Ah they're going back to some music themes now. Less drama and more music art. Yup, I like the show when it's in this direction. Funny at how the kids use their little devices to spy on others though

And the yutaka at the festival looked cute this episode.

Another person that has same "problem" like Serizawa... Physically.
What a lovely duet (or maybe duel?) they're having, even it's just for a few seconds. But really... That grumbling stomach sure ruin the moment. LOL

Kind of a downer episode. I kinda hate her Grandfather and Kusakabe for telling her to quit her dream due to eye problems. Sure they'd worsen over time, but that's no reason to give up. I guess they were simply trying to lookout for her, but it's a shame really. Reminds me of another series airing this season. Do ivory keys make up for it? No, still left as a downer.

Seems Grandpa licked his granddaughter more then his own children judging by what he did with the piano.
Well i can't blame him after hearing the story from his granddaughter.
In any case it was a nice episode.

According to ANN, the next episode is the last one. It looks like it's also anime-original story but it's nothing surprising :(

I'm glad they used Moomim Valley joke. It's funny how Serizawa got the most development despite not even being in the band though.

Take me to Moomin Valley!!! Lol, someone's obsessed like me when I was younger

That was interesting, I liked resolution in this episode, I laughed as well :) "I lost the key." Best last message to your granddaughter. Serizawa learning from this was also nice as well.

I still would like more development/background story with Kusakabe, but one more episode isn't going to cut it for that.

Well it was more interesting than usual. Like GoldenDevil said though I couldn't really care about the blind woman very much, it felt like they copied Nao's backstory, which in my opinion seems a bit lazy.

I'm sure it's been said before, and I've been thinking it since the first episode, but man is their teacher boring. No personality whatsoever. Is it like a rule that high school music teachers have to be robots or is that only when they play the stock older love interest?

Kusakabe's acquaintance appears who, like Serizawa, has an impairment. Doubting that they're going to at least add more about Kusakabe for sake of the plot, I'm hoping it ends well. And lol at the Moomin line.

I liked the flow of this episode. It had such a parallel to Serizawa, and the moral that even the worst of tragedies can be turned around with enough willpower! There was also a bit more info about Kusakabe (and how much of a dick he was when he was in the pro circle). We didn't really get a resolution to that conflict with Makoto v Kusakabe, so I guess we'll just assume they worked it out?

I could stand to watch an entire episode set in that festival at the end. The outfits and little details were all so amazing. Akari swinging Chika's hand!

Let her look right through you.

Broke into uncontrollable laughter at Haruta and Chika's "Yamada" and "Tanaka" XD The most common surnames. They said it with straight faces and without hesitation too.

Omg next week Haruta's gonna confess?? Will we find out Kusakabe-sensei's mystery?

"I'm Serizawa.
I'm Yamada.
I'm Tanaka."
Lol I loved this. Such common names, they are like english's "John" and "Michael"

I liked how carefree the message was, I'm glad it wasn't something dramatic. I liked this episode, it was sweet. Also, some development for Serizawa <3

I wonder if both of them will end up confessing to sensei, would be nice. Looking forward to it.

My thoughts in a nutshell

I really liked the granddaughter tho and I felt really bad after learning about her eye condition :(

Still, the reveal about the key had me dying xD

I'm glad that music was the main focus for this episode. Makoto's got some great skills as she dueted with Serizawa, but it's also a shame that, like Serizawa, she has an impairment too, but with her eyes instead of her ears. Shame about the condition, however I was happy to hear that at least Serizawa's good ear has almost fully recovered. =D

Upon being busted by Makoto for listening on her conversation with Kusakabe earler, only Serizawa was honest in telling her true name. Haruta & Chika using fake names was amusing though. =)

And of course, seeing Akari having more screentime is awesome! Maybe someday, she can travel to the Moomin Valley for real. =P

Next week should be really interesting, with Haruta going full steam ahead with confessing his feelings for Kusakabe. Will he succeed, or will he fail?

So basically this built up the tension for the next episode ehh? Next episode we have confession? Holy shit!? And it seems double at that?

Watching those two together has been a fun time. I wonder what's gonna be the end of the ride like.

Can somebody tell me if what happens next episode is canon though?

"Funaskin"

It's SNUFKIN and MOOMIN VALLEY you fucking FUNIcuck subbers. Do your research, it shouldn't even be that hard considering how popular Moomin is in Japan

Are they mentally challenged or do they just enjoy disrespecting other cultures?

Well, I liked it. Whatever else we learned about him aside, when it was revealed that her grandfather had given her the one thing of his that she valued and left a big "Screw You" to the rest of the world it appealed directly to my sense of humor :)

I long ago got over that their teacher is a background character, or expecting much out of the individual "mysteries" (though I think they've gotten better in the second half). It's moments like when those two respond in unison with fake names that keep my interest.

Episode with the usual format, even if a small step forward is taken in interpersonal relationships between the main characters, I appreciate this small effort, but in general remains a bit boring episode, if it were not for Chika and the newcomer. Drawings and animations in the media, we see how close the season, I'm curious.

Never heard of either Snufkin or Moomin Valley... Japanese tend to change a syllable or two in copyright referencing, it's just kinda normal there. I don't think there's any violation or anything that they're afraid of, it's probably more to just avoid trouble.

I'm really hating this series a lot.

That aside, that was some incredibly quality melodica playing. I wonder what model that is, that's one of the best I've heard. You know, unless it's digital. Which would suck.

Quite funny this ep, plus meaningful development of Serizawa mirroring Snufkin's disability, & Snufkin vs Sensei issues. Still not clear what's their relationship, adopted child, sister or what. And why Sensei left BSO.
Excellent duet, first time hearing piano x melodica. Really needs a full version, past the stomach growl.
"I lost the key" braille was lol, Granpa such a pain in the butt.
Chika still such a ball of fun. Deer jumps out her hair!
Gotou a moomin fan. Nice yukatas & cute moments. Haru with salty egg man mask.
