| Compared to the previous episodes, this one isn't as entertaining... but at least we know Kousei is on the track of coming back as a piano player. |

| I can't handle all these fellz. If the osanananijimi loses , I'm jumping off this boat. I can't take the precious love of childhood friends not being answered again. |
| damn the feels just multiply now I'm seeing this animated. Mehn all this romance is a recipe for disaster. I'm still rooting for Tsubaki though. Childhood Friend FTW !!!! |

| Hmmmhm.... This episode kind of underwhelming compared to the last one, though... I don't really like the way they put way too many comical animations in this eps. And, the love drama part in shigatsu is my least favourite part after all, so it's normal for me to feel this eps is underwhelming... Oh, and the death flag tho. Last part with Kaori and Kousei isn't really bad if it isn't because of the usual out of place comedy. Despite that, I still find myself enjoying this series. Ofc, this eps will be rated lower than before. 3/5 is enough, I think. Can't wait for the competition though, Can't wait to see |

y123y said: I have seen many posts complaining that the MC is a wimp (for lack of a better word). But maybe he would be like the MC of Guilty Crown where he starts of as a wimp, and then halfway through the anime he becomes this tough guy. Maybe it can happen to the male MC of this anime and he starts playing the piano with tons of fury, and with a mean and anti-nice face. =D He should throw Tsubaki in the river, at least. |

| I wasn't feeling it this episode. At all. Kousei's positive reaction to what should be another trauma on top of his trauma makes no sense whatsoever. I mean, forcing someone to confront their problems in the wrong way (which is what happened) can lead to suicide. I am totally against the message this show is propagating at this point. The art was pretty bad on and off throughout the episode and the cringey comedy is still around too. The love triangle doesn't seem to be doing anything new either. Eh. Weakest episode yet. |
| I feel like every episode I have to comment on how well everything is described. How every word spoken is like intricate poetry and it just paints a huge picture...on top of the huge picture. OST was also very good this episode. Matched each scene incredibly well. |
| This episode setting up a love triangle it will be interesting to see how it goes in further episode. Maybe Kousei can finally start playing the piano. Overall an interesting episode. |

judojon said: Another decent episode. One thing I wish the show didn't do is slip into super-deformed designs the way it does during comedic moments. I like the character designs the way they are, and the detail between the two is big enough to get jarring. That's exactly how I felt about this episode's art. Didn't like the comedic parts anyways, coupled by the too many super simplified chibi art. When Kousei started thinking all those thoughts about why Kaori isn't blaming him for messing up, etc, I was quite worried for him. As if he didn't have the trauma already and was the one being forced in the position, he was actually blaming himself for the performance. Not a good sign. However, the episode ended positively which is great and all, but I feel like most people in real life wouldn't be able to bounce back so easily. |
| LOL, the way Tsubaki threw Kousei in the water when they were young was epic XD. Ohooo, a half naked Kaori to please the eyes of the guys and they were KO-ed :3 Of course... it's Kakei's fault that Kaori passed out >.> Yeah... Tsubaki sure named quite "a few" of Kousei's qualities. "Passed out again" eh... Poor Kousei... forever alone T.T LOL, so Kaori made a scene so she should could ask Kousei to enter a piano competition as gift for her since she got out of the hospital eh. Dat ending doe... "Onii-chan!!!" XD. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| So he slowly starting to over come his fear of the playing the piano. Great episode!!! |
 |
| Ooooooooooh boy that was a good episode. So very gooooooooood. |
| I normally almost always support the 'childhood friend' but Tsubaki is too damn annoying! |
| This is one of the best shows of this season but i'm sad because I see too many death flags....I think Kaori is going to die and Kousei will become a pianist once again for fulfill her dream. I hope I'm wrong and she is seriously ill, there will be an operation or some sort of miracle, and they will live happily ever after but there are too many death flags.... :'( P.S: I haven't read the manga. |
| Seriously, I'm in love with this show. I don't have anything bad to say about it till now. Really hope it goes well. But I sense something tragic'll happen since, her health is bad. :| |
 |
| I seem to be in the minority but I just cannot stand Kaori. The way she's treating Kousei is really annoying me. Basically forcing him to play the piano when he clearly has some sort of major emotional trauma (seeing your dead mother everytime you play can't be healthy) and crying and manipulating him into doing "whatever she wants". That's not encouragement, that's just emotional manipulation. |

Even if he does want Kaori to push him and even if he does want to play the piano again, do you really think emotional blackmail is the answer? I get it... they're 14 and she probably doesn't know about the extent of his trauma. Apparently (from what other people have told me) it seems that she really wants to help him but the way the anime is portraying it just makes her seem somewhat selfish. |
| I was surprised this episode's End Card didn't say something along the lines of: "It's dangerous to jump down bridges." With that said, I guess you can call this "YOLO: The Anime". koroX said: As a guy that use glasses in a country were it rains all the time I really hate this.

