| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I'm not an expert at judging music but I think the performance in this episode with the piano and violin was great. I always wanted to see this animated (so we can you know...hear the music) so I'm not disappointed here. Obviously, there's some problems with the MC involving his past so we'll know more about that later. So far so good though for this pacing. Why are you sleeping Ryouta?! . Kaori looks very pretty on stage imo. |

| That performance was great. The amount of budget they put into it is pretty impressive. I guess that makes up for all the other still frame shots and lack of faces. 5/5 looking foward to more. |
Jakerams said: Okay one of my favorites of the season. 500/5 Just beautiful in any aspect. PS. To be honest I'm not into classical music at all. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Tried to look up Kreutzer on Youtube to compare Kao's rendition of the piece to how it's normally played, and found that her performance in the anime matched that of this one: Pretty well done in terms of animating the hand movements and choosing the right rendition to represent Kao-chan as a musician and character. Great episode. |
| Wow this show has been very impressive so far. It may be a romance with high schoolers but it feels pretty mature and its centered around classical music and the gorgeous color pallete and art style definitely fit. If it can keep it up for the next 20 episodes this will definitely be a solid show. |
| Loving it more and more. |
| Eh |
| THe only way I got reminded that his is about 14 year old kids is when they put up middle school or say it. Otherwise my brain think they are like 16-18. |
| Yes! I finally hear that "Kreutzer" piece! Kaori-chan is really amazing! That pianist though, she will really quit because of that. (The pianist was been ignored) So it's looks like Watari was not really interested to Kaori and he's been having 2 other girls too. So Kaori would just part of of it. At the end it's definitely Kaori was actually waiting for Kousei, she's just making an excuse/cover. And It's really like Kousei was been setup by his friends. The animation/design was seriously dropped though (Damn it! Please end Naruto already!) Anyway I can't wait for the next episode next week! |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| Guys, according to this http://anichart.net/airing Isn't the show supposed to be scheduled for tomorrow? And tomorrow we got 3rd episode instead, like wtf? I'm confused. Can anyone care to explain? |
| It was pretty good, I like instrumental music so this little piece they made. The main girl looks interesting. |
| That violin performance gave me goosebumps 5/5 I can't wait for next episode . |
| Seriously which one of the guys does Kaori like? One minute I think she likes Watari the it looks like she actually likes kousei. Her musical performance was beautiful. Normally I dislike classical music but that... just wow! |
 Whats my age again? WHERE IS MY ASIAN FRIEND!!!!!!! |
| Hmmm, I think Kousei was about to have a panic attack since he's back to a place that brought up bad memories. Ryouta was so enthralled by the music that he just had to fall asleep and dream about it. Albeit being very annoying I can at least admit that Kaori looked really cute in that dress. I must say that Kaori's performance was great and it funny how the lady playing the piano was struggling to keep up XD. Too bad, Watari was about to redeem himself... So Kousei is going to be Ryouta's substitute eh... |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| Loving this so much! I wasn't even looking forward to it before the season, but now it beats everything else in my eyes. |
| What an amazing performance! Different from everyone else's. Just listening really brought me into their world. Looks like she truly enjoys just playing in front of others than winning an award. And so beautiful! Brings me to tears c; |
 "Later on, you will become a lively person causing headaches as the shrine-god." |
| That was a great episode. I don't know much about or have much of an interest in classical music, but Kaori's performance still caught me by surprise and had me captivated all the way through. Kousei saying that she made it her own was an excellent description. |
| That Kreutzer piece played by Kaori was absolutely breathtaking. It was great to see this scene animated. Obviouly this show is definitely my favourite of the season so far. I'm looking forward to the next episode. |
| 1. Kaori owned the competition 2. Sometimes the comic relief can be a bit too much & ruin the mood. meh... 8/10 |

