Kumiko
No Ishidate episode
>>139057097
A lot of things.
A bit too gay.
not enough feet
remember when that picture was shown before the show aired? you know the one.
what a total letdown.
>>139057097
Solid 9/10 show, I feel like this is the ceiling of KyoAni's SoL style.
>What went right
Story, characters, Kumiko, Sensei.
>wrong
All the /u/ and anti/pro kyoani shitposting, two of the main characters being irrelevant as fuck
>>139057656
Agreed.
One of the few shows that I actually give a 9.
>>139057097
>What went right?
Two perfect characters in Reina and Kumiko.
>What went wrong?
It was only one cour.
Everything went right except for the yuri pandering. It's a shame that their genuine and moving relationship that they formed was somewhat cheapened with the yuri baiting.
I literally fell asleep during ep 2 of euphonium.
This has never happened to me before.
When I woke up, I shift+deleted the whole folder.
>>139057925
Did you watch Hyouka instead by accident?
>>139057844
>one cour
This was a crime.
>>139057892
You're a retard.
Let me tell you what. Because those characters doesn't have any kind of romantic tension or relationship going on, the studios only put that kind of shit there so idiots take the bait, who are delusional /u/-fags who watch every anime with pink colored lenses, buy more shit.
>>139058012
>>139057844
It's getting a second season. Stop crying.
>>139057925
>that pic
>that shitty opinion
Into the trash it goes.
>>139057097
>right
Looks really good, if a little too 'kyoani-face' for my tastes.
>wrong
It's a fucking band camp anime. If any show could lose on premise alone, it's this fucking thing. Hell, at least with trapped in an MMO stuff, you know the core problem and primary hook from the get go. Like, I hear people circlejerk over it, and I read an entire thread of this 'kumiko' sitposting, and I still have no idea what this show is about. I've no desire to watch this shit. Fuck this show. Like, look at these fags.
>>139057656
>>139057738
Do they think it's good because they like highschool drama and moe and are the K-On audience? Do they think it's good because it's expertly produced, and has characters that are written to seem natural and human? Are they just huge /u/ fags? Do they like it because of the doujins? Did they never actually play in a band, and think band life is gangsta or something?
I don't know because no one actually discusses the actual show.
From what I hear, it wasn't even the best band show that season.
>>139058016
That's my point, you clown. They have no romantic feelings at all, but the overall work is cheapened because they threw in bait to appeal to /u/-fags when it is completely unnecessary and taints a product that otherwise had no real major flaws.
>>139058052
It's not about that. KyoAni hasn't done two cours in years.
>>139057097
Nothing went wrong, best eight episodes show ever made along with True Tears, although I'm not sure why they both had such a strange episode count instead of the usual twelve-thirteen.
>>139058157
>i-it's not action so it's bad!!!
Fuck off.
>>139058052
I'll be honest, I felt like I was watching a beautifully animated imitation of K-On, but with all the fun sucked out.
>What went right?
Kumiko's feet
>What went wrong?
There wasn't enough of them
>>139058157
Did you really type all this nonsense about a show you haven't seen?
>>139058318
not watching hibike euphonium is a better use of my time than watching hibike euphonium
>>139058318
>he actually read it all
I doubted his intelligence after "that premise alone makes you lose", confirmed he was a retard and dismissed his opinion in "at least in trapped in MMO stuff".
Everything went to shit starting with the audition episode. Real good until then though.
>>139058450
Woah so that guy was right? You wrote all that stupid shit about a show you didn't watch? What an autistic retard.
>>139058243
Imitation how?
>>139057097
>What went right?
A perfect Asuka!
>What went wrong?
Ribbon.
>>139058537
Don't bother anon. Anyone who brings up K-On, a totally different kind of show, is retarded.
>>139058537
>Wow, another anime about cute girls in a music club
>'m watching k-on but for brass instruments, oh fuck
>why is this show so boring, why is this show taking itself so seriously
>k-on never did that, what are they doing
>ZZZZZZZZZZ
>>139058624
I don't know, anon. Late game Asuka was kinda a bitch.
>>139058243
It's nothing like K-On.
It's a "sports" anime, with music being the sport: young new "coach" who wants to aim for the Nationals with his shitty team, ambitious first years and complacent senpai, harsh training, fight for the places of regular and tension in the club, budding camaraderie almost homo-erotic,...
Free is more slice-of-life than this.
