We get our first glimpse at each of the main characters; Tzvi and Ryan try to parse each of them in anticipation of what the series will reveal moving forward. Kousei’s trauma, Tsubaki’s self-perpetuating care, Watari’s girl troubles, and Kaori’s unusual disposition all set up this story to have many complex angles - the least of which is how the show can effectively get us, the viewers, into the heads of these teenagers.

In this bombshell of an episode, we learn one of Kousei’s biggest hangups with the piano. Tzvi and Ryan discuss how Kaori is the perfect foil for Kousei’s character traits, while also trying to crack the mystery of the cat.

There’s a lot to unpack in this episode: Did Kousei earn his character progression? Does his deceased mother represent his persistent fear of failure? Tzvi makes a bold prediction while both he and Ryan grapple with the cliff-hanger ending.

Tsubaki is struggling to figure out where she fits in now in her relationship with Kousei. Tzvi and Ryan discuss how this show’s complexity is evolving into more than simple teenage romance. How does Kousei want to play the piece but, perhaps more important, who does he want to play it for?
