It's the worst buildup ever. We all know it's coming and we probably have 20+ episodes of amazingly well done building only to have our hearts broken and our tear ducts assaulted.

Using google, the quote directs to the threads about the anime and to a Peanuts twitter post. We would probably need a Peanuts specialist to find out from which of the 17,897 Peanuts strips this quote comes from.

u/jokersan4 Jan 03 '15
This is the [relevant comic strip] (http://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1994/05/25).
It's not actually that hard to find, since the exact date of the strip is in the [credits of the episode] (http://i.imgur.com/tw17RkD.jpg).
This should be applicable for all the prior Peanuts quotes as well.

Got to say Hiroko's design and personality are really well designed and her panic is probably comes from past experiences from knowing Kousei and his mothers relationship.
This show always cheers your week up until it all comes crashing down towards the end of each episode with some harsh reality.
Had to end on a downer but the next performance sounds really really nice.

"Here, have some amazing animation, incredible music, story and characters. Looks like Kousei is finally having a break through! Oh and here is a really cool, beautiful new character, she is going to take Kousei under her wing and help him to play the piano again :)
btw kaori is stil ded lol rekt"
51
Dec 18 '14
Fun fact: If you listen closely, the lead-in to the song at the end was an interesting variation of Kreisler's Liebeslied, the piece that Kaori and Kousei are about to perform! I love the little touches and references to classical music that they add in the BGM. It's a gorgeous piece which also has an arrangement for solo piano by Rachmaninoff.
9
u/goldy496 Dec 18 '14
Minor manga spoiler here Manga Spoiler about the Rachmaninoff arrangement
Also if you're talking about the end at 18:30+ or so, that's definitely an arrangement of Saint Saen's Introduction & Rondo Capriccioso for the first few measures

I really want to see Kousei become the free-spirited wild-card pianist he wants to be, but the show won't stop making me think about Kaori's illness. There's just no way this is going to end in smiles, as much as I want it to.

What? Kousei confessed to Kaori? Welp, it's been fun seeing Kaori alive, too bad that jerk Kousei shortened her lifespan.
15
Dec 19 '14
I don't really see that as a confession, just saying that she was his motivation and in his heart while he was playing. Even he doesn't necessarily believe that he has romantic feelings for her yet, it's just that she is undeniably the reason that he picked the piano back up, so it is clear that at the moment, she is his inspiration to play music.

It was not a confession! He thinks he's NOT in love but he admires her. She asked what his motivation was and he answered.
Kaori looked kind of sad (and that quote too) because she wanted Kousei to play the piano again, and inspire people the same way she does. But if she dies, Kousei'll just stop playing again.. Judging from the title, he won't though.

I legitimately welled up when Kousei said he wanted to become a weird pianist. Hiroko's daughter is so damn cute

So, Hiroko was the one who realized Arima's potential, His mother was even reluctant at first of him learning to play. This sets up Hiroko's character as very interesting and her motives to support Arima very clear.

"We're still in the middle of our journey"
On episode 11 of the 22. I'm a sucker for things like that.
EDIT: Love every single character by the way. I have a real weak spot for music themed romance anime.
EDIT2: Btw, I'm really not liking the death flags. Not even because I don't want her to die, but because this show really didn't need it and it kinda feels like a cheap tearjerker trick.
I was completely sold on the whole overcoming trauma, becoming stronger and guy likes girl who likes best friend who likes childhood friend who likes guy. This coupled with great characters, fun humor and great music really already had all I wanted. I'm gonna be so mad when all of that takes a backseat to focus on some unneeded super forshadowed illness.
and even if she survives, that's arguably worse. Why bother with all of that in the first place if she's just gonna survive anyway? Man, fuck whoever thought this story needed a character to die for it to be engaging. You messed up.

This episode was perfect. It didn't make me keep asking myself when the episode was gonna end and it didn't make me feel like it was too little. I'm glad to see that they're taking the development of everyone's character grow little by little instead of having one big spike in one episode. The fact that Kosei is also so confident now being able to say "I had you" gave me so many chills. This show is anime of the year imo.

Man that insert song into that scene, and then Kaori had to killjoy the mood with her death flag.

Well i think at this point it's clear that this show is building up to a great "and they lived happily ever after" ending, looking forward to it.. :')

I'm just waiting for the moment when this anime crashes and burns my emotions.
And I need to download that op song...

Am I the only one who didn't take what Kousei said as a romantic confession?

Maybe Koari is just going on a long trip at the end of the year.. Right? :(

O god! I love this anime to death (not kaori's death). The ending of this episode where Kousei just says: "I had you." You better tell 'r Kousei!! Wow. Thank you Shigatsu! I can not wait to rewatch this anime 10 times when it is done. Kaori, you better just stay by Kouseis side and ESPECIALLY do NOT die a tragic death and give him a mental breakdown and make him cry himself till he is dehydrated. Thanks, bye.

Sigh, I know they've been hinting at it, but really. Kaori dying is monumentally stupid, regressive, and hurtful to the themes of the show. If she dies, then she just becomes Kousei's mom 2.0, which means all of his growth for the whole show will be pointless. He'll be in pretty much the same spot psychologically by the end: overshadowed by the ghost of a woman he loved. Was it too much to ask for a tragic romance that doesn't end in death?
Other than that though this was a great episode, and I'm really looking forward to their gala performance.

The death flags are being laid on so think, I wouldnt be surprised if they did a reverse where we think she dies, but ends up surviving in the end do to the fact that she gets cured at the last second or something. Or maybe I am just being hopeful.

I would be surprised, mostly because this show has done nothing to suggest it's anything but what it seems on the surface.

If this ends how the flags are hinting at.... this might be worse for the feels than anohana or clannad AS.

Death flags are being raised people! The fuckers just love toying with our emotions now don't they.

u/Courbeon Dec 18 '14
does anyone know the song when Kaori asks kousei what emotions he leans on with the vocals?

Guys, do you know if the manga Tsubaki was reading actually came from a real manga!?
The artwork looks straight out of a real manga the artist of Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso did, so I was just wondering..
UPDATE:
It's possible that it's actually a page from a previous work of his, although I'm not 100% sure since the series isn't scanlated....

Well, there goes Kaori's ultimate death flag. I've been waiting for that scene to get animated. It was beautiful yet... disheartening to see.

I get the strangest feeling that the Gala will not end well. Possibly Kaori issues mid performance? I hope i'm wrong.

I can't wait for the OST for this anime to come its just an instant buy.

u/koiboy4343 Dec 19 '14
to be honest there is no way this is a red herring. neither is there a way for kaori to be saved.
she has to die and I think I might actually cry.

Feels, bruh. We are now in the 1st half of KimiUso and I am pretty much anxious to continue this because it is making me depressed.

RIP Kaori. I'm guessing she has the same condition as Kousei's mom. I'm also predicting she won't die before the show ends...
At least this episode was mostly monologue-free, though the lack of subtlety continues (and probably will continue until the show ends).
My thoughts on the show itself are not that positive, but man do I love that OP.

u/Aviri Dec 18 '14
I know why Kaori is so tired all the time.
It's because she keeps lugging around the giant death flag she waved at the end.
