| Holy shit that song was amazing, lots of emotions were definitely there. Still kinda seems like an asspull that he could just magically put out a full song after barely even being able to come up with any lyrics beforehand. Flashbacks as well were greatly placed, rare that I actually see ones that don't just hog up the time in the "present" "are you willing to die for me" welp looks like he took it too literally also, a BL kiss that didn't have rapey vibes to it top kek Almost forgot, props to Shougo Yano, really did an amazing job this episode |

| mafuyu's singing was absolutely beautiful :') this was such a great episode post-credits scene too y'all make sure you don't miss it |

| I have no words, this episode was perfect and as a manga reader to hear that song for the first time brought tears to my eyes it was just amazing and that kiss was the sugar on the top. Still Yuki was so sweet when he was with Mafuyu, its so sad what happened to him, but now Mafuyu can move forward a bit at a time and be happy with Ritsuka. |
| damn when Mafuyu started singing i got goosebumps but even more than that when he screamed out "AHHH" during that song the amount of chills i felt jesus |
| This episode was so emotional, made me scream and cry. And really feels like Mafuyu can move on |
 |
| Those were the fastest 20 minutes of my life. When the 17th minute came and they rolled the credits i was like "Wut is that it?!" but then i saw theres few more minutes of it which made me feel beyond happy. The song was amazing. I loved it so much that i'll be looping it through the whole night. |

| Very good episode. Too bad I can't give a fuck about Mafuyu though x) |
| Oh damm! This episode was just......ugh! I can't believe I cried towards the end of the song, really unexpected for me. Only 2 more episodes to go unfortunately and I can't wait to see what happens with Mafuyu and Ritsuka |
| Now that was a GREAT episode, the song was beautiful and that kiss |
| That episode was just stunning. Mafuyu's voice is so beautiful and his lyrics touch your heart because you know he's singing straight from his. The song really said everything he's feeling and felt in the past and it was so lovely. I'm also mega satisfied that Uecchi kissed and that Mafuyu has realised he's in love with Uecchi. The only thing for him now is learning that it's okay for him to love someone else besides Yuki |

Is the moment I've waited for the past few weeks, and it was everything I wanted to hear and more, the song in the manga fucking hit me but actually hearing it is something else entirely, I had goosebumps, I teared up a lil and then the kinda vocal screamy sorta thing mafuyu did at the end God damn I loved it and then, the kiss, the kiss that I feel every yaoi/BL fan of this show has been waiting for and it happened. I also appreciate the song they played in the background after everything (the instrumental song Uenoma,(did I mispell that? Probably 😅, went on to play) was the song they used in the PV, the PV that originally got me hooked on this idea and it was a nice lil reference I guess? I can not wait till the song goes on the Given Spotify (it's already on the Japanese one but not here yet) oh and I love that the piano in the post credits scene is to the tune that Mafuyu was humming also one thing I didn't like that they censored like my favourite line from that flashback, Yuki goes "alright let's fuck in the bathtub when we get home" I remember dying of laughter when they abruptly said that, either way I fucking loved this so much and I can't wait for more he did say that, "Lets have sex in the bathroom when we get back" it could just be case of different translators using different wordings for the manga/anime |

| Wow, this is my first time watching BL, and I'm absolutely floored. To think Mafuyu's song just completely ripped the strings across my chest in such a way that made me cry real tears. Believe me when I say... I FELT Mafuyu's pain. Every ounce of it. I don't care if it's fictional, I don't care if it's a drawing moving, I don't care that it's through a screen. I FELT that hurt. I could hear it in his voice, I could see it on his face, I could read it in his lyrics and I could understand it in his thoughts. That love Mafuyu had for Yuki, those moments they shared, the words they exchanged, the scent he remembered, the places he'll never forget and the feelings he kept for him, I. FELT. IT. ALL. It was so raw, so real, so vulnerable and extremely relatable. I'm still feeling emotional over how beautiful their love was, but also how it destroyed Mafuyu's heart and mind. The flashbacks were sufficient, Mafuyu's words were heart-breaking and the direction of the scene made a coherent story that inflicted massive damage to my emotions. I was glued to everything in that scene, I was so into it that I didn't even realize the pain I felt within myself listening to him. It was such a masterpiece, I was left a crying mess. To hear Mafuyu say he can't even cry, and that he just wants to scream to relieve his suffering instantly hooked me into the scene and provoked my emotions. The power in which I could feel Mafuyu's suffering has utterly floored me and convinced me this show has the most REAL depiction of love I've ever seen. The author of this series CLEARLY knows writing and understands love on a higher level than most writers. That kiss from Uenoyama, it was so well-done and didn't feel wrong or forced or overwhelming or anything, it was so natural and passionate. Their relationship is going to be SUCH a pleasure to watch, I'm already crying on the inside thinking about its beauty. I NEED a moment. Brilliant story-telling, directing, composing and character development this episode. Need to emotionally prepare myself for next week's episode. |

| I don't think I'll ever recover from the emotions felt during this episode |
 |
| I’ve seen quite a few musical performances in anime, but that one is easily the best I have seen. Everything about the build-up was perfect too. This episode also solidified the show as an AOTS contender for me. |

| OMH This was so awesome!! The feelings! The flashbacks! And the sister worried about Uenoyama |

| that song ... hit hard |
| I teared up, that episode was just beautiful. |
 |
| Good song, guess we'll never know what went down with the lyrics. Also that Uecchi attack, lmao. |
 |
| The song really shook my heart, almost cried tbh. The way they are presenting this anime is so good! I really love it. Mafuyu just fjlksfjsdlkj I can't wait to buy this whole dang soundtrack tbh. |
| Banger of a song, wow. As someone who listens to A LOT of music, including this genre, this was very catchy and professional sounding. Mafuyu's last monologue felt like a fantastic movie ending to me. |
| I completely didn't expect that from Mafuyu's song, but I'm definitely not disappointed. One of the best songs I've ever heard. The emotions were so raw and real, it made me tear up a bit. Also, I've seen some comments about Mafuyu coming up with the lyrics on the spot, but I think another way we can see it is that Mafuyu always had the lyrics, he just didn't know how to express it or how he should sing it. Honestly, I would find it more unlikely for Mafuyu to have so much time to spend on the lyrics and come up with literally nothing. |
| A really great song containing so many feelings which needed to be expressed/released. This episode was really perfect, I watched the song part several times, focusing once on the lyrics, then on the song itself (yeah by not speaking Japanese, it's hard to listen to a Jap' song AND to focus on the lyrics). I just hope the next episodes won't turn into a too much drama/romance show, I'd like the music thema to remain. |
 |
| My Heart is burning dang this ep was beautiful. I cried alot |
Stay cool : )  |
| My eyes are swollen cuz I've been crying the whole episode, nice. |
| When I ended watching last episode I obviously knew that in the next episode Mafuyu will sing the song, but I wasn't expected THAT, an hour has passed and I still in shock, for now this is the best episode and I don't thing the next episodes will surpass this one. |
| Mafuyu's song had it all coming down. Gave me the chills. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Holy shit, that song was powerful and their performance was amazing. Mafuyu was able to express himself for the first time and I'm very happy for him. I'm not into Bromance stories, but I can't get enough of this series. If Dr. Stone and Fire Force did not exist, I would put Given in as anime of the season. |
 |
| Bitch, this made me cry. I already knew about the kiss, but the "I have a new person I'm in love with" caught me completely off guard and I let out a scream. The show--- The show was simply AMAZING. The song lyrics, the melody, everything was perfect. |
