>響け！第三回終了。こんなにド直球な吹奏楽アニメになるとは（笑）まさかの《海兵隊》にもびっくり。たぶん無関係者には皆目分からないかもしれないが経験者にはドンピシャで納得できる台詞や演出がテンポよく決まる。これは凄いアニメだ。夜遅くの放送ってのが玉に瑕（笑）

Official Brass magazine praizing Euphonium saying its great and realistic.

>>124371167
An obvious paid review.

>>124371206
The only one paying is Yamaha.

Next should be KyoAni anime about photography, sponsored by Nikon.

>>124371261
>>124371261
Their town (Uji) should pay them for tourism promoution, just like the local preffectures do with PA Works.

KyoAni studio is like the only (aside from temples) local attraction there - now the town is even shown in anime, and more beutifully than it is in reality. Expect tourists to "Euphonium spots" same way as K-On locales are visited.

>>124370733
Why do cosplayers always wear oversized clothes when cosplaying characters in uniform? Looks like she's wearing a potato sack, not a cute uniform.

>>124371318
But that sort of thing happens with nearly every Kyoani show.

Azunyan will save it

>>124372225
Yeah, even for Tamako
Hyouka has many pilgrimage blog posts

Soulless atmosphere, as could be expected of KyoAni when they have to focus on predominantly girls these days.
It really shows how high in the clouds they are with their fujo serving women in charge.

No wonder it's not selling. They should just give up and be more honest with themselves by turning into an exclusively women pandering studio, since male otaku was already betrayed and lost.

>>124370733
Absolutely beautiful. Truly proving that Hazuki a best.

>>124370715
So could it do worse than even Nichijou? I don't there has ever been a KyoAni show that reached rank 1,000 on Stalker.

>>124372373
I told you KyoAni can't sell with girl cast anymore.
Yes, even Nichijou did better.

What's the deal with circular breathing? That shit is a gimmick, it's not something anybody actually has to learn, and it's definitely not something you waste time on in valuable, limited practice time.

ya I realised the other thread was dead, so I tried to find another. But legit, this is pathetic.

>>124372056
Because that's how Japanese school uniforms actually look in real life. They're meant to be conservative, not form fitting. In fact, the only way the skirt would be as short as it is even there is if the girl intentionally rolled it up.

wait, ponytail slut and Kumiko are two seperate people?

Welp, no more Amagi Brilliant Park then.

>>124373551
no, ponytail slut is a new person. Kumiko wore her hair in a ponytail in ep 1. Their eyes are different.

lol @ kyoani for making this confusing, good job character designer

>>124373605
And thank god, though that has more of a shounen demographic and also it has a decent number of women loving it since Kanie is still the protag and a whale magnet.

Seriously though, KyoAni shouldn't even try to make a seinen orientated series, if nothing else then because they suck at it.

>>124373754
what demographic is Hibike aimed towards?

If Gotou were a girl what instrument would he play?
A Fallopian Tuba.

If Kumiko were a princess what instrument would she play?
A Euphemium.

If OP were part of the band what instrument would he play?
A Fagott.

If Haruka played with a vibrator what would it be called?
A Sex-Off-On.

What does Shuuichi get if he thinks about Kumiko too much?
A Tromboner.

>>124373767
Seinen.
And it shows how they didn't fucking care, the technical aspect of the show is top tier, but everything is rigid, soulless and lack any sort of love.

About the sales...an old post comes to mind that still stands true.

"As expected. With Free, they betrayed their otaku fans.

Not because they went with full-on fanservice on silver plate for females; but because they never

gave, or will give the same amount of fan-service to otaku.

And they will respond in kind. See how KnK is doing now."

Just replace KnK with Hibike, and add to the fact that even the shounen and female fans have no place here.

>>124373767
I think it's aiming for a more "mainstream" demographic similar to K-On! and Tamako.