>>139058624
Absolutely backward. Asuka proved herself to be an edgy bitch while Ribbons redeemed herself entirely.
>>139058157
it was a pretty accurate depiction of high school band
from the specific character archetypes to the brutal politics, it was super nostalgic of high school
too much gay shit without delivering on it. het/yuri pick one and commit or else it just obfuscates the story
it did make for some entertaining threads however
>>139058898
>het/yuri pick one
Why? It's not a romance story.
If anything, it's a romance with music.
No niggers.
Shuuichi didn't get to fuck the Kumiko
>>139058842
Asuka is not edgy, she just doesn't give a shit about others. I agree about Ribbons, she's not that bad.
Asuka is dishonest, Ribbons is too honest.
>>139057097
Everything went right and nothing went wrong because it was AOTY.
>>139059014
>Asuka is not edgy, she just doesn't give a shit about others.
>Oh man I'm so much cooler and more mature than the people around me feelings are so annoying
Not caring about the people around you is edgy.
>>139058930
Is not even a romance.
>>139058936
And hopefully he won't. He was a total faggot and doesn't deserve such great girl like Kumiko.
>>139059173
Not that anon.
Your reasoning is not wrong, I even agree with you, but she wasn't being edgy, you're misusing that word and that makes you look like a retard.
>>139059401
Fine fine, I shouldn't be using stupid words like edgy. I still think it kind of applies though. That above it all attitude is archetypical cool teenager stuff.
>>139058318
>>139058457
>>139058504
Guy who actually wrote it here, and yes. Conglaturations on missing the point.
I've no idea what the show's 'about' because not only is what I've read not interesting enough to warrant googling, the threads I stumbled into were expressly low-quality and uninformative (like this one).
All I know, I know from the odd webm or promo art, and the premise on anichart. That was enough nothingness to keep me from actually watching it.
>>139058234
No one said this. If I wanted to watch people play instruments, I'd go to a concert. If I wanted to watch cartoons pretend to play instruments, we had Gorillaz for that.
>>139058893
I was in a high school band. Some years, it was fun. Once our music teacher retired, she was replaced with some skinny hipster guy with a high-pitched voice. Nothing was the same.
I don't doubt that it's an accurate portrayal. My chief concern is that I wouldn't watch an anime about a concert band. What's the conflict? The only drama there would take place during or after school, not during band time. Wouldn't that make this just high school drama but with the occasional song?
Very well directed, movie-tier visuals. No complaints other than I'm not a fan of character dramas and I hate Reina with a burning passion.
Just standard Kyoani.
>>139060080
>What's the conflict? The only drama there would take place during or after school, not during band time. Wouldn't that make this just high school drama but with the occasional song?
No because most of the drama is related to the band. Things like the band members not taking practice seriously, members no being satisfied with who gets what solo parts, etc. There's some relationship drama but that last all of one or two episodes.
Pros:
Good characters, mainly Kumiko
Nice animation
Wasn't as boring as K-ON!
Asuka in the first half of the season
Cons:
Too much yuri baiting for no reason except to troll.
Ribbon-chan
Asuka in the second half of the season
>>139060080
And he continues to babble about shit he knows nothing about.
But I really like this show so I'm going to do you a favor and tell you what the primary conflict of the show is. At its core, it's about the main character's journey through understanding what music means to her and what she wants music to mean for her. All of the conflict revolves around this idea.
As far as music, it mostly focuses on how the music effects people rather than the music itself. There's only one extensive performance scene.
If you like character drama, you should watch it. If you like good animation, you should watch it. If you were in high school band, don't be surprised if you get really, really specific nostalgia. I highly recommend the show.
>>139060457
That's too real. I did most of that.
>>139060613
Was that so hard? Thank you though. I guess I may accidentally download the first 3 episodes. I'll give it a try tomorrow.
You will never hit on Natsuki as you visit her everyday.
;_;
>>139060080
I didn't read your post. But I'll say it's shit because it has words like that one post in /pol/ but without all the fun and following your logic it's a totally valid complain and I'm right.
>>139060398

