This anime is really breaking me down badly. Every episode since the single digit episodes have had me at the edge of my seat and the tip of my emotions.

An episode focusing on Tsubaki again, as she finally realizes the extent of her emotions regarding Kousei. The music during the end scene was powerful as well as Kousei's humming. He really is shining a lot in comparison to the eariler episodes.

In comparison Kaori looks awful. She seems so colorless, so lifeless. It's almost as if Kaori's life is becoming Kousei. It's also wierd how she is paralleling Kousei's mother in many ways from the sickness to forcing him to practice.

The synopsis reminds so much this anime. Which major spoilers this novel exactly have? Either the translation or the author writing style sounds really stiff and uninteresting, but I'm considering to read it.

going by what we have seen in the mangas, there will be references and quotes from the novel when kaori converses with arima since they both read it.

Death flags everywhere for Kaori... and for Tsubaki's heart/relationship status. Dem feels are brutal I tell ya.

I've finally caught up in the TV show (5 episode marathon today) after reading ahead in the manga and then stopping at this point. Now, I legitimately have no clue what is going to happen next and of course they show that blonde chick laying in Kousei's lap in the PV...

Damn you Anime Gods for trying to tempt me to start reading the manga again!!

Tsubaki finally realizes her feeling towards Kousei. WOOT!

IMHO i'm not really who am i rooting for. Go for Tsubaki or Kaori? Because the two girls have big impact to Kousei's life. May the best girl wins?

I hated Linda, but I kinda like Tsubaki. Kaori seems to not give a shit to Kousei, except for the music thing.


I don't believed that Kaori only cares for Kousei's music. You wouldn't go that far helping a person get back to his/her feet if you don't like that person or taken an interest towards that person. Besides, i think Kaori is getting the hints that Kousei loves her.

Ugh, so obvious Kaori is really sick. This episode didn't need the comedy relief, it just felt uncomfortable for this gag scenes to be added in when something serious is going on. Omg, Arima is in so much denial. Why else would Kaori cry if she is just taking a few tests? Tsubaki is just toruturing that boyfriend by just talkng about Kousei. Kashiwagi is best girl. Creeps from when Arima and Tsubaki are humming or whatever...that crying thoughhhh, the melodrama.

I feel really bad for Tsubaki in this episode! She is in fact my favorite character out of the entire series. The hate she gets from some people is just more sad (T ^ T). However, as much as I love her, I can't ship her and Arima. Same goes for Kaori too. I just feel that the romance in Shigatsu isn't well developed. People can ship Kaori and Arima all they want but the interactions between them aren't enough to keep me satisified. Tsubaki on the other hand does have nice interactions and times with Arima, but I can't ship her either. I always would love the idea for childhood friends to win in anime, but in this one I can't. It will be so messed up because if Kaori dies and Tsubaki wins, that is BS.

Baka Tsubaki can be really stupid sometimes but she's A LOT more bearable than blonde bitch. Her ship is much stronger than blonde bitch too.

That being said I love that insert song and Baka Tsubaki's friend has such a sexy voice hmm....

Still waiting for blonde bitch to die (I kept wishing it'd happen on the next episode but it just didn't happen. Looks like they're gonna milk it as much as they can.. God help us)

So Kaori's probably gonna stay on the hospital for more time than what she said.

the music was great in this one, it really got me, the scene of little tsubaki (kushi-gushi) was pretty sad, seeing her alone ...and at the end i was at the edge of tears, when they show it again ....that was the point when i cried like a little boy, while clair de lune closes this chapter with tsubaki wanting to surprise kousei.
(i've liked this anime so far, but this chapter was different for me)

THE FEELS IN THAT BEACH SCENE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seirously, i loved when they were singing that tune. Then the Music too !!!! ( the song! WOW ), and then Tsubaki's tears and her screaming while running away from her Love one!!!!!!! Just WOW!!! This episode!!!!! ( probably the best one in the series )

Damn!!! I just CRIED from reading the manga Torikagosou no Kyou mo Nemutai Juunintachi, and now its having the same effect here =( My eyes aren't holding back =D

You obviously don't know many (classical) musicians XD

You're probably right about her getting the hints though, and like someone else allready said, I do think the feeling is mutual. She has just decided not to commit due to her condition, while Watari is only the perfect middle-/high school fling for fun that is also able support her image and act as over.