>>124373822
Die in a fire, LRD

>>124373514
I thought the point of cosplay was to imitate anime, not real life. The uniforms look form fitting in the anime, why can't cosplayers do that? I wouldn't mind even a longer skirt, it just would look way better if the outfit was less baggy. Japs are too short to be wearing baggy clothes.

Titan best background girl.

>>124373754
Fuck you, Amagi was enjoyable.

>>124373850
LRD? Really?

How do into trumpet music? The scene with Reina playing awakened something latent in me

>>124373869
The nameless mascots got more lines than the fairies or the queen.

>>124372225
Difference is its not just any town, its the town where KyoAni itself is located.

Wonder if they include studio or KyoAni shop cameo in Euphonium.

This show is really boring so far. Only reason worth watching has been best girl.

The mascots though, they were infantile and annoying, but I guess people who loved FMP will love that kind of humor.

She has had some good moments, but she's getting a bit too carried away with her random funny personality, and she's tall as fuck so out of my radar as a good looking girl.

pls anon. You can't tell me that sailor uniforms have buttons made of fabric and expect me to believe you.

>>124373992

It only stands out because the rest of the show plays out like it takes place in a fucking funeral home.

Where is all the fun that everyone's having in the OP?

>>124373767
It's aimed towards people with taste.

The fun disappeared when KyoAni didn't care about their characters.
Being able to animate in a breathtaking manner alone won't be enough this time.

>>124374015
I'm expecting they're setting it up that the four main girls will start some kind of revolution within the club and get the ones that shouldn't really be there in the first place to find their enthusiasm.

>>124373968
Oh shit we got a snooty one over here! How's the sky looking today?

>>124374067
Did I hit a nerve or something anon?
That really wasn't my intention.

Finally a good kyoani show after hyouka.

>>124374015
There'll probably be some once this first drama arc gets resolved and Reina joins the main party. Kumiko's too busy obsessing over what people think of her for now.

>>124373968
I didn't like Moffle because they attempted to give him a serious side which didn't really work, but the Tiramie and Macaron were fun in a fairly straightforwardly dumb way.

>>124374106
Hyouka sucked compared to how good this is looking. This is the first good KyoAni show since Disappearance.

They're skimming the top with this shit, too. There's way too much CG. The bits that are there are really nice, but it's still jarring to switch back and forth.

>>124374065

That's what it looks like, but it'll probably be the fourth episode with them making people take it seriously, then MAYBE from 5 on there will be some growing, but unless this shit is 30 episodes, they don't really have a reason to drag it out this much. The first episode had everything set perfectly, and they're just treading water while cashing Yamaha's checks.

>>124374119
How could there be ANY fun when even the fucking scenery is dark, like the inside of classrooms and whatnot.
This isn't comfy and warm. This isn't fun. It's not selling for a good reason.

>>124374065
Prepare to be as disappointed as Kousaka was when she didn't make it to nationals.

>>124374106

It's like people can't enjoy a show unless it has 50k pre orders.

>>124373952
she's the only blemish of an otherwise very promising show

>>124374139
So you're telling me that it's not selling because it's actually being serious instead of more moeshit? Sasuga, Japan. And of course the scenery is dark. The tone of the show is currently rather muted, because DRAMA. It wouldn't make any fucking sense if we had all this drama and everything looked brighter and more cheerful than the sun.

>>124374150
>unless it has 50k pre orders
Or is at least slightly good.
But I know Asuka caters to your self that wants to have sex with his mother.

remember when people allege soundUFO is K-On 2.0 CGDCT moeshit nothing happened?

>>124374192
>moeshit
God, it's painful to even read further.
But no, it doesn't sell because it's fucking soulless. That's it. No colors, no vivid scenery, just rigid and "professional" sterile animation.
And really, there ain't many "moe otaku" left that cares about their stuff either ways, so nobody cares how pretty they draw the girls. You know what could save the sales? A handsome boyband.

Yeah, that must be why all the promotional images, OP, and character designs were so serious and muted, too.

>>124374238
This show has pretty bouncy and fluid animation compared to non-KyoAni shows. Within KyoAni productions, maybe this isn't as lovingly animated as their absolute best, but it's still pretty good.

