| Beautiful, just beautiful... Easily the best KyoAni works in a very long time. I hope there's a 2nd season to explore the national competition and of course the resolution of Kumiko's romance as well as Reina's 8/10 |
 |
| Well kinda dissapointed fact that 70% of the finale is contain only music. Anyway it's personally the most enjoyable show this season. Didn't need the 2nd season cuz it's ended nicely, doubt will remember it in a long time but at least it wasn't bad. 7/10 |
| Unless it's predominantly a music school, i.e. focuses primarily in music, male students usually go for sports and science related clubs. It's probably true almost every where in the world. Forget about joining wind instruments club, I have even seen guys prefer to join football, basketball, rugby, martial arts clubs etc. over badminton, table tennis clubs etc. because the latter clubs have higher female enrollments. |

The original composer for Crescent Moon Dance is listed as Matsuda Akito during the credits who is the music composer for Hibike! Euphonium. Wait until the OST is released. :) |

| what happend in the final was pretty obvious. ^^ so in that point no bonus points. but i rly liked the tension before the performance. Kyoto Animation brought that on screen rly well! my heart beat faster than normal that time. xD art style still amazing as always. ^^ i dont like, that you couldnt hear some other concert bands for a moment, so it didnt feel like a competition. also the music piece 北宇治 [Kitauji] played wasnt as amazing i firstly expected to be. but it was still very beautiful, so dont get me wrong. ^^ thougts on the entire show: more episodes from the start for this story arc would have been better, because there are so many people. every side characters problems were over/solved so fast or they are still open or the screen time for them were to short in my eyes. with more episodes there would have been a better „world building“. another weak point in my … ears is the OST. its still really good and beautiful and i cant wait to hear the 北宇治 music piece or the duett 久美子 [Kumiko] and 麗奈 [Reina] played on that mountain. but i have to say, the rest (score) is nothing special. the score from 四月は君の嘘 [shigatsu wa kimi no uso] is better, sorry 響け！ユーフォニアム and 松田彬人 [Matsuda Akito] … =/ but i rly like the opening song, which jumped on a high rank in my personal hall of fame!!! =) i hope, there will not be a movie, because i think it would be to short to tell everything right. i hope there will be a second season which can erase the weak points out of my mind. ^^ ah, i give this beautiful show a 0,86 and i hope the new material (if any) brings the average value higher . =) |
| Ahh I really hope there will be a second season. I love this anime, the characters and the music, 8/10 :3 |
| ~Where's Gnasty Gnorc? I'll torch him!~ |
| I'm glad they won and are moving forward. They really worked hard and there performance was solid! |

| I'm not sure whether I should rate this 7 or 8 but overall it's a solid show. Hopefully there's a movie about them in Nationals. |
| KyoAni/10 |
| Fantastic artwork, great music, fluid animation, cute girls, what else can you ask for? One of the best this season alongside Oregairu/SNAFU. 10/10 |

| Hmm it was pretty good, gonna re-watch it someday because I feel I'm missing something. I mean it was artistically one of the most beautiful series I've ever seen but man, script was not as strong. I feel that there were maybe too many characters which I should care, but I don't because I don't know them and haven't developed proper emotional attachment to them. But I dunno, it was pretty good 7/10. And oh yeah, OP was da best. |
-Skyleo- said: Then, Matsuda Akito must be a great composer ! Crescent Moon Dance is very well written, I really enjoyed it. :) http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1382867&show=100#msg40619682 |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| I'd like the series more without the yuri baiting. All these suggestive hugs and touches looked ridiculous and created too much drama on the forums. This was the best ship for me |
-Skyleo- said: You're welcome. I had to do some digging on Youtube last night just to find this. Now I will await for the soundtrack. It would sacrilegious if neither of the contest pieces weren't on it.Thanks for sharing, mate. Even if this is only a midi mockup, it sounds lovely, and I'm looking forward to the final recording of this piece. It really reminds me some Edward Gregson piece such as this one : |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| I was very tense during the performance, really wanted them to win. I shed a lot of tears at the end. Overall, this show is pretty much high school drama done PERFECT. I really enjoyed it and has become one of my favorites. |
| That ending was gold ! Seriously this was seriously the best anime of this season ! If it's not of all time I was so tense during that all last episode, my heart was beating so fast ... when they began to play I cried cause we all could heard how awesome they improved ! So now I have to ask ? Will this have a sequel ? A new season, OVA, movies ... at least something to show us the nationals? |
| Amazing finale. They're going to the Nationals! KyoAni better make a season 2 / OVA /Movie for this one. And I love the orchestra version of Dream Solister (The OP) that was played in the end. |
 |
| That was a great show. Very entertaining. |
| Not bad storytelling, the final was to be expected given that there is confirmation for a second season, I'm curious to see how it will evolve interpersonal relationships and the events to get the coveted goal of the national competition. Drawings and animations very beautiful, great scenery; even slower pace in the TV series has been appreciated for concreteness fielded so far, I am satisfied to see I am how much I hope that next season is still better than the first. I am also happy to see Kumiko with the ponytail and he could see in the episode the vastness of characters that have driven this TV series. My vote, for now, is 8/10. |