It may just be empathy. I mean, she sure likes him, but she may not like him the same way as he likes her or like Tsubaki likes him.

I'm really mad Kaori because she doesn't make it clear how she really feels towards him. :(

She may never truly tell him how she really feels, because it may hurt him even more (if she is really gonna die)

After watching this, as well as seeing Tsubaki's side of the story, I can't help but understand and feel bad for her. She said so herself that music is taking Kousei away from her. She just needs some time to think about what she really wants to do now that she realizes that she also loves Kousei, which was very obvious from the start.

Nice episode. Now would be the perfect opportunity for a timeskip. 1 episode where you see the blond chick dying and him leaving and the following episodes when he finished music highschool (or when he became famous.. idk) Then they could make a clichee ending with him coming together with the brown hair chick or make it, or let them go their seperate ways.

Anyways, really like it so far, a few unecessary comedy scenes, but i find it refreshing that they include full episodes only to go into the depth of certain characters (and not only the main one), which is VERY uncommon for A1-Pitcures works. If it continues this way this might even be the first A1-pictures anime i rate above a 6 ( but i highly doubt it will become so good that will consider a score of 8 or above) :)

What a beautiful episode. It was a feels galore overall. Loved how Tsubaki realizes her feelings but also maybe a tad bit sad cause of that. Can't wait for next week, since it seems to be another Tsubaki-Arima centric episode.

This is the biggest flaw in this show. I love that they can be serious but the slapstick is not needed most of the time or rather, it even breaks the mood of the serious scenes.

The feels. Are real.

Tsubaki's feelings are real.

This whole thing is so deep and powerful. Life is so complicated. Kaori has not shown that she likes Kousei romantically yet only that she is compelled by his talented piano playing. However Tsubaki has definitely shown that she loves Kousei but Kousei has already latched onto the one thing he cares about most - Kaori.

This whole thing makes me feel bad for, Tsubaki because Kousei doesn't see her romantically, it also makes me feel bad for Kousei because Kaori doesn't love him or hasn't shown it yet, also her death flag is raised pretty high, then theres Kaori... its obvious you feel bad for her, she is so young yet she has to go through so much because of her "sickness".

Boy this anime is turning out greater than I have expected, it maintains such a perfect balance between romance and music and other genres such as slice of life. Love it.

5/5 this episode. Hope things between Kousei and Tsubaki and Kaori work out for the best.

While I do think it provides a good change of pace sometimes, it can get pretty annoying.
It was not very noticeable in the manga due to the lack of dramatic background music during the intense moments , but it ruins the serious tone of some scenes in the anime. I don't like the comedic violence and the exaggerated amount of blood that gushes out of Arima's head every time he gets hit, but I can tolerate the comedy tbh. The chibi forms the characters take are kinda cute and funny if used in the appropriate situations.

Yeah, there's a handful of appropriate times (especially his piano teacher's daughter who is absolutely precious) when the comedy is used. I'd say it's improving as we see more and more.
I didn't want my comment to come off as a negative post about this show because it's still a really small problem.

An example of an inappropriate time would be Tsubaki's conversation with her friend ( lunchbox scene ), and the scene where she barged into the music room at the beginning of the episode. That was not supposed to be funny at all, tbh, but I'll overlook it.
They'll gradually tone it down, but it's still there.

1. Kaori lives and Kousei x Kaori happens. (Happy ending)

Is the anime even going to have a proper ending? The manga isn't finished yet or?

Now that there's so many feels involved I'd be kinda angry at an open ending..