And as for vivid scenery, did you not see episode 1 and the ridiculous sakura? Or the overloaded glow in the flashback performances?

>>124374238
>no colors or vivid scenery
You blind mate?

>>124370715
retarded melodrama

>>124374138
>There's way too much CG
there is? Most of the CG has been fairly unnoticeable.

Why do I get the feeling they are actually making this anime to be watch as full 12-13 episode in one sitting instead of weekly airing.

>>124374280

holy shit this.

this has to be the most blatant bait and switch I've seen. nothing is fucking happening except for paid commercials for tuners

>>124374329
because it's dramatic with an overarching plot, not episodic

>>124374280
I can't tell if you're intentionally being dense, or if you don't understand basic story progression. Do you know what the OP, and those promotional images have in common? All four girls together. Do you know how many of the girls are currently together? 3 of them. It's not exactly a stretch to work out that the super happy fun times that you're expecting will be soon.

Or I could be entirely wrong and it's going to be full drama for the rest of the show, but time will tell.

>>124374132
idiot.

>>124374300
>>124374303
Nah, it is grey, sterile and dark.
No matter whether there's some pretty imagery here and there, but for the most part, it's just gloomy and soulless.

I just watch it for the scenarios.
Yeah, my life is this empty.

>>124374359
What the fuck do you expect, that after the first three episodes they are going to do a 180 degree backface with the whole atmosphere?
Forget it. The nips use the 3 episode rule too.
If that's how the show has been so far, it's going to stay that way. No fun, no super happy and most importantly, no love put into the show.

>>124374359

This is fucking sad. I'm glad this shit is tanking if people like this are the ones defending it. The show does not have the luxury of waiting to give people something they promised for months on end. This isn't a two cour show for fuck's sake. A third of the show will be nothing and we're supposed to hope it's worth watching the rest of the way? Bullshit.

>>124374365
well, their band is soulless actually, the surrounding color mirrors their heart.

THE HEART

>>124374365
do you think they're using appropriate lighting and colours for each scene? Which is why competitions and the romance of starting at a new school are bright and colourful, wheras the early drama and conflict is darker?

A-are people actually complaining that it's not moeshit?

>>124374280

I just started watching cause of kyoani, but is this really the promo stuff they ran before?

>>124374474

It's not gonna change no matter what, the OP has the same dark color scheme for the classroom too.

>>124374640
This. It's so obvious they are not putting their sould into it unlike their wet dream Free.

>>124374644
samefagging is only a problem when you're saying the same thing in only slightly different ways each time, pretending to be a different poster each time in order to maintain an illusion that the point you're trying to further is one that is supported by many.

>>124374654
You will never get over Free existing, will you?

>>124373605
There is still an OVA on last BDs

>>124374682
It's not about Free existing or not.
It's about KyoAni not caring about their other projects aside from showcasing their animating prowess, while they are waiting to do another fujoshi goldmine because that's dear to their heart too.

Fluffy sensei is definitely a huge dick. Not because he told the band they sucked, they did, but because he won't even do a thing for them. Seriously, fuck you fluffy sensei.

I just watched Episode 1 to 3 of this anime, so this is where all the Amagi Brilliant Parks animation went.

I think it's comfy and nice to look at. The performance under stage lighting feel for example feels really authentic and warm.

Weren't the trailers and pre-airing interviews saying that the series would be actually rather serious, and not just moeblobs doing moe things?

>>124374771
He will, but only when the entire band is on the verge of killing each other and the part leaders come begging for him to manage them, so he has an excuse to be a maximum turbodick and they can't complain.

He can't help a band that doesn't want to help themselves, anon. Even if he stepped in now, they'd still be all over the place complaining about him driving them too hard and end up rebelling. He needs the club to rise above their own complacency and laziness before he can except them to follow him properly.

It was clear from the start to me that this would be about understated ambition drama, not sure what's got you all surprised.

