I like Red Ribbons before it was cool.

red ribbons is qt and looking at her makes me happy

>episode is about how Mamiko's college life is horrible
>today is thanksgiving extended family dinner
anyone else just going to stay inside today
>>150125910
what did she do to become uncool?
Didn't she actually say that she'll take care of Jack? That's the name she gave to Kumiko's euphonium.
Based Shuuichi doesn't have much screentime but all was needed was one conversation with Mamiko to help fix things.
Except for red ribbons from percussion, shuuichi's girlfriend with drills and that saxophone girl that uses lipstick I really can't identify background characters. You guys are really hardcore.
Will you buy her JAV?
>>150126016
She became mainstream.
>>150125823
Oboe became a background character again so I guess her.I liked her forced drama arc because it was still cute and she is cute.
>>150126018
she did, Crunchyroll translators probably don't even watch the show so they don't know about Jack-kun

Why didn't she just continue playing trombone in college if she like it so much?
>>150126028
Yes, also I'll buy another one for Shu.
FACT: Kumiko will never look at Shoe the way she looks at Reina.
>>150125915

because Mamiko cant make any decisions for herself which is the source of her problems. She could've done anything she wanted but she never had the determination. So she listened to what her parents told her to do because she didnt want to be responsible for the things she did. Now that she fucked up she can blame her parents for her own mistakes.
tl;dr Mamiko blows
>>150126174
Indeed.
>>150126174
As a dear friend and surrogate Mamiko? I agree. Shoe gets the fuck my brains out eyes.
>>150126123

You're forgetting the wide eyed look she gave to him just before the S1 finale

>The best-known form of imprinting is filial imprinting, in which a young animal acquires several of its behavioral characteristics from its parent. It is most obvious in nidifugous birds, which imprint on their parents and then follow them around.[1] It was first reported in domestic chickens, by the 19th-century amateur biologist Douglas Spalding. It was rediscovered by the early ethologist Oskar Heinroth, and studied extensively and popularized by his disciple Konrad Lorenz working with greylag geese

Everyone is annoyed by Shoe, she's the one who is least annoyed.
>>150126307
>>150126490
You and her are actually cowards who can't make a decision and would rather go with the flow. I know because I am doing the same.

I think Seal-chan might still be salvageable by our guy.

Seems like a pretty neutral expression. It looks like she's choosing to play with him in the free time they have in that scene so she probably wants to work with him and see him get better.

how about this one? I mean when you think about it Shuuichi literally did get asked out by a girl
>>150127130

>>150127049
He is indeed tall. And popular to the yurifags as they love to hate him.
>>150126996

>>150127223
She wanted to play with his trombone.

Why are her bandages increasing in number?
>>150127265
cause she gangster as fuck
>>150127250
She wants him to fuck her.
>>150127161
Someone should tell them you can just place your hand on forehead. Like she actually ends up doing. There is no need to bang the foreheads together beforehand.
>Reina in Kumiko's room
>and on Kumiko's bed
This is a win for yurifriends.
Because he's the hero the Oumae siblings deserve, but not the one they need right now, so Kumiko will geh him. Because he can take it, because he's not a hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector, a spineless faggot.
>>150127338
>Reina in Kumiko's room
>Shoe on Mamiko's bed
Literally can't be argued against.
>>150127373
And where is Mamiko?
>>150127362
She's just afraid of accepting her feelings for him.
Probably.
So she brushes him off.
>>150127399Right on top of shoe

5 min. into eupho and chill and she gives you this look. wyd?
Midori is especially attentive
If you're in love or hiding something then keep away from her
>>150127632
And Hazuki is supposedly insightful and can see through Kumiko's facade. But people still bash her for apparently forcing Shoe on Kumiko during the train-talk scene in S1.
>>150127044
Sasuga Kyoani. Some twenty different facial expressions in footage shorter than 2 seconds.
Is Ribbons not gonna be relevant anymore?
Where is she going to hide once Shu is done with Mamiko.
>>150127721
Only when she bakes a Pisa Cake for Natsuki after she replaces Asuka in the Nationals.
>>150127756
Why would she hide, she can just exit the building.
Anon what the fuck?
>>150127787
Maybe he'll find out that she was eavesdropping.
>>150127800
Eavesdroping to what, exactly. Older sister telling a friend to go see her younger sister?
>>150126564
Don't worry m8, we all know Reina is going to wingman him to Kumiko since she witnessed how cool of a guy he is.
He was the one who got her to not lose her nerves at the 1st competition.
>>150127831
>Reina is going to wingman
Yeah like the time when Reina gave tickets to Shu during episode 6 right?
>>150126058
do you want a hug anon?
Anyone know what's Reina's phone model is?

