False. It has new music (literally all the soundtrack is revised or new), and the performances have been extended and improved.
Hibike Euphonium is a better anime than Kekkai Sensen.

Don't be stupid you fag, KyoAni didn't buy anything. It was Kodansha who approached them, same as long time ago Key, Kadokawa or TBS paid them to animate their respective works. I guess KyoAni still has voice in the production committee, but they don't own anything whatsoever.
wasn't there a movie recently (recap)? why can't I find it anywhere? subs not out yet?
I see the 'KyoAni LNs flop because they never chart' and 'Kekkai is better than Hibikek because it sold more' cuck finally arrived.

>>141006577

>>141012088
Are you sure? It's with the rest of the series that they own.
>>141012678
At the places where it's being aired.
>>141010871
Their chemistry.
I know people often think Reina is dominating Kumiko and that's more or less what you see when watching the show, but I think there is actually more depth to their relationship than just that.
For example during their hike it's Reina who tries to impress Kumiko with her white dress and all that extraordinary stuff. Reina actually prepared for this day, like when she showed of her flashlight app, meaning she put thought in the things she needs to do to make this trip worthwhile. Kumiko came wearing just a casual shirt. The series made us well aware that Kumiko thinks quite often about Reina, but during this event it feels like Kumiko is actually even more important to Reina than Reina is to Kumiko.
It's also apparent that Kumiko is much more social than Reina. This doesn't necessarily mean that Reina is socially incompetent, but she cares less about others than Kumiko does. Though later on it gets apparent that while she does care less, it's not like she doesn't care at all. Once some band members turn against during the trumpet solo drama we can see that it actually gets to her. She is very ambitious and won't let others stand in her way, but this doesn't mean that people hating her isn't gonna hurt her. During this time we can see how much she actually relies on Kumiko to give her strength again.
Reina inspires Kumiko to want to improve and focus and Kumiko works as a pillar for Reina since she's one of the few who understands her and her goals and who will support her in reaching those. I'm not gonna go into that whole romantic crap that one couldn't do without the other since they definitely could, but they definitely push each other quite well as long as they're together.
I always thought Kumiko was secretly the 'alpha' in their relationship since she seems to have more power over Reina than Reina does over her. Like when she asked Reina to come over the phone and she apparently immediately came.

>>141012821
Reina is lonelier than she lets on, maybe even a little needy and desperate to be friends with Kumiko. You're right it adds a lot to their relationship, seeing how Kumiko is so magically enchanted with Reina, and then realizing that Reina is even happier to have her one special friend. It's just really sweet

Kumiko is the only person who dared oppose her, that's why Reina likes her so much I guess. I like their relationship, even if they aren't always really honest with each other.
>>141017014
Yeah. Ironically I recently (as in, just last night) rewatched episode 8, which lead me to watch episodes 10 and 11, and you really get a sense of Reina's contradictions. The way she explains that she doesn't want to be like everyone else, but is hopes that Kumiko would understand her. Also, the ways after being outed as knowing Taki she asks Kumiko if she thinks she's in the wrong and how she tacitly admits to Kumiko that she's obviously afraid of being seen as the bad guy if she won the second audition. These are both starkly different from the pillar of self-confidence she seems like most of the time.
Not to say that they're bad, or hurt her character anyway. They're just delicious incongruences that flesh out her character and make you realize she's more than what she appears to be.

Oh that reminds me how good that season was when we had those great Hibike and Kekkai threads with the open war between the two factions. I actually found it very entertaining as I enjoyed both series. It was a good time on /a/. Too bad Hibike novel readers kept posting spoilers, as usual.
>>141019624
Hibike was one of those things where I don't care much about story spoilers because seeing the really well written characters and their interplay were what made it so interesting. Knowing what eventually happens doesn't tell you much because the good stuff is all in the nuance.

>>141017504
It's also because of Kumiko's views and her cynicism, which are very similar to Reina's.
Compare Kumiko to Midori. They are both quite knowledgable about the whole bands stuff, but they approach it with a very different mindset. Midori is nothing but positive most of the time. She's not stupid so she realizes the band isn't that good initially and she gets slightly disappointed, but she instantly compensates with her optimism and decides to be their savior since she loves music.
Kumiko isn't even disappointed in the first place. The band is 'as good as she expected', which is horrible. They suck and she initially doesn't even intend to join them.
Midori is the type to pay little attention to other people being bad. She'd never blame them or call them out on it. She takes the band very seriously, but she doesn't want to sacrifice other people's happiness for it. This allows her to keep her happy attitude as she rarely steps on anyone's toes, but it also means she has little experience and trouble dealing with drama. For example she was actually for Reina giving up the solo simply because she didn't want people to be upset. Another downside is when she considers herself to be the problem, like when she blames herself because Hazuki got rejected. She doesn't want people to be unhappy and it's even more problematic for her when she thinks she's the cause.
Reina gets angry when people push their problems onto her, like when she throws a fit because of Ribbon's accusations
>I can't stand her. She can hardly even play! What's her problem?
Reina doesn't resort to sugarcoating. Ribbon was acting shitty and thus Reina thinks of her as a little shit. This is very similar to Kumiko. It's not that the band is just 'not good', they suck. Reina is heavily attracted to this side of Kumiko. Both try to hide their harsh view most of the time though, Reina by avoiding social interaction and Kumiko by putting up a facade, which Reina calls her out on during the festival.
Did anyone else start practicing their instrument more after watching this anime?

Some time ago I stumbled upon thisblogwith some in depth analysis of Kumiko-Reina. It's a bit reaching in places, but still pretty well though out.

Both started practicing again and picked another one up. Although the latter may just be a case of the timing lining up.

I'm really glad she got this role after being a loli in Idolmaster. It would have been a shame if she was typecast like that forever.

Just go watch any SHAFT show if you want to self insert. KyoAni is better than that.
I love Natsuki! She's CUTE!

Hey, /a/. What qualities do you look for in choosing a best girl and worst girl?
>>141051364

Nothing in particular, but worst girls are usually tsundere

Is Kumiko this vocal in the novel as well? I can't imagine the novel being filled with Hmm's, Ha's, Uagh's, etc. but the anime gave the feeling that it's such an integral part of her character. I can't imagine how it'd feel without them.

This anime made was depressing because Reina made me realize I had no ambition or talent.

Anyone got that pic of Natsuki staring at buildings? You know the one

first I see who looks like a best girl, then watch more to confirm in they act like a best girl. Sometimes I get surprised by girls who didn't look best at first, but caught my attention by acting like best girls

It really speaks to how good the lighting was in this show that this looks almost real. You can barely tell where the photo ends and the drawn window frame begins.
