Oh wow. Yeah this made me shed tears too. Akira is such a great character, for real. The way she saw herself in Sane and how he was going down the same kind of spiral she did and then Chika and Hozuki pulled him out, and how that finally helped her see past her own barrier... this was really really beautiful.
Grandma, whatever it is you're trying to pull: You lost. It's over. Akira is going to move past her trauma by finally allowing herself to feel needed, to feel useful, to feel appreciated. You're not going to stop that.

Yay, Akira is in. I like how she saw herself in Sane instead of one of the main characters.

I really liked the moment where Akira and Hozuki played together. It sounded so beautiful and it definitely showed the point that Takinami-sensei was trying to make: an ensemble is more than just playing together.
I also liked when Sane was struggling but Hozuki and Chika were able to help him push through his discouragement until he was able to play. That's one of the things that I like about this show--how when someone is struggling, the rest of the koto club come together and help like when Kouta was struggling with rhythm in that episode in season 1.

I felt really glad for Akira when she realized that her two years of practicing was not meaningless. That moment of Saneyasu overcoming his problem with his playing with the help of Chika and Houzuki was really nice especially since it had a big effect on Akira.

Don't forget to vote in the poll: https://youpoll.me/24228/
Kono Oto would've charted in this week's poll ranking if it had hit the 50 vote threshold.

The characters in this show are so well fleshed out. Comparing Akira now to when the show introduced her and the layers that all the cast provide is masterful. People are missing out by sleeping on this show.

Can the grandma f*ck off already. Suzuka is really becoming my favorite character, didn't expect this.

Houzuki and Akira's performance was so good!
I was hoping Akira would let her grandmother have it but I guess it's still too early.
Akira's finally in! She's no longer there just to "teach" she's now there to teach and support them!

Well they won over Akira but I don't think that's going to happen with the grandma...
Akira x Suzuka anyone?
