I was totally  during that one scene. But you have to put that scene into the proper context, aka it's just bait by a shitty and cowardly studio and I've been convinced that the confession Kumiko mentions is, metaphorically speaking, Reina's audition = confession to the teacher. It makes no sense in the context of this episode, which pointed to a gay confession in every way possible, but it's still the truth. You can't get 2 Yurikumas in a row. Too late. I'm a total sucker. I mean I'm well aware that it's bait. But it's still fun to dream. I've got an active enough imagination where i could take any scene and make it my own :D |
| Their is really people thinking seriously that "confession of love" sentence was anything yuri apparently.. she talked about Kousaka doing her best playing as her "confession" to Taki sensei, I thought it was quite obvious. |

I've got an active enough imagination where i could take any scene and make it my own :D This time, it takes an active imagination in order NOT to see the explicit gay vibe. It's not the fans' fault, it's Kyoani's. But we have to be realistic and expect the worst. Ziassan said: Their is really people thinking that "confession of love" sentence was anything yuri apparently.. she talked about Kousaka doing her best playing as her "confession" to Taki sensei, I thought it was quite obvious. KyoAni didn't cross any "line" about that in this ep. Indeed. We've been trolled. |

| Come on this episode .... smells like yuri-ish! Its smell so much that I can't tell anymore if KyoAni's trolling or if they'll actually go with this ship! Nice episode though, the audition part made me shed some tears.

I didn't even thought of that metaphor (Reina's audition = confession to the teacher). The Yuri was so present that I could just ship hard Kumiko x Reina. Seriously KyoAni you're playing too much with my poor heart >< |
| Great build up and character interactions throughout this episode. This show is just so good in controlling its tone and pacing. Kousaka totally rekt Kaori in the audition but everyone was too afraid to admit it, very frustrating yet realistic. As expected, Kaori accepts her loss because of how good of a person she is. I was half-expecting a kiss between Kousaka and Kumiko. Seriously, just do it already damn it. One of my favorite episodes yet. |
| no... i refuse to believe these comments that say kousaka x kumiko won't happen. ya, kousaka did say that she likes the band director... but what about that red string of fate that ties kousaka x kumiko in the ending song? 9/10 |

| KyoAni should stop trolling us with yuri confessions |
| LOL WTF is most of the group deff. IT was obvious KOusaka was much better and yet they didnt stand for her. And that crying scene from the ribbon girl was not heartfelt at all since it was plainly obvious who was better. Respect for kaori though who had enough humility to know kousaka was better but FUCKIN SERIOUSLY, THIS CLUB IS FILLED WITH JELOUS PEOPLE WHO WONT ACCEPT SOMEONE YOUNGER BEING BETTER THAN THEM |
| Shirayuki= Most Perfect Female MC ever |
| In this episode, the cunt Yuuko got more hate from me. Such a selfish request for her sempai to win...what a cunt. The result is to be expect that Reina will get the solo part. Cry all you want cunt Yuuko, you and your sempai are the most hated in this series. Watching this episode make me so mad...just want to punch that damn Yuuko in the throat. Now, lets gets away from all the hating stuff...those yuri moment haha |

| dat yuri <3 rest is terrible |

Maerow said: Ribbon's tears are delicious. Indeed, they are. Good thing Kousaka ended up with the solo part in the end :) HOLY CRAP!!!! YURI BAIT!!!!! :D |
| Damn it KyoAni...such strong yuri bait between Kumiko & Kousaka, making me think for one second that they were going to kiss. If this pairing doesn't become canon, then we've been trolled hard. >_< The audition part was beautifully done, with a clear difference between Kousaka & Kaori's solo performances. In the end, Kousaka was the right person to go through, although that was too much for Yuko to take and breaks down in tears, which won't do much to win any sympathy from other posters, including myself, to be honest. =/ With the solo face-off done, let's hope the main performance goes off without any problems! =D |
| She accused Taki-sensei for being biased but who's biased now? What a hypocrite. |
| AA+ queerbaiting as always Kyoani *golf clap* i am so annoyed with Yuko i felt like throwing up when she started bawling aloud because that's how much it disgusted me:/ I hope we won't see her for the two last episodes... |

| We're slow getting hints of Kumiko slowly being aware of Shuichi. 1. At the start, she is obviously concern of Shuichi's performance. 2. When Hazuki mentioned "trumpet group", Kumiko paused for second there, pretty sure she was expecting to see him with them. 3. By the river, oh, those eyes of Kumiko. She'll strive better like Shuichi. Inspired? Usagi-chan, that is not nice, if she have full confidence with her senpai's skill, she don't have to do that. She made it look like she accepted the fact that Reina is better and will likely pass the audition. That'll be insulting for Kaori. Oh, so this is the famous yuri? *claps at Kyoani Everything Kumiko said is expected coming from a friend. I will be sad if my friend will lost in something especially if I know how hard he/she practiced to get that part. Thank you for exaggerating it... LOL Oh, Kumiko even "returned back" the joke Reina did at the hill. Now the audition, I pretty sure the audition was not only to let every one decide who should play the part but also to have the opposing party assess the skills of the other. At this scene, Kaori, accepted the fact that Reina is better than her. Popularity and seniority or even passion is the deciding factor, it was the skill. Now, Reina, it's one step away from being special in sensei's eyes!!!! |

Ok, I'm wrong there. But with 171 vs 170, you're totally not the majority. Being too loud ain't making you the majority. |

