Is it October yet? I can't wait for season 2

Wasn't that the movie?
>>141475600
I want to kiss Kumiko on the cheek.
Is the movie out already?
>>141477161
She doesn't want that
>>141475673
No, the movie is just a recap of season 1. Season 2 confirmation was just leaked a couple weeks ago.

Hazuki is their ADD daughter?
I have to admit, I went in for reina, but stayed for kumiko.
reina is boring shit.
I also can't wait for the KumikoxReina pair to be confirmed canon so we can put all shitposts to rest.
>>141478920
Rude.
>>141479175
Can I bully Reina?
I mean is that actually theoretically possible?
>>141479225
she has autism, so yes. pls bully her
>>141479225
Just tell her that she's not special and nobody cares about how good she is at an instrument that sounds like a fart.

Fuck the trumpet.

>>141475600
I can't wait for Kumiko's memefaces.
>>141478920
I like Reina, but Kumiko is so great it's not even close. Her humor, the way she handles things and confronts others, her cynical views, so more or less her personality in general are what made Hibike one of my favorite shows. It's so enjoyable seeing Kumiko interact with others and how she deals with the problems she encounters along the way.
And it seems like the other characters of the show appreciate her a lot as well.
She's one of the few people Asuka actually respects and finds interesting.
She is one of the reasons Natsuki decided to stop slacking.
She is probably the only person Reina is interested in.
Midori was really fond of her development and how she wanted to handle Hazuki being slightly down because of the rejection.
She was the one who had enough empathy to recognize Hazuki's struggles with failure and initiated the play to make her find joy in playing music again.
She was one of the few who actually got involved in the Aoi drama.
Even Ribbon apparently gave a shit about what she thought about the match between Kaori and Reina and Kumiko spoke her brutally honest opinion declaring that Reina was better which probably left a big impression.
Also there was the really nice discussion between her and Sensei and they were actually talking about personal stuff like his father and music and he told her that he did not forget what she said about improving. If I had to guess she's probably one of the more memorable band members to him.
I realize that many of these things only happen because she's a protagonist and we see most things through her perspective and a lot of these things are just situational, but it feels like any time Kumiko interacted with another character she leaves a pretty great impression and even if they don't instantly become best friends, they at least gain respect for her, like Asuka or possibly Ribbon. It's like she's secretly one of the most popular people in the band but somehow manages to stay low-key.

>>141480806
As a whole only 2 times, though I rewatch some episodes here and there.
>>141480956
How many times has the MC been best girl in your anime watching experience? I think it's pretty rare tbqh
>>141475600

>>141481731
>>141481756
It's not my fault that Yamada is an immature faggot with shit taste who cannot appreciate true love between two young girls and want to write it out as "adolescence", like the hack she is.
>>141481888
You have a containment board for your fetish.
Go there.
>>141481843
She's a big girl
>>141481907
It has nothing to do with my fetishes. I just want mature and intelligent writing that is coherent with the themes provided by the show itself from S2.
But apparently, that retard Yamada has other plans. It makes me wonder how she even managed to depict the beauty of Kumiko and Reina's relationship in S1 so well, considering her intentions.
>>141481938
For youphonium.
>>141481907

It is pretty fucking rare, though a female MC being best girl is not a requirement for a show to be good. It also always depends on what the show aims for and how it presents itself.
What's weird about Hibike is that it's from Kumiko's perspective for the most part, yet she still manages to be best girl. There are only a couple scenes that happen without her being present, like the Kaori and president meeting. It's not uncommon that whenever there is a protagonist like Kumiko they end up being boring since they just serve as the viewer's window to the show in order to introduce them to everything that's going on including the actually interesting characters.
However Kumiko is filled to the brim with personality, one that is very charming on top, which is also thanks to the great voice acting. She can act a little moody like when she answes her mom's question about her day saying that school was so-so and her voice actress manages to make something so small and trivial actually charming in a very natural way.
She is, depending on how you see it, flawed, but never to the point where she becomes unlikeable.
Even if you dislike Shuichi, Kumiko is undoubtedly resentful since she still kept her grudge against him for what he said and won't give him an actual chance to make up for it. Though she actually explains to him why she is holding a grudge in a reasonable way and if not then already we will later realize that she does not actually hate him, even if she still resents him for what he said.
There are her intial insecurities with her not knowing how to confront Reina, but she eventually actually musters up the courage to do so, even if she's being very awkward at first. There is that scene when she apologizes about bad mouthing Taki and as viewer we realize that it was a very impulsive decision on her part because she just couldn't let Reina go without letting her know what she actually thinks and we appreciate her courage for being so genuine.