Imeon said: L-Ryoshi said: Um.... is there a rule saying you can't get married when you're in school? And who wears an engagement ring on their wedding ring finger? Snip Pointless argument for arguments sake. You must have too much time on your hands. Would suggest you go find a hobby. If you're talking about Japanese culture, it's not even common for married people to wear their wedding bands out in public. The picture showed a ring on the wedding ring finger distinctly to indicate who the lady was (Taki's wife). Also, as shanimebib mentioned, the clothes she was wearing were probably not a school uniform as you are so adamantly convinced about. If you have issues with our observations, then pray do tell who you think that girl in the picture was, if not Taki's wife? |

| The final episode: Radiant, ethereally beautiful in both image and sound (Reina's solo especially), and soulful. The most stunning aspect of the episode was how it highlighted the character development of, pretty much everyone, from the very start, with Kumiko showing a very, very different "weaking routine" than she had earlier in the series, looking alert and determined as she quickly silenced her alarm. The playfulness between Reina and Kumiko was also huge, showing how much the usually stoic Reina has changed, at least when she is around her ... well, let's say her best friend... for now... But, of course, the music was the real show stopper and Reina's solo was, perhaps, the climax of the entire series. If there is more, I will trust that the author wrote another compelling, slice of life story for us to enjoy in the next book or two. If not, I can continue shipping Reina x Kumiko without being disillusioned! Win-Win! |

So if that's actually the case and this genre has finally been utterly perfected can anime maybe move on from it for just a little bit as far as expending much of the industries resources on it? |
| Loved it throughout. Slow pacing and there was drama but thts just how it is in real life.. THE ENDING THOUGH. 9/10 |

They pretty much already have stopped making good ones and I'm inclined to agree that they might as well stop making ones that aren't going to aspire to anything Nice try though, I know what you were going for but i don't work like most people. |
| Ah, I will seriously miss this series. I hope the season 2, if there would be any, will come up soon. I wonder who's the kid in the picture on Taki sensei's notebook? Anyway, Ponytail looks great for Asuka, Kumiko and Kousaka. The music is really nice too! |

| Well actually this ending felt rather rushed to be honest, it was still quite lovely but if there is going to be a second season now I'm not exactly sure. I would watch if there would be any but as it is now it's a half closed ending. either way this anime was pretty lovely to see it had some amazing art and animation combined with a cute and fun yet dramatic setting! All in all a pretty lovely anime! |

If there is more, I will trust that the author wrote another compelling, slice of life story for us to enjoy in the next book or two. If not, I can continue shipping Reina x Kumiko without being disillusioned! Win-Win! You lost. The last episode is equal to the last chapter of volume 1 of light novel. Kyoani followed the novels. You lost in both cases. First case, if not there is a second season, to boost the sale of light novel and you know that the light novel is heterosexual, "Kumiko and Shuuichi is the official and canon, romantic couple of Hibike! Euphonium created by Ayano Takeda." Second case, if there is a second season mean adapting the volume 2 of the light novel, and you're well aware that Reina only have relevance in this volume in Taki-Sense plot, not to mention Reina becomes obsessive and jealous to everything related to your loved Taki-Sensei, especially when another woman is involved and that the deuteragonist of volume 2 is Mizore. Reina in the second novel is pretty much Taki obsessed. She also has a few funny parts. The main focus is really on Nozomi and Mizore. Most of Kumiko’s interactions is with Mizore and Nozomi. When her and Reina talk its mostly about Taki (so I don’t take their intimate scenes as yuribait since Reina is upset about Taki a guy). His plot is a subplot, its more about his past than his relationship with Reina. We get too meet his college buddies, one of them is a girl that makes Reina go Yandere. The only chanse that yuri fans had to win was to KyoAni had made an end original end because, the Reina is the deuteragonist of volume 1, and the story was about the resumption of friendship and Kumiko Reina. More dreamed original end that yuri fans dreamed has not happened. Against facts there are no arguments. Yuri fans just accept defeat, and stop creating arguments and theories unfounded, because you guys do not have real and physical evidence to hold them, you guys just have abstract things like your opinions and personal, tastes to accredit their arguments. What would be treated as a joke if it were taken to a court. And another Shuuichi and Kumico occurs in volume 3 and 4, Volume 2 Reina only have importance in Taki-Sensei plot, is in Volume 2 that are more visible to Reina of obsession and jealousy for your loved Taki-Sensei. It is in Volume 2 that we discover that Reina just wants to be special because of its loved Taki-Sensei, it is in volume 2 which Reina end up finding on the table the the photo of wife dead of Taki-Sensei, the same as appears in last episode of the anime. It is in volume 2 which Taki-Sensei account the Reina about his dead wife, and out of school, Reina and Taki-Sensei call each other by first name. The Reina character created by Yano Takeda is completely straight, she is in love, jealous and obsessive for a man, she wants to become special by a man. His passion for Taki-Sensei has lasted years. Your choice for the current school was due to the presence of Taki-Sensei. And none fan of yuri can change that. When you are trying to rewrite a hitoria through your point of view, personal tastes and desires, is nothing more than pure, fanwank. |