Shoot. Thank you, i didn't noticed that because the scene overpowered the dialogue, for me. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| Shuichi getting scolded in the beginning was satisfying. Dude was probably thinking about Kumiko all day/night and didn't concentrate enough on his musical parts. I like how Asuka always stays neutral and steers away from potential drama. Such a shame she hasn't been getting enough screentime, Still best girl though, no matter what others might say. Yuko asking Reina to give up on playing the solo parts and getting rejected was hilarious! Dem salty tears when her beloved Kaori-senpai admitted defeat were also delicious. Get REKT, bitch! ReiMiko ship is sailing at full speed! Too bad, it's all just high quality Yuribait. Why you do this, KyoAni? >.< Good episode. A bit surprised how many people held back from voting, which made Taki-sensei ask Kaori for the decision.  |
 |
| The thing is that if they do Kumiko x Shuichi then it's been handled very badly. They invested so much into their yuri baiting that Kumiko x Shuichi comes off as more and more unrealistic and forced. At least, make Kumiko blush when she's thinking about Shuichi, KyoAni doesn't even try with those two. |
| ^ ..if they rush things up... personally I don't like that either. Let's pray for more seasons.. ....so we can unleash the 7th fleet |

Uuuuh? Wasn't that another payback like the one in ep.6 "That seems like something you'd say", I'm sure it's like that, and not about the Taki thing. Why can't you all admit that their relantionship is awesome? It's useless, no one can ruin this moment. But, I'm the only one who likes Yuuko? |

Imeon said: 2. When Hazuki mentioned "trumpet group", Kumiko paused for second there, pretty sure she was expecting to see him with them. She was hoping to see Reina, not Shuuichi, even Hazuki and Midori got that and asked her if she wanted to eat lunch with Reina. |

| Amazing episode, I need to hear their auditions side by side. Confusing love confession, not sure if it could be real. |

Actually, that was pretty obvious, why didn't I think about it? She's just making fun of Reina's confession in episode 8. This other interpretation points towards the friendly kind of love, though. |

I think it was both toward about the subject (the audition) and a reference to another episode as others pointed out. Even if it was not, it's not a "love" as romantic couple thing, more a "girl bromance". And I agree, I really like their relationship but I never thought it was anything really romantic, just a strong link & emotional bond. That kind of scene just strengthens it. About Yuuko it feels like it's too easy to hate her, she's annoying but more like a child is annoying, she really cares for Kaori and does quite stupid things for that. Also she took a bit the blame for everyone as she was not the only one thinking Taki could be biased. |

| ^ this guy knows what he's talking about. |
| Very nice episode. It was nice that we could really hear the difference between Reina playing and Kaori. |
I despise woke people. |
 yuriphonium strikes again. seriously though, i loved this episode. the dynamic between kumiko and reina is really pleasant to watch, and they definitely have a lot of chemistry. i also love how their relationship can be interpreted in any way, whether it be platonic or romantic, although now that this episode has aired, i'm leaning towards platonic. it was obvious that kumiko was just making fun of what reina said in eppy 8, and i doubt that she was legit. still, i can see why people ship them. they're really cute together ^.^ Maerow said: Ribbon's tears are delicious. yeeeeee |

I didn't take the confession seriously, nor I did in ep 8, but the strong link & emotional bond you're talking about is enough for me to ship them. For what i consider yuri, that's enough. Yuuko sure is troublesome, but I can't help finding her sweet, I like her childish behavior. -I'm sorry for all the mistakes but I'm having a very hard time writing in english this time...- |

STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Ok, why are people still saying that this is yuri baiting when this has been going on since episode 8 really??? It can no longer be baiting, they definitely crossed a line and I mean, metaphorical confession or not that scene was gay as hell and just screamed "Kumiko x Reina". There is no Shuuichi. I mean seriously, she saw Shuuichi and walked past him. I take that to mean that she had an opportunity to go after him and didn't want to. She was more interested in Reina's position than Shuuichi's poor practicing skills. The SS Kumiko x Reina is happening, people. If they bring Shuuichi back in the last moment than this anime will be total shit. I'm sad for Kaori, but then again I'm not. She pushed that Ribbon girl to get her all the way to the audition by putting a target on her back to relent at the last second and realize that she is a good person overall??? Meh. Those tears were delicious and I crave that mineral !!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| In regards to Kumiko's "I need to get better", I think she refers to the fact that she was always neutral and indifferent at the start of the series, and she regrets being indecisive towards Shuichi, since it led to him being hurt. She demonstrates how much better she got at being honest with her feelings in the scene with Reina (and in several other minor scenes in the last 2-3 episodes). The Kumiko x Shuichi ship is weak right now, they need to pull off a miracle in those last 2 episodes to make me care. mangakam said: DarcyD said: Ok, why are people still saying that this is yuri baiting when this has been going on since episode 8 really???

T this interpretation is so weak, Reina didn't even mention Taki in this episode, it was all about herself and the conflict with Kaori/Yuuko. I don't think this audition constitutes much of a confession, anyways. I've been convinced that Kumiko is making fun of Reina's confession towards her in episode 8. |

| I'm so glad that ribbon bitch cried. ALSO REINA X KUMIKO OTP!!! |
| The ship is alive people, the ship is alive. All aboard, get your tickets for the Reina X Kumiko ship, the OTP ship to paradise. |

| Its been a while since an anime got me overwhelmed with emotions. I love how the animation is so smooth and detailed you can read characters' emotions perfectly. I get really involved in the atmosphere. Kumiko was most likely just saying that because of what Reina said in ep 8. Curse you KyoAni. I don't care if its just bait, im taking it. |
