| I feel as if the "death flags" are just a way to build up tension and intensity to this show, rather than actually foreshadowing her to die. It's most likely a red herring. #calledit |
| It was a pretty slow episode but that firefly scene at the end made up for it. Loved the insert song and when Kousei said, "I had you". For a second there I thought he was going to fully confess to her. And the death flag is everywhere. |
 |
| I'm glad we are getting off from Kousei's backstory now. It was just too melodramatic for my tastes. Good episode. Kousei's mother's friend (godmother?) is really cool, and her kid is so kawaii! This show has a way of pulling off some otherwise incredibly melodramatic and cheesy moments and making them heartwarming or heartstring-pulling, depending on the context. Great final scene. mayukachan said: I feel as if the "death flags" are just a way to build up tension and intensity to this show, rather than actually foreshadowing her to die.

| That insert song in the end reminded me a bit of Clannad Afterstory. It sounds similar to one of it's songs. |

| I've watched DBZ three times. I know what you mean. |
| This anime is just beyond beautiful and love Hiroko-san.Glad she gonna be Kousei piano teacher and more death flag for Kaori in this episode.So far nearly perfect adaptation of the manga. |

BestPrediction2k14 LOL that would be interesting but unfortunately it will not be like that way, Kousei will once again going under a mental breakdown after the main issue of Kaori's illness get revealed. I just can't imagine if she really dies, If she does ... It would be all the same like what happened on his Mother. |

| Hiroko Seto is so flipping pretty. Like I was kinda awe struck when she was first shown. In any case, beautiful episode. Got some goosebumps after some of those dialogues. Love it. |

Yups, but well let's see how the anime goes :) |
|
| Kousei pretty much confessed and then death flags... death flags everywhere!!! |
| Kind of felt bad for Takeshi this episode. He saw Kousei as his hero his entire life and now he was crushed with a new reality. The tone of that firefly scene changed so fast. Literally from the dramatic and romantic "what did your heart lean on?" "I had you"...to death flag. Instead of being happy, her internal response was literally, you know...I'm going to be dead within the next 11 episodes leaving you with nothing again. Hospital visit. Stage collapse. Kousei always commenting on how fragile she looks. Tons of pills in the bathroom. Near death from climbing stairs. Firefly light going out/internal monologue..................RIP Kaori. Inb4 feels. |
| Was waiting for the fireflies scene and it was so pretty. ♥ :') |
| Was that another death flag they just threw at us? |
| Do you guys have nothing to comment on other than the death flags? |
| This episode presents the basis of what is coming to them. The new teacher of Kousei was an old friend of his mother, interesting. Now I'm curious to know if Kaori really has any serious illness or something like that. Well damn, let's wait till next year then. |
 |
| So that new character know Kousei mom and is going to be a instructor to him, wish will not be the same like his mom. The ending of this episode is telling me something bad is going happen to Kaori. |
 |
| Another sweet and great episode. Hiroko is a very interesting character. Takeshi saw Arima as a hero back when they were younger. On to the next performance and Kaori and Kousei doing one at a special event. Cannot wait for that. That scene with the fireflies was beautiful. I am getting worried when Kaori said she was not always going to be around to help at the end. As always looking forward to the next episode. |

| That last scene with Kaori quoting "Peanuts" is actually kind of funny out of context. Hopefully she will pass away soon so that this anime won't continue to chug along at a snail's pace. That whole "hero" spiel elevated the height of this show's pretentiousness above that of "Ping Pong The Animation", which I'm just impressed by at this point. |

It's too bad, because the majority of the criticisms are the same shit from the previous few weeks. And the other guy who keeps on hating on it won't even admit why he hates it, haha. I wish there was more discussion on the actual classical rather than the anime. Or maybe someone could give a story about their own piano concour experiences. |
surfboard_ said: Ping Pong pretentious? You better explain yourself! I loved the show for everything it stood for as well as how it was overall presented, but Masaaki Yuasa is probably the most pretentious anime director out there in terms of how he chooses to emphasize symbols and frame the shots. Of course, that doesn't at all stop me from enjoying his work. |

mayukachan said: I wish there was more discussion on the actual classical rather than the anime. I'll probably criticize it later but I wish they wouldn't throw more Chopin. They'll also including Tchaikovsky, Debussy and Ravel. Does Japan neglect baroque-period music or they just think it doesn't have potential to attract the audience? |
| Decent episode. Too much judging from the crowd. It annoys me a bit. They should just appreciate the performance. Was that a flat out confession I just saw? It looked like it was. That phrase, "I had you" was perfect for the mood. Kaori answered silently. More death flags I suppose? |

What is in Ping Pong that makes it pretencious? Is it inauthentic? Pedantic? |

He also saw competitors' happiness of advancing and sadness of not advancing. So he has played all night until fallen asleep. To the next step. Wow @ that nice moment at night with fireflies. Though what violinist girl said at the end... bad flag? Next ep. will be aired next January (2nd cour starts with new OP & ED!). aw but i love the first opening. hope the second is going to be better |
| Man this anime is getting better and better with each ep for me. The music was beautiful as usual, especially in the scene with the fireflies. |
 |
| So Kaori's parents work on a cake shop. At least now he has his mind clear, and knows what to do. |
| does anyone in here know the title of that song inserted at the end part? it's really good and relaxing. thanks in advance :) |
| why am i so well drawn into time travel stories? do i really have that many regrets? |

|
| I LOVED this episode so much. Hirako-san is likeable already, which is fantastic. The final minute or two of the Anime was beautiful to say the least. I had chills. This Anime just keeps on getting better and better. But I'm still worried about Kaori's health though. |
 |
| My ideal ending: Kousei x Kaori > Tsubaki will suicide because she got heartbroken > Kaori will die of sickness > Kousei will suicide because Kaori died. |

| lol that obvious death flag near the end |