>>139060570
Top tier post.

>>139061561
GAS THE RIBBON.Is it pronounced Ray-Bon or Reeh-bon?
>>139060570
>Asuka in the second half of the season
I really liked this. It rounded her out as a character. In the beginning she's just the quirky upperclassmen who loves the euphonium and teasing the underclassmen. Then as the show goes on, you start to see the cracks in her character. She's a perfectionist, she's focused on herself entirely, she doesn't care about any of the band's politics or drama. She just wants to improve and has no time for anyone else's crap. Even if it's to the detriment of the group.
She drops her bubbly facade a little bit and starts to act more human.
>>139061739
It certainly gave her more depth and made her character more interesting, but I can't help but dislike her.
Like I like what they did, but at the same time I don't like that new her. Not in the "not mah asuka" way, but more like I enjoy hating her now.
>what went wrong?
Only gripe is that the cast was really big and really good but didn't fit the short length. Felt like every side character had a story to tell which (fairly) got sidelined for the more important members. They still did a great job with what they had, I just think the same duration of plot could've worked even better with twice as many if not even more episodes. Absolutely stunning show otherwise, one of my favourites to come outta the decade so far. Can't wait for season 2.
>>139061739
Her attitude makes more sense once you understand her reasoning but sadly that is not covered in season 1 so taken at face value it's just kind of like "Oh, this character is just kind of a cunt now. Okay."
>>139062103
>the cast was really big
Not really. Maybe you think that because KyoAni gave the filler characters a distinctive look, but the cast was your average one.
I'll be very disappointed if they flesh out a romance in season 2.
>>139062243
I'll be very mad if Shuuichi ends up with Kumiko.
>>139062177
Unique designs play a part, sure, but I never felt this way for K-On or Hyouka. I think because we spend more time around the other characters (as opposed to a small clubroom) I got more attached? Like I'd have wanted more Midori and Hazuki, sure, but hell you'll see some unnamed character slowly getting better at drums throughout the course of the show without ever being the focus of the shot or having a speaking line. Characters on the side like that progress throughout the show, and I'd have loved to see it take advantage of that, y'know?
>>139062564
Yeah, the designs for background characters were incredibly good. I also wanted to know more about them, even if it was just something brief, like why Seal-chan carries a seal plush? Silly stuff like that.
>>139057097

The novel means jackshit.
KyoAni doesn't follow the source material and ends making a totally different series, slightly based on the LN.
>>139057097
>What went wrong?
It was boring. That's why it failed

Some of the worst threads I've ever been in.
I'm just going to avoid them during S2.

You forgot the most important part:
Hide the shit posts.
>>139063068
I thought it was very compelling, was there anything in particular you didn't like or was it just overall boring to you?
>>139057097
For an anime about high school band, Haruchika was better.
>>139063145
Actually? I only watched the first episode but none of the characters appealed to me at all, the premise seemed hamfisted and the mystery was just plain goofy. Sure as hell didn't look as good, in my opinion. Would you say it's worth a second chance?
>>139063065
That's why Kyoani a shit. They can't even follow the plot of famous and award-winning source material. Of course their "slightly based" anime will never be a masterpiece again (like their fair adaptations, i.e. Haruhi)
>>139057097
>What went right?
Cute girls

Everything else. I thought it would be cute girls doing jazz. Not some forced romance shit with bandcamp marching music shit. Disappointing

>>139063231
He's meme'ing you. It was nothing like Hibike.
Haruchika was about the love triangle and solving silly mysteries, they skipped the important contests and only played music once in the last episode.
>>139063272
Why isn't it okay to diverge from source material? I can understand wanting a faithful adaptation if you're a fan, but for me at least, I'd take a director with an original take and a vision over a by-the-panel adaptation. I'm not strictly defending Kyoani or anything, I just hate this concept in general. Adaptations should feel free to be their own thing.
>>139063373
I figured as much.
>>139063272
Nah, definitely nah. Hibike has been their first truly great show since Hyouka.
I liked Chuu2 S1, Amagi andFree!, but they were only slightly above mediocre.
>>139062973
Kumiko is the MC, dumbfuck
>>139063466
You saying it just because you like lesbians.
>>139063480
I'm absolutely in the minority here but I just wanna chime in and say Tamako Market is one of my favourite shows from the studio, and I liked it more than pretty much all of their typically-considered great ones. People often overlook it but I think it's incredibly endearing.
>>139063017

>>139063578
I mean, I do like lesbians. But I stand by what I said even without 'em.

