| Very charming, really liking it so far. The characters are really great. AND MY GOD I LOVE THE OP |
| Really loving the atmosphere in this anime. |
 |
| Oh dear. This is gonna hurt |
| This show is so adorbs, loving every moment of it! |

| Kaori's performance *~* She was on FIRE!!! *~* But, I think she knows that Watari's gonna ditch her. That's kinda' sad, 'cause I know the feeling. Been through it. But damn, friend A, you say. *Friendzoned alert* e.e |
| kaori reminds me of nodame. icanhazqnime said: Oh dear. This is gonna hurt for the eagle eyed viewers only... |
| That performance from Kaori is always amazing to look at, no matter how many times I see it. |
  |
| I don't blame the guy for sleeping. I like classical music, but symphonies often make me sleepy, especially because inside auditorium it is dry and warm. Though solo tends to be more melodic and less sleep-inducing. |

| Hold on, did she just call him Watari's substitute? What the fk |
| Kreutzer is such a beautiful piece. |
| Rely on nothing under heaven |
| Begin to strike the keys, although the sound they emit is sweet, much remains to perfection... -- Empiezan a golpearse las teclas, aunque el sonido que emiten, es dulce, aun queda mucho para la perfección... |
| Really liked the performance. The passion she showed was great! Arima really loves his inner monologues. |
 |
| her stage performance was amazing, it makes me wish I was talented/passionate about something |
| I loved the way the pianist was looking at Kaori to see whether she would do a fast pace again or take it back slowly :D The movement halfway through was a bit sloppy for a moment but still overall amazing play. I can already tell where this is going though, Kousei is most likely going to be Kaori's pianist. darkwing_uop said: I think the comedy is there to balance out the 'feels' Most likely yes, it's a bit over the top but not too much thankfully, just the right amount so far :) |
 |
| LOL I've never played the violin so hard to the point where I'd sweat, so that part was HILARIOUS to me ahhahahahhaaa xDD |
| Great performance (Y) |
Well, this was indeed a eargarsm, or auditive orgasm. She cover-ed the piece as she wanted. I also knew she was not gonna win because she didn't follow the contest rules but what I didn't expect however was a Public Choice nomination. The nervousness she showed in her hand while asking Kousei how she did, shows that she also has some weight over her that we will eventually know about. PD: Kaori is weird with Kousei, jaja. They are cute and weird together, mostly weird jaja. How is that thing of "substitute"? WTF That's crazy jaja. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - darkwing_uop said: And it is very welcome.I think the comedy is there to balance out the 'feels' Vacu0us said: Yeah, this show is making me sad the wrong way xDher stage performance was amazing, it makes me wish I was talented/passionate about something I mean, these asian kids can make stuff so much better! And add to that epic love stories that anime portraits... BRUH... |

| I was half expecting him to get pulled onto the stage somehow to be her pianist. Why is the athletic girl supporting the relationship between the playboy and the violinist when she knows that he's already in multiple relationships? |
| very sweet <3 his crush is growing and his perspectives changing ^-^ Outside of her playing music she doesn't seem like good character... like she's an entirely different person when playing music than when she was waiting on her "hot boy crush" |
 |
| So far I like this. I'm a fan of shows and movies in which characters struggle musically and do music performance, I've seen a bunch. There's a lot that's not animated here which is a bit of a bummer. I have as of yet to find a music anime I like as much as Nodame Cantabile but this has potential. |
| Such junk... |
| I relate so much to Keiko. It really hurts but at the same time it's beautiful. |

| I'm starting to like this, I want moar Okashi said: I really hope they handle the comic relief better, it's kinda forced and ruins the mood imo. |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| This is getting great quickly. Twenty minutes have never gone by so fast. Although it surprises even me, I quite like the classical music side of the story more than the rest of it. I've never been a fan, but the animation and the music are just amazing. |
| Classic music is a niche thing and I don't belong play something like from the playground instead. Also this is probably because of the hundreds of school based romcom anime I've seen but I think I'm getting numb when it comes to romance with these teens. I's fair to say that I almost don't give a fuck about these ships. |
 |
| I really enjoyed this episode, the flow and some particular moments reminded me of a Wong Fu production. Also, how the judges reacted to Kaori's performance and how they scored her reminded me of how Irish step dance competitions are, basically the same things happen when taking risks. |
| "The will to live is stronger than anything else" |
| Kaori played that violin so great that I was smiling throughout there entire performance, but she knew she won't win but was playing for enjoyment. |
How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb --- Dr Strangelove  |
| And here I was thinking she actually likes the mc and was using Watari to get closer to Arima. Production quality isn't Kyoani/Hibike level but the performance was nice. |
  ~ |
| Thrice. That's how many times the soundtrack swept through me with it's soothing effect. That is something else, 4 years I have lived without it. Characters look charming to me so far. Watari has confidence and popularity among girls, but does not blindly live by it, he seems rather concerned about other boys who aren't in par. Arima is that intelligent and analytical guy but having personal contact renders him unable to express his true opinion (I interpret it this way). Guy who performed first got so much attention, really :) |
| I was disappointed when they did not animate the playing of the first three people, but then they went all out with Kaori's performance and it was great. Wonder how many episode it'll take them to make him play the piano again. |
| Everyone knows who Arima Kousei is, I'm sure he'll make a comeback soon. Both Kousei and Kaori are great musicians, but there's a huge difference between them here. Kousei plays to be number 1 and make his mother happy and proud, while Kaori seems to play just for the joy of it, that's why she doesn't care whether she won or not or whether she's following the actual piece that she's supposed to play down to the exact pitch. But never mind that for now... Listen to how great Kaori played it! I'm no musician, but that's amazing to hear! |
  |
| A great performance of Kaori! Fortunately she was chosen by the public. |
| Honestly, I just want to see him play the piano again. Maybe that will be the 12th episode or so, to finish up the cour? I imagine that is what the show is building up to you. I'm not particularly knowledgeable about classical music, so the first three pieces sounded basically identical to me, but maybe that was the point, in that Kousei was the only person able to distinguish the differences because of his trained ears. Kaori's performance was certainly more interesting, because a) it was different and b) it was actually animated instead of still shots. I can see where the judges are coming from, docking points like that. What the mass favors isn't always artistically the best piece of work, and her performance was certainly blasphemy by that standard. He's going to be Hatori's substitute, huh? Curious to see where this goes. |
| HO--O-OOLY SHIT. That performance gave me chills. This is what I thought K-ON was going to be -- music driven and inspiring -- but I am still deeply hurt it was about moe nothingness. I hardly had any expectations walking into this anime and mm.. This is going to be good, huh? |
 |
| Didn't dislike it as much as the first episode but still so so and cringy. Don't really see what everyone finds so great about this so far. |
   |
| Kaori's performance was great but other than that, the rest of the episode was just OK. Guess none of Kousei's childhood friends know about his latent trauma, by the way. |
| Beautiful. That was a great and lively performance! It seems she just enjoys playing, not winning competitions. |
 |
| Kaori's performance was beautiful. The comedic bits are still annoying and take away from the dramatic atmosphere the show seems trying to establish. |
  I want to know what it is, this 'sin' they say I've committed. |
| Kaori Miyazono as as violist, huh |
| Great performance. Makes up for the rest of the episode being low budget lol |
 |
| Amazing episode, specially loved Kaori performance which pretty much made this episode so good and memorable |
| Kousei's getting troubled with his unexplained feelings aww, cant wait to see his monotone life slowly get more colourful (kinda seems like Hyouka now haha) |
