| I was kinda jumping out of my seat when i heard Kaori speak german. NEIN! JA! :D |
| HE SAID IT!!!! "I had you" YES YES!!!! :3 |
 |
 |
| ugh, all this foreshadowing. she pretty much asked him to confess. and doesn't she know he is becoming extremely dependent on her? wait, so is the rest of the show him being her accompanist since he didn't pass in the piano comp? really hope not. also he is gonna have the top pianist in japan teach him? !!! |
 |
| Man, right in the feeeels. I once knew a girl like that so this story is hitting me right where it hurts. And the art is so incredibly beautiful. I have to pick up the manga once the anime is over and luckily it's getting an English release in the spring. |

| <====3 <— This episode. |
 |
| Friend A let out the bomb. Kaori spouting some death flag bullshit.Obviously she has the same illness as Kousei's Mother! Also anyone know the name of the OST? Fuck I want it!! I'm literally running out of compliments for this Anime..Fantastic episode non stop since the First week. |
 |
| Can anyone tell me what was the song on the confession scene? btw: Death flags :'{ |
 |
| At this point I do hope Kaori dies. Not because I hate her (although I'm not fond of her either), but not only would it leave a bigger impact on the plot, but also because Kousei has become too reliant on her and has developed tunnel vision. I really didn't like how he dedicated his entire performance for her and didn't care at all about Tsubaki or Watari. That was ignorant/ungrateful. |
| God Damn it...........well I knew that this moment would be coming sooner or later when I started watching (grabs box of tissues). |

Almaironn said: Wait what everyone is throwing the term death flag around. I dont want to sound like a huge noob, but I guess there is no avoiding it now - whats a death flag? Is Kaori going to die? Why would you think that? Because she said shes not going to be around at the end? That could mean she is leaving or something. "Flags" are usually signs that a certain plot twist will occur. People are saying that a "death flag" triggered because the anime showed that: 1) Kaori went to the hospital 2) She had a lot of medicine in her hospital room 3) She said several things that are pointing into the direction that she won't be there any longer to accoompany Kousei. Especially points 1 and 2 are indicating a "death flag" and not that she is just going away somewhere else |

In a way..Kousei hasn't still fully moved on from his Trauma with his mother. That's evident with him still being unable to hear notes. I also think that his love for Kaori is just a Admiration from the start that turned into love..Because she's the Ideal musician Kousei wanted to be. He's using it as a new found drive to ignore the truth and still stuck in the past. I hope the Sensei would be the third party that would reveal the Perspective of the mother and completely wipe the slate clean for Kousei. |

| This was definitely my favourite Episode of this show so far. Nice insert song at firefly scene, love it! Let's all hope for a miracle to happen at the end! This show induces a lot of emotions ... |
| Hmm it was a good episode! I don't like this death flags I'm seeing... ;_; so his piano is nice and clean now :) |
| Great character development this episode! I loved the hero analogy and how Kousei basically just said "Yeah, I'm normal, oh well." Also, Hiroko is awesome; I hope she gets a lot of screentime. I don't even know if I've jumped on the KouseixKoari ship, but I really don't like all these death flags, especially when it looks like they might actually get somewhere. Stahp it nao! |
 |
| Kousei confessed?!?! He sorta did I guess? Kaori seems quite off, she seemed to raise a death flag. Nooooooo, don't leave Kousei behind like his mum! D: |
:)  |
| Wow those lightning bugs that Kaori described were so allegory to her current situation about wanting to shine and then fading away. Also looks like a major death flag has been raised with that last line she said. I hope she doesn't die if she really is dying..... |
 |
| Man oh man, definitely seeing Kaori's death flag raised nice and high. Besides that though I really loved OST in this episode and all the lighting bugs were gorgeous. |
now playing :: tides of man - keep me safe  |
| Wow that mother went from "He's my treasure" to bitch slapping the fuck out of him for not being absolutely perfect. |

| To people who say Kousei confessed in a way to Kaori, he didn't. He simply just expressed his gratitude to her for helping him stay by his side and teaching him the ways to get back on his feet. Don't worry, the time will definitely come where Kousei will happily confess those three words to Kaori with a "I love you". |
|
| Had to rewatch a few last minutes to understand that 'death flag' everyone is speaking of. No more watching serious shows while drunk I guess :/ |
| "Heroes don't succumb, heroes don't crumble." I think that blond guy hasn't watched enough hero shows, heroes crumble plenty, it's those heroes that are the most fun to watch, and that's what makes this series worthwhile to watch, not the romance which I honestly think kind of sucks, the struggle that Arima's going through. Now the question remains, will further tragedy ensue in the form of Kaori? Which will form him into an even better pianist. Or are they just raising smoke screens with Kaori? My money is on her dieing, and even though I dislike how Kaori toys with Arima, even I consider that a too heavy of a price to pay. |
| Doesn't it reach the point where a death flag is so obvious that it can't be a death flag? I seriously doubt that she will die. I do believe something will affect her, but not to the extent of dying. The amount of hints and clues being thrown out is making it obvious that the obvious isn't the obvious. :^) |
| Anyone know the song that plays when Kaori asks what Kousei leans on and he says "I had you"? |

