My god. Why can't this VN have a completed patch? ;_;
Brilliant as always. I didn't think it was even possible for me to grow more attached to this series than I already have been.

I really like the show and I liked the episode as well, but just not a fan of the Haruki-Setsuna thing. I'd much rather see Haruki-Touma. Especially the build up from the last episode with Haruki taking care of Touma for a couple days straight or so staying with her. For whatever reason I just feel there is a deeper connection between Haruki and Touma than with him and Setsuna. Just made the idiot move and didn't dodge the kiss in my opinion..

Is it just me or there are more Touma fans than Setsuna? Then why oh why most of us (including me of course) are rating this episode with a 5/5?!

Except the characters here are not as psychotic and crazy as in the School Days.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Actually, the company(Leaf) or maybe the VN writer, which I dunno who is he, is a Setsuna-bias so who knows which ending will be adapted.

But like you said, I also heard the anime is Kazusa-bias though I dunno about that.

The original White Album main heroines are singers... so yes Ogiso Setsuna is the main heroine

and to me it looks like Setsuna is the amalgamation of Morikawa Yuki + Ogata Rina (has both their characteristics)

While Kazusa Touma is more similar to Yuki's manager Shinozuka Yayoi which was only secondary heroine

I prefer Ogiso btw~

Well, that's because this episode was directed well. Also, this show does such a good job making both girls likable that the two "competing" shipping factions are so unusually friendly toward each other unlike most other romance shows.

Does anyone else think there is some interesting chemistry between Touma and Setsuna, particularly in this episode? Touma joined the club because of Setsuna, the way she looks at her, her decision to stay in the costume Setsuna chose even after the concert. I know that's not the way this series is going, but I would not be averse to the two of them ending up together.

lots of fan here wants touma but.. i dont know, this episode was just epic for me. I mean, for me the moment when haruki talks with touma and then touma cried was very touching and more romantic for me compared to Setsuna's kissing scene.

(Well it seems like i'm Touma-biased hahaha)

Still downloading it though so not sure if its authentic.

Amazing episode, I feel almost scared to watch more since this is like a perfect ending and I know shits gona go down from here... Kinda makes me sad...I wish they could both be with Haruki and everybody stays happy :(

Amazing episode, best one yet! The whole festival performance was done so well. The songs were really nice. God dammit this is probably the only anime where both heroines are likeable. Kazusa is so talented, able to play the piano/keyboard, saxophone and bass guitar. She looked really cute in her outfit even if it was quite revealing for her. ;) Setsuna also looked really pretty during the performance. That last scene and that kiss, just wow. From here onwards, the real drama begins... Oh god, I don't know if my body is ready. :S

Totally agree with the interpretation about the misunderstanding between Haruki and Touma. My theory would be: the girl whom Haruki truly admires is the mysterious pianist in the 2nd Music Room (remember the first time Haruki saw Touma's back he said "A girl?") ; the person whom Haruki can finally befriend with is the "invisible" classmate sitting next to him (a person who barely shows her quality to anyone). Touma definitely misunderstands him by thinking that Setsuna is the girl. So when Touma says "It's the season of White Album", my first impression brings me to Setsuna's onstage outfit (completely WHITE). Touma gives up at this moment.

Okay! Another thought of my own ... WHY DOES SETSUNA MAKE TOUMA WEARING SUCH AN "EMBARRASSING" OUTFIT, while she is mostly covered in white dress? Well ... They look very nice for sure, but does it reveal part of Setsuna's inner nature? Anyone curious about this? It might just be me.

Why don't they let us hear Todokanai Koi? Without Takeya's backtrack (Touma just finish composing the day before), I am very curious about how it would sound like. T_T ...

Setsuna: Stay with me from now on, okay?
Haruki: If you want to (as a friend).

HARUKI!!! WAKE UP! Do you understand what the girl is asking???

The reason why Touma is wearing such an embarrassing outfit? it's probably because the writers think the fans might like it(?)... well at least that is how i took it... it felt more like a fanservice to me

Ahaha! Yea in terms of audience's perspective this is definitely a fan service. What I'm trying to bring out is that in the drama, Setsuna is the one choosing the outfit. So is Setsuna playing a trick here? I probably think too much on this one ... Haha!

Amazing!! This series is on its way to being my 3rd rated 10 series. It's not guarantee yet it still needs to not only keep this pace but progress more so that means no slow eps but who ever he chooses will be bad since I love both setsuna n touma so idk about that but he HAS to choose 1 if not that will ruin it

Worst episode by far.
It's easily one of the most important scenes in the whole story, that will be remembered over and over again, and they did a job this poor I'm speechless.
The uncountable amount of QUALITY, barely any movement during the concert, half of the time it's just static pan or simply just a zoom in on the lighting, what the hell is that for? Then the talk between Haruki and Kazusa after the concert is awkward as hell too.

Overall just a disappointment, even much worse than the episodes before. They better fix it in the BD.

No... just... no. Not Setsuna. I'm really dumbfounded. I was enjoying this whole episode so much. I was actually doing an air-guitar and air-saxophone during the solos and singing horribly along with Setsuna. Yet, at the end of the episode when Haruki didn't turn away from Setsuna's kiss it's like I fell off of cloud 9. Now when they skipped third song I wanted to punch my laptop screen, but when they kissed I seriously felt like dropping the anime. Mid-way through the episode, during the concert, I decided I was going to give this show a score of 10. Now I don't even know. There is still 6 episodes left and this could be undone, but I don't feel like finishing it anymore. The next episode will probably decide if I finish this show or drop it.

You already listened to the song though, it's the OP of this anime, and they also skipped that part in the original VN.

Rejoice! because Touma definitely have a higher chance on winning Haruki's heart than Setsuna, The little hints suggests that and it's like this anime is Touma biased.

I'm rooting for Setsuna though.

And I heard that in the VN the kiss scene is actually a sex scene ? Or perhaps perhaps it was a trolling comment that I read?


You know, I wonder if its implied, because when they show Setsuna from behind right before or during the kiss scene, it clearly looks like she's missing a key piece of her under garments. Am I wrong in that?

this, i can almost confirm at 100% he is gonna finish with touma,

p.s specualtion here we go

he will be with setsuna for like 2 episodes(it will be drama in them) after this he will understand that he really love more touma, then the next 2 episodes he will pass time with her and he will be crying at the end saying his true feeling at her, bang kiss, they are together.

both are really nice, but i just really wish he will be with touma at the end, no joke, anyway someone gonna be sad at the end.... whatever the choice

Like the titel of this episode said " The last and greatest day", it really was a great episode.

So many unexpected things happened, Touma also reveals her feelings, showing that she wants to be together with Setsuna and Haruki.

Also Setsuna revealed that she likes Haruki and even kissed him.
So they both become lovey dovey now ?
Also this scene was really unexpected for me, let's see what kind of drama will wait for us.

Well wasn't it obvious that it would be a music Anime like " White Album" , maybe you don't know if you didn't watch " White Album" but also the Synopsis said: " Haruki Kitahara, the final member of the light music club" and also " But when a flowing piano melody and a voice as a clear as bell harmonize with his guitar[...] "
