In Episode 2.
Kanade and Kyouya will be put to test their abilities to prove to Seiso's Ensemble members that they're worthy of their position as second violinist. Yes, with Kyouya being Kyouya, he's pissed about the fact he was being played around by Ritsu into this whole ensemble thing. Kanade on the other hand was pretty sceptical about everything and did what she was suppose to do. That is, to start practising for the competition!
So in this episode, our main heroine starts to question herself :
Is she really into it?
Why has Ritsu pull her into this?
What has she been playing (her attitude, passion and feelings towards music )
Her ability
But the main highlight of her dilemma was, her passion towards music and how did she perceive music. Was it the same old days as before?
The key to her questions were answered and discover through out the episode partly by meeting these new people she met ( new characters introduced) Nanami! Haru's cello mate and childhood friend and LEN TSUKIMORI CAMEO. YES. LEN TSUKIMORI.
Nanami, Haru's childhood friend has been going through an episode himself. Struggling rejection and problems with no motivation and self esteem. His encounter with Kanade was mere coincidence when he tried to threw his cello away in frustration.
The awesome Buchou who expel him from the club. |
Len Tsukimori's cameo appearance! He played his magical Ave Maria and guess what? It magically affected Kanade . |
Kanade redeemed herself and enjoyed playing the violin. Just like how she enjoyed playing violin so much when she was a child. |
Affected by Kanade's heartfelt performance, Kyouya is back on track to bring his "A" game! |
And of course Haru, the strict chibi himself enjoyed Kanade's performance much. Every member couldn't help but approve both of their abilities. |
MY DEAR LEN MAKING HIS EXIT FROM SEISO GAKUEN. |
PLEASEEEEEE STAYYYY LONGERRRRRRR DON'T GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Overall I enjoyed the episode mainly because Len made an appearance in this series but the episode itself was pretty satisfying. Wish they would include a wider range of classical music like Nodame Cantabile instead of recycling main stream songs from La Corda. Too early to judge but I do hope there's something more to this!
