| I'm hoping Kousei is able to accompany Kaori well enough. He was really awesome in the cafe, and this could make or break his future as a musician (although it's pretty obvious what's going to happen here, let's be honest). Is that the cat from the OP? Is it going to be a recurring character? I vote yes. It was funny seeing Kaori chase after Kousei and convince Tsubaki to join her cause. Though... I feel like they killed a few too many trees just to get someone to join their cause like that. Somehow, Kousei getting the shit beaten out of him hasn't gotten old yet. Next episode sounds like a lot of fun, so I can't wait. |
| Aw, the only difference with his black cat was that it had green eyes. The stray has blue eyes. I like how they draw them with such big ears, it's super cute. |
 |
| 101 in how NOT to approach a person with a deep trauma. Seriously, if this series were realistic enough, the decision of having Kousei playing the piano again in front of a multitude would only affect him and his psyche in a quite negative way. Also, I'm not enjoying in the slightest the amount of abuse MC is receiving. The idea of using such trope for the sake of comedy is really lame, being honest. So far, this so famous anime isn't leaving a really good first impression. |
| Don't like any of the characters but especially Kaori with her being such a selfish, violent bitch and Kousei just taking all the abuse. Also Kaori seems to have too many sudden personality changes. But I'm interested in seeing how the next episode plays out. |
  I want to know what it is, this 'sin' they say I've committed. |
| Kaori so sweet, xD |
| Wahey Kousei is finally going to play the piano again |
 |
| Kousei coming out of the shade of the school to the light to accept Kaori's request to be her accompanist, very beautiful I must say. This story ain't gonna end well is it, with the Kaori going to the hospital flag risen |
| I wasn't feeling the vibe at first but now im kinda hyped. Hopfully the next few episodes hook me in all the way |
 |
| The crying somehow felt unnecessary, but besides that, it was a good video. I still don't know what will happen between these 4 because in the opening (which is 10/10) the girl is crying so who knows. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| What was otherwise a great episode in terms of Kousei overcoming his barrier was slightly ruined by typical shounen animation (the short burst of rage when their friends came up on the rooftop). It wasn't funny nor needed and ruined an emotional moment. |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| Really nice episode! Great to hear twinkle twinkle little star in Japanese accent >_< |

A picture of the annoying girl crying: Oh please do Nooo, why does she know? That's kinda poetic Shut up bitch, I don't wanna survive! Oh, foreshadowing maybe Nope, it definetely isn't! Wait, what? WTF? So, she's 100% going to fucking die, I can feel it! I'm disappointed that he agreed to do it. I honestly wanted him to say no, but, sometimes you don't get what you want. *sighs* Also, she's just too fucking annoying! wanna say that I like her character but I simply don't. Sorry. 7/10 btw, if she brings him out of that darkness and then fucking dies then it will really fucking suck! |

Mess with waifu, lose your laifu |
| I'm really looking forward to them performing together |
 |
| Kaori is such a cutie! Risa Taneda is really the perfect voice for her!! |
| It must be pretty boring for someone to ask you to do something all week even if you don't want to. |

| Holy shit, I really do not like Kaori. It's pretty damn fucking obvious that Kousei's suffering from some kind of trauma, yet she doesn't care. She doesn't even try to understand him or why he might not want to play. Instead, she repeatedly physically abuses him and tries to manipulate him into being her accompanist in the most obnoxious way possible (Tsubaki's even worse for this, breaking into his house and going through his phone to 'convince' him - that's pretty damn illegal). She's the epitome of a horrible, selfish person, to the point that even when she cried at the end, it felt more like she was trying to emotionally manipulate him instead of being a genuine outpouring of her feelings. I really hope this gets better because right now, I'm wondering why it's so highly rated. |
 |
| What happened in this episode looked like pure harassment to me :))). But how Kaori convinced Kousei...that was a strong move! I was sure Kousei would not be able to refuse. |

| Tanto drama para tocar um piano, nada que uma terapia não resolvesse |
 |
| Man, this is hitting some new notes now that I'm rewatching it. I loved the "happy piano" scene the most. The pure joy & wonder on that girl's face as they played really hits home how music is the language that can connect hearts without ever saying a word. |
 |
| So not feeling it so far. Hoping it gets good as series go by, or waste 22 episodes being very angry >:( |
| Cute episode but part of me wishes they handled the accompaniment thing a bit more delicately. Kousei is very obviously dealing with some type of trauma which Kaori is very well aware of so it seemed a bit odd that she'd not only ask him to accompany her in a competition less than a week away, but continue to push it onto him after he declines. What's even more jarring is how it's framed as a cute little back and forth when Kaori is sort of being insensitive |
| this is starting to hit me personally... |
 |
| It's good to see how Kousei's world is colouring step by step. |
| I'm not a fan of Kaori's violent and stalkish nature because she reminds me of Taiga. But I can overlook that as she has charisma and a lot of redeeming qualities. In this episode, she is the force that pushes Arima to get back playing the piano. Also, I like that I get to hear one of the words I am learning. bansou = musical accompaniment. My flashcard deck includes image from this anime. The creator of that deck must be a fan. |
| I thought that the blonde would be calm and cheerful and not so hyperactive, well I'm not a fan of such characters but I still like this anime |
| In case anyone is wondering ... The "lie" is about what Arima, Kousei keeps telling himself, that he can't play any more. He learns to overcome his insecurities to play once again. |
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.  |
| Don't think being depressed would prevent someone from being able to hear their own music specifically, especially in an otherwise silent concert hall. Absolutely didn't expect Kaori to burst into tears over nothing in such a casual scene either, but do I know what to expect now. |
