| Asuka-sempai is moving on. Glad she took the failure well. Poor Reina, now the hate is on her. Now, she finally revealed her reasons why she entered the school, and did she just confessed her feelings? She loves Taki-sensei?! Now Taki and Reina are on the hot sit together LOL. What? Did I got it right? A second audition between Kaori and Reina?! |

| So many annoying and frustrating things in this episode, I even forgot about what Reina said about Taki-sensei until I read this thread. Yuko really need to shut up, like seriously. She talked/complained about favoritism here, but I wonder if she's going to pick for Reina over Kaori-senpai in the second audition, if(and when) Reina plays way better than Kaori. She really needs to learn a thing or two from Natsuki. But oh well, we all know that Reina won't give up on her position that easy. Farabeuf said: Another very good episode. I thought that the Sensei handled the whole thing extremely badly. He should have enforced his will there and then, making it clear that he's professional and that he chose Reina because she was better, and that if anyone was butthurt about it, the door was wide open. There is no way he should have opened up for a second audition. He can't be undermined every time someone gets their panties in a bunch because their beloved senpai didn't get their role. Also agree very much with this. |
| I love how KyoAni play with shoujo-ai fans :) |
    |
| I feel bad for Kaori (she's a nice character and I like her) but I hope Reina wins even the second one. I just want to see Yuko get butthurt even more :P She's so annoying. Kumiko is just too cute <3 I love her so much >.< Her "U're so cute" to Reina and her reaction to Asuka's tickles were so kawaii :3 Lol at Asuka saying she doesn't give a damn XD |
 |
| Hahaha the SHIPS ARE REAL xD I love Kousaka, but daaaaamn I want Kaori to win the next audition. It's not only that she made a statement like that in public (I am better) but she also dissed Kaori when talking with Oumae (dem hugs though). I would love a comeback here but taking Kousakas character into account along with the fact she practices just as much + the scene were Taki-sensei is told that "music doesn't lie" all will lead to everyone accepting Kousaka is superior :| Still a comeback from Kaori would be the best twist imo!! (Along with Oumae confessing to Kousaka. Ok ok fanboy mode off) |
 |
| Man, Yuko is an annoying bitch. I get it that you want your friend to be the soloist because it's her last year and thats nice but jesus .. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| GOD FUCK YUKO, FUCKING BUTTHURT LIKE CRAZY. SHES NOT EVEN CLOSE TO REINA IN TERMS OF SKILLS SO SHE NEEDS TO SHUT HER FUCKING MOUTH . Anyways bitches be gossiping, why cant everyone be like Asuka and just play music. Honesstly if i was taki sensei , i would have dropped yuko for creating a scene that led to so much missed practice days. That way people who really wanna play music wouldnt bother creating a scene like FUCKING YUKO. Reina is obviosuly gonna win next episode and then people will see. I feel bad for Kaori though Cloudy said: Still a comeback from Kaori would be the best twist imo!! That will ruin the respect for taki sensei though as it will make it look like he indeed did play favourites so i dont see the show going that way |
| Shirayuki= Most Perfect Female MC ever |
This was definitely the best episode thus far showing how each of the characters are handling their own internal conflicts in addition to us viewers getting a glimpse at another side of Asuka, Reina, as well as Taki-sensei. It was about time they showed a spit valve being emptied. |

| Ok, already last episode I felt the Shoujo-ai dying, and I can live with that, easily. What I'm frustrated about is the drama, which is "OK" by itself (rumors and such) but Sensei, sensei.... Taki-sensei....... a new audition...? Thats just stupid. (Still not shipping Kumiko and Shuichi :P) |
| You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me |
| It seems that Taki-Sensei could have a plan to have re-audition front of all the club members to begin with, I guess. He is a son of a famous musician who is a friend of Kosaka's father, and you know, the speed spreading bad rumors can be almost subsonic speed. He knew what would happen after the first audition. The most impressed part in this episode to me is, that moment the words by Matsumoto-Sensei, the vice adviser of the club encouraging Taki-Sensei. Matsumoto: Music is nice. You can't lie. You can only admit when something sounds good. As far as I can remember, your father was of the same opinion, too.  She usually tend to be overbearing, but this time, she didn't say what and how he should do. She just gave a hint. I guess her words finally pushed him to decide to have another audition again. IMO, the next audition is nothing but a useless event if you see it from a logical view point, still is an indispensable open ceremony to show off the ability of Kosaka to the club members who don't believe her. |

