| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, too bad about the soccer game. Oh well at least Ryouta tried right? I suppose the emotional build up for Kousei is still there if relating to his past especially with his mother. Sigh. Oh well, we also get some relationship building between Kaori and Kousei. Cute. Still, I hope Kousei can get over his fear soon... I am very happy to see Emi this episode including a bit of her past. Can't wait for her performance! |

| Friend entrusting being star to the main guy. The black cat trauma and seeing it as another himself? Meeting his rivals. Showing a bit of rivals' personalities and their minds. KajiKaji's character is more straight about his feelings toward the main guy and only wants to compete against the main guy to the extend that that even when he won the recital last time, he still wants to compete. Hayami-san's character is cold, but is actually the one to hide her feelings. 25:29 next week. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Nice episode once again. Kousei is battling his inner demon. Kaori speech to Kousei was very nice. Next week episode should be very interesting on how Kousei can compete with his rival. |
| Great episode; more musicians, sad soccer game... Is it me or is this show just so beautiful~ |
 |
| They're finally starting to get into it with the rivals. It was a nice introduction for this week before the musical storm that is going to start hitting us next week (with a rando soccer disappointment thrown in for good measure). So far so good. |
 |
| Watari's reaction to his loss reminded me of Kasamatsu's in Kuroko no Basuke. That cat... and Kousei's story about his cat. Aiza and Igawa encountering Kousei. Haha, their rage on Kousei as well. We get a little more scenes from the past. Everyone sure is nervous. Aiza not taking the opportunity to go to Germany; but instead going for the same competition he won last year. Just when he's about to play, of course we have to wait for next week ;_; |

| I'm glad that this show is getting 22eps 5/5 |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Even a show like this can have cliffhangers XD Well Damn <_< Good ep. Build up and lots of tension. Loved Kosei's monologue and conversations with the cat or more like his fears incarnate ^^ Loved the piano piece at the end when Takeshi was going on stage. |
 |
| Damn everyone looked so stressed out backstage. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| I like Takeshi already, he seems to be an interesting character. That new girl is fine. Build-up episode and it did its job very well. Next episode will be amazing. Kousei and Kaori touching hands, ooohhh that made my heart beat, great scene. |

| Good episode. Funny to see Arima not recognizing those two. That was expected though since he didn't know them. |
 |
| I think the reason why I like this show so much is because they show how much everyone struggles with their expectations. Great build up for the next episode. |
| Eh |
| That opening song is great. |
| Oh no! They really done it!! They really left me a hanging with that ending scene!!! Well it can't be helped so I'll just wait for it next week! Damn but waiting is a real pain!!! Anyway the next one should be the best episode of all the existing episodes. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| Wow that pace was so slow.... I was like hurry up don't give is a shitty cliffhanger and yep, "To be continued"... Looking forward to next week. |

| Well that's interesting, Takeshi's design suggested to me that he was going to be a cocky badass lol, nice to see there's more to his character. Last competitions winner, yet still extremely nervous. Not sure if that's the pre-competition jitters doing that or Kousei's presence in it. The cat stuff was weird D: |

| Very slowed paced episode but I enjoyed it more. I bad for Watari in the beginning since he didnt make the game winning goal he was very sad about it. And also liking Takeshi he is a rival but I like how they portrayed him in this episode has a person who has struggles like Arima despite being the champion. |
 |
| The competition starting, I am actually enjoying the pace as it slowly builds up each of their performance! Kousei's inner self being a cat, why is it always a cat though. Takeshi and Emi being in the tournament. Looking forward to the favourite to play. The tension and everybody being scared. Takeshi gaining the composure, he looked really cool as Kousei looked up to him. |
 |
| Ahh that end :/ I wanted to hear him play.. |
 |
| Cocky as fuck to enter a competition without being able to hear himself. It felt pretty good to see the opening piece from the first competitor is something by Bach, judges are bakas to not getting excited enough. |
| Good episode. Poor Watari, it seems both he and Tsubaki failed at their sports, so.. that leaves Arima. I like how the Emi and Takashi are so mad that Arima kept owning them as kids, didn't even bother to learn who they are, lol. Honestly, i hope the same happens now as well. That being said, the episode was really slow, but still not bad at all. 4/5 |

