Kaori digs sweets, +1

I never thought I'd see Kaori cry but good thing Kousei accepted her request. Once a girl cries you can't deny a request from her. It'll be interesting how the performance goes since Kousei and Kaori haven't practiced together.


The hospital stop is giving bad vibes.

The more i watch this anime the more im amazed at how well they adapted the manga ... Not only did they accurately adapt it , they actually made it much better . I hope they maintain this quality and dont half ass it in the end though .
There’s no hope on the battlefield.
It has nothing but unspeakable despair.
Just a crime we call victory, paid for by the pain of the defeated.
Yet humanity has never recognized this truth.
And the reason for that is, in every era,
a dazzling hero has blinded people with their legends and prevented them from seeing the evil of bloodshed.
The true nature of humanity has not advanced a step beyond the Stone Age!

Kaori's going to hospital... Maybe her mother is ill or something. Will be drama out of it. They're going to play together, yay. Although I feel like they're going to loose.

The episode was amusing. Especially when he played with these children. I'm in love with this series.

Well let's see if Kousei can get over his trauma during this performance with Kaori.

The scene where Arima remembers what the people were saying at the competition where he broke down was really well done. You don't realize until then just how freaked out he was.

Three episodes in and the show is still pretty annoying. Kaori continues being violent and pushy and Arima is still submissive and overall pretty pathetic. I am waiting for him to do something cool to impress her without being forced to do it like this episode.

Heh, so she knew that he was a piano prodigy, huh. I would have preferred if she discovered it in a surprising way.

That shot of the town at the end was beautiful.

Kaori making a stop at the hospital? Oh please god no :( They're gonna have this great relationship and after everything it's going to have a reveal about her having some incurable disease and she dies, I bet. Especially with her saying her purpose is to play music and live on in peoples hearts. My heart won't be able to take it :(

This anime is so heartwarming! As a high school musician (piano/viola) myself, I gotta say that the animation on the playing was near perfect. It's like all my interests were combined in one show - music, school, and romance.

I'm going to be honest here. Kaori bursting into tears was just melodramatic and unnecessary. You could take that out and it would've ended up the exact same way.

But other than that, good episode.

while there are alot of melodramatic moments in this show, I think that was a pretty important scene because it is the very first time we see kaori reveal her desperation despite this entire happy/cool aura she is trying to project.

Must be tough experience for him to play the piano again. Nevertheless, Kaori still persistently finds a way for Kousei to play the piano again! :)

Glad Kousei accepted her request to be her accompanist. Can't wait for the performance!

Okay, so I didn't want to comment in an episode discussion thread until episode 5... But I just can't let this bullshit slide. (Rant incoming)

FUCK KAORI

Okay, so Kousei told Kaori that he couldn't hear the piano. Now, any normal person would catch the hint and realize that something traumatic probably happened in his past and that forcing him to accompany her might not be such a good idea.

BUT GUESS WHAT THAT PSYCHO CUNT CHOOSES TO DO!?

"Oh but ur so good at playing the piano so I am totally going to disregard that and force you to do it anyway! Come on stop being a pussy and do it for me" she says and then, when he states that he doesn't want to she and whatsherface childhood friend start ABUSING HIM – by deep throating him (not literally) with music sheets! And later on, she KICKS HIM! YES, BECAUSE THAT IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA! Lol lol abusive cute female trope so hilaries xD

"But it's just slapstick comedy, you're not supposed to take it seriously", how could I NOT take it seriously when the "hilarious moments" take up half of the episode and the show at the same time is trying to tell us that momma abusing Kousei = bad but Cuntori & friends abusing Kousei = good? That's not funny. That's hypocritical BS.

Oh, and why the hell is whatsherface tagging along? There's no way she doesn't know about Kousei's past (or a little bit about it at least) so why the hell does she seem to think that ABUSING HIM IS A GOOD IDEA!? Is she ignorant or just mentally retarded?

Boho, boho, and then the show is trying to make me FEEL BAD FOR KAORI BECAUSE SHE HAS AN ILLNESS AND SHE IS GOING TO DIE SOON WAAAAH! I am sorry, but that is NOT an excuse for being a retarded psycho cunt. Hitler had to commit suicide, he knew he was going to die, does that excuse the Holocaust? NO IT DOESN'T!

Anyway, I hope they will stop shoving those slapstick comedy moments and their hypocritical message down my throat, because I am already fed up with this BS.

Christ I hate Kaori. He obviously suffers when he plays but you want him to play just for you because you make presumptions like 'it's not that you can't, you won't' or 'you're just making excuses'. She doesn't give a single fuck about how HE feels, only about herself.

 It's welcomed the humor to lessen the impact of the feelz train that's gonna inevitably come jaja.

 Truth be told, Kaori, for being "going out" with Watari, she seems to be around Kousei quite a lot jaja.

 Kousei's trauma regarding his inability to play the piano is explored, moreover, it has been defined what exactly he's experiencing because we saw that it's not that he can't play, he can, but a moment comes that he just "blocks" himself, in addition that he wants to escape from playing. Something rather ironic; running away from the thing you love doing.

 In any case, the development of the characters seems to be heading in the right track. Altho, Kaori crying out of nowhere seemed like manipulation and out of place, but I don't know her story yet so... I may led that slide for now.

 PD: By now you could already feel sad by watching these kids being so good and passionate about something jajaja T_T

Kousei seemed a little clueless when asking Kaori why she was taking pictures of the waffle/pancake sweets at the beginning. Do you have to ask why girls take pictures of food? Haha.

I want to grow to love Kaori but her "violent" and pushy side seems really unattractive to me. If I had a classmate like that I don't think I could get along with her.

I find Kousei's comments that she "exists in spring" really interesting. Spring is short and sweet, and in Japan cherry blossoms are loved so much partially because they have such short but beautiful lives. The spring and cherry blossom imagery combined with the hints of Kaori being ill doesn't bode well.

Thus far the storyline is quite improbable and I find the drama manipulative for the most part. Also, as a former music school student, some parts just make me want to facepalm: such as Kaori individually choosing her set piece and appointing Kousei as her accompaniment. Where are the adult figures anyway? Also the public giving them a standing ovation (once again) was a really unnecessary stretch. So are the "spring" quotes: a blatant set up for what's to come later in the series (chanced upon the spoilers somewhere),
Admittedly, there are some tidbits I like, such as Kousei's struggle with his childhood trauma, but everything else I just find a bit obnoxious and predictable. Might still continue watching: I'll let the 4th episode settle that for me.

I feel sorry for Tsubaki as she loves kousei. Whereas he looks at her as a big sister. Sad story of Arima kousei.
Pointing him as her accompanist was a very brave thing to do . Knowing that he can't play the piano but I think she wants to get out of that fear and push himself harder. Beautiful animation and concept .

Loved the episode.

Hey... The Engrish for the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star song was not so bad!

Ah, so that's the other problem, Kousei can't hear his piano's sound whenever he gets fixated and focused on playing the piano.

Finally, for once, an actual touching moment with a few feels and no tsundere-Kaori between Kousei and Kaori when Kaori was practically begging Kousei to be her accompanist. It's good that Kousei accepted that. Especially after she told him her reason for her existence which is to play so that others who heard her play will never forget about her ever and she'll be remembered forever in their hearts. She even cried for that- Wait a minute... Cry?!

Oh shit... First, she visited the hospital, then her reason for her existence is as if she wants people to remember her forever and she even cried when she told Kousei her reason. I can be as dense as tungsten and say that "Meh, she's probably just visiting someone at the hospital and her reason might just be that" But nope. I can see this death flag on her.

Oh no...
