| With stakes on the line, Hajime vs. Nao Saeki on Vivaldi's The Four Strings -Spring-, it's been a long time since he last performed for a crowd since the competition in his middle school. While the start goes as per normal, Saeki throws Hajime off his tone to the point of frustration that he begins to match Saeki's in a battle of sounds. Though it feels good, they overshot their briefing mark, and they got an applause from the onlookers, something that Hajime hasn't had since the competition. But when it came to properly identifying him from Yonezawa, that's the trigger of his bad memories once again because of the family's high-profile cheating incident. It's Akine's turn to showcase her talent from her 6 months of training on Pachelbel's Canon, and amidst his fear, her half-year of experience is enough to bail him out of his situation and calm his heart down. Akine did a decent job, and the rest of the 1st Years' tryouts follow to split them into 1st and 2nd violins. The performance from the Senpais, especially the concert master Sou Harada himself, the strings ensemble performs the regular concert, which will be the 1st Years' debut stage if they joined. And as expected, the unsuspecting Aono asking if Harada is famous, which Saeki stopped Yamada to let him hear himself, he has everyone following his lead in a smooth manner, dancing to the tune of the piece and playing as one cohesive ensemble. That is enough to define the difference of skill of professionals and a mere concert master who knows his craft, and spears Hajime to finally find his footing to join the club, even if it's out of embarrassment and Saeki wanting to play with him again. The new friends of Hajime's: Haru, Akine, Yamada and Saeki, carve a new chapter for themselves. |

| We listened Vivaldi’s spring three times this episode. Hope there will be performed other violin pieces.. Until now a good anime but barely misses to be a very good show for me (I don’t consider the quality of the animation). |
 |
| I’m really disappointed for the moment. I’m not a celebrity child but.. The animation is not that great and the music are really average, nothing wonderful. |
| if you hated this episode/chapter, just watch/read something else... IG (https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh) Discord (https://discord.gg/vbZrk64uH7) |
| Every week I keep on wishing this was animated by a more competent studio. |
| Man, I just wish this was animated a little better. The character interactions are so well done but the technical stuff just leaves a lot to be desired. As for the episode itself, it seems like Aono has finally began to move forward and not just wallow in the pain of the past, but embrace the joy of the future. Seeing him go all out against the other first year was really cool and now he's got an entire friend group to grow along with. |

tekkenshu7 said: Strange, I also feel this way. Maybe it's because we only see 1-2 people at a time here, instead of a big crowd of them in one shot? Or maybe the studio did put a lot more effort into this episode, thinking this is the "make or break" point for viewership?Better than the last episode. It also feels the CG become better (or my eyes got used to them). The show was kind of losing me, but now I'm back on board somewhat. Really like that there's so much music in this episode, and the characters do talk about music and performance a lot. Hope the show as a whole only gets better from here. |

| The CGI looks really bad, aside from that I'm enjoying this anime. |
| CGI aside, It's kind of boring. |
| Good performance from them but ofc the seniors are better and in more sync. Good thing he'll be joining, hope his father issues don't bother him much. |
 |
| Weird place to bring up something so personal that you have no business talking about |
| Man these music based anime really try hard to make same sound "different". Same music first years playing suddenly with MC going :O like it's any better or different. What those two played sounded more entertaining than what the orchestra was playing. Then again, I always like solo performances more than orchestras, so I'm biased. While we're at it, making MC's father a cheater and a reason for MC to quit for a year, is the dumbest plot point ever. If there was some actual physical reason for MC to not have played for years, or something far more than a teaching scandal to make it a emotional issue that can last for years, or both together, that would be far more interesting than a kid being all emo. Can't take MC seriously at all. Doesn't help that they just reached the fucking high school so you know not to take any of it seriously already. I would say Japanese writers need to learn to place their stories outside of schools and with grown-ups more, but that's like asking the water to not be wet. |