>>124375020
Even in the first episode threads there were people complaining about Reina being upset ruining the mood or something.

I wonder how they're going to react when she gets befriended and turns out to be pretty chill after all.

Why isn't Asuka the president?
She would be able to handle the club better than the actual president.

I like it. Not sure why some people expect SoL to automatically equate happy fun sparkle times. The drama in this show is pretty reasonable and as far as I'm concerned it's decently realistic. I find it engaging, though to each his own.

The constant Yamaha shilling is pretty funny, though.

>>124375508
But that's where you're wrong Lelouch. That's not Hazuki. Heck, Hazuki even has the Best Birthday (February 13).

My guess is that she was too enthusiastic for the slackers, so she couldn't get elected.

>>124375598

So how heavy are those yamaha checks? Surely it's not enough to cover the production of an entire series?

>>124375693
Kyoani's staff were talented enough to produce something this good with low budget.

>>124370715
This series is even more boring than Amagi Park and the first 6 episodes of Hyouka combined. Amagi was shit just like Tamako but at least Hyouka picked up the slack and gave us an ending we deserved.

I was still fuming over the KnK trainwreck and Kyoani decides to ruin my soul once again with a tasteless series with no target audience in mind.

What the fuck?

>>124375780
it's an ambition and effort themed anime about concert band competition. What don't you like?

>>124375660
Did they quit because the 3rd years at that time were lazy bastards? Or because they were the lazy ones?

>>124375821
To be fair it has good production quality but its not what I have been accustomed to with Kyoani. Chuunibyou, Haruhi and the sort where you have the right balance of tasteful comedy and SoL that I liked.

They are alienating their core fanbase with each new series.

I liked a her artshifted faces until now, but this one was a little overdone.

So just a question: has TRUE ever done any OPs or EDs before?

>>124376014
It was really bad anon.

So. What is the "KyoAni core demographic" that people are sperging out about? The K-ON crowd?

>>124375882
You should rewatch the episode because they explicitly say what type of attitude the quitters had toward music.

>>124376014
I liked Mirai, I liked KnK as a series, it had some good things to enjoy but the ending was brutally rushed and people claim that the KnK movie fixed and redeemed the series. I have not yet seen it, perhaps.

>>124375974
I had the same problem with Linkin Park, I guess I am the only one stuck in the past and living a static life in this day and age.

>>124376014
KnK was fucking trash, what are you talking about. The writing was a total disaster.

the problem isn't that it's dark. the problem is that it's cold. A lot of pale greens and blues. Hyouka was dark, but used a lot of warm tones, which made it feel a lot comfier.

Subjective in the anime medium. But if you want to critique it as animation by western standards then yes. It's mediocre.

>>124376103
Agree, Not many shows can handle endings with only 1-cour well. And in KnK's messy case it wasted so much screen time with unnecessary things.

>>124376221
Bad storytelling-wise, not animation-wise. The animation was really good but good art can't always save a series.

It's pretty enjoyable for me so far. But we're on 3rd episode already, and various similar shows (thematic shows narrating the growth of the main groups from bad to good) had told me what the writer needs to do to keep me watching.

They need to get good. And they need to do so fast. I am not waiting 12 episode for one successful concert. The music is nice, but fuck them if they're going to shove drama after drama each episodes. I need them to play, and please make it happen in (maximum) 3 episodes.

>>124376221
m8 you're the one that needs to watch more anime if you think KnK was an example of anything more than trash.

Ah, okay.
I like the song but her voice has a lot to be desired.

>>124375552
This is why asukafags is cancer, think like she is perfectt. Asuka did nothing eventough she is vice president. She can't even say anything to that slacker in bass section. How is she better at all

To those who are disappointed in Euphonium, its either you grew up or your taste went down.

>>124376248
Story wasn't that bad, just too much the crap that was served with the main plot.
It was messy in its execution,not focused had rushed ending.For kyoto animations standard it's pretty meh, but still a lot fucking better than the sea of shitty harems/generic romcoms produced since 2013/10 to present.

