspiration from shows about the arts and romance, might as well take from the best. Seriously though, I'm pleasantly surprised by this one. I was bit wary due to the series composer being Yoshioka Takao -- aka the guy who's behind a fuckton of ecchi -- but he's proven that he can do other shit before, and I guess this is further proof. Very high quality stuff here. Though I guess the manga its based on is still running? Can anyone say how close it is to finishing? Are we going to get yet another unfinished anime series? I certainly hope not -- there's nothing worse than an unfinished romance. |

I guess all we gotta' do now is sit back and enjoy the show -- it's sure to be a good one! |

| The performance was awesome, I hope the music in this gets as much focus as it did in Nodame Cantabile. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| loved the episode, cant even get enough of that opening |
| Hate Keeps me warm |
| God damn that Violin scene was great. Glad I've picked this up, it's quite good so far. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Those implications... I think she actually loves Kousei and is just acting. |