| Another great episode with good music. This anime does not disappoint. I liked the new characters. I can't wait to learn more about them. It looks like so many people in the piano world envy Kousei. I hope he brings his A game next episode. I can't wait for next episode. It ended when it was getting really good. It is funny how Shigatsu has me (someone who doesn't care about pianos) so hyped for piano performances. |
Maledict said: I like how the Emi and Takashi are so mad that Arima kept owning them as kids, didn't even bother to learn who they are, lol. Honestly, i hope the same happens now as well. Its only normal as children to have those grudges. To keep that growing even now is the natural anime logic. But you see, the girl did understood that Arima is like that because he didn't care about anything but his mom. |
| Meh, interlude episode. |
| Hm, liking Takeshi and Emi already. Kaori has a way with words alright. Damn, have to wait till next week just to hear them play ;-; |
 |
| Sweet Jesus! The scenes of those kids freaking out backstage brought back some memories. Used to play piano myself when I was a kid and I can vouch for that "all of us are scared" line. I quit playing when I was 13 because music was taking too much of my time, the competitions are too stressful, and the future of a musician is too uncertain. |
| Inb4 Aiza messes up. |
| Man..Kaori should lay off with the "Friend A" bit and stahp with the Slap stick humor after a Good mood. Anyways Awesome episode as always and the message the episode is conveying is always delivered perfectly. That cliff hanger was obnoxious though! ARghhhhh I want more! |
 |
| This episode was really nice. The soccer part did remind me about some parts from Haikyuu or Kuroko no Basket. Too bad~ It was nice to see some Kaori x Kousei :) Kaori is so wonderful, full of life and color. Amazing <3 Man competition finally started can't wait to see whats going to happen between Kousei and the competitors that are willing to give up overseas Germany chance just to be believe that Kousei will re-enter the competition and compete with him. That is crazy. But I can't wait to see what Aiza will bring to the stage next week. Arghhh the cliff hangers! This series is just so golden I can't wait! 5/5 for this episode. Love it all. |

| Man I love this anime! Kousei and Kaori almost holding hands aaaw :D I can't wait anymore for next week I feel like starting the manga! |
| The super sayan... i mean, one of the rivals takes the spot. Sothey at least know him from when they where littles, it's going to be interesting. I hope they spend some time with the play. |

| dam good episode gets you amped up for next week!! |
 |
| Yohohoho~ It's a build up episode.... Not bad, not bad at all... The pacing of the story is slow in this eps, but almost every moments are gently flowing and brimming like sakura petals in the spring wind... Well, "Almost", because like usual the comedies don't fit the mood. Oh well, enjoyable nonetheless. Kousei's development seems to be slower, so I'm expecting his "I-can't-hear-the-note" drama will come again when he performs. 4.3/5. next week, things are gonna get real, right? |
HOW TO SAVE ANIME IN THREE SIMPLE STEPS
Should even one of the above conditions cannot be done, anime is still at risk. |
| skimming through this episode I realized just how much Natsuki Hanae's delivery contributes so negatively to this show. I just can't stand this guys inflection where he seems like he's brutally overplaying the whole part, though that probably has a lot to do with him just being not at all what I envisioned for the role so much as A-1 forcing him onto the project cause they have a raging hard on for trying to promote him in their shows. I think I found yet another thing to avoid when it comes to anime in any case. Note to self, avoid shows with Natsuki Hanae in it from here on out cause he sucks and brings like no personality or distinct quality to any of his roles in anything I've heard. Yuki Kaji is in this now too and I feel bad for calling Hanae the next Yuki Kaji cause listening to the two in the same show I feel that's an insult to Kaji who is definitely leagues better. At least Saori Hayami kind of made up for it though she could probably act circles around anyone in this show at the best of times. That said a lot of the scenes in this show are still just way too overwrought compared to how they come across in the manga as just kind of more natural. A-1 is really trying so desperately to play this one up as a prestige project yet every single time the awkwardly placed slapstick comedy brings it crashing back down to Earth. Oh well what else is new. |
| Dat cliffhanger! Gosh dang it! Also dat flashback. Also ouch that hurt. "He never knew us from the beginning." Also, I want to hear my Winter Wind Etude already. Come on Emi. |
| It's so early in this series that it wouldn't be impossible for Arima to humiliate himself :/ |
| Another perfect episode! I really dont think its possible for an anime to be this perfect! |
| Noooooo. DAMN IT! One more week.. I was hoping for some real stuff this episode >< Loved it anyways. This anime is just what I wanted |