Asuka is like MC of Gakkou Gurashi. She is there to keep things cheerful and light so that others dont kill each others or commite suicides. Her role is vital, if she breaks - everyone will.

>>124376414
the main plot was retarded, shit was a total trainwreck. It was fairly well animated, and it wasn't a total failure at comedy (see: episode 6), but the dramatic segments were laughably poorly thought out.

What?

They care about their characters. That's why Kumiko and the few others have layered personalities beyond what you get out these types

>>124376491
If you compare Hyouka BDs to CR Hibike, of course it'll seem washed out.

I genuinely like the direction of the series.

I liked K-ON, but I'd be disappointed if this was K-ON with a new set of instruments.

Is there any chance that an anon has read the novel? I wonder how it will look republished; I'm sure it's in the works because of the anime.

But that's how you blow into a flute.

I don't get the negative reaction for this. This is quite decent so far. I like Etotama and some other anime better, but this is not bad at all.

Question: In a concert band, everyone needs to be decent, right? Or can there be standouts that make the difference?

The clothes anime characters wear are pretty much impossible to replicate exactly as they look in 2D. School uniforms made of that material can't really be form fitting (If you want to move in it at least), and if you look at the uniforms in the show they are actually pretty loose, but anime girls have exaggerated figures.

At this rate, it will flop harder than Nichijou.

What negative reaction? It's hardly noticeable above the amount of people praising it, if you ask me.

Could be anyone. Teens watch it because it's relevant to their lives, adults because it's nostalgic, guys because the girls are cute, girls because the girls are relatable and there are also some cute guys.

To each other?
Is Azusa Benio?

I'm guessing ponytail slacker is going to be the poster girl for the ones who recover their drive thanks to whatever the solution to the current drama is.

>Geh, Shuichi

She wants the B♭.

>tfw Kumiko will never touch your euph to her lips

>>124382313
her sister doesn't like how Kumiko is being shoved around so much. Kumiko only rejoined the club again because people pushed her into it and now she's playing the UFO again because Asuka pushed her into it.

>>124384219
I want to shove kumiko around

>>124382513
All I got from that is she obviously cares a lot about what her sister thinks but at the same time maybe resents the fact she cares so much

Anyways it's a pretty normal request asking Kumiko not to play her ufo at night especially since they live in apartments

>>124383790
tsundere as fuck

>>124383790
Is there anyone more smug than Shuichi?

Watched ep 1 4 times, ep 2 2 times, this one so far but will rewatch in calm during week.

Rewatching really helps appreciate it more as you spot more details, does not really get old. No other KyoAni show but Hyouka had same effect.

>>124382313
She's hardly complaining about anything. The only time she seemed a little upset was the first time she asked whether Kumiko was quitting, but otherwise, she's just stating facts. The fact that she may be doing so to for some reason get under her sister's skin notwithstanding.

Obviously that ranking was created by Aya Hirano.

Bitches can even read music yet. How you expect her to play a simple concert band in tandem with the rest of the band?

>>124385472
Shouldn't have summoned sensei then.

>>124385472
Yui didn't know a shit about music and two week later she was playing like she praticed during two year. Maybe that shit will happen but I doubt since Hibike seems more "realistic".

>>124385556
Guitar isn't hard.

>>124385556
Yui is a genius though.

>>124385556
Yui has perfect pitch.

>>124383372
Hazuki has her own mouthpiece

Talking about the tuba player and the swirling of the musical notes during th e or first playthrough.

Nationals? Pfft hahaha. Learn to read time and key signatures, k own the difference between an eigth and half note. Know what the fuck a rest is.

These guys are out of their fucking league. Sensei is right for putting them in their place. He doesn't need people who don't care wasting his time.

>>124385590
Does perfect pitch actually matter at all when you play a fretted instrument?

>>124373923
teacher threw a chair at her head because she was dragging and she didnt dodge it

>>124385681
Shouldn't have taken the job then.