| Friend A got upgraded to Substitute. The scene with Kousei lying down on the music sheets would make a nice background/wallpaper, if only quality was a bit more sharp and clean. |
| Wonderful. It's such a beautiful anime. I'm not sure why Kaori's hand has been shacking, I hope she doesn't have a disease or whatsoever :/ |
 |
| Kaori's performance was splendid! And she looked beautiful in that get up <3 I can't wait to see Kousei and her making a duo. Would be awesome :3 Should be interesting seeing how they'll fall for each other ^^ and how he'll get back to playing the piano :D |
 |
| Kaori performance was amazing. Another great episode. Like how we left off right at the part of the first episode. Felt like I had left a bookmark, if that makes sense. Kousei not feeling being back in the world of music. Surprise people still knew him after he grew up. Kaori owned her performance. Even more amazing cause it was her own piece. Can't blame Kousei for catching feeling. She's like a perfect match for him,or a substitute. The best part of the episode was what they say. For some reason the dialogue is great in its own. Can't wait to see more. 5/5. |
 |
| Dang, gotta say, 10/10 music. The animation is also solid, so pretty. 9/10. Can't wait till next week ! |
 |
| I'ts weird, I'm liking the direction with the musical side of the show, but I'm not sold on the direction everywhere else. It creates a really nice atmosphere at times, but as a whole I don't think it flows that well. Like the "it was like a movie" scene, they created this really uneasy atmosphere but nothing really justified it. I don't know what's going on with her arm shaking(Parkinson's?), but even if that was something serious and not just a show of how nervous she was after performing, I don't think the atmosphere there needed to be quite so uneasy. I did like some of the dialogue though, like Watari's talk about how someone in love shines to you. That's probably the biggest indication that he likes Tsubaki. billybob300c said: Agreed. They do such a good job establishing a serious mood, but the transitioning is just off. The comedy bits aren't really funny either. The worst one was when she walked out to the stage, they literally threw in the two second comedy bit and transitioned right back to the captivating atmosphere. It's just out of place and unnecessary.Sometimes the comic relief can be a bit too much & ruin the mood. |

| Crappy hollywood-tier episode. Kaori's take was pretty interesting, you could say it sounded a lot like Schubert (thats what I made out of it), but the animation didn't paid off in the end (the staff's gestures, crowd reaction and the performer's gestures... way too off from reality, but I guess thats what makes anime shine) |
| Good episode. I liked that performance from Kaori. |
 |
| Loved Kaori's performance, kinda wished that there was a custom piece for her part, I didn't noticed anything different between her performance and the real one, the anime really has a crap load of potential! |
| This anime is one of the most promosing ones I've seen in a while. Kaori still amazes me every minute. She's just the perfect character! Mysterious, energentic, lives her lifes to the fullest... The music is awesome and I think the main character is such an interesting guy. The way he describes everything just makes me shiver. XD I just love how this anime succeeds without having 100 jokes and romance-moments. |

| That was an... interesting way to play beethoven :P |
| For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave. Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. |
| Animation Porn/5 Great Episode. Kaori performance was amazing. I really hope they handle the comic relief better, it's kinda forced and ruins the mood imo. |
| Oh God, why is Arima such a bro? He should've just told her the truth, but I guess that goes against guy code, and the show has to drag the romance out as long as possible. Another charming episode, I'm liking the mood and style. I particularly like Arima and listening to his inner thoughts |

Syrosu said: I didn't noticed anything different between her performance and the real one That's because she performed the same piece everybody did. If you're wondering what went wrong, its how she played it (her dynamic was different and played in a different tempo, but then you realize that nobody else played it 100% correct, you can notice that the others lose their tempo). Now that I relistened I noticed that what she played wasn't anything special, but when you get exposed to something performed soulessly and then someone comes and play it lively, you're inclined to think that she is on a complete different level. |
| Liked this more than the first episode, this could be quite good |

Yeah, I was actually surprised when I heard one of the performer (Number 3) going off tempo. Also by "The same piece everybody did" you mean in the real world right? |

Syrosu said: Also by "The same piece everybody did" you mean in the real world right? Yeah m7. They played some fragments from the Violin Sonata no. 9 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__e7MRzk8Yg). This director sure likes Beethoven (in the first episode, Arima is playing Moonlight Sonata right after the opening) |
| I wasn't fking moved so much by an anime for a long time. They touched some strings of mine Q_Q |