>>139063136

Kumiko is the best teen girl protagonist in ages.
>>139063581
To be honest I have never seen Tamako, I don't remember why I skipped that season, so I wouldn't know.
>>139063703
Were there really that many? I can remember that one scene that there is a nice webm of, and I think there was a tree by the park bench but other than that, I dunno. Pretty though, and they make for good imagery. They may be a bit cliché but I like them.
>>139063581not him butTamako Market is one of my favorite anime in general.
I actually like it more than the movie.
>>139063781
That's actually a good word to describe this show.
>>139063827
I think it's worth looking into if you liked K-On. I think the movie's worth looking into no matter what, it blew me away.
>>139063581
For me, Tamako is a 10/10 show marred by a terrible comic relief character with way too much focus and a horrible, pointless subplot that added nothing to the story. Still a good show, but it could have been far better.
>>139063913
I'll try to give it a watch, butI've been saying the same thing about Kanon for nearly 7 years now.
Would you let the Hibikes be your tourist guides?http://www.okeihan.net/recommend/euphonium/
Beware: Rare kumiko there.
>>139063781
Yes?
>>139063863
I still like the movie better but the show was a real gem, always bothers me a bit when it gets lumped in with so called lesser series.
>>139063954
Lots of people don't like Dera but I didn't mind him. I get what you're saying though, absolutely. I agree that it could be better but honestly it just had a lot of heart and that really worked for me.
I'm really excited for season 2. Maybe a summer release? That's probably too hopeful.
>>139064096
I find it pretty difficult to defend a show unreservedly when a major element being removed would make the show better in every way.
>>139064105
I think summer is reasonable. But hey we'll probably find out really soon since they have that panel coming up.
>>139064105
I thought it was coming the next Spring. It could've been the icing on he cake to such good looking season.
>>139064186
I'm not a super critical person so I don't really think that way. You get what you get, I liked what I got, QED. I liked Dera and the islanders but I'd have loved more time to flesh out the other people in the market as well as better handle that plotline.
>>139064232
Like this spring? As in a couple weeks? We might get the movie at some point but definitely not the show. Also what are you looking forward to? I'm having trouble getting excited for too much.
>>139057925
you were in possession of a surefire sedative and you deleted it.
you fool.
>>139064436
>As in a couple weeks?
Yup. I swear I saw it in the Spring schedule of Anichart some time ago.
>what are you looking forward to?
SoL shows. Specially Kuma Miko, Motorcyrcles and Hai Furi
Rinne
ConRevo S2
Boku no Hero Academia
PriPara 3Terraformars S2
There are others that I wanna give a shot like the Trigger one and Sakamoto-san.
Ribbons, second best girl behind Natsuki. So glad we getting much more of her in S2.
>>139062317
If htey give it time and development, and actually make the pair feel more natural towards each other, it won't even be that bad. But considering he'd been shafted mostly in terms of importance, that's pretty unlikely.
>>139058624
whoever the fuck drew these boobs just fucking ruined a very good picture. it doesn't look anything like boobs, doesn't make it any sexier, doesn't have any artistic value. it's like "i fucking hate boobs so i'll just draw it in the worst possible way"
>>139064697
It's currently TBA on Anichart. I would bet on Summer, maybe Fall.
>>139064697
The bear one looks nice. I really like slice of life but honestly few of the new ones seem very appealing to me. I'm mostly excited for Luluco and Tonkatsu DJ Agetarou. In any other season two hype shows would be plenty for me, but they're both shorts so eh.
Would you compare Hibike to a sport anime?
>>139065046
Sure. It's not Ping Pong, but there's competition, practice, passion, teamwork, and a strive for greatness.
>>139065046
Yes.
Brass Bands are pretty much like a sport anyway, if LoL gets to be a sport then Bands, that actually require physical work, could also be considered one.
The show was pretty much built around your typical sports plot: "the underdogs try to win, they lose, they practice and work hard and get to win". They only missed enemy bands.
>>139065046
I've made the comparison to Ping Pong a bunch of times. It's not like the usual sports shounen but it's definitely a competition drama. Where something like Haikyuu is about overcoming obstacles on the path to success, Ping Pong and Eupho deal with more meta topics like motivation and talent and the like.
>>139057097
>What went right?
/u/fags BTFO
What went wrong?
Katou never retried her audition. She just rolled over and gave up.
>>139057097
Not a lot went right. It was pretty dull to me.
A bit of a problem for me, other than it wasn't very engaging and feels like it was trying to cater to someone else was the yuri bait too. If I find out a les-bait is in something I just avoid it because I'd rather have effort put into developing the hetero relationship or them take it a little seriously. Fortunately I didn't even make it past the first three episodes and didn't have to worry about that this time but it's definitely annoying.
>>139063068
You must've never been in concert/marching band.
>>139065350
On that note, how many of you people have participated in band?
If you did, you know exactly what the characters were going through.
>>139065382
>actually joining the band in real life
I'm not autistic enough for that.
>>139065321
It's crazy how hung up on this people can be. You say you didn't make it past episode 3 but hell the word yuri never even crossed my mind until episode 8. And even then, I thought their relationship was convincing and well written, certainly something the creators took seriously.
>>139065382

