On the 3rd episode...interesting stuff. Will keep watching.
If that happens...
you know what, it probably won't.
If it does i will be beyond pissed off. HATED Clannad after story's ending. undermined the whole damn season!!!
now I'm sad
I love what they did with color this weeks episode. How Kaori's colours are significantly more bland and drained compared to everywhere else in a scene (even subtly) and even more so when you compare how she was to how she is now.
Brings a very good interpretation of her ills, but also of her current emotional disconnect from everyone (especially Kousei).

I first thought when Kousei ran into her while she was waiting for him, Kaori wasn't really there. She looked like a ghost.
btw we all know this was the piece that Kaori and Kousei played
Saint Saens Introduction And Rondo Capriccioso
I just realized some parts of it was incorporated in her character song
My Truth

That Friend A jesting way back, she seemed in on it too.
I picked it up a few weeks ago, it's very good stuff. If anyone is interested I did a very rough translation of the tracklist

Would I like this show if I really liked Kids on the Slope?
Yes. Although I've only seen half of kids on the slope, this is very much the shonen version of it, replacing jazz with classical piano and violin and with more of a love story.
the last chapter of the manga came out today.
I would say the music is more of a focus in Kids on the Slope than this show but it's very enjoyable.

Manga readers is there enough material for a season 2?
Nope, there is a clear cut ending and it has finished. (I haven't read it though).
Yup I heard of this too.
Also on that note for everyone: PLEASE NO MANGA SPOILERS IN THIS THREAD! Thanks

The show is adapting the entire manga in 22 episodes.

Great I'd rather this than ending on a cliffhanger.
There are 44 chapters in the manga.
The anime is gonna be 22 episodes.
Its a full adaptation (as adaptations should be).
I'm happy about that.

Its really good.
I love this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CllT2SIw83Q
Its overplayed in the anime but it really amplifies those scenes.
If anyone is curious this is a translation of the book Kaori had in the hospital room in episode 16 https://japanesenovels.wordpress.com/category/alliance-of-the-15s-complete/ I just read it, fascinating read.
Found the ending's song music video. Pretty cool they based it on actual location.

wow , it really said 'double suicide' , I would think lover's suicide would be more approriate
The word for it, Shinju, can means both things so both have the same sort of connotation.
finally saw the music video, amazing to see the locations in the show being shown in real life
If we stopped at episode 11 we wouldn't have gotten that Kaori is reciprocating his feelings though. I am excite.
you are right, let us stop at episode 16

The humor in this show just isn't very good. I didn't like this episode as a result.
it was a good episode, glad to see that she was just joking about it , Watari really understands the situation well
just resist checking the manga, I've hold out for this long too, only 5 more episodes left though

if you have enough self control, go ahead and just read to the part where the show is at. it's a great experience.
I guess I can't be annoyed at flags when they're coming out of the persons mouth and they're direct about it. I guess those don't count as flags at all.
I like the "concert through the phone" angle, though it's a shame she couldn't show up at the school. Then again, I guess it'd probably throw him to have her show up in a wheelchair like his mother did, so maybe it's for the best. At least Watari realizes what is actually going on there and isn't fighting it.

Watari is a huge bro confirmed and the only person who has a good grasp on the situation.
Although Kaori played it off as a joke about the double suicide thing, that's definitely not the type of thing to be said normally and it's pretty clear that she had an intent behind it. In the book Ichigo Domei (the book she was referencing) which both her and Kousei have read the main protagonist reacts the exact same way, it's almost eerie how similar that scene was. Plus they are both obviously aware of the context of that line (the girl Naomi who is terminally ill in the book, says that line to the protagonist who has fallen in love with her and her with him) so it's actually a very clever way for her to express her feelings for Kousei. Also the song (Rave'ls "Pavane for a Dead Princess") which was going on in Kousei's head later is also from that book as the protagonist plays it for Naomi, which is why he didn't want to hear it because he doesn't want things to turn out the same in this case.

Watari is definitely a real bro.
In the beginning of the series, I always thought he would have a thing for Tsubaki for some reason.

As someone who accidentally did spoil themselves by looking at one of the character bios on MAL,
I don't recommend spoiling yourself. It'll be better to experience the story as things unfold.

Seriously, can I cast a vote somewhere for Watari as Bro of the Year?
And thank you for the added context for those scenes. That's something that is definitely lost in translation.
No problem, there was actually a lot of subtlety to this episode that can easily be lost to non-japanese viewers, especially with the significance of the book and the different context double suicide has over there. I wish it could be explained better in the show but unfortunately it's just one of those things that gets lost in translation.
I realized about the meaning of what she said, but never knew abour 'Ravel' , I was wracking my brains if it was something in the past episodes
also in that last scene with Kaori, that was the sound of the applause on the cellphone right? so that is what Kousei asked Watari for? for a minute there I thought it was the sound of rain. Watari is a bro's bro.
and oh, Kaori really looks sickly in that last shot, her hair is just limp and dying

To clarify, the name of the actual song is "Pavane for a Dead Princess" by Ravel.
The book is also referenced a number of other times when she says "I didn't think you would come back again" and her calling him weird.
I didn't hear applause, I thought it was the sound of rain as she was waiting for the performance to begin.
Edit: Nope you're right, that is the applause.
Part of the impact is definitely lost due to how obvious it was much earlier on in the series. Then again, since we know, we get to view her actions through that lens on the first watch instead of the second watch, which is one benefit of the author doing it this way.
best part was the cameo from the best music anime.
and what is the show that this cameo is referring to?
also maybe once Kaori hears Kousei playing in the school festival just for her, she will feel better and be inspired like what happened to Kousei, and the road to recovery begins? one can hope
nodame cantabile. Fantastic musical romcom manga that was adapted into a great anime and live action show. The mongoose on the right is the mascot (main character dressed up as a mongoose for a school festival)
