This was honestly the most shocking sequence I've seen out if all the shows this year. Holy shit.

Try harder.
>>135272476
It's a money-making thing.
Otaku are degenerates.
Who wouldn't fall for her?
>>135271412
Yet there are people on the board right now who don't accept that Kumiko is a lesbian.
This was a terrible week for Hibike threads. Nothing to do with the episode, which was really good. But Hibike threads were unsalvageable after this.
>>135272523
As are anons in general.
Kumiko and Reina are some of the most erotic characters I've seen in awhile
>>135272503
I will never forgive them for baiting this hard.

>>135272930
I know, I know, but christ almighty they should have toned that mountain scene down if they planned on a faithful adaptation.
>>135272638
Honestly threads were bad from the 2nd PV. First came the Keion memes and comparisons then came band blogging and general faggotry and then we got into endless yuri vs het shitposting with some ribbons hate sprinkled in. Hibike had one of the worse threads this entire year.
>>135273134
> Hibike had one of the worse threads this entire year.
Are you kidding me?
They were the time of my life
>>135273204
Oh trust me I loved every single second of shitposting especially on the Mountain episode with those 4 simultaneous 500+ threads but compared to comfy threads like Wakaba Girl and Working they fucking sucked.
It's her description of that bait hook that lead to yuribait.
>>135273134
>band blogging
I kinda liked that. It's because Hibike was surprisingly faithful to the feel of actually being in a high school band. It was super-nostalgic.
I guess you could say the /u/ discussion was unavoidable, too, but the difference was that the /u/ vs anti-/u/ shitflinging was so awful. People could leave the lazy K-ON! trolling and the bandblogging alone, but they couldn't leave the /u/ hornet nest be.
Anyways, the real travesty of all this is that after so much yuribaiting shit, there are only 3 (THREE) Kumiko/Reina doujins on the Panda, and they're all non-H.
This is Hibike
>>135272503

The yuribaiting in this show was so good.
Also the show itself was good but that's an afterthought
>>135273727

I get a lot of the complaints that people have just slapped on yuri goggles, I really do, and you can look at most of their scenes either way, but good lord >>135272503 is just gay as fuck.
>>135274946
But Reina's a weirdo, you know that.
>>135274982
Man, even if she's a weirdo that is some gay shit.
I can accept just about everything else, even the rest of the mountain scene, as them just having a rather unique friendship, but that scene was going too far. Fucking KyoAni.
>>135275075
Oh boy another deluded yurigoggles thread?
>>135275233
Whoops, didn't mean to quote
>>135275233
Actions speak louder than words.
Reina's actions say "I want to keep Kumiko in the band room after dark and show her proper fingerings until her voice crescendos loud enough that the neighborhood hears it".
>>135275233
I accept that the show does not intend to portray the relationship between Kumiko and Reina as romantic in the end, and that their interactions can absolutely be read as those of platonic friends, but you have to admit that even in that instance >>135272503 is some pretty blatant baiting. This should have been toned down.
>>135272985
It's the fate of us euphonium players to be forgotten.
>>135272985
because her relevance is a focus later, not early on
>>135271412
Lolo

>>135275075
It's not like it's super uncommon for kids to unintentionally come across with gay body language, especially the weird ones. It's even more common with girls because they don't have that self-aware terror of someone misconstruing something they do as gay-leaning and ruining their social life with the accusation. Weird people, especially those that are exceptionally self-unaware, will act or say things all the time that come across differently than how they intended, including coming across as too touchy-feely or downright gay.
I mean, pretty much anyone can see Reina was acting pretty gay on the mountain, but that's different from being gay or even from having even a shred of gay feelings. It probably never occurred to her that touching another girls lips could be seen as sexual, especially if she doesn't see girls that way.
>>135274573
>Hibike! Euphonium Crystal

>>135275473
Nah.
Their relationship isn't normal. Maybe for Japan, but I have my doubts. I've seen some very strong girl friends in my time and they've certainly not been so...romantic. When you really become strong friends with someone, usually you end up like siblings.
Not saying a little gay can't/never happen(s), but it's relatively rare. Reina and Kumiko are so gay my little sister was convinced this was yuri and she doesn't bother at all with the genre.