>tfw real life version of sleepy-chan

>>139065433
Yeah, the Yuri subtext started after the second half of the series, some people are just retarded.
>>139065561
I wasn't really complaining but just noting that they could've gone even more sports-like with the introduction of enemy bands.
I loved the show. Shame about the amount of yuribaiting though, every thread was ruined by that.
Hopefully KyoAni tones it down on season 2.
I want to bend her over a table and bum her.
>>139065683
I'm not sure, but I think in S2 they'll start getting more into which bands they're up against in the Kansai regionals. I still think most of the issues are internal though.
>>139066215

if i were to pick that up again today would i be able to become proficient? and how would that translate to trumpet or other brass instruments? i should totally be asking /mu/ isntead
>>139066556
Trumpet and cornet are basically identical. But considering how early you quit, I doubt your skills were ever extensive or that they would be around at all now.
>>139066501
No, you got it wrong. I want to abduct Ribbons. Tie up, gag and then force her to watch how I rape her beloved Kaori senpai, enjoying her despair and impotence while I play with the defenseless butt of her waifu.

Only wish Midori could get a little more character beyond "I like music and shipping my friends with random guys"
Don't know how can people say the show is boring. It was so engaging that I felt very nervous before every major performance; Even more that characters themselves probably. And I've never ever been in a band or played an instrument.

So simple it didn't have any flaws.
And that is the skeleton of the anime.
Then they added a soul to the anime.
That is the music.
Beautiful music.
And then they came up with a nice animation style and beautiful haircuts. Altogether with the cosy brown colour schemes of the anime, this makes up the flesh.
So theres that.
Something so simple that it cannot have flaws, altogether with beautiful music, cool animation and gorgeous haircuts.
All these factors make this show so good.
My biggest complain is the severe lack of Natsuki in the show.
Change Safaya's role with Natsuki's and this becomes one of the best anime I've ever watched.

why don't they show more of the tall band member

The movie is scheduled for the Fall and the anime is presumed also to be airing in the same season. She can't handle 2 projects at the same time. It's not the KyotoAni way.

Will it be a recap of the series?
>>139069510
It gave Hazuki something to do, but yeah he was pretty much filler.
>>139069613
He means deaf girl movie.
>>139069331
Oh, so it's just your guess. I don't think we know when the second season is coming at all, but even if you're right, she'd probably stay on for an episode director, at least. Plenty of KyoAni directors have worked on more than one project at once in at least that respect.
And don't even get me started on Hanada Jukki.
>>139069516
I hope S2 is a 2 cour anime. I want to watch the story unfold till the end.
>>139069773
What's the end supposed to be anyway? The nationals?

GEE I WONDER.
>>139069717
Oh, that.
>>139069873
Oh no, perish the thought.
>>139069899
>>139069935
Fuck off niggas. In every fucking anime the MCs fail to reach/win the Nationals so I don't know if that's the end game or if there's something beyond that.
does there exist a pic of a naked asuka holding her euphonium to hide her private parts?
>>139069873
The end has Kumiko and Reina engaging in intense hot lesbian sex in an adolescent non-gay kind of way.
I want to do very adolescent things with Asuka

To be honest, I really can't stand the Yuri bait in episode 8, mostly because Reina acts like a sweet girl (she is actually psycho stalker imo).
I only watch that episode up until Minidori shows up.

Lucky sod. Probably loves sidewinding her.

We live in a world where in a thread yesterday when asked to rate the general /a/ faggot rated Boku Dake an average of somewhere around 6.5/10 but this show is a solid 9/10 and is a ceiling for something. I really need to stop coming to this moe-fest shithole.

Ribbon-chan is one of the most realistic and admirable characters I've ever seen in an anime with a high school setting.
>>139060570
>Ribbon-chan
>Asuka in the second half of the season
Both of these points are objectively wrong. Ribbons was the best, most interesting antagonist in anime for years. And Asuka has been beautifully setup to be the most interesting character in the second season. She's shrouded in mystery.

