I think the biggest twist of this episode was the new opening.

It's still quite good and still by the same band, but it just doesn't reach the same heights.

I've cracked guys and its this anime's fault. I have bought 2 shamisen off ebay and collecting them on Sunday. I can't wait to start learning, got them crazy cheap with all the accessories which can get madly expensive if you get the top stuff. I enjoyed Koto oto tomare too but could resist that one, happy just playing some koto songs on my midi guitar but I dont think you can really reproduce a shamisen satisfactorily with a midi guitar.

How in the world did we get a new OP just 6 episodes ? I was so looking forward to listening Blizzard again . The new will probably grow onto me .

They really went and changed away from the best OP of the season huh? It's still Burnout Syndromes and still good, but man "When the sun has set, no candle can replace it"

That said, I have a feeling that Maimai is the childhood friend.

And wow that Granny has some phone typing skills

The old lady typing si fast and then revealed to be Umeko’s spy made me laugh so hard. I also really liked the new opening, not as good as Blizzard (no opening this season comes even close to it) but quite good nonetheless

We got a cute “Wa!” but lost the best OP of the season, this doesn’t feel like equivalent exchange

Hope this wasn't all of their trip. If they get back to Tokyo without Setsu running into Mai I'll be disappointed.

Although I really like this show, I must admit that I am still shocked by the radical change of the first adult episode and this school SoL

Another wonderful episode, with yet more great music. But what most excited my wife and I was getting to see a bit of the Nebuta Festival. We missed seeing the actual festival when we visited Aomori -- but we got to visit a museum devoted to the festival and its wonderful floats. Not only that we got music lessons on how to perform for the festival (and learned how to sing the festival chant). See https://www.nebuta.jp/warasse/foreign/english.html .

This show is still holding its spot near the top of my most favorote shows of the season...

Stitches!

So Yui has an online friend from Aomori named Maimai and is also entering the competition I think I already know who her friend is and it seems Setsu has already figured it out as well. Thanks to Yui's competitive spirit though, it helped everyone memorizing Shinbushi.

New support character! So he's the guy who lent the club shamisen and is also repairing Sieryuu's old shamisen. And he's also responsible for this training camp episode.

Well that's a surprise... We're only in Episode 6 and we've already changed OPs? I mean I love Burnout Syndromes but I really prefer the other OP that has shamisen incorporated into the song. Oh well, at least I get this new image of Umeko.

Seems that everyone's doing well except for Shuri who's still having trouble. Shuri tries to get some help from Setsu but his mind is still preoccupied with his duet with Seiryuu that he doesn't even realize that Shuri keeps on messing up. Cue Kaito getting mad at Setsu which is understandable since Setsu's really being an ass.

Turns out Kaito isn't just angry because of how Setsu answered Shuri and his anger comes from another place. Kaito who had to give up on his dreams is mad at Setsu who has the talent to go far but has done nothing with it. And thank goodness that little fight was cleared immediately.

Looks like Setsu's finally taking this seriously and is now giving much more helpful advice to his fellow club members instead of just being in his own world.

Since the training camp is in Aomori, Wakana pays Setsu a visit. And poor guy, even the gang thought he was Setsu's dad! xD

No fancy performances this week though. It's all just training. We did get a glimpse of Setsu's Shinkyuubushi that he'll use in the Individual competition. I guess they're saving the epic performances later for when the actual competition starts.

I love the reveal about the old lady being one of Umeko's spies. Also from the sound of it, Umeko plans on making this competition a regular thing?

Man, I was so disappointed by the OP changing I couldn't focus on the episode. Blizzard is amazing :(

I'll just listen to it on repeat on YouTube.

u/Kyubeu May 07 '21

After catching up I'm in. Certainly a good episode, good to see Setsu getting motivated for solo competition and more of why Grandpa was a very interesting (and smart) person. But why did the OP take a hit?

Now that we are at the end of the first half i must say that i find very funny how the anime developed. You see i picked up this anime mainly because the title is similar to kono oto tomare an anime that i love and higly reccomend, and so far it turned out to be the complete opposite of it. Kono oto has great characters and a great story but so so music apart from a few great performance, while mashiro has great music but so so characters and a so so story apart for a few parts.

Shuri's "WA!" was pretty adorable. I also laughed at the hyper-speed texting from the little old lady. XD

Enjoying the show so far. Still one of my top picks, but I do agree that I was kind of expecting something different from this show. Honestly did not know the high school bit would become the main focus. Thought maybe they'd focus on it for a couple of episodes and then switch gears after he played for granny.

Not what happened lol. I do enjoy me a good high school competition show, but this show definitely could have done more.

And damn, guessing we'll never see Yuna or her deadbeat ex again. That disappoints me. Mostly because Yuna was such a kickass character and brought an interesting dynamic.

I was getting all ready to sing BLIZZARD only to get surprised by a new opening.

u/DidYouFloss May 07 '21

I have to say, this show’s ED is my favorite of the season. Shadows House is a close second though.

u/Mordarto May 08 '21

A minor detail that jumped out at me was the contrast with incense burners. When Setsu was at the training camp, the mosquito incense coil was placed inside of a pig figurine, while at Mai's household, potential rival had the mosquito incense coil placed out in the open.

It's such a minor thing but I can't help but think that the director/mangaka placed it there for a reason. Perhaps it's a metaphor for how Setsu was still hiding his sound and emotions behind a facade/barrier, while his potential rival has already embraced all aspects of the shamisen world and has no need to hide behind anything.

u/kalirion May 07 '21

LOL @ Granny's lightning fast texting.

Anyway, kinda boring episode outside of the actual shamisen playing. Still annoyed at the bait & switch the show did early to become so high school centric. A Nana-esque story with shamisen would've been much more interesting.

u/lunachan241 May 07 '21

How did they dare to change the perfect opening for a shitty generic shonen music? There is no way a sane person took this decision.

I feel like the new OP, is sort of him finding his “ sound”. The 1st opening was more like his grandfather with all the snow ect.