>>135276102
Counter argument to what? The scene's just not that special.
"OMG THEY'RE TOTALLY GAY FOR EACH OTHER BEST SCENE EVER!"
There's other well done character development scenes in the show too that you literal faggots don't hype up because there's no implied faggotry for you to get off on. You're pathetic.
>>135275709
No it won't. The pretty shitposting going on in these threads will continue in the next season's threads, making them mildly unpleasant, but bearable. The post-episode eight's season one threads were 500+ threads from Tuesday to Friday that were filled with the same rehashed, restated, and reactionary posts/arguments every thread.
Nothing will happen in the second book two that will cause the same massive shitstorm as the first season. Everybody pretty much knows the whole entire plot of the novels now, so there will be no more surprises unless KyoAni goes completely off course (which they won't).
>>135276186
Now you're trying too hard.
>>135276198
I heard this other books are more gay. Maybe Reina and Kumiko will have sex.
>>135276198
it should
Shuichi is a lousy love interest
I'm not even saying make it end in /u/. Hell, make it end in nothing. From what I understand, the later story isn't really about Kumiko anyway.
>>135276186
The scene on the mountain the pretty great. It's Kumiko's turning point as a character and it's done extremely well.
*farts*
What would their sex be like?
>>135276549
Reina would clumsily try to do all the work and melt like butter as soon as Kumiko did anything in return.
>>135276549
Platonic.
>>135276592
>Platonic sex
how does that even work
>>135276198
Meh. If they adapt the pool scene in the night and do as much yuribaiting as they did in EP 8 there will be more shitposting than ever before.
>>135276549
Lots of loud noises.
>>135276186
>There's other well done character development scenes in the show too that you literal faggots don't hype up because there's no implied faggotry for you to get off on.
So we agree that this scene displays a remarkable level of physical intimacy when compared to the rest of the show, then? Good to hear.
I don't think they were acting overtly sexual or anything other than just being close. My friends and I have done similar things and I wouldn't say we were being yuriyuri.
>>135276046

>>135276272
>>135276663
If we take everything at face value, both the author and directors have expressed that they don't see Kumiko's/Reina's relationship as a serious romantic relationship. Coupled with the fact that elevens doesn't buy anime that directly focus on homosexual relationships, (some of the Nips were even complaining that face-holding in episode 11 was too gay) it's unlikely that KyoAni will change the canon or focus on that aspect of their relationship that much anymore. Any possible Kumiko and Reina gayness will most likely be magically transferred to the two new girls and these two before season two. That way, KyoAni will keep most the audience that wants yuri and the audience that doesn't want Kumiko/Reina to be lesbians.
>>135276549

This isn't a hard concept. If you just look at the animation itself, it would clearly have yuri-undertone or to the degree that it isn't just friendship.
However, if you add that the actually basis for the story says they should be straight and straight only, then the only answer is KyoAni yuribaiting.

This isn't a hard concept. If you look at the animation itself, you clearly see the K-ONs in London.
However, if you add that the actual basis for the story says that the K-ONs never went to London, then the only answer is KyoAni is Londonbaiting.
It's quite simple, really.

Yeah it's the new kyoani show, people are hype because it looks like a battle shounen, at least in presentation. Trailer had tons of ass, leg, and tits shots and was focused on the main girl doing a flashy fight against some monster in a school yard.

No, people hype because it's a kyoani show.
>>135282381

>and yuri doesn't necessarily translate to full blown strict lesbianism. this is what yuri is for the most part.
I hate this. Yuri is such a board term that it's practically meaningless. It can mean literally everything from two girls talking to each other once to onscreen scissoring. And because of that you get people assuming that just because two girls talk to each other they want to scissor each other, since it's all yuri. This makes finding real lesbian content in anime hard as fuck, since 99% of the time people are talking about yuri, they mean the light subtext type of yuri, not the actual lesbians type of yuri.
At one point we had that shoujo-ai term which was helpful in differentiating between real yuri and bullshit subtext yuri but you faggots had to bitch and moan until everyone stopped using that term.
>>135283991
I understand the nature of your post but /a/ isn't exactly intelligent. The usage of the word "yuribait" is a good example.
They literally bumped uglies on screen.
>>135283177
Also it's not as if feelings are set in stone and easy to understand. It's stong and looks romantic, but charaters may not think as far as being gay, and sexual. Not all highschool crushes end in furious sex.