>>150128109
No one in the show has a flip phone mate
>>150127068
What geim ?
Sorry my imagesearchfu is low right now
>>150128128
I guess the entire band is special then
>>150128080
Who's she texting with? It's not like she has any other friend beside kumiko.
>>150128244
She's browsing her creep shots of kumiko.
>>150128244
Browsing 4chan and posting rare Kumikos most likely.
>>150128244
stalking Taki's social pages
Kumiko is using Reina as a surrogate for Mamiko.
What do you say about this?
>>150128475
Since I read it, I can't believe I missed it.
>>150128475
Since she knew that kumiko is only using her in here >>150127756, will reina ditch her?
But if Reina openly likes Taki why are we assuming her to get all gay with Kumiko?

What's the story behind her hair tie /a/?
>>150128080
Finally something to add to what some anon did a while back.
Did she even make the starting roster for the band?
Feel like I haven't seen her in ages.
>>150129310
I think she showed up in the OVA in the B team.
>>150129175
>kyocera
I love Kyoto united
>>150129155
She used to wear that hair tie sparingly.
It was given to her by a childhood friend from middle school. They liked each other but were both too scared at the time to confess. She only found out too late when a mutual friend from middle school mentioned it to her in passing.
Too late, because as she was on her way to confess her crush died to a freak truck accident as they were on their way home. Distraught at the unfortunate incident, she started wearing the seal hair tie everyday to honor her friend's memory.
>>150129175
Would look incomplete though without knowing her phone model. Also holy fuck, all those are expensive-ass phones.

Damn. Artist draws a cute Hazuki, though.
>>150131728
Kumiko still is indifferent and annoyed by him though.
>>150131788
Of course, she didn't know what shoe did.
Wait till Reina tells her about that as she becomes Shoe's wingman
>>150131412
That makes it real.

>>150132337
Translated first
Shuuichi getting tired of Kumiko's shit.
>>150132284
She still spearheaded the unnecessary schism between freshmen and seniors. Could've just kept practicing like Oboe, Kaori etc. and wait for the slackers to graduate (which she already regretted). Also she should really have known Mizore better and talk with her, a big oversight.
She's still a good person and Oboe likes her so she's alright in my books.

>>150135220
That line alone was enough to make him no longer /ourguy/. This show needs MORE Kumiko noises, not less.
>>150132562
Waiting for them to graduate only worked because Taki happened to show up the next year. Without that unpredictable stroke of sheer luck, the remaining members have been perfectly content staying in that rut, as the start of the first season showed.
I am going to drink too much alcohol and watch cute girls play instruments for the first time.
/blog
That feeling.
clone? teleportation?
>>150135403
Of course they wouldn't have made this far, but at least they would've had a positive environment to actually prastice and play music. The graduated seniors were toxic slackers, current seniors are competent people. Are you telling me sections headed by people like Kaori, Haruka or Asuka would suddenly gossip and play cards without Taki?
>>150135976
Natsuki is in the bass section with Asuka and her motivation was totally killed until the progress they made under Taki brought it back. This isn't a hypothetical; we can see how the band minus those toxic third years would behave because that's where they were at the start of the show, and the answer is "still shit".
>>150126346
was this a mistranslation? how long was she actually absent for?
>>150136325
It just took a little while to get past the prior ennui.
It's not like they're skilled teachers.
wtf i love shoe now
>>150136325
Like >>150137136 said you can hardly predict how the entire school year would have played out based on the first days. Also I would imagine Nozomi staying with the band would've helped Natsuki to not totally lose interest.
>>150137280
Sure thingReina.
>>150137369
Nozomi quit last year, it would be irrelevant to current band.
Also the section leaders might even be able to motivate the other players, but they would never be able to play as a band without Taki.
>>150134768
It sounded so authentic. I wonder if she really did have a cold during recording.

