ueda said: THIS SHOW. THESE FEELINGS. sdfghyujkkjhggfsdfg. Quite possibly my favorite show of the year so far. Got to agree on that |
| this anime is great XD just amazing :D |
| The spring I met you, The spring without you. |
| Ughhh this show!! SOoooo amazing! I got chills watching the Jun x Yurika scene at the end... this is gorgeous! |
  |
| I liked the ending of this episode. First time for a while. It dawns on me Sentaro doesn't play drums with the same sort of "drum sticks" a jazz drummer would have used. They aren't brush like at all. |
| Such junk... |
| The Christmas party was pretty ridiculous but Kaoru and Ritsuko moments were simply brilliant. Although I feel a little sorry for Sentarou, that was one of the best rejections I've seen. Way to go Ritsuko! With the sense Yurika knocked in to her, hopefully she'll figure out the rest. It was good to see that Junichi hadn't messed Yurika up, yet. Although I was pretty angry at Junichi, even I couldn't wait for him to pull Yurika into the train. That's probably the best thing he has done in a while. The story continues beautifully and it's brilliantly poured into images and sounds. |
| And slowly, you come to realize... It's all as it should be... |
| Wow that ending... I was expecting something like that but not the way I imagined it, maybe that's why I like this show so much. XD |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| MY GOD!!! Jun X Yurika scene is simply beautiful!!! Brilliant. Just brilliant. And again, the music is outstanding. |
| The scene on the train station was fucking beautiful, one of the best I've ever seen. EEEK Kaoru got the mittens :3 Loving this show. 5/5 Sent with Mal Updater |
| Nonononononononononono!!!!!!!!!! That was going though my mind those slow moments when Jun looked at Yurika's reflection. I honestly don't think they deserve that happy ending just yet. Jun still has a lot to do to get himself back together and I don't think Yurika needs to be a part of it. |

| everybody here's praising the scene between yurika and jun, but i really didnt like yurika's character to begin with (she only served the purpose of leading sentarou on), i didnt like what jun's character BECAME, and worst of all, it looks like sentarou doesnt have any hopes of finding his "special person" anytime soon ;_; (AFTER HE SAVED THAT BITCH FROM THE DELINQUENTS, TOO) -___- but i definitely LOVE where kaoru and ritsuko are headed this series overall is just SO amazing |

| THIS ADAPTATION. Oh man, everything fits, it has a rythm. THIS ANIME. Totally my favorite of this season and almost on my top 5. ALL MY FEELINGS. Daaammn! That beautiful background music, the colors, the hands, the eyes... SO FULL OF WIN. I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!! I CAN'T STOP LISTENING THE OST. HELP ME!! ;A; |
| Kaoru x Ritsuko <3 |
 |
| Finally. Get your garbage out of here. I don't know why but I never liked those two characters. This part of the plot is probably why this anime won't get a perfect score from me. Too bad coz I really like it and I'm considering of putting it on my top 5. Heh.. hate on me, on my own opinion but this why this episode pissed me off; They glorified two supporting characters and forgot how they built up one of the main lead's (Sentarou) character development... They suddenly stunted his growth, cut him off the scene, and gave him a mediocre end to his part on the story. Wtf is that? I didn't like Sen at the beginning of the show but the series worked you into really buying into his character. Its just really dumb how there was so much time invested on Sen's character and he ended up getting the short end of the straw. The show made him a loser and won't even give at least one thing that he can best Jun out of. I doubt I'll see justice for him on the next 3 episodes. |
thundershocked said: I'm glad Yurika is gone, I never liked her character. Really? I find her very likeable, maybe her infatuation with Jun started out a little too fangirl-ish, but it developed into something much more than that, and I think she grew as a character along the way. She proved to be much more than just the typical 'ojou', something she hated being associated with. She's mature and, I think, a good person, even if a bit too serious for her age. I have to admit I didn't really like her character at first, but she quickly grew on me. Anyway, nice touch at the end, with Kaoru's shocked 'huh?' |

| what an amazingly good episode. now THIS is slice of life. |
| Finally we got an episode with the drama back to the level it used to be (though it's starting to lean on the melodramatic side) and a nice little jazz jam as well, though not one of my favourites. And now the focus can be back on the 3 main characters which probably means the ending will be good too. |
| That was beautiful. |
 |
| Probably the best episode of the season ^^. |

| Was too bothered by the challenge session to concentrate on the rest of the episode... The trumpet part was god awful, knew kids in highschool who could run circles around that dude, also not exactly sure how in a challenge where your raising the tempo a trumpet could conceivably keep up with drums. Honestly drums would smoke a trumpet in terms of tempo, its why you need a good drummer when playing fast jazz pieces, if they raise the tempo even just a little they might start snowballing the tempo to a point where the wind section as a whole will become unable to keep up. Also not really happy that Sen and Jun had a touching moment... Would have preferred if Jun felt even a little bit of guilt for what he did, Yurika too because what kind of role model would hit on "the person who looks up to him"'s love interest. Bleh, left a bad taste in my mouth. |
 |
| Nearly cried during the train scene. Didn't expect Jun taking Yurika with him. Sentarou needs to find someone. |
 |
| First anime to make me actually care about romance lol. The scene where the train was moving at Yurika looked back at Jun with teary eyes was so emotional and perfect! |

