| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Great ep. Not much else to say, except the music in this series has really been quite pleasing. Isn't that noticeable at first, but there's been a good variety over the eps and its pretty good too. |
| "...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth') |
| A very moving episode. Apparently there is no limit to the tones or themes this series can explore. Feels great. |

| Keaton's empathy was wasted on an asshole like him. What a dick. |

| Beautiful melody my ass it was full of dissonance lmao was like a grade schooler tryna compose something polyharmonic and failing Edit: L0l I actually agree with the father a broken washing mashine legit sounds better if you've seen Virtual Riot's streams. |

| While I liked this episode, I couldn't get over the fact that the way the father reacted is more typical of Japanese culture than british. The ideas that music is a profession for woman and that men are worthless unless they follow in the footsteps of their fathers are very much Japanese culture things. This is something that bothered me when I watched the first few episodes of Monster too, the doctors and the culture around them were very much more japanese in their customs and actions, than western. While the author of these two mangas can write compelling stories he doesn't seem to have a very good grasp on western culture and how it is different from Japanese culture. |

I find it very interesting how the mangaka interprets other cultures from a Eastern perspective. It's sort of a fusion of East and West. The shows/mangas very much retain eastern ethos |

| overall i liked the episode as usual but... fuck that old man, got his son traumatized so badly he can't lead a normal life without getting shit from his dad no one single apology from the old bish. boo hoo he went bankrupt! *exhales* whew man this stuff got me triggered also i agree that the melody was a bit too simple and it was a weird reaction to choosing a music career coming from a british noble man |
| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| This was like a radio drama. Nothing that happened onscreen was important to understanding the story, just 3 characters talking about the past and present. Even the animation was pretty static. |
| The subtitles on the DVD has Robert's secretary call him "Sir Fenders" but while these days it is cultural figures who get knighthoods he's quite young and he said he's only been successful for the past year so there's no way he'd get knighted for that. In Japanese she just said "Fenders-san" so I don't know why it was subtitled like that. Enjoy nitpicking! As for the episode, I thought it was a bit schmaltzy. |
| Well, good episode I liked this one. though I feel like episodes are getting better, I have a much harder time not getting bored. For a change I kind of switched from sub to dub. Dub of this episode made a good first impression for me. Lets see how the rest goes. maybe the dub will keep me more invested in it or atleast I hope so |
