By the end of the show MC and childhood friend actually became pretty close.
Most obviously because the competition was dead but also because she was emboldened by looking at how Kaori chased her dreams and whatnot

Also,

>>152024570
I'm confused. Are you saying it's shit because the girl who could have had Kousei at anytime decided to do fuck all until competition had already won the bowl? I never get why /a/ always roots for the loser, but to each their own, I guess.

It's certainly one of the best music anime of any era. However as a romance it's completely garbage.

H-hey... i liked you all along but died, so, like me too?

It's shit.

First guy is right, it was airing at this exact time of the year two years ago (wikipedia even lists an episode as airing on this exact date 2015). If thats not from the 'past two years' then I don't know what is.

>>152025269
I've played that track over 300x since the OST was released.

>>152025269
I forgot to add, I hope Yokoyama gets more work. He did a great job with this anime and is doing a great job with IBO. In fact, his score is the best part of the show

the director sucked
I hated the part where he was reading the letter, there was no need to play any music while Kaori was talking

>>152017695
There has been no romance anime since 2013 (now we finally have Seiren).

It had some nice ships, but it wasn't a "romance anime".

>>152025744
Well, isn't the core of the story the romance between the two autists?

>>152025811
Not really. The core of the story was all about friendship. Two autists romance was a subplot.

And even if we are talking about 2013, you still posted the wrong one.

Shirayuki is the only decent one I can recall in that time, and even then Shirayuki should have got with the other guy instead

Classroom Crisis had the best kiss scene of the past two years though

Fune wo Amu has romance as more of a subplot too

Ore monogatari is one.From the replies, I see no haremshit included, thats good.

>>152025385
Again, that's not how things are counted. A show is dated from the season it starts airing. Sazae-san is not an anime "from the past two years," and neither is this.

>>152026028

Your semantics are retarded and change nothing - if you ask what AOTY 2015 is, no 2014 leftovers will be eligible, this is basic shit. Two years ago is 2015, but the show is dated to fall 2014.

Shigatsu is low YA tier writing

The piano music was nice, but don't be such a pleb

>>152026183
Its good that it got no dragged on drama for the main couple.

Even if you don't like the rest of the show (there are great moments throughout). The first half the finale alone is worth it.

Plastic Memories, in contrast, aired at the same season, and handled the drama in the last episode very well with gratuitous use of silence.

It's an exaggeration of what happened. The point being that it's literally artificial drama that serves no point. It's just there for drama's sake.

Artificial drama? In my fictional drama story? No way

>>152028674
The goal of fiction is to emulate reality at least to a point where the viewer can relate. Failure to do so makes the "fiction" part stand out to negative effect. That's where artificial/forced drama comes from. I know I'm stating the obvious but apparently it has to be done.

>>152028674
Not him, but that defense is dumb as fuck and I refuse to believe you don't realize that.

I can safely say that this is one of the most overrated anime of all time.

Fuck knows why people flock to this thinking it's the saddest shit they've ever seen when the whole outburst of Blonde and not fitting in with the group was retarded.

>>152024633
No because Tsubaki was a fucking loser. Can't even say to kousei that she likes her and didnt even try. And now she ended up as your typical bipolar tsun

>>152020827
It didn't get better. The only thing that kept me going was the music. This show just did not know what it was going for and I had to get drunk to make myself finish the last few episodes of it.

Why can't anyone write a compelling romance story anymore? Love triangles are fucking bullshit that satisfy no one stop writing that shit

>yes i'm mad

>>152029156

This. It was trying to do too many things with the music drama and dead mother drama and dying girl romance, and it didn't actually focus on doing any of them well.

The love triangle was not even close to the most major problem with this show.
