la corda d'oro episode 24 blog

[lucathia]

First up, just who is Fuyuumi hiding from? XD;;

Her fanboys!! Seriously, I thought that was pretty amusing. Fuyuumi posing for photos was pretty cute too. 

More of Kanazawa's past is shown. Oh, what an angst filled sensei. I don't know much about him outside of the anime though, since I haven't played for him in the game.


And then we have stalker!Hihara. Who watches Kahoko practice from the shadows. Except, of course, he does step out after she's done practicing. 


And treats Kahoko to cake. And almost blurts out that a guy's ideal romance is eating cake with the girl he likes. He tries to cover his slip with ending "onna" (female) as "ongaku" (music) instead. Kahoko seems to see nothing out of the ordinary, and muses about "ongaku" and ends up comparing cake to Gavotte.


But seriously, if a guy's looking at you like THAT, well. Mm, Hihara then goes on to talk about how he wants to do his best in the final selection for the sake of cheering up that "special person" and that he wanted to tell that to Kaho-chan. Pretty much a confession right there!!

"お互い頑張ろうね!" <-- I might be remembering wrongly, but I think Hihara says this in the game too? Haven't nearly played it enough, but after playing it, this anime feels all the more awesome because of stuff that the characters say and do that carry over from the game. And the backgrounds!! I explored all of those in the game!! So awesome seeing them.


Like the rooftop, for example. Exactly the same as the backdrop from the game. :D The other places too, like the park and all those other places. But yeah, this pic is out of order. It's actually near the beginning of the episode. Tsukimori hands Kahoko tickets to the concert he's performing in with his mother.

Back to the episode again...

Just where are you pointing at, Shimizu? ^^;; But yeah. Shimizu tells Kahoko that her sheet music is in her heart, not the ones she was looking at.


Tsukimori preventing Kahoko from picking up a pink seashell directly in case she cuts her fingers. Tsukimori is very obsessed with hands. *nods* From the preview in the last episode, it almost looked like Tsukimori and Kaho were going on a date. How misleading! It was...merely a chance meeting at the beach before the concert. Though, perhaps that's not any less romantic.

All the participants in the concours ends up going to the concert. XD;; They're all invited by Tsukimori's mother, with the exception of Kahoko. None of them know that Kahoko was invited by Tsukimori, though Hihara does wonder why Kaho-chan's in a different row than them.


I'm amused that Tsukimori always gets these feathers floating about during these perfomances of his.


And sparkles too. :D Hihara even mentions afterwards that Tsukimori's sound was all "kira kira" (sparkly). Tsuchiura replies that it doesn't suit him. XD;;


Tsukimori is apparently less than amused to see all of them there...since he only invited Hino. Tsukimori's mother goes "I thought so" when she looks at Kahoko and Len.


Hee, go Fuyuumi!! Kahoko tells everyone that she's going to play according to her heart and Fuyuumi's the first to tell Kahoko that she's looking forward to Kaho-senpai's performance. Hihara complains that Fuyuumi stole his lines again, though I think he actually wants to complain about how Fuyuumi's the one getting the hug. XD;

No Yunoki of course, since he got carted off overseas. Which is kind of a weird turn of events. Especially since it looks like he'll be back for the last concours (though I wonder if he'll be playing?). It's a given he'd be back though, since it is the last episode after all. No Ousaki either, which I didn't realize until now. This episode mostly gave Kahoko screentime with each of the characters and was pretty anti-climatic. I wonder if the ending's going to be like this too.  Just seems sort of mellow.

Still, I'll be sad to see the anime end because it's the only series I've ended up following this season. Got a bit behind with the other series.

And on the Corda game, the first one. Damn you Tsukimori, for being so hard to get. I think it'll be quite a while before I get the second game since I'm still very much exploring the first game.

Damn you Tsukimori, for being so hard to get.

Really? I thought he was surprisingly easy to get (compared to some other games I've played). I wasn't expecting to actually get his ending on my first try through (even though I was shooting for him), and without a guide at that.

Are you raising his rivalry stats too high or something?

[lucathia]

I thought I was supposed to raise his rivalry stats high? Or uh...get him on top of that pyramid thing? Or perhaps my other stats weren't high enough...or I didn't trigger the right events. It's probably not actually Tsukimori that's hard to get...but something that I did wrong. ^^;; Because, before the last selection, Lili didn't even give me a chance to confess...which made me go "uh oh" the entire time I was watching the last selection.

[yachinami.livejournal.com]

I'm not actually sure now; it's been a while 8D;;

But I'm pretty sure I had the love stats near 1000 and the rival stats were only around half of that?

I mainly just remember spending the vast majority of the time before the last selection hunting down Tsukimori and making him play an ensemble with me over and over again to get him to like me more. (Cheap, but amused it didn't have the opposite effect, really).

[lucathia]

Hm, I think I did have the rival stats higher...paid quite a bit attention to that since during the first play through, I barely had any rival points since I didn't know I needed them. -_-;

Now that I think about it...I think everyone's rival stats were higher than their love stats this time around. Darn. Guess that wasn't a good idea either.

I felt so frustrated afterwards when nothing happened. *sigh*

*twirls around* I'm waiting for the subs but it seems there's always something to look forward to. ^o^

[lucathia]

There's only one episode left for me! ):

Hee, but you'll have a lot to look forward to. :)

But after the anime ends, there's still the manga, which is much love. And the game. So addicting!

Thanks for the spoiler~ I haven't watch yet, so I realy happy to found this ^^

I hope that Kaho will ended with Len. They're sure an interesting couple >.< although Len haven't show his true feeling

I wonder, why did Yunoki have to go back? Why he didn't stay at England? *felt Yunoki glared at me ^^;;

[lucathia]

You're welcome. :D

The ending is so open-ended. I do wonder if it'll be different in the manga.

I have no idea why Yunoki went overseas. It was...a weird turn of events. Since, he came right back afterwards.