Nakagawa for best girl. This girl treats her junior to a milkshake and doesn't seem to hold a grudge against Oumae. She even made a sweet note on Oumae's music sheet. What's there not to like about her. She's perfect. |
| LOL |
おれはPigAmericanです おれはばか i am average american man i enjoy bad game runescape |
| The moments where they began ranting and start being honest were great, especially with Natsuki and Reina going off like that. The other teacher did a wonderful job prompting Taki-sensei to do something about this whole mess. Playing in front of everybody for the 2nd round. It is nice for Kaori, though, as with this, there would be no doubts left. Now for everyone who had something to say to accept defeat gracefully after the audition. |
 |
| Yuko was being a total butthurt for being hung up on Kaori not getting the solo parts. The other girls were also being annoying bitches for circulating baseless rumors about Taki-sensei. As if he's the type of person who'd play favorites. >.< I guess he didn't have much of a choice but to hold a second audition just so the students would STFU. Really hope Reina still gets to keep her solo parts. Loved how confidently she stood her ground, though it was a bit arrogant. The ReiMiko ship is pretty much destroyed with Reina confessing her feeling for Taki-sensei. But it'd be great if her feelings stay unrequited so the Yuri ship will still be at bay, even if not sailing at full speed. Asuka got less screentime again, unfortunately, but she was awesome nonetheless. I like how openly she said she doesn't really care about who plays solo or whatever. So chill.. So best girl! ~ Decent episode. Even though I'm not in full support for the second audition, hoping that Natsuki and Hazuki would click in this time around.  |

| I hope they make Reina X Taki happen. |
| My yuri couple... </3 :'c I still think Kousaka-san will get the solo though. Ah, and get lost already Yoshikawa-san. |
 |
| What the hell Reina. |
SierraM363 said: Reina confesses to Taki sensei, gets shot down and Kumiko goes in for the rebound *Probably not going to happen but one can dream* Don't get your hopes up. Kyoani made the anime different from the novel when it comes to character interactions. |

jonjoy said: I hope they make Reina X Taki happen. Meh, he'll probably just blow it off. Figure it just puppy love crush from a school girl who like older mature men. LOL, everyone dissing Reina and Kumiko shippers as crazy. LOL, Teacher student shipping in Anime is even more obscure. While, i would totally ship Reina and Kumiko, Ive already said that it's most likely more of a "kismet" platonic relationship. Reina seems very "awkward" in her social relationships. She avoids them. I think she feels a special bond to Kumiko, so Reina really clings to her disproportionally to what normal interactions are in female friendships. I think Kumiko also feels a bond to her due to the past and present on how their fates seem to be intertwined. Bakken said: Ok, already last episode I felt the Shoujo-ai dying, and I can live with that, easily. What I'm frustrated about is the drama, which is "OK" by itself (rumors and such) but Sensei, sensei.... Taki-sensei....... a new audition...? Thats just stupid. (Still not shipping Kumiko and Shuichi :P) I agree that it seems so disrespectful to Taki-sensei to outright question his integrity. Those girls were getting out-of-control with the Butthurt. But in order to get the "mean girls" back stabbing gossip to stop, I guess Taki sensei decided to put the onus on Koari to stop the crap gossip one way or another. So now we got us a Trumpet blow off. May the Best Trumpet Blower win. |

| Man the salt was real in this episode.....Damn girls and their stupid rumors all because they're mad because they weren't good enough I really hope that Kousaka wins again because I cannot stand that stupid girl complaining for her friend -_- |
| Club activities are serious business! Really, if you are so desperate to play, there's nothing stopping you from doing it after high school. I wonder if there are actual teenagers in Japan with these bizarre notions of life basically ending after graduation. You'd think they get indentured into slavery at 18 or something. It was nice having Nakagawa being an adult about it, even if the music during her scene was a bit too dramatic for my taste. |

Kumiko's a cutie :3 So many disappointed people XD I almost feel bad for liking Kumiko x Shuichi. |

| Kyoani still baits in this episode and condolence to the yuri shippers. But, to be serious, I'm glad that this episode developed Taki-sensei and Natsuki and others and man a showdown between Reina and Kaori next time! But tbh, like Asuka, i don't care who is better and not caring who will win as long as these two can have some developments.

| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| So even Reina can be unlikable when she is angry - her reaction was pretty ill-considered and short-tempered, she pretty lost it and even looked priggish. Ofc, that's not to say things like this don't happen in the real life, quite contrary. But I was really surprised she showed how insecure is she about her leading position. Or more likely, it had to do with her infatuation for Taki-sensei. People loose their judgment when dealing with things concerning their loved-ones. The pressure has to be immense. And gossip can be pretty hard as we saw in second part of the episode it would be really hard for her to get along with others after this incident as they won't be helping her a bit, actually, quite contrary - rivalry will be omnipresent. And from teacher perspective this situation is pretty hard to solve if he doesn't want to loose his authority (which he lost a bit when he yelled unnecesary after they packed those carpets. But then again, this only shown it was bit strain for him too). It seems that Asuka is really favoring Kaori even that she doesn't admit it (why would she when she knows Kumiko is favoring Reina). In the end, Taki-sensei find the best possible solution available, winning back his authority quickly which was essential. I'm just curious whether those second auditions turn into blind favouring friend or picking the better, that would be the most crucial part of the selection. |
animefan8800 said: I felt really bad for Kaori. She acknowledges Reina was better, doesn't complain, and even tells Yuko not to press the issue...which of course she does, making a scene resulting in Reina laying a verbal smackdown on the no doubt embarrassed girl. I woulda freaked out on Yuko for doing that if I were her. As if that wasn't bad enough, now she gets to suffer even more humiliation when the whole band inevitably picks Reina over her anyway next week, the poor girl. I would disagree with you here. Kaori could have shut down this very easily. Note that she was still practicing the solo part? She was actually being very sly in getting her juniors to do the dirty work while she could act all indignant. She could also have refused to try out for the solo as well. |
 |
| most of what I read here is hate for Yuko and butt-hurted yuri shippers. LoL, you can barely see romance in the series. The hell with the that :P |
 |
| even the ship was cleary sunk, the people still cling to hope... god are you guys M? anyhow not only is the episode is salty, the people on the forums are salty as well |
 |
| This show is getting better and better. I love how Natsuki starts talking about the competition when Yumiko is about to drink ww And Reina is damn cute in this episode <3 |

 |
| Yuko really is a bitch... wow. Imo sensei didn't really do anything wrong, he's just getting shit on by everyone. I think redoing the audition is a bad this especially because now it is everyone voting and, obviously, Reina isn't going to win because almost no one likes her, especially after last week's incident. Oh and Kyoani destroyed our hopes of Kumiko x Reina. rip. |
| Yuri route denied, fuck this shitty show. |

Asuka is a lot more complex than I gave he credit for. I wonder where she really stands on the issue. While i totally agree with you about everything, but maybe Taki-sensei started to think that he could have been biased there. Of course, it can just be him being bad at handling the class again. He already proved that he may know about music, but he has no tact at all and can't manage the class very well. |

Lollo36 said: mangakam said: But Reina was clear about his feelings for Taki Sensei Shippers gonna ship one sided confession of her means nothing. series has done a pretty good job so far at being realistic, would love to see taki sensei talk to her in an adult manner and tell her that this is silly and she should forget about that, no awkward scene or anything. |
| The dream is dead. Good episode this week. It was pretty realistic how all the other students acted - how they responded to the rumor(which was confirmed to be true), bullying others for getting picked(like the part with Kumiko at the beginning of the episode), etc. And then we have Natsuki. She's great. I love how mature she is. I can sympathize with Kaori. She really wants that solo, but Reina is very skilled and has a lot of confidence. Whatever the case, next week's episode is going to be very interesting. At this rate, won't Kaori win just based on a popularity contest? Also, Asuka has personality issues. She's wearing a mask and needs to be more honest with people. At least that makes for a very interesting character. |
| Another great episode. This show keeps on proving to me that it's by and far one of the best this season. |
| lol, this episode was great, loved reinas getting mad, that was adorable and then asuka getting mad about the whole audition crap lol, dat water bottle scene doe :p |
| Didn't realize Yuuko would turn out to be such a terrible character. Kaori-senpai is well aware of the fact that Reina is better than her yet she just had to take the opportunity of the re-run for the audition. This will give her the chance to prove herself. Natsuki-senpai couldn't have asked for more love, now could she? Remember that it is not because of Kumiko that she didn't make it. All three of the Eupho could have passed the audition. The limit was 55 members altogether. It just means that there are 54 other who were better than her with their instruments. The way she accepted it makes her an okay character, but the way she broke Kumiko's concerns that shouldn't have any basis in the first place made her an admirable character. Their conversation was the best part of the episode. Off Topic: Not really wanted to point this out but I have noticed the novel's official web page has SIX characters listed as main characters — our four girls from the anime and Shuuichi (kind of makes sense) AND Asuka-senpai(?) Does she play a bigger role in the novel? I would think the sixth one would be Taki-sensei but it isn't. Also, CR and their mistakes. In episode 9: When Kumiko clearly says she is bummed too when Midori is depressed — Midori miraculously gets translated to Hazuki. In episode 10: Reina clearly says Taki-sensei's father is a famous concert band instructor — and now Taki-sensei is a famous concert band instructor himself. I wasn't planning to point out the mistakes but I read a comment above me that made me realize that translations mistakes will create wrong understanding. On Topic: I think I fell in love with Kumiko. |