| Love is such a crazy thing |
 |
| Jun took Yurika along in the end! That was... romantic. Haha seems like Riko's sorted out her feelings, good. |
| Yurika comes across as an obsessed high schooler. No anime will successfully bury the fact that meeting someone when you're 16, changing your life for them and following them to another part of the country is usually quite psychotic. When I was 16 I thought I was in love too. That was fun. He's the Jack to her Rose. |
 "It's just...a bad dream! Wake up, wake up...!" |
| Wow, does this mean Sen will end up alone? I really didn't expect Brother Jun to take Yurika with him, and I'm kind of disappointed by that because I was hoping that Yurika and Sen could finally hit it off now. Oh well, at least everyone's with the person they really love. These last two episodes have been really good. Hopefully the show ends on a high note. |
| I actually couldn't care less about Jun and Yurika. She is just a kid, she shouldn't be running away with someone she thinks she loves. 3/5. |
| I'm so happy for Jun and Yurika. Great couple (if I pretend all the school kids are in year twelve it's a bit less ridiculous). |

| Yurika sure has a tough life for a high schooler. That scene where Kaoru man slapped Sen killed me! |
| This is such a great show. That jazz session at the end was awesome! Can't wait to see the next episode. |
| "The will to live is stronger than anything else" |
| I'm seriously loving how things are progressing in this show romantically. Very straight forward and no bs stalling or playing games. |
| That scene with Yurika and Jun at the end was great, at first I thought it really was the bittersweet farewell but once I saw her tears I could feel it coming. This series... The gloves in the piano at the end was a clever touch, I'm glad that Riko was able to move on and that Sen still saw her as family, but showed how he cared for her as family. |
 |
| Bon voyage, JunxYurika ship :) Nice glove Kaoru haha ^^ |

If it ended tragically I might have come to like them a little, but now, not really. "Lol papa, mama, I am going to elope with a guy I met months ago, thank you for taking care of me for.. uhm.. roughly 16 years. Bye." - Yours truly, Yurika. |

| Oh wow that ending! That sure was unexpected yet lovely! Quite interesting development in general the train and the glove scene were just way too lovely! Well let's see what happens next! |

taterhead said: Hahah, this truly is a beautiful anime.. I would even go that far and say it's one of the best ever!Why so beautiful, anime? So seemingly easy and simple done, yet so majestic, full of emotions. Wonderful! :D |
 |
Gemp said: I actually couldn't care less about Jun and Yurika. She is just a kid, she shouldn't be running away with someone she thinks she loves. 3/5. Kinda agree, I liked the episode as a whole but I still never cared about that storyline to begin with but I'm glad it's over now and we follow the main trio until the end. |
 |
| This faggot kid is seriously ruining the show for me |
 |
| K, scratch what I said on the previous thread about the Jun x Yurika romance; the end of this episode was POWERFUL AF. And so was the brawl between Sentarou and Jun. Great episode. |

| Kaoru slapped like a bitch, should have been a punch. [Guy slaps girl], [girl slaps guy] or [girl slaps girl] I've seen a lot. But when a guy slaps another guy, it's feels a bit gay. |
 |
sweetdrops said: I'm glad Yurika is gone, I never liked her character. Same, all the focus on her and Jun is unnecessary. |
 |
| So back to romance I care nothing for with the music taking a backseat. Plus a teenager running away with a guy, that always works out right? We are supposed to celebrate a high schooler running off? I'm not going to at least. At least two characters I really don't care about are gone, now we can concentrate on the three that I kind of do... even if they are stuck in a stupid love triangle. |
 |
| I can't stand the idea of arranged marriages so seeing Junichi take the crying Yurika was nice, although I don't really care for the two :v |
 |
| Oh I'm really glad Junichi and Yurika are together again. For a second I thought Junichi was gonna let her slip between his fingers, alas, I'm thankful for being proven wrong. Next episode is probably when we see Kaoru and Ricchan together for real. I hope so, those gloves weren't just putting my hopes up for no reason. c: |
 |
| Sen's luck is just terrible first he had 2 women now he has none ... |
 |
| another intense episode, ngl i teared up in the last five minutes. and while I am happy for yurika and jun a part of me feels iffy because just how much older is jun?? (also he really look better with longer hair) |
 |
| Nice, looks like Ritsuko is clear on who she really likes now, I do feel bad for Sen though. Good ridance to Jun and Yurika, I never liked those two anyways. |