| Fantastic performance. Never expected to like this series so much! The beginning might've not been that great, but the last few episodes made up for all of it. Animation is amazing, of course, and characters are likeable (though I would've loved seeing more development). I enjoyed it so much. Hoping for a second season soon! 7/10 |

bakajo48 said: I would agree with you if this had not previously occurred in various anime KyoAni. More is KyoAni specialize in fujoshibaits and yuribaits. This spoils the story, and distorts the meaning and the real message that the anime wants to pass on. As I read the ronances, I knew KyoAni it would be a pessima choice to adapt the novels, and would end up exaggerating the yuribaits who were present in the novels. Especially when the development and affirmation of the character of the characters begins only occur in volume 2, where the characters openly express their feelings and desires, as with a well-defined personality. It's a real sadness, that this novel has have fallen into the hands of KyoAni, and not in the hand of a company would that focuses on story and plot and that does not appeal to yuribait and fanservice, as the P.A. Work or Madhouse. KyoAni this time it changed very little the source material, in addition to color the yuribaits and two original episodes else is exactly like the novels. Modifications absurd, history totally rewritten, and serious changes in plot, only occurred in Chuunibyou and Kyoukai no Kanata, the latter has been completely rewritten and reworked the story. Here the main animes KyoAni with fujoshibaits and yuribaits.  |

| Great finale, better than what I expected. I'm glad they made it, they deserved it. Just by watching the performance you could tell they put their hearts into it. Although this show had a slow start, it got better at some point thanks to the good music & drama. Asuka didn't get enough screen time so 7/10. |

| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| A great ending to a surprisingly good Anime! I really enjoyed it, despite the somewhat boring initial few episodes. The last 4 episodes were fantastic! 7/10. I hope there's a S2 in the future. |

| AND SO, THE BAITING GOES ON! |
| this series is awesome! im hoping for season 2 or a movie. rate 10/10 |
| What a performance, that was epicly beautiful. KyoAni delivered it again. 8/10, those little moments tho. Besides my shipping googles, im glad that they are going on to the second round, man a second season please along with Amagi. BiriBiri21 said: AND SO, THE BAITING GOES ON! Can't deny this. |

Here the main animes KyoAni with fujoshibaits and yuribaits. Yeah pal I know. I watched KyoAni animes before and I know how terrible they’re in writing. That’s why I suggest everyone take a chill pill and enjoy what Kyoani gives us. I mean, despite the queerbaiting kyoani obviously did, people still watch their series right? Queerbaiting is probably one of Kyoani's modus operandi to promote their series. It's just business for them, and it'll be difficult for us to change their way of thinking. And personally, I'm easily pleased. A bit of yuri or yaoi is fine for me as long as it's still in a normal level. Then again I prefer to watch two boys/girls getting romantically involved rather than seeing boobs appearing on my screen every one minute. |

| This show is so good, KyoAni made a beautiful animation and art. This last episode was like I expected, a lot of cute moments with a beautiful concert. The anime in general was great, my favorites are of course Reina and Kumiko. I was hoping to see a Yuri relationship but it was fine like that. A perfect mix between problem with the band and the music. I am looking forward to see the season 2 ! |
| This show far exceeded my expectations of what it would be at the start of the season, Reina is really interesting, would love to see more of this but i don't think it'll ever be as good as this. |
