Glad this series is back after a week break. I do like the new opening, but still not nearly as much as the first one.

Well crap, so Kaori is having health problems again... :[ But Kousei appears to be stepping up now. I anticipate something big from him now!

Lol at Emi trying to sneak in without anyone recognizing her. xD

Well, for Kaori to say that her chances of getting married is ruin, wouldn't be a surprise when she has a death flag looming over her.

So Kaori didn't show up, so I'm guessing she's in a hospital or has collapse along her way.

Honestly a fantastic episode. And yeah, I'm pretty sure Kaori's on her way to the hospital. I'm gonna cry bucket loads at the end of the Anime. :/

Another amazing and beautiful episode of Shigatsu. Art is superb as usual with the great utilisation of symbolism and motifs. Twinkle twinkle little star was phenomenal too! Love the new OP and ED song.

I'd be really surprised at this point if Kaori doesn't end up dying, and if she doesn't that's great but I definitely wouldn't be mad at an ArimaxEmi pairing.

Is this a trait for dying love interests or something? I'm getting Nagisa flashbacks.

The first OP was so great and the new one seems kind of.. boring? I'd hoped they put more great classical music in it. The video of the ending was wonderful! The song was somewhat quiet but I think it fits the image.

Anyway I never had a define favourite character, but Kaori might be my first. Oh boy her character is so interesting. I just love this. I'm hoping she won't die, but at this point it does not look good at all..

Can't wait for the next episode.

Op is nice, but first song was better for me.


I noticed it right away when they were practicing in the beginning of the episode and they didn't even bother animating the instruments. Just still shots.

Regardless, it was an amazing episode. Can't wait for the next one.

Late reaction post. Sorry guys :>

New OP is good, but kind of forgettable. New ED I prefer over the old one. It's gorgeous! This is my favourite song by "7!!" by far. I want to perform this song..

I really like that symbollism with the moon. "Maybe, just maybe, the light can reach even the bottom of a dark ocean." For a shounen anime, this show likes to play on these kinds of simple things and relate them to the characters' lives. It's like Honey and Clover's symbollism too. :)

I'm looking forward to the performance next week. dis gon b gud.gif

nah she won't die that would be just too hard to watch
I'm hoping that Kousei and Kaori get together at the end they are soulmates in my opinion

They don't bother animating anything unless it's a "major" performance. All the time when people are practicing and getting ready for concerts and stuff you won't see any animation. Only when they go up on stage. I guess animating performances is too expensive. Next week, we'll probably see animation. haha

"However... Today's spotlight belongs to us". Get fucking rekt, kid.

Maybe it's because of the absence, but I loved this episode so much. Seems like Friend A-kun is starting to get his shit together, which is nice. Also curious how Kaori's parents are his fans. And of course we needed more death flags, right guys?

Next episode is probably him playing solo, because the girl's ded. Interesting.

Holy mother of God they are still exploiting Arima's mother complex, we fucking get it already!

The jokes are becoming worse and more slapstick than ever too! I just had to facepalm and almost close the video player when Tsubaki kicked Watari on the crotch, did anyone find that funny at all?

The new OP sucks! Hikaru Nara was pretty much the only thing I was looking forward to from this show (and okay maybe a little bit of Emi because she's fucking awesome unlike Kaori).

Bad episode!

Decent episode. The 1st OP & ED song was better.
I'm having a bad feeling about Kaori. I hope she just in a rush and forgot her phone.

I'm excited how will Kousei play the piece by himself. Tsubaki is so supportive, Kousei should notice her even just once.

Arima looks like he's finally seeing the light of day for his piano playing. I want Kaori to show up in that performance. She just needs to for her sake and not to let the audience be disappointed because they were expecting a lot from her and Kousei. Although, I still have my doubts that she won't make it in time. I'm ready to be proved wrong.

Like many have said, the OP isn't half as epic as the first one, but the ED really does give me goosebumps considering how they animated it and given what we know about the story (Kaori crying was just sad...)

Having just read through the manga a few weeks ago, I can see how they skipped some parts, though I still think they'll end up adding back Tsubaki's parts in the next few episodes (come on, it doesn't take too much time for it, and it's pretty important to the overall feel of the show).

Knowing what will happen in the next few episodes, I'm just gonna throw it out there and say I am really looking forward to his performance.

Oh, and Emi was cute, but she's got nothing on Hiroko's daughter XD



This girl is seriously funny as heck!

Shit just when it gets interesting the episode is over >.> yea he's gonna rock it all alone.

Pretty obvious that something happened to Kaori. Prob just hospital for now. It's too early to let her die but I doubt she'll survive until the end. Too many signs for that to happen. Makes me dislike the whole situation even more between her and Kousei even more. Even if he had a chance she'll die anyway.

Two people on a bicycle is forbidden by law. I'll keep that in mind. I like the new OP but the first one was better. The new ED was better than the old one though. Also death flags, death flags everywhere.

Man, I'm seriously gonna miss the first OP. It brought me the biggest smile on my face whenever it played. New OP is good too, but the first one, pure seduction. The new ED is foreshadowing the feels. And I thought they were finally over.

I advise you to not read the spoiler if you love this show.



Other than that and the also ironic advice for Kousei to "man up" (this time it's actually spoken!), the episode was pretty decent.

Late to the party, but I just want to say that I have enjoyed every single episode as I watched it. Can't get enough of the music and the anime in general. (Always did have a spot for Classical music.)

Anyway we all know that Kaori death flags have been going on since we knew that it was her going to the hospital and not going to see someone. Hopefully, though, it isn't bad :(

I like how all anybody can comment about is the "death flag."

slow, plodding episode without much going on, unfortunately, but the cliffhanger got me really invested. Can't wait for the next ep.

I'm not happy about the change of OP. I liked that song and it made me watch it every time.

Anyway, lets see if Kaori is just being goofy or actually something happened to her.
Although she's a lively unpredictable person i don't think she the type that will not care about her stage appearance so it's hard to think that something serious didn't actually happen.

Btw that little girl of his mentor is filling this show with kawainess.

one of the worst episode yet.. the plot was all over the place, either bad directing or bad editing but it didn't flow at all.
