That was some pretty crucial insight though into why Kousei feels guilty about playing the piano, we now know he blames himself partly for his mother's death when he told her he wished she was dead.

On episode 4. Checked it out because of this thread.
Jesus wow. Amazing show thus far.

Welcome! Come along for the amazing ride, it's been fantastic thus far.
Every episode got me like
Well that was awesome, finally that payoff we've been waiting for.
Absolutely love the use of imagery in this episode, probably some of the best stuff we've seen so far from the show. My man Kousei pretty much confessing his love for Kaori in front of everyone, excellent stuff.
If anyone is interested, this episode is chapters 17 and 18 of the manga, encourage you to go and read them to see what the performance was like there. As long as you don't go past the end of chapter 18 you are in the clear spoiler-wise.
Also good news everyone, the manga has been licensed for English release by Kodansha Comics USA, first volume will be releasing in the Spring!

Yes, will be a complete adaption
Wasn't it just the violin? I think it made perfect sense in the context of his performance, the violin only came in after he started playing for Kaori.
ahhhh. didn't see it like that. makes sense.
I feel like its the appropriate level of melodrama. The characters are experiencing their first love and maybe for some their last. The tone helps you connect with the characters. Who should be feeling like this is one of the most important earth shattering events that has ever happened.
I think my biggest problem with the show is with the MC. I just don't care about him at all. He's an empty shell with no personality. The only things that define him are his dead mother and Kaori. Makes it difficult to care about any of his problems, so when his mother issues come up yet again I just have to groan in annoyance. The big moment at the end where I assume he gets over those issues should be a "yay!" moment, but instead I'm just relieved that we hopefully won't have to hear about them anymore.
Agreed, I feel like the imagery is a great representation of Kousei's thoughts and compliments the story well.
I wouldn't say I agree that he has no personality, we've seen it shine through on a number of occasions (I'd say the jumping off the bridge scene was a pretty good example of this) and we are able to glean a lot of his personality from his monologues (he's obviously a romantic at heart and quite an introspective and reserved person). We also see the way his mother shaped this part of him, repressing parts of his personality we've seen flashes of.
For some reason this reminded me of Inaho from Aldnoah Zero, now *that* was a guy with no personality.
I think so. But this sets up the rest of the series nicely from a competition standpoint as it gives Takeshi and Emi ample motivation to continue competing against him (in competitions lower than their talent level in the case of Takeshi since he could have gone overseas). It means Takeshi and Emi beat him in this competition but it'll seem like a hollow victory because while they technically beat him they can't say whether they beat the version of Kousei who played after his sort of awakening. Should be interesting to see where that goes.
If he's
I sure hope not.
I like what the new
Hopefully we'll get some more back story out of her since she has a fresh perspective on
Probably :c
Charlie Brown, is she going to be the football?
I like what the new
girl/his mothers friend brings to the table.
how his doting mother turned into a monster.
Probably :c
It's fucking signaling for it.
Kaori always stresses on how much she wants people to remember her after her performances. Add to that competition not mattering to her... They're setting it up... SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Loving this mangas adaptation. Its great to finally be able to hear the music instead of just reading it and trying to hear what I come up with in my head lol. Anyone else on here read the manga? Did you read this weeks chapter? I can't wait to see how this story concludes and see the rest of it in anime form.
This is hands down one of my favorite shows to wait for each week on CrunchyRoll. If anyone can recommend me any anime that is similar to this, please do so.

Not the same thing but Silver Spoon is my favourite anime, also by A-1. It is amazing (and also has an ending by Goose House). Please give it a watch.
For the curious, here is Liebsleid's "Lover's Sorrow" which Kousei and Kaori are planning to perform at the gala.

This can´t be happening. It is something which I thought of in one of the earlier episodes, but I wasn´t sure. But now when I see all those "signs" I am pretty sure it will happen.
Those damn onion-ninja must be getting ready for the finale.
Also the manga is confirmed to be ending on Feb 6 for anyone interested. Again, anime will be a full adaptation.

As gorgeous as the first OP sequence is, I have to imagine we'll be getting a new one to kick off the winter season.
Yes mostly like will debut next episode.
OP is "Nanairo Symphony" by Coala Mode
ED is "Orange" by 7!! (pronounced Seven Oops)
I'll have a tough time letting go of Hikaru Nara though, Goose House is just too much for me.

I thought the first episode was very clichéd and trite. Does it get any better?

Not on those accounts. The writing is a mess in this show.
If you don't enjoy the romance, if you watch for the music you'll still find this show enjoyable.
That's one opinion but I disagree, I've found the writing very good at portraying Kousei's thoughts and conveying the dramatic stakes.
So many flags :O
