EPISODE REVIEWS

This episode is not just about music but also about dealing with trauma, loss, and rediscovering the reason for living.

I honestly wasn't sure about the monotone vibe at first, but man, the contrast when Kaori appears is absolute brilliance. The animation is gorgeous, and Kousei’s internal struggle feels heavy but grounded. Don't skip this—it perfectly sets the stage. Just watch it!

We have to laurel the music direction. So beautiful and matching the tone. The chemistry between the characters is exceptionally portrayed. Arima and Kaori’s introduction to the story feels surreal. The scene sequences, though, feel cringeworthy with excessive comic elements.
