maybe some ppl who dislike this show is because the male character is not really have strong impact till eps 6...

especially Wien...Im really surprised coz in some anime where the male character is a transfer student, usually he will become quite important and popular, but it seems that Wien is just joking around, and even didnt talk deeply to one of main heroine till eps 6

that's why the show is quite boring except the song ^^

I agree that Wien didn't have any big role lately, since the story is trying to resolve Wakana's problem first. I'm pretty sure that later on the story will be focusing on him though, as we don't know anything about his background, such as why he loves the superheroes, and I'm still waiting for the debut of his sibling (that the writer teased us on the pre-op of one of the episode.)

Nope, you're not heartless. I think if you're not really interest to see how Wakana would resolve her matter, or if you already made a judgement on her that she's a bitch by being with her mother like that, this episode would means nothing to you. (I'm not saying that you thought that way - but just in case.)

I think this EP fulfilled my questions about Wakana and everything around her, such as (1) why she hated her mother, (2) why she wanted to throw everything away, (3) if she will get her piano and her dolphin back, (4) Dora, (5) Are she going to start singing again. So, that's why I liked this episode, and I feel like this is the end of the arc.

Now, I'm still wondering what will be for the next arc, but my money is on Wien and/or Sawa. We saw a glimpse of Sawa about her archery on the horseback in the preview (and yes, she was talking about she wanted to fire and arrow while on a horse!) For Wien, as I said, I want to know more about his background and his sibling. I feel like in this anime each character would have their own problem that waiting to be revealed ... (But heck, I'm not sure about Konatsu if she'd have any problem ...)

Tanaka and Wien's secret training was too good. Another pleasing episode. I'm glad that I finally got to hear all of them sing although I'm a little disappointed in the song choice. It sounds like a church hymnal type song. I wanted them to sing something else more upbeat and catchy.

I love this show so much.

Great to see Wakana coming to terms with her past, practice will be a lot more interesting with her, also expecting some recital by the end of series.
I could see some more Wien and Badminton-kun, these kinds of shows usually have males play minor roles but here those two are main characters, even sing along with girls. I really like that fact, thought guys get less screentime than girls, this works well.

this episode was so amazing. surely i'm not the only one who teared up a bit? there was so much emotionally growth and i'm so glad wakana is finally coming to understand what her mother did for her and she's slowly starting to come out of her shell as well. this episode was incredibly satisfying. c:

Not all woman are able to breastfeed. Sometimes there are problems with milk production. You also don't know that it wasn't breast milk in the bottle!

She will also probably be returning to work fairly soon, so she will either have to pump or transition to formula.

Oh... You probably just wanted to see her breasts... never mind...

I am betting that the next arc is Sawa driven. We've had a bit of Taichi mixed in with the Konatsu and Wakana. It makes sense that Sawa comes next, probably with more Taichi, given the romantic interests involved there. Then we will probably get a bigger introduction into the issues Wien is dealing with and his romantic entanglements will be dealt with. :)

I don't think that it is fair to say that Wakana ever hated her mother! She was frustrated by her mother's lack of seriousness about life then, after she died, angry at the world because she had never been told about the illness. But I wouldn't say she hated her or even disliked her.

In other words, they have a pathetic existence that leads to deriving pleasure from denigrating shows they really don't care about and pissing people off. Yep, sounds like the cream of the human crop!

During the ED they showed a montage of the club doing things together like surfing (and playing with badminton racquets in the water...), horseback riding, riding on a train together, etc... The impression I got was that it was showing how their life is moving on for the next month or two, possibly into early winter, as they were wearing scarves on the train. It is possible we will see a time jump to winter break, but probably just to Sawa's mounted archery competition.

Yeah, Sawa and Taichi would make the most sense. Still, people are so interested in knowing more about Wien, so I think it'd be bad if they aren't going to expand anything regarding him at all.

Oh, BTW, I'm still shipping Sawa x Taichi, if there's going to be any romance in this anime. I feel like love and music comes together. :)

Well said, zensunni. Yeah, I do agree that calling out that she hated her mother was a wrong choice of word. I hope you know what I were trying to mean. (I still feels like her feeling is directed toward her mother though, not the world.)

This episode made me do a complete 180 for Wakana, I love her character now. Before I thought she was just a moody teen, but after all the explanation in this episode it makes sense why she's been acting the way she does. It seems like her personality is about ready to flip for the better as well.

Pretty good episode. Why does everyone have to be perfect singers? Lol.

I love Melody of the Heart. Need to get write some sheet music for it, for duet. LOL

I like the show, but I don't like the characters very much right now. They're all just kind of "meh" to me right now. >< Same with Kokoro Connect. I don't specifically love any character.

But yeah, I'm looking forward to next week.