I think this episode really made it clear that she wants Kousei to play the piano (maybe its nothing but a feeling of empathy). In a sane situation, nobody would meddle with other people's problems, specially when it is something a psychologist should deal with, but anime (as well any other media that work with stories) operates in a world where everything can happen. This doesn't excuse the generic characters and awful production. Every episode I watched I didn't knew if I should treat it as a melodrama, a romance or if everything is just material for later irony/comedy. |

If i'm watching an "anything can happen" anime I don't really care if the characters' personalities aren't great; I'll enjoy it nonetheless because there is so much else going on. However, an anime that basically revolves solely on the characters and their emotions, interactions and "drama" should have well fleshed out characters with a realistic range of emotions; i'm not seeing that in Kaori (or Tsubaki and Ryouta for that matter). If I treated my friends they way Kaori, Tsubaki and Ryouta treat Kousei I would have no friends. Maybe all three of them really want to help Kousei, but I just don't think the anime is doing a great job of portraying that. Like I said, it makes them all look a bit selfish. |

"Anything can happen" is just a way to express that infinite possibilites can happen in any story. Even if you are watching something that goes in a very expected way, you can't tell for sure it will.

If you're refering to the "comedy" scenes and slapsticks, then you shouldn't take them serious at all when considering everyone's personalities. They are poorly designed, awfully placed and pretty much turns the mood/break the dramatic vibe you've been building. CaptainKatsuura said: ... but I just don't think the anime is doing a great job of portraying that. Yeah, the production is bad. |
| Good. She's okay after that incident. Tsubaki is getting distracted with whats on her mind. She needs to focus what's on hand. All that talking must have made sense so that Kousei can start playing the piano again. Jumping off bridges is their style. It does make one very lively. So maybe that should push both of them to strive to do better. |
| I thought this episode will be the preparation for Kosei's piano competition? So it's too soon huh? Anyway they just followed the manga but I didn't think this would take the full episode just for that drama, But I guess it was the right thing to do. So for sure the next episode will be about Watari's Soccer Game Finals, Tsubaki's Baseball Final Games, and Kosei's Piano Competition! Can't wait for the next episode next week! |

I don't get why people make baseless arguments that a company sucks because of one show. A-1 is amazing, as they've made a lot of good anime too. I don't even recall saying I hate SAO, I just find it too boring to continue watching and it was never that great in the first place. I'm actually quite indifferent to that franchise believe it or not and don't understand the need for all the drama that surrounds it either. A-1 is also just a really mixed bag for me with mostly misses. To me there's really nothing particularly amazing about this company at all. They just get first dibs on hyped up source material a lot of the time and churn out kind of okay serviceable but rarely impressive adaptations. It's probably a matter of taste but I find most of what they do to be incredibly mediocre, kind of boring and just lacking in genuine passion with some occasional exceptions of course. Frankly I can't figure out why everyone is suddenly madly in love with the company (especially considering I know how greedy and exploitative it truly is, which seems to be a factor that has alluded most people) or why their profile seems to be taking off considering I feel they have little to show for themselves creatively even though they really seem to think they do. If everyone had the access to convenient starting points in terms of popular sources to adapt and popular (not necessarily talented, just popular) staff that they do in order to start with a noteworthy level of hype and interest level from todays younger audience then I'm not exactly convinced that they couldn't at least accomplish whatever A-1 has if not moreso because they'd probably be looking at better scheduling and more creative freedom. |

| ngl its trying too hard. |
| Jesus can walk on water. Cucumbers are 96% water. I can walk on cucumbers. I'm 96% Jesus. |
| Great ending I really hope this a great beginning for Kousei he his such a great character and that jump in the water just might make his character development stronger. |

| Nice episode. Glad to see that Kaori is alright. Kaori jumped off the bridge and so did Kousei which was nice. |

| Yeah, I cannot help it, but I really do NOT like Tsubaki. Calls him "Friend A" to a person who also likes music, to not make her have any interest (failed). Now she can't name any of his good qualities. ... yeah. I'm hoping all the way that she stays as a GOOD friend. |

| Performances are one thing, but everything else just isn't coming across well for me. As others have said, the slapstick comedy bits could not be more out of place and illogically abusive to MC(except that one scene with Watari banging on the fence, that was pretty funny), and all the set up for drama so far just feels cheap and kind of pretentious. Getting through all this with Tsubaki is going to be a drag, and it'll happen again with Watari. My biggest problem is Kaori, she just seems to be written more for the purposes of attracting viewers and forcing this character dynamic with her overly radiant personality, which makes you feel like she doesn't have the best intentions in pushing Kousei or just doesn't have a clue how to go about it properly for the sake of his trauma. -Skyleo- said: Something about Ergo Proxy I think..mayukachan said: what |
 |
| Love triangle incoming (like we haven't all seen that coming) and more cheesy dialogue (or monologue on Kousei's case). It's quite telling that the best thing that happened in this episode was the two random little girls chiding on Kousei for making Kaori cried. If only they cut all the melodramatic and the obviously trying-too-hard-to-be-poetic lines maybe we'd finally have more substance & view-worthy contents to the story. |
