Everyone please stop talking about death flags, jesus; there are tons of situations where they are just sick or have a weak body, it doesn't fucking mean instant death flags

Kousei repeats his monologues way too much, it's driving me crazy. And "She likes my best friend, I am friend A" really annoys me, too. It's like he wants us to feel sorry for him, and to support him.

And Takeshi with his idealism was annoying me too. Guess that's because they are teenagers.

This drama was way too elongated, too. Glad it ended.

The last scene was nice, now that's the Shigatsu I like.

The last scene was beautiful. I don't think I've heard to song they used during it. I'd love to know what it's called :)

One of the most important aspects of this episode, in my opinion, is the revelation that Kousei's mother did not originally want him to be a pianist. She knew that it is a tough life and didn't wish "her treasure" to be harmed by it. It is clearly indicated that Hiroko is the one who convinced her to pursue his talent, so his "new" teacher seems to have some pretty heavy baggage that she is bringing to the party.


This is shown even more in the manga if I remember correctly.

Is it any wonder why this is one of the best shows of the season? Even the fillerish episodes, have a substantial amount of weight in them.

Plus the series is absolutely gorgeous! The tender moment at the end, magnified by the music was amazing. Unfortunately the last line is a major death flag, I don't know how they plan on handling the show going forward, but if its as well made as the first half, then all will be well.

Making Kousei's mother seem more like a happy/nice character seems like an odd narrative decision given the sort of story this is.

Speaking of which, Hiroko Seto actually looks like she could be Kousei's mom or older sister.

Episode narrative that marks a turning point in history, I believe that one season is not enough, if you want to keep this pace.
Plot advancing well in its drafting.
Calm, pleasant and sweet narration today.
Pleasant the OST as well as designs.
Animations excellent.
Too bad that some points in history have already revealed.
However this show is great.

From that last quote I really think that Kaori is sick or something! Like ever since that episode where she was taking those pills in the bathroom I knew something was def wrong...
Already half-way with this series, and it's really coming together! Can't wait for that gala performance! :)

The rebirth of Arima. Many changes for our pianist, the result part and the park with Takeshi allow to see it. The final scene is very beautiful, I wonder how much time remains before the anime becomes a drama.

Perfect episode as usual.

I like Hiroko. The firefly scene is nice but okaaay, now the death flag is more obvious.

I just had a thought about the title. Since they met in April, wouldn't be the lie in "Your Lie in April" the existence of Kaori in Kousei's life? Man, I feel sorry for Kousei if it turns out this way.

And the 2 weeks of waiting starts now. *sigh*

The new chracter introduced to be Kousei's guardian is awesome, I like her already. Can't wait to see more of her.

Kaori, I first thought she jumped over the bridge into the water -- however, it was a gorgeous scenery with fireflies. I loved it. Kousei's "I had you" made me SO HAPPY, he actually said but it didn't last long because of the the cut scene after Kaori's final sentence.

I don't want something to happen to Kaori, Kousei's 'Friend A position' is already an issue as it is. *Sigh*

Was alright. I like the new character c:

They're really laying the death flags pretty thick, it's like they're trying to keep an air of mystery surrounding the mother but don't give a fuck about Kaori lol.

Yes! Exactly! o_o
I'll feel sorry for Arima if Kaori die soon. He just lost his mother and will probably lost the girl he loves! It's just too sad! D:
I feel bad for that because I don't really like Kaori, so if she dies I'll be more sad for Arima. Bu I don't hate her
Well, I didn't read the manga, so let's see what will happen now.
Also, the new character is cool :DD

Cool episode like every previous one. That's why i love this anime, it's my favorite this and probably the next season too!
Hiroko is interesting~

I like how he was honest about his inspiration... felt like a confession :) Good to hear something like that instead of waiting for it for 20 ep.
I wonder what illness Kaori has. I noticed some time ago, when she fainted and all, and the way she talks to her violin... it's a cliched and sad anime twist, but how else would she be so full of life.

I'm SO glad it has 22 episodes, and i hope they finish the story by then or have another season if that's not the case :)

Yup, she's definitely dying. Will be interesting to see how they handle it. So far, pretty average series. Doesn't aspire to be much, just a show about a kid and his piano. 5/10 at the moment.

I miss the days where I just took everything in an anime at face value and didn't have the ability to detect death flags, foreshadowing, etc. Back then everything was a surprise. Now we all pretty much know Kaori's going to die...

Great episode; I had put this anime on hold for a while, but picked it up again today from episode four, and I'm not disappointed. This has been a great anime so far. I just hope it stays that way, because A-1 Pictures has a habit of starting off well and completely starting to botch everything around the halfway point. Regardless, this is one of the best anime I've watched in a while, so I have high hopes.

As a side note, can someone PLEASE tell me the background tune that played more or less around the eight minute mark when Kousei was talking to Aiza? I loved it!

I'm starting to feel Clannad vibes all over again, and holy heck that anime was great but was probably the saddest one I've ever watched.
There's a melancholy air to each of these episodes, everything is bittersweet.
Judging by the way this anime has turned out so far, my guess is that Kaori is on her way out. Think about it, she showed up like the summer sun in Arima's dark world and she's brought him out of his shell and he's starting to recover by dedicating his music to her. We've already caught glimpses of her medical problems, and that final line of the episode couldn't sound more like a nail in the coffin.
It's entirely possible that they're LEADING us to believe she's going to pass away soon and will miraculously save her in the end, but going off the general vibe of this anime I wouldn't be surprised if she does die only to give Arima strength and the will to recover from another loss by finding true meaning in his musical ability.

Great episode, probably not my favorite so far, but that firefly scene, confession, and background music throughout the episode was good enough to put it amongst the best.. :)

Okay, I have something important to say : Koharu-chan. Is. Fucking. ADORABLE!! No seriously, that girl is the definition of the adorable moe daughter. Hikori also looks like an awesome mom and teacher. I just love tomboy girl.

Kousei and Kaori need to fuck already. No seriously, you're damn cute together, just confess or something. Also, goddamnit Kaori, for fuck sake, stop being depressing by telling us with metaphor that you're suffering from a terminal cancer or some shit like that. Also, I have something realyl creepy to say that I've been wondering so far : her hair is so beautiful that it doesn't look natural. Could it be a... wig? I don't mean to say that as an insult at all! It would just confirm the cancer theory...

The hero monologue definitely reminded me of Ping Pong the Animation. If you haven't watched it, please, do yourself a favor and watch it. It's a worthy trip.

I guess Kaori does indeed have something. I mean, saying she won't always be around totally gives away something bad.


So it looks like Seto will teach Kousei. The two can be laid back yet serious which in my opinion will help Kousei grow. Little girl was all over Kousei lol.
