| The typical morning of Nao Saeki living with his grandmother, he's quite the lazy bum at home, as compared to in school. It's 3 days before the auditions, and both Aono and Saeki struggle with their supplementary classes, though the latter is much worse before because his family was German, as compared to his Japanese counterpart. But since the world of music has no need for languages, he can get along fine, amd Aono helps him out with his language deficiency. The rivalry of Aono and Saeki is interesting, but they're late and worse still, got caught by the maestro Ayukawa himself, who disregards the both of them, the conflict on Aono a tad harder because he didn't even bother mentioning his name. And when Harada questions him, he changes the subject, switching to the auditionpreparations. To have a 1st Year be at the front, Ayukawa has a person in mind: the only hopeful that is Saeki. With 3rd Year President Mari Tateishi sounding off the day before the audtions, everyone is nervous. Since both Akine and Aono took the same train hime, she intrudes on his house for practice, this time for the audition preparations. But this time, Aono's mother isn't around, so the both of them are home alone. Indeed, Dvorak's Symphony No. 9's 3rd Movement "From the New World" is not an easy piece to master, and the piece's visualization is much needed to understand his intentions to the piece's composition. The both of them playing to complement each other, Akine's craft has much since then, thanks to his and Tachibana's advice, so too did Aono to come out from his rut. The night before the decisive battle, and practice sessions go on for the night without end, more significant to Saeki's family, who comes from a family of instrumentalists. Hatori's challenge is there too, and soon, dawn breaks for the D-Day. The audition begins...how will this fiery battle turn out? |

| That was a good episode. Prefer this more than the single-char focused episodes with a lot of past. For the grandfather I first thought ... "wow looks like some american farmer guy from the US" lol. Minutes later they revealed he was a German. :D Grandmother is cool. Teacher is interesting. I wonder if we get to know more about him as well. Liked that he had a bit more screen time. Dialogue with the Harada guy. He must know about Aono. Maybe him mentioning that Aono + Saeki weren't there ... was more like a "no wonder it felt that bet" - instead of "you were not that important I did not even notice". And him not knowing/using the name of Aono like "you are so good ... I only remember your music and not the name". Fitting voice actor for the teacher ... yeah we really need a bit more of him. Better than the scenes where he acts as conductor just being the srict guy + no dialogues. I wonder if Aono's dad is returning later in the plot - maybe during the stuff the anime adapts? Would be interesting as well. |
| Did I just see Saeki performing in 2D, all the 3D looks so awkward and ugly! |
| I hate the CGI in this anime. But I am digging the music and story. Let's leave it at that. |

| A bit more about Saeki which was nice. Hajime x Akine was sweet, she even thanked him. For someone like her saying thankyou out loud is much harder than you'd think, she wasn't even able to thank the other girl so goes to show how much she admires/cares about Hajime. Next up their audition, looking forward to it. |

| Things are getting interesting. I really hope Akine will make it. |