mugiwara84 said: "Heroes don't succumb, heroes don't crumble." I think that blond guy hasn't watched enough hero shows [...] That was a reference to Ping Pong. "Heroes don't succumb, heroes don't crumble." Its not that heroes are perfect beings, but we think of them as if they are. One that break rules and goes beyond the "impossible". As long we see those qualities in someone, it is a hero (for us). Inugirlz said: Wow that mother went from "He's my treasure" to bitch slapping the fuck out of him for nothing being absolutely perfect. I sense that everybody will love okaa-san after we get to know more about her (no, I didn't read the manga, but since this anime leaves a lot of trails each episode, its natural to suspect a lot of things everytime) Kaioshin_Sama said: It's more that every scene has to be made to look like the most profound life changing and monumental thing ever in the anime even if it's just a low key matter of fact scene in the manga. Everything must be dressed up and run through some glossy filter with the most idealized background settings and visual cues to give people those "feels" they so treasure and seem to derive some sort of emotional drive from. IMO nothing is allowed to breathe and speak for itself and the true moments that matter are never allowed to shine cause absolutely everything is overwrought and overstylized. Just another example of Japan's tendency to overkill everything. Thats some sick stuff you said but yeah, you're mostly right, but this isn't by any mean "Japan's tendency to overkill everything". Those problems you mentioned are literally everywhere in the world, be it at your average hollywood film or in an amateur's production. yaHzee said: Doesn't it reach the point where a death flag is so obvious that it can't be a death flag?

| Kaori's last line in the episode!! SAY IT AINT SO, CHARLIE BROWN!! :(((( |
You can just be yourself. Do things your own way, one step at a time. You'll get there. Just be yourself, you'll be fine." ~Fruit Basket |
| The new character is nice. Knows him since he was little and now is gonna... teach him the piano. I get what that meant, but still, it was a bit weird. Friend A-kun and Kaori playing again, good. It seems it isn't exactly a competition, but that should be fun. And the fucking death flags, THEY'RE EVERYWHERE. Like, damn, that's enough, we already got the message, her health's not ok. At this point they might as well kill the girl already (JK JK pls don't!! T.T). |
| fuck fuck fuck fuck shes going to die no nono eon ononoonono |

I need to get my hands on it ASAP!  Reading the ending credits my assumption would be the song by ENA? Even though I know, I still haven't been able to find it anywhere yet. They did pretty well to portray his frustrations as a normal boy, and Aiza's recognition of that was done so much better than in the manga here. I loved the way they introduced Hiroko and Koharu. As for why Kousei's mother changed her mind about letting him become a pianist, well.... I guess you'll all have to wait and see his performance at the Gala Concert ;) As for his "I had you".... I keep wondering if he actually said it out loud, or if it was just part of his monologue.... hrm.... death flags, death flags everywhere... By the way, the moment Kaori turned Chibi and jumped off the bridge was gif-worthy. Could someone please help me make that? XD |

Seems like the OST in this episode is also made by her. Who ever this "ENA" is..I want her song! |

| Ah, very good episode. Hirioko is awesome, looks like she'll act like somewhat of a replacement mother. Yeah, Kousei lost, but he look'd relieved. I bet he'd prefer to suck at piano than to go back to being his mom's robotic slave, which is what Takeshi doesn't understand. Kousei is indeed just a human, though i never thought Takeshi's admiration was that high. I loved the OST that played during Kousei's ''confession''. I loved the whole scene with the fireflies as well. Tsubaki getting madder and madder, which is always a plus. 5/5 |

| the ending to this episode made this series my favorite of the season. sad kaori's death will deff be a major boost to the story. also a request, can anyone make a signature gif of when they were standing on the in the last few minutes and the art style changed and the wind blew  |
| If anyone wonders the OST that was played on Kaori with Kousei scene, It's called "For you ~ Tsuki no Hikari ga Furisosogu Terrace" by ENA and it will be released on January 21, 2015 with their full album. http://vgmdb.net/album/49046 Man, these feels and emotion on this episode felt so real. The scene where Kousei sorta confesses his feelings is very great and beautiful, I am regretting myself for reading the manga until the current chapter due the curiosity of what will happens to Kaori >,< Great episode as usual, Next 2 episode is going to be filled with lot of dramas, we will find out the reason why his mother forced him to be that way and i can't wait for Kousei's next performance which will be absolutely amazing |
 |
| Oh shit, that insert song was really well timed. Especially when they paused it and then played it after his confession. The fireflies scene was outstanding. This show really knows how to use it's OST effectively and that goes out to the entire episode. Otherwise, this episode was mostly a breather/cooldown episode from the past two intense ones, which is decent too. Hyped for the gala now. Those performances better be good! ^_^ |
| Arima was pretty cool even if he didn't advance (it was pretty obvious he wasn't going to anyways). I love Seto-san omg. She's really awesome!! I can't wait to see more interactions between her and Arima. So, Kaori's last line... I wonder if she's referring to her medical issues? Also, wow... this anime has a ton of really cheesy/cliché lines, but somehow the animation and music make it work?? |
| new guardian is pretty cool. i love these op chars who come in and are all laddy dah but in reality, they're the best of the best. im preppin for all the soon feels |

A couple of deathflags doesn't indicate that someone is automatically going to die just like that. Just keep watching to find out. Unless you're the producer of the show then you know fully well what the insight of the future holds within' this anime. |
