I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

he seriously shouldn't feel any guilt for telling the woman that has been terrorizing him, for his ENTIRE childhood, off. hate parents that use their kids to get off through the child's achievements >:(

Emi is freaking adorable as a kid :3

Great performance overall for Emi imo. She deserved that standing ovation. I thought Emi might of confessed to Kousei this episode though. That would of been amusing It looks like Arima is finally going to play the piano. Been waiting for this for awhile although Arima struggling with the piano because of his past doesn't surprise me.

God this show is heartbreaking. Kousei's final interaction with his mother, the way she treats him comes totally out of left field and depicts her vile character so well. The flashbacks, the underwater piano again, just gorgeous, heartbreakingly so.

Kousei's past was even sadder than I though like we know that his mother scold him and beat him but I didn't thought that she would take it this far to attack her son in front of the public like she don't care, And I know that Kousei kept on enduring it but then he had enough with it and said to his mother "I wish you would just die." and it was his last words to his mother before she dies, To be honest I was shocked when he said that to her I know he endured her for a long time but I didn't thought he would tell this to his mother. saddest episode for me so far.

Arima started very good but the trauma of his mother is pulling him back. He got encouraged, motivated but still his mother's fear is still present. Long way to go to fully recover but I wanted to know the outcome of this competition.

I think this show portrays trauma very well. The same scenes and phrases haunting the victim, the same trigger ruining them; and the rollercoaster of trauma events & encoraging words or actions from Kosei's friends and rivals is really good in showing that there's no magic trick to instantly re-learn traumatic responses. If they pulled and typical shonen and made Kosei quickly recover in a blink of an eye because friendship and dreams and so on, that would be quite disappointing. So far, i like how they treat this topic. We'll see how it will develop.

Ah yes, Emi was magnificent in her performance and adorable in her childhood. Also it's cool how there are people with the same passion - music - but different approaches. I hope we'll see more of these side characters.

No surprise that she is abusive. She deserves to die! Why must Arima continue to suffer from her memory?

Also, by way of parallelism that a number of medications were shown, it is likely that Kaori has the same illness as his mother. :(

Despite everything, the writers have him make no progress at all.

Why do they have to create fake drama?

This arch started well, with him working to overcome his issues, with to rivals that had incredible performances, but even though he is inspired, he just flops.

Don't tell me they are setting up having his rivals help get him on his feet again, that would be defeating the point of them being his rivals.

They become friends, then who is he going to compete against? Himself?

I was at least hoping he would push though to the end of the performance, but we don't even hear his performance.

I guess they want him to fail over and over.

Disappointing.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Demasiado dramático para mi gusto, pero bueno. Igual es interesante
