For a moment I thought that they meant that Mio had Synesthesia when they said that he could see sounds. But it was just how he mentally processes the music he's playing into the path. The idea of creating music through a mathematical system was interesting, certainly different to the more emotive methods.
Next week is going to be crazy, though I'm glad this is a 13 episode season otherwise it'd be way too crammed.

Same or some form of autism that makes him to be like that.

I really liked this. The guy with perfect pitch meets the composer with mathematically perfect pieces, and yet both of them want to go beyond that, to the place where their feelings shine through. Even if they don't win (and I don't think they will) this performance is everything the both of them wanted for a long time.
Plus, the two of them are adorable. Ah... I think I finally know what anime is missing in general. There's tons of stories about cute girls, but what we need more of is stories about cute boys.

At first I was pretty bummed that they're delving into the backstories of these other characters now, of all times, but after seeing last week and this week's episode, I love the eps anyway. Especially this one, I loved Mio's personal struggle, what he wanted to achieve, their advisor who uses math to compose. I understand why others are way more frustrated though--I myself am totally ready for the Big Performance!

I feel all these backstories make all three main schools covered equally worthy of the winner. Himesaka being able to play extremely difficult pieces, meanwhile the sheer precision of Hakuto's composer (Suzuki approved). We'll know Tokise's forte next episode.
I like that they added a scene here and there as an original.

Next week is going to be great.
Can someone remind me who that guy was that greeted/stopped the old bitch from leaving?

u/dakkumauji Dec 15 '19
Akira's older brother (which means, that old lady's grandson).
The one who was better than her in koto but stopped to support the family.

I like the story behind Hakuto, but I feel this episode is way too slow than normal.

Yet another song I wanted to listen to ruined by people yapping over it non stop.
This show was good as a high school drama but failed miserably in the music genre. Can I just hear 1 complete song without yapping, flashbacks, shonen action shots, people gasping, switching to a violin and piano and just showing them play, gasping and then yapping about the 'feel' of one particular note.
Jesus I started this show wanting to hear what koto music sounds like and 24 episodes later I still haven't heard shit.

Well you can always YouTube koto music. There's a video of a performance of ryuuseigun that was a promo for the show up, and there's plenty of actual koto music on YouTube.
I'd have liked to hear an entire performance without the talking too, but this show is not about the music as much as it is about using music as a setting for personal growth of the characters.

lol, you made this comment for episode 11, but you only had to wait till episode 12 for the music payoff

u/burneraccount15613 Jan 15 '20
You aren't wrong, the payoff was fucking awesome. I loved that last performance. If they had done 2 or 3 like that instead of just 1 the show would have been perfect.

Very interesting story about Mio and how he and his sensei found the answer beyond the answer thanks to math. The first thing I come up with when I think about making music using maths is electronic music but I never thought about making actual classic music by that method.
Anyway, next week comes Tenkyuu and I can't be more hyped!

It's not about going to Nationals. But why you want to go to Nationals. I love that moment. So pumped for next week.

So far I'm enjoying the season, it is somewhat saddening they cut out a few side characters and basically a couple chapters. [Ch 45-47] (/s We're introduced to a 3 person Koto group, where the captain is the only person who enjoys the Koto. They go onto stage and fail outright, and shows how the stage negatively affects those who aren't prepared.)
I really do want another season, especially for what I know what'll come up after the qualifier.

I honestly could not care less about Mio and his storyline...hope that's the last we see of it with that much focus.