I went to the show expecting jazz like in the PVs.
Instead it was all nerd music.

I expected a Sakamichi no Apollon but without all the gay.
I was disappointed with both.
>>141483223
At least it was the good kind of gay.
>>141483129
It was surprising how useless Midori was towards the middle and end of the show. She and that girl that lost were both completely forgotten in the second half of the season.

I wonder if they're as big assholes as trumpet boys.
>>141487826
None of the ones I knew were
>>141487826
Is it considered proper form to press the valves with the top of your fingers? I've seen trumpet players that go lower and use the joint area, it seems more comfortable and natural. I wonder why this wasn't animated, they must have noticed it when observing the band/their reference materials.
>>141487871I can hear it.
>>141483223
I shat myself when I saw that PV
Got me so pumped, the only disappointment was the lack of jazz in the show, made up for easily with everything else.
>>141487988
I've personally seen it done both ways. I think it depends on how you hold your wrist/palms in relation to the valves. I think most trumpet players I've seen have also been told to not hook their pinky into the pinky rest, at least in concert band, yet here we are. Maybe it has to do with tiny Japanese girl hands.
>>141488200
>>141487988
Fingertips is proper form. It gives you far more speed and control than if you try to use your joints to press on the valves.
Which band boy would you choose?

That's probably because you were a bandbro and not a /u/shitter that hopped on the bandwagon afterwards.I like my /u/, too (where the fuck are my doujins?), but goddamn, c/u/nts and the /u/shitter vs hetshitter shitposting were obnoxious.
>>141492035

It's literally all the threads were
The only "discussion" would be the first few points before the whole thing would erupt in flames the first time someone brought up the

>>141492010
Literally nothing wrong with this
>>141492035
/u/ was on this show pretty early, bro. And I remember wars between /u/ and anti/u/ as early as episode 4.
Anybody got a gif of Sapphire skanking in the ED? I've been meaning to make one, but if it exists I'd be appreciative.
>>141492356
>>141492094
To be fair, that entire segment of the episode was /u/-baiting as helland it was actually pretty fucking romantic, too. I swooned about as hard as Kumiko did.
The problem isn't that /u/ had a larger presence in the threads; the problem was that /u/ and shipwars overwhelmed the threads. Shipping is fine; shipwars are cancer.

The only time I've been to a signing was a Star Wars convention like 5 years ago, and they sold official, fancy art for the actors to sign.
Anyone with Anime Con signing experience know if this happens? I don't want to have to bring some or buy some fan art from an artists stand.
>>141493320
The Japanese guests will ONLY sign official items. Fan art is turned away in the line before the person can even reach the guests. Some companies, like PonyCanyon, may even do special events where only items purchased directly from their booth during the convention can be signed (and gets you a ~2-5 minute free talk with the special guest).
>>141493451
Sounds good, I can pick up some nice official art and get a signature. Thanks anon, have another rare reina.
>>141493580
>official art
If you're going to buy at the booth, they'll only have $30 keychains and $70 BD/DVDs. Kakugo shiro yo--
>>141493733
That sucks, I'd prefer something to frame but a BD would be nice I guess.

In Drum corps you do 12 hour days, every day. Get rekt.

>>141494924
everything about her is pretty damn cute
>>141492094
>>141492501
People forget that the certain spoilers in the novel were still unclear until the week before episode seven/eight. While there was a general idea that Kumiko and Shuicihi liked each other, it was unclear how their relationship worked in the novel as no pages were scanned yet. Another problem was that Reina's confession that she liked Taki-sensei was chronologically vague. It was unclear whether or not it took place before the festival or after.
Episode eight was just a perfect nexus of shitposting. The vague spoilers coupled with the "confession of love" (to which the Nips didn't even understand fully) and lip touching lead to the perfect set-up for that shitfest. There were at least three 1000+ post threads in the first two days. There was no was the threads would have recovered from that, especially with shitposters now trying to recapture those first few threads.
Although, episode eleven really paved the way for the argument to last as long as it did.

It was never leaked holy shit. The website announced S2 like a few months after S1 ended. Around the same time KnK was announced. The only "leak" that happened was the red cross accidentally montioning it wad airing in fall, but it had s2 had been announced months before.
>>141501353
The date it was being aired was the leak I was talking about.
>>141500730

>>141501005
I'm not someone who can talk about it, but many of the anime only shows the basics movement of the entire hand without detail the fingers moves, something really important in Koe no Katachi for the sign language