>>139074702
I'm not surprised.
>>139073367
>forced/unnatural drama
I think you forget just how big of drama whores girl this age can be. It's the characters forcing it, not the story itself.
>>139073367
The drama was well done in my opinion.
>>139057097
>what went right?
Best girl.
>what went wrong?
It kinda got boring for me in the last few episodes.
>>139074852
I'm not surprised either.
>>139074702
What's not to get? Ribbons was initially presented as bitchy and villainous, but by the end of the cour she was the most sympathetic character. She had and unwavering, naive, blind devotion, loyalty to her friend and idol. And for that loyalty she was punished in the most ironic way possible: she was forced to sit and watch while that idol was torn down and publicly humiliated in a display that Ribbons herself had been largely responsible for.
There were two major emotion climaxes to this show. The main one was the final performance, peaking during the solo. The other was the moment Ribbons burst into tears after Kaori conceded. The drama between Kumiko and Reina vs Ribbons and Kaori was downright shakespearean. Kaori is basically faultless, she's portrayed as basically perfect as a person, despite not being quite as good as Reina at the trumpet. But Ribbons, through her own arrogant faith in Kaori is forced to drag her through the mud. She is cruelly punished.
And it's this arc, seeing how completely her character has been turned around, that makes her great. She has the most dramatically effective arc of any character I've seen in at least the last year of seasonal anime I've watched, probably longer. Say what you will about the show, or dislike her character for personal reasons, but she was beautifully written.
Which section would you join and why?

None. As mentioned in the OVA, being surrounded by girls doesn't mean you get a harem

Nothing

Dropped this show after 3-4 episodes. Was I wrong?
I like the animation and the characters are pretty cute, but for me the story and premise wasn't enough to keep me interested. Just found it very lacking.
I want to give it another chance just in case I judged it unfairly and it's actually good but I'm not sure.
>>139066730
>dfc is the best
>>139077951
It's Midori.
>>139079202
It does take a while for the tension to ramp up. But if the premise and story didn't hook you, it might not be worth it.
>>139079202
If you want to give it another chance, then go ahead.
>>139079202
I thought it was excellent, but it's probably not for you. It's plot and character driven through and through so if that didn't interest you then hey, what can ya do?
>>139072472
You really should
>>139079202
I guess if you don't like it by episode 5 then it's just not for you.
>right
most of it
>wrong
drama was a tad forced, and sometimes it might have been best to tone down all the filters, especially during that final concert.
>>139080176
Damn, I thought the final concert was mind-blowingly gorgeous. I've actually watched that episode like 6 or so times now cause I thought it was so good.
>>139079953
I like plot and character stuff, I guess I just didn't find the plot that appealing. At least with other Kyo-ani series that weren't so plot-driven, I was actually entertained.
Maybe it's not my cup of tea but I'm gonna get it another go seeing as it's still so popular here.
>>139057097
>What went right?
Most of it.
>What went wrong?
Dragged a bit at the beginning. Shoeitchy.
>>139080323
Do you like competition dramas, like sports shows at all? It's very much like that, a well-written show about struggling with motivation and talent and dealing with surrounding issues. I think even if you can't relate to the band stuff specifically there's something very universal about it that I hope you'll enjoy.
Best girlfriend.
Probably lets you have anal in the first month too.

More sexually exploited hibikes when?
>>139082043
Never. They're pure maidens, and they're not even sexual.
>>139075686
Trumpet because it's the only instrument I have any experience in even if I suck at it.
>>139080461
Never ventured into sports anime because sports has never really appealed to me. The only music anime I've seen are moefag shows like K-on and idol hell, i.e. Idolm@ster and LL.
>It's very much like that, a well-written show about struggling with motivation and talent and dealing with surrounding issues. I think even if you can't relate to the band stuff specifically there's something very universal about it that I hope you'll enjoy.
When you put it like that, it does sound much more enjoyable than I thought.
>>139065382
No, I was part of the drama club so there was kinda the same idea of coming together as a team.
>>139082043
Post it all dammit
>>139057097
>Kumiko, Reina, Midori, Ritsu clone
Still mad about how Kyoani force that formation. They are not K-On for god's sake.
The real formation should be
>Kumiko, Asuka, Reina, & Natsuki
>>139083481
What?
I just finished watching episode 2.
The art is really amazing but when does this start getting good for real?
I also already tried both HS and FFF but they both seem to be mistranslating.
>>139083481
It's not an ensemble show at all. Kumiko is the primary focus and everyone else has more or less equal focus, with Reina getting slightly more than the rest of the supporting cast.