I expect Reina to tell Kumiko that Shoe helped them out and that she should stop being a cunt to him.
>>150137462
Well I was just speculating how things might have turned out based on my original message >>150132562 where Nozomi stays.
Besides Kitauji was known to be shit so anyone going there and joining the band shouldn't expect to win golds and go to the nationals (expect Nozomi and Mizore and all that promise shit I guess which doesnt make sense).
It's not that difficult to understand that there are other levels of playing/practicing than Taki-sensei's nationals or bust and zero fucks given. People didn't quit because they weren't going to the nationals.
>>150137675
>best eupho
>only three of them are euphos
>its thanksgiving
I wish this day would be over already
>>150137873
Actually, Nozomi and band members who quit (that came from the same school as her) knew that Kitauji was weak school but they thought that with their skill and hardworking, they can change the band situation and pull off "the underdog team win the competition" story (like in those sport anime/manga)

Ehh? But background characters are the best part of hibike.
Here:
-fang-chan - blond twin braids - clarinet - disrespects taki's blankets
-tall beauty with an actual nose (gaijin or something?) and a side braid - piccolo
-grumpy-chan (black hair with hairband), forehead with ribbon and short brown hair with hairclips - horn alpha bitches clique, they usually talk shit about taki
-snail - horn bitches minion
-short hair and glasses 3rd year and short hair and glasses 1st year - percussion - one of them is a fujo that ships knuckles-senpai with noguchi
-brown haired reina - also percussion - doesn't ship knuckles and noguchi
-short hair tomboy - clarinet
-braid + drills + heart hairclips - flute - another one of the bitches, talked shit about reina
-mega-pigtails - trumpet - has to put up with kaori's martyr complex
-brown haired ponytail 2nd year - percussion - she celebrated their victory the most, bless her
-double heart hairclips - ribbon's minion - trumpet
-short drills that look like croissants - flute leader I believe - inferior to drills trombone
-peace-chan - loli-like girl with the hair bobbles -a trumpet I think - slut
-discount asuka - clarinet - camera girl - expossed peace-chan for the slut she is
-slacker-chan - her friend - retard that carries a hand-puppet
-long ponytail - another clarinet - nothing special
-seal-chan - loli-like girl with the seal hairclip - trombone? - super short
-glasses and hair-bun - sax
-odango midget -sax
-black twintails - trombone - drill's friend and shuu1's senpai - looks down on him
-side-bang and side bun - sax - aoi's kouhai and mini-taki's senpai - she's quite pretty actually
-chieri-chan (bangs) and her opaque glasses senpai - clarinet - either fujos or otakus
-fatass failure - sax
-mini-taki - sax
-mini-gotou - clarinet - massive beta
-guy that looks like a harem MC - trumpet - pretty chill guy
-noguchi - trombone - ikemen
-knuckles-senpai - best
That's it, the remaining ones are too bland.
>>150142647
>Fang chan actually made the cut for the auditions

Nothing happened. We got a little background of the relationship between Mamiko and Kumiko, but that's it. The whole episode was filler.
The season feels unfocused - there's no overarching plot to balance out all the drama that's going on. In the first season you had them trying to make the nationals and Kumiko's nascent romantic life, but now there doesn't seem to be any story other than the interpersonal drama of different characters who are completely forgotten once their episode(s) end.
It feels like something's missing. Like a car with only three wheels.
Shuichi giving Kumiko a late birthday gift is symbolism that its never too late to pursue sonething/someone you want.
>>150149576
Unfocused? The episode literally hams the parallelism between Asuka, Mamiko and Aoi regarding their decisions for quiting. All these subplots tie up thematically later on.
"You're a disgusting pig, Anon."
>>150149699
I get that, but it still feels disjointed to me. Maybe it's because I'm watching it as it gets released - I usually go through an entire season at once so everything flows together.
>>150148955
Have a happy loli Aoi. Maybe she just needs someone who loves her and accepts her.
>>150150608
Was that the last time she was happy?

these threads have been dead for some weeks now and it's only through people desperately bumping these threads with /c/ tier posts once the thread hits page 9 that they've managed to stay alive
and this show deserves it really. it's a completely lackluster season compared to the first. no one has any reason to care about any of the drama this season.