For those seriously arguing that this is AOTS or even AOTY, you're idiots. It's a show with a somewhat interesting plot and good visuals that was completely destroyed by focusing almost exclusively on one relationship that only existed to sell to the otaku.
It's almost sad how badly KyoAni sold out with this show. It really just took what was a legitimately good show and turned it into "let's see how much money we can squeeze out of these fuckers"

The only people say it's not yuri is because later on Reina (black hair) tells Kumiko that she's in love with their band teacher, which is why she's at the school in the first place.
But fuck, guys, everyone's had a crush on their teachers at one point, and even though Reina says it's not a crush, you trust her pubescent judgement? Or that she's seriously considering romantically pursuing him?

Anime lesbians are partaking in yuri, the purest form of love, which does not include rushing into sex with someone who just romantically confessed their love to you atop a mountain. It ruins the nice mood
>>135288195
Because they climbed up there to practice music, no consummate their forbidden love.
>>135288232
It doesn't matter if it's just a silly crush she'll get over eventually.
The point is that she likes him now, which means that her interactions with Kumiko weren't meant to be taken romantically and was just chuuni talk.

>Why fucking bother?
It encourages streamers. Casuals who use web streams as their primary method of consumption see shit like your screenshots and think they're in good company.
>You wouldn't even know if I cropped the shitty logo out.
Well now I'm just going to go:
>1366x738
>>135291564
It doesn't ''encourage'' anyone.
>>135291564
>1366x738
laptop. Which doesn't have any downloaded anime on it. Literally does not fucking matter. It isn't some 480pscreenshot with ads on it. It was a screenshot for explanation purposes.
Kumiko is talking about me again.
>>135291685
No, she's talking about Asuka
>>135291654
Shots of web streams being more common would definitely make them appear to be more accepted on /a/.
>laptop
No duh. Do I have to spell it out for you?
>Taking screenshots at monitor resolution
>>135291737
I could resize it to 1280x720p and it wouldn't matter. I'm not going to do that for every shitty screenshot though because there is 0 reason to.
>>135291851
You shouldn't need to resize. Something is wrong in your workflow.
>>135291890
Not really. You literally wouldn't have responded if I had cropped out the little watermark.
>>135291961
As opposed to figuratively not responding?
>>135291961
That doesn't really mean anything
>>135292034
It means a lot, because the entire argument is void if you don't notice or care to see the difference. I took it from the first shitty stream site that popped up just to get dialogue and scene pictures for some random thread. It means nothing. Just because streaming is shit to watch anime doesn't mean someone can't use it to take a quick screenshot.
Everyone ignoring best girl.

>Implying she isin't a girl
Give good reasons fagott.

The OVA more or less settled the awkardness between them and Hazuki supporting Shuichi getting the fluff.
These yurifags are strangely tenacious and optimistic. Season 2 threads is going to be a fun read.
>>135292919
I don't give a fuck about yuri but the homoerotic scenes between fluffy and her side bitch were pretty much the only reason to watch the show, so I probably wont even watch season 2.
>harmless, off-the-cuff banter between friends
>th-they're totally gay!!
Yurifags, everyone.
>>135293052
Eww get that heterosexual shit outta here.
>>135293052
They had literally no chemistry with each other the entire show. I dunno about what they had in the LN, but the anime showed pretty much nothing.
>>135292985
>I probably wont even watch season 2.
Thank you for deciding to not make my life miserable with your presence.
Oh wait, you said "watch".
He's gonna wait til she graduates
>>135293031
>Literally saying she would die and be happy to herself
>Banter between friends
alright
