Even though there are many funny moments everytime, this anime always know how to make one uneasy. This ominous feeling of parting is getting closer and closer, those really won't be pleasant episodes to watch.

I bet he will play for her... instead of her. In the future.

On the other hand - Seto was adorable :D

Oh Damn ..... Strongest Death flag yet . The feels are real (._.) ... I actually like how the mangaka chose to make them 14-15 years old . Makes their love ( or feelings of admiration) really innocent like . Cause seriously if they were 17+ this would have turned into some sort of an ecchi fest -_- . Really would have messed up the story that way. The anime is great so far . Lets see if the quality sustains itself till the end .
There’s no hope on the battlefield.
It has nothing but unspeakable despair.
Just a crime we call victory, paid for by the pain of the defeated.
Yet humanity has never recognized this truth.
And the reason for that is, in every era,
a dazzling hero has blinded people with their legends and prevented them from seeing the evil of bloodshed.
The true nature of humanity has not advanced a step beyond the Stone Age!

Yes let's go on a journey but not another foreshadowing last lines. >_< From the comments way ahead of me, I see everyone's arriving at the same conclusion.

They're making it too obvious that she has some sort of incurable illness. Would be ironic if it turns out to be what his mother had >_>

They really believed that this episode's finale would have been an incredibly powerful scene, they even used an insert song... but it didn't work because Kousei had the same exact realization at the end of episode 10. Again, it's the same shit repeated ad nauseam.

I know it is a dramatic anime but sometimes I think it is exaggerating. Is it only me that gets annoyed by how much the characters cry? This may seem like a stupid critic but, indeed, on every single episode someome has to cry. Of course sometimes I think this is a good way of developing the plot and the series is, generally, well built on the drama. It makes the show a bit forcible in my point of view...

Aw man, so his mom didn't used to be like that. She didn't even want Kousei to become a pianist. It's her sickness, alright.
Is that cute chibi girl Seto's daughter?? If so, then she is a milf!!
I will always remember Grave of the fireflies whenever I see a firefly T^T
In a way, Kousei already confessed. He should notice already that Kaori is sick :/

This show just got worse for me... this episode clearly outlined that the creators are trying too hard to force emotion onto the viewer. The "feel for the main character" vibe they're trying to give off is just too contrived, so much so that it's ruining the show for me at this point.


It's more that every scene has to be made to look like the most profound life changing and monumental thing ever in the anime even if it's just a low key matter of fact scene in the manga. Everything must be dressed up and run through some glossy filter with the most idealized background settings and visual cues to give people those "feels" they so treasure and seem to derive some sort of emotional drive from. IMO nothing is allowed to breathe and speak for itself and the true moments that matter are never allowed to shine cause absolutely everything is overwrought and overstylized. Just another example of Japan's tendency to overkill everything. If this were live action I can't even imagine how over the top and hysterical the acting would be either since a lot of the time it kind of feels that way already particularly with Kousei's seiyuu.

In any case this show easily maintains it's status as the most pretentious show of the season and that's with the likes of Fate UBW and Wixoss out there. Shigatsu just really goes that extra mile in being just that full of itself. As expected of A-1.


While you may be right, I still enjoy this Anime. Even if I like it, I can see and agree to some of what you said. I don't blindly like an Anime. I see the bad stuff, too.

Deathflags were all over from the start but now they just confirmed it. Horrible..
Tragic death is so cliche and overused in drama/romance. Why did they have to force it even to this anime...? And I had my hopes high for this show.

Death is like a safe haven for all drama creators... I take it as author's inability to create a tension and dramatic situations.

Dropping here, there was some very good things in this show but the overwelming and uncesserary drama was already borderline (and made the comedy parts feel a bit out of place).

Now the not subtle death flag adds even more, the only thing that could pick up the show from that drama soap is doomed, sorry but I can't.
I mean, the thing about someone knowing his futur death and living his life the best he can, it's not "bad" but it's like already seen hundred of times and is not useful to the story.

"You know, I'm not always going to be around to help you..." and asking her violin to put up with her for just a little bit longer... KAORI NO. So many death flags :(

But I really, really liked this episode as well. Kousei finally kind of said something to Kaori! And Seto seems like a great character so far.

I would rewatch this just for the last scene with the fireflies; that scene was really beautifully done, especially the soundtrack.

I want them to stop reminding me that Kaori is sick and might die halfway through..... I really just want to see her smiling and be happy in earnest.

The scene and quote about fireflies reminded me about Grave of the Fireflies.

And naturally I get very worked up because of scenes involving fireflies at night. Most intense feel so far in the series, and it doesn't even have anything to do with the series itself. Lol

That's a bad omen for anyone who watched GotF. C:

Oh my god. They're going to kill her off, aren't they? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME? I am tearing up over here! That last line she said just broke my heart.

WHY DID THIS ANIME HAVE TO GO ALL CLANNAD ON ME? No, I bet this show's ending is going to be way more depressing. WHYYYYYYY?!

Aside from that stupid unnecessary lol violent comedy xD moment with the piano teacher (who actually seems like a sympathetic person, unlike most of the other psychopaths/borderline sociopaths in this show), the repetitive amount of death flags and other stupid things... this was actually the first episode that I didn't outright hate

Keep up with the okay work and I'll might raise my score

Every time Kousei says "She's in love with my friend" I'm like: "Kousei you asshole! She's not 'in love' with him! Watari couldn't care less about her! Trust us, the author had made it pretty obvious for us in several episodes!"

Oh look, Kaori does have parents... surprise!

How many death flags in this episode? 2? 3? I think there were 4 just in this episode. In any case, too many!

PD: Hiroko's daughter is amazing! She doesn't scream or runs around or annoys her mother, she just stands there in silence waiting to her mother to be done talking. That's wonderful! Perfect daugher child!

I agree with everyone else here: Hiroko is awesome! Love that she was able to see through Kousei's piano playing, even though he still thinks his feelings for her are just "gratitude". Watari and Kaori don't even act much like a couple, I'm really confused as to what there relationship really is. Are they really "dating"? I guess it's a young love/school relationship where they say they're dating but it's not really that serious but still...

On another note the sweets at Kaori's house looked amazing! I love anime food, it always looks so delicious.

too many death flags and too many feels omg - i have a hard time watching this show back-to-back too, but maybe that's just because of how emotional it is and i guess how the beginnings of episodes get a bit repetitive sometimes...

but Hiroko-san is so great omg yes pls be Kousei's new mom <3 lol

"I had you"

Decent episode. I really love the OST in this ep, especially the one during Kaori and Kousei's talk at the end.

Hooray for more death flags and Peanuts! They're making it so obvious =.=

Are Watari and Kaori even a couple? They don't seem like one tbh.