>>150151369
if kumiko's monologues didn't mention making nationals every episode then you'd have no idea that the ensemble was working toward nationals with the way that the focus has been almost entirely on petty character drama instead of ensemble training sequences.
https://exhentai.org/g/999590/382a6a81bb/
>>150151455
There's not much they can do with training scenes. They practice the same pieces for months, would you like it better if the show was nothing but a camera on a tripod just recording their practice sessions?
>>150151699
it would have been better than the god awful nozomi drama
What does HIBIKE EUPHONIUM mean to you, anon?
>>150151774
The Nozomi drama would've been better if it was focused on Yuuko and Natsuki instead. Two characters that keep being relevant in some way or another, unlike Nozomi/Mizore that went back to being less than background characters.
>Kumiko's birthday happened offscreen
For what purpose?
>>150152111
Because they really had to jam two novels into one series, so a lot had to be compromised.
I really don't like the way they had to tell this series, but I can see the conundrum even if they could afford to go two cours.
It seems like both arcs could've been told right over something like 16 or 18 episodes, not a full two cours. Anything more would've been dragging on.
I really wish they'd had more time though.
>>150152111
>>150153060
It happens of screen in the novel too. It only happens in the Volume 4 side stories. Stop making shit up.
>rolling (sparring) partner comes to my place
>sees pic related
>asks me if Midori does BJJ
>>150153253
It doesn't have to happen in the novels. It's part of adapting the work, especially if you're given a pile of shit to work with (not that I'd know about the quality of the novels).
I don't think you can deny that a lot of this series has been weaker, even if what's shit has been a direct adaptation.
Half of the first arc is told exclusively in sepia flashbacks, and in the last episode, the whole "a month has passed" time skip is weak. That's something that definitely couldn't been addressed better given more episodes.
>>150153379
Nice made up blog faggot
>>150153403
>>150153400
Crunchyroll translated it wrong, only a week had passed.
>>150153489
That makes more sense. It doesn't seem like a cop-out that way. That said, Istill feel like the second series could've used another couple of episodes for a bit more breathing room. I kind of want to see what Memedori and whozuki are up to, even if they're side characters in the novels. You can't give them that much time in the first series and just throw them out. They just turn up to do the ED in a lot of episodes.
At least Midori gets to teach Kumiko about Italian white flowers and check her temperature. Hazuki gets nothing.
I noticed the girl on the right and my dick instantly reacted so I guess her.
>>150154037

>>150151778

>>150154405
I wouldn't say it's strictly an ensemble. It definitely doesn't stick to one little group, but there are too many players to make it a proper ensemble.
I really liked the way they did the first series. I think the problem with second arc was that they didn't want to stick to Kumiko's point of view and tell a limited story from a perspective with limited knowledge. That might've been interesting.
Instead, it was just a big flashback. At least this arc can be told by Kumiko, so I've more confidence in it.

>>150157942
The middle school scene was the only flashback and it was the prologue. It quickly switches to Kumiko after wards. The whole back storyistold to her by the 4 second years
>>150158319
Hm. Did you read the novel? Did you like the way the story was told in the novel?

Theres more to the are competitions good or bad subplot which the anime glosses over. It ties to the sempai subplot quite a bit. Alsi we dont really know if KitaUji won by hard work or because one of the big 3 schools who always get the spot in kansai changed adviser so the judges may have marked them down.
>>150158537
>>150126996

Can you go over that again? I'm not quite sure what you've said.
>we dont really know if KitaUji won by hard work or because one of the big 3 schools who always get the spot in kansai changed adviser so the judges may have marked them down.I felt like it was okay to not spell this out because I felt like the ending addresses this.
>>150158848
Basically same as anime but with the big three looming over the bands head is more prevalent than the anime. It ties in with what Yuuko says to Mizore about feeling anything about winning. You het to see how the schism last year affects Gotoh and how everyone seems to abide by Asukas decisions even Nozomi. Another reason Nozomi didnt tell Mizore she quit because Mizore was part of A team for being the sole oboe while Nozomi was part of B Team in the prevoous team. Also as revealed in Novel 3 Asuka doesnt want their sole and talented oboe player to lose her shit because it would prevent her from seeing her dad who is judge in the nationals.
>>150156817
>Shoe will never experience this
Feels good man.
>>150159049
Everything seems much more interconnected when you put it like that. I didn't get that impression from the anime, and it seems like a more natural transition into Asuka's arc.
Is the next episode just about Asuka or perhaps only half of it then we go back to Mamiko? I want to get to Taki-sensei already.
>>150159534

