@apc@starside.social So. If not THIS, then what?
Well, I suspect people may even have been avoiding this one due to its violin-ing being far too "on point" (or maybe just not wanting to think about the story?)
BUT I HAVE NO COMPUNCTIONS
The reason is because Kaori and this scene alone has been the most-successful way for me to pull others into anime, including my mother.
I'm not even a huge fan of Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata or Beethoven + violin much inn general, but even for me this scene showed off just how excellent the series would be in musical performances alone.
Plus pissing off that jerk of a judge. 😝
All of this scene and the after-scene with the kids giving her flowers locked the series in in a way few accomplish.

@apc@starside.social OK, so now that I got "normie" out of my system (even with good reasons) I gotta drop some OTHER bows. Like perhaps that of a shi... Oh no. It's back. After all, what is the most "iconic Titanic" scene in anime? What is the most "character introduction-nest" cut in all anime? There is only one.

@cthellis@urusai.social @apc@starside.social This was high on my list (sorry for almost stealing it), but as you say, it still hurts all these years later. I think it would have been a bigger crime NOT to mention it ;)
