| I feel nothing, it’s not really deep The music are not original. But the episode was not bad. |

| A decent episode this time around, great that Haru and Akine had their moment together to confide in one another. The drama, I will say, was a bit overdone, but had its good moments. Again, the studio is trying very hard to make it look half decent, and props to them for that. I really wish there was some original music to be found here, but it is what it is. |

| oh man, the animation is getting worse every episode. the fact that they use CG animation for the music scenes also doesn't help. I've heard that the manga was so good it received awards and all, but this adaptation doesn't seem to be up to the original source |
| It's frustrating when they show bullying in japan, it just portrait how useless are teachers and everybody around when it happens. That second year in the violin, chika, has two strikes and be soon in my shit list. How can she be intimidated by a first year looking at the side ignoring the problem?, someone so useless should not be leading no matter who good you are in the violin. |
Iqaru23 said: Read the manga, it follows the manga, and what do you mean by getting worse?? Do you want me to fix your eye or something? before suggesting me to fix my eye, you should at least watch as much anime as I did so you perhaps begin to realize when an animation gets worse. but wait, your account isn't even two months old, so I might be wasting my time talking to a bot? shame on me then |
| didn't really like this episode. don't know if it was because it was slow and not super interesting, or if it's just because i don't really like haru's character in the first place so i don't care much about her, but the episode didn't really do much to me. ot was obviously supposed to be pulling at heartstrings, but it wasn't sad. hoping next episode we move away from whatever this small, sad/flashback arc was and get back to the actual story |

| Not gonna lie, but I felt a little bored during some parts of this episode. On the other hand, it is refreshing to see a show takes its time with the pacing and with its characters building. |
| i almost fell sleep watching this boring episode LMAO .. |
| Man fuck bullies. Ricchan and Haru’s backstory was really sad. It’s good that they had this heart to heart and now know how each other really feel. I love haru’s seiyuu, she sounds so natural and down to earth. It made the flashbacks that much more painful. Everyone needs a friend like Ritsuko, though. Sticking up for Haru even after she left the school was some real shit. |
 |
| how did they manage to make this episode so boring |

Aless3003 said: Great episode with a good development for Haru. I agree, hope that she will be good afterwards! |
 |
| I feel like they over-dramatized and overdid this episode. For a minute it felt like I was watching a 2000s shoujo/drama lol |

| @sinnerNoWinner thanks for the worry, I had IRL events going on, so wasn't able to tune to last week's episode. As expected, Akine is worried about Haru from her bullying incident in middle school, and yet her mother is left in the dark about this, because Haru didn't tell her. But it's more like she kept the incident to herself, being afraid of opening up and frighteningly enough, take advantage of Akine's good graces. What's worse is that the concert auditions are coming soon, and Shizuka continues to find fault with Akine, her thoughts constantly filled with Haru in mind. The girl who is constantly tired of staying at home and not wanting to go to school, goes out at night to a convenience store to get some food...and it just so happens that Akine was on her way to her house. Instead of asking Haru about school, Akine disperses her conversation to the former's life and interests, which brings her curse again. Turns out, Haru's bullying was caused by Akine herself when she recklessly forced her hand onto the bullies, which in turn, forced Haru to suck in her guilt and take it as it is. And even after Haru transferred out, that became Akine's downfall as well thanks to the behavioral change in wanting to get revenge for Haru. It was like retribution for Haru for all the trouble she caused Akine, but still, the latter wants to be her friend, that from then until now, is like a life support vessel between the two. Glad to see both Akine and Haru make up for their past faults, and start anew. A hard episode of truths between two aligned friends. |

| What a strange episode... I think it's good? But I don't like it as much as I would've expected. The creators are spending time and effort to flesh out the characters, in terms of their backstories, their relationship dynamic, their motivations for doing music, etc. Their actions and feelings are understandable and believable. The topic of bullying is handled with a decent amount of care, and the characters show some self-awareness about it. They are good girls that deserve to move on and be happy. The voice acting is touching without being overly emotional. The art looks pleasant, and the music is beautiful. Yet why don't I feel anything? Maybe the writing for the monologues and conversations is a little too simplistic? Maybe it's because the issue is introduced and then resolved within the span of an episode (and a half)? Maybe the characters should have been fleshed out more, before jumping into their backstories? Maybe the characters were too simplistic to begin with? Maybe because the animation is a little too awkward and static to sell the drama (even if I got more used to it over time)? Maybe the music is not integrated that well into the story? I wouldn't say any of these are serious problems for me. It's just frustrating to feel vaguely unhappy about a show and not being able to put my finger on why exactly. I was looking forward to it before it started airing too. Shame I won't be continuing... |
| This episode really shows that sometimes, the people who appear to have their lives together actually don't have their lives together. |
"Molly Ringwald" out right now - check my Linktree!  |
| I've seen many pessimistic characters but damn Haru's a bit too much. She has no backbone at all. This episode felt a bit too much with the drama, kind of overdid it. Anyway nice moment between the two at the end there, hope she gains some backbone after this. |
 |
| They were just going back and forwards “no you”. Aono is the mc this episode was good for character development but it didn’t have to go for this long last episode should have warped it up |