>>150164739
Nah I just want a better adaptation of the novel where its truly 1st person Kumiko. That band is faceless. Navy Blue uniforms. Cool Shuichi. Less fluff
>>150164614
Aoi is the only worth while childhood friend in the show.
I've been thinking about cryptocurrency lately. And the fact that I don't understand any of it. But I'm really curious though.
Is it possible to monetize rare pics of background Hibike waifus as a form of cryptocurrency? Something like Hibikoins. Fanarts are great but if should be given less value as they can be made on demand and could inflate the value of Hibikoins. Screenshots from the show should be worth more as the rarity is controlled by a neutral overlord KyoAni. FYI rare Kumiko's are very abundant and has to be of high rarity to be of higher value than usual. Kumikoins are like the cents to 1 Hibikoin.
What do you guys think? I'm not autistic enough to do this alone.
>>150165255
Well cryptos are called that because they're basically big numbers that gets generated through solving puzzles, basically
Since pictures are subjective in the first place I doubt they can be monetised, especially since you need like millions of them
Would 1 Midori be worth more than 1 Aoi?
>>150165435
Rarity is handled by KyoAni. Value is decided (debated actually) by /a/utists

Based on the novels or what? It's not fucking normal to at one point act completely normal with someone and fast forward physically expressing disgust when the other person simply greets you and proceeds to do his mundane things. And nothing which would deteriorate your relationship has happened in between. It's retarded writing and not realistic at all.
>>150170964
No bait. Their intentions are pretty clear from the interviews.
>>150170993
So what's the big deal? They've always been like that, it's a big part of Kumiko's characterization and showing her shitty side to somebody she's close to is just like her and pretty realistic in general.

>>150177199
Kumiko isn't that bad
>>150177323
i've to admit that i saw this coming, still kek'd tho.
>>150177199
She should've raised them better

Kill yourself, cancer.

The only character who feels underdeveloped is Midori.
Why is Kumiko litterally repulsed with Shuichi? Her reactions on him are more than just not caring or being offended for the fact he insulted her when they were kids.
With his appearances she automatically unconciously reacts either vocally (geh) or like this with body language trying to stay away from him even if its a little.
>>150177727
she clearly loves him
>>150177727
Don't worry, they'll have hatesex in the end.
>>150177727
She can't be honest about her feelings.
>>150177780
If she were, she would act embarassed. She doesnt. Her reactions are more aking to some phobia - like suddenly seeing a spider on the wall near you or catterpillar.
KyoAni puts lot of effort to display it, so there probably is some more back story to why she acts like that.
She will learn about her feelings about him thanks to circumstances and people around her pushing for it (Reina shipping them for example), but so far she just ignorant of his existence, and when made aware reacting irritated.
>>150177727
Because she's 3DPD: the character
Literally acts like a 3D girl
>>150177727
OUTTA MY WAY SHU FUCKING SHITS
>>150177882
I am no yurifag and know they end up together, but at this moment in anime there is no "feelings". She is not aware of him or her own possible romantic inclanations despite Reina, Hazuki and even Asuka hinting her about that. She just never looked at him that way, and needs a push, which she`ll eventually get.
>>150174080
She has a smug mode and a psychotic murderer mode too.
I just hope next episode we have some shoe x kumiko development, because it looks like they totally ignored last season's brofist.
>>150177906
>she would act embarassed
She would react exactly like she does though.
>>150177974
Dumb EOP, stop trying so hard.
new thread by the way >>150177533
>>150177727
Shuichi turned her into a lesbian by imprinting on her at a young age that guys are gross
Now she unconsciously reacts to him as the prime source of disgustingness, don't blame Kumiko it's Shuichi's own fault
>>150178174
This actually make sense, if we assume him insulting her had much stronger impact than though before. However she doesnt act like that with other guys, the one in Bass section for example/
>>150178074
Kyou is goddess, don't compare her to this meddling bitch.
>>150178122
Oh irony.
>>150178200
Shuichi is the prime source and actively tries to get closer to her, it's like when you put two of the same ends of a magnet closer and closer, the repulsion gets stronger
>>150178227
As I said, just stop
fucking illiterate pig
