But it implied that they were gay.

>>151006482
Western anime fans are retarded. They kept saying Yaoi on Ice had actual gay romance but after this episode there's been a lot of backtracking.

>>151006332
To sell some blurays to thirsty lesbos and yuricucks

Even with the blatant yuribait in mind this scene did nothing for the plot.

>>151006482
>But it implied that they were gay.
No it didn't?

>>151006482
you are gay

>>151006542
It showcased their bond. You can't really tell how close two people are too each other without some degree of physicality. KyoAni is just taking artistic liberties to make it more dramatic than real life.

>>151006619
Was the "confession of love" shit necessary?
Was the shit on mountain with touching her face necessay?
Was it necessary to have the only guy be ignored for the entire show?
What the fuck Kyoani?!

>>151006601
The twitter post by Crunchyroll implied that Kumiko and Reina are homosexuals in love with each another in an attempt to bait people into watching Sound! Euphonium by selling it as a serious lesbian drama show.

>>151006657
>Was the "confession of love" shit necessary?
Yes, 'love' doesn't always mean 'romantic love'

>Was the shit on mountain with touching her face necessay?
Yes, Reina is metaphorically and literally breaking any boundaries she has with Kumiko.

>Was it necessary to have the only guy be ignored for the entire show?
There's like 8 guys, but if you mean Shoe, then I would have to agree with you on this one, he's been misused unless they pull off something satisfying for him in the last 2 episodes.

>>151006542
>this scene did nothing for the plot.
The scene showed Reina being vulnerable and considering throwing her audition before Kumiko makes sure she knows she has at least one person supporting her. It was one of the more important scenes in the show.

Really what you're saying is that their faces being so close together, and that one line about love did nothing for the plot. For sure, if they're not gay, then the way they're talking about love seems pretty exaggerated, but it all makes sense in the plot.

Yuri.

Any non angry dyke who wants to understand why kyoani completely shitted on him.

For these last two episodes, i just really want Reina to finally “peel that good girl mask” from Kumiko that she claimed she’ll do ever since the beginning of the show.

Just please let it happen. LET KUMIREI FINALLY BE ENDGAME I STG IVE NEVER WANTED TWO CHARACTERS TO KISS DAMMIT. ALL THE BUILD UP KYOANI HAS DONE WITH THEM… WITH THE HOLDING HANDS, THE LINGERING LOOKS, THE BLUSHING, THE STARING, THE SHAMELESS FLIRTING, EVEN JEALOUSY IS SHOWN AND REINA’S ICONIC “I’m just going to go right up to your face like 1 inch away from kissing you just because” IT!

Nah, if having shitty english trigger retards like you, i'm fine then.

2 girls in love is simply superior in every way.

I wonder what Shoe thinks of Reina. I get the impression she's such an ice queen that barely anyone in the band talks to her besides Kumiko (hell, it was weird to see Ribbons trying to be friendly). Does he know how weird she is? If he has aspirations towards Kumiko, he'll have to deal with Reina.

I see the second one as more in tune with anime Reina, specially after the latest episode and how she bluntly asked Taki about his wife.

>>151007633

Trumpet section seems to notice.

>>151007661

2nd confession is serious than the 1st one which can be played out as laughs. Anyway it happens after nationals apparently where they failed to get gold I don't see her personally confessing just yet.

God, that pic on the left is just so great

What is Ribbons looking at?

If Shuichi doesn't have the hairpin before he meets up with Kumiko in the lobby then he's officially cucked by Kyoani.

>>151007645
So, she gave him chocolates with her period blood, right? That seems to be a thing people in Japan do.

>>151007372
I got that impression just from the anime. It's just a few scenes, but she does seem pretty convinced that Kumiko wants the Shoe.

>>151007781
most likely no hairpin. he will at least get to calm her down and finish what he wanted to say before he got interrupted by reina in the haunted house. then he'll get his closure. no romantic conclusion whatsoever.

If Kumiko hadn't gone to Kitauji, who would Reina have latched onto?

Or would she just be alone and comfortable with that?

>>151008690
>At the end of the third novel, Reina confesses to Taki that she loves him after the final concert while all the bands/mentors are being honored. However, because of her choice to speak to him in this situation, Taki takes her words as a sign of respect from a student rather than of romantic interest. Despite knowing that her intentions were misunderstood, Reina smiles anyway, as observed by Kumiko, and seems content with his polite response. REINA LATER LEARNS FROM TAKI PERSONALLY ABOUT HIS WIFE AND HER PASSING.

>we're not getting shuichi's confession to kumiko
>we're not getting reina's confession to taki-sensei

>>151009613
Hibike is the first real yuribait they've had. Mio and Ritsu in K-On are basically just friends, it's the fans who made them gat. In Tamako Market Midori seemed to have feelings for Tamako but it was pretty clear it wouldn't go anywhere.

Hibike Euphonium though... the scenes between Kumiko and Reina are insane. They're totally at odds with the storylines of their respective love interests. It doesn't matter how the novel ends, or what the true ending ought to be, in the show the balance is so absurdly off that hearing them deny it is difficult to take. They've written themselves into a corner now, there's no way to come back from it. The show can only end with most of the audience confused and disappointed.

>>151009914

What? The penultimate episode ended in a cliffhanger that implied they were breaking up. They're obviously not, but if they were they'd have to be in a gay romance already.

So what happens if the hairpin doesn't even show up in the finale?
Do we riot?

>>151010201

Stop exaggerating. People would focus more on the story than the blatant shipfaggotry of a mess that Kyoani created. And don't even compare Hibike! to that steaming pile of shit.

>>151009914
You're a delusional retard. There was never any romantic subtext in anything Reina and Kumiko did. The only people calling Hibike yuri/yuribait are western imbeciles who can't fathom the idea of two people from the same gender being physically close.

Ok so replace Kumiko with Taki in all scenes Reina did with her, or replace Reina with Shoe to be with Kumiko, or imagine Shoe with his shorter boy buddy, no one would ever say that wasn't romantic baiting even if they didn't get love confession or a kiss, no one would ever say they are just friends.

The real problem is that yuribaiting with girls is just easy to write in and then write off as a phase, we talk about a country who made class S and all that all-girl school testing for romance move.

But to be fair even the author of the novel said that Kumiko was attracted to Reina like a boy did for some time but passed that as adolescence moment.

>>151010430
>strip Shoe

>>151010323
It's not yuri if one race are female dragons.
The main girl is pretty asexual even for a harem lead standards.

Lets hope they won't cut out loli dragon girl and her classmate interactions.

>>151010302
I'm not even a yurifag but Reina invading Kumiko's personal space with her face so often and both of them making "confessions of love" and holding hands and gripping tightly is difficult to consider subtext. Even if you don't think they mean what they say, they literally say out loud that they're confessing their love, that's just text.

If nothing's supposed to be read into any of that, then it's difficult to defend.

>>151010498
I want KyoAni to do the dick growing chapter just to see the yuri fanbase lose their shit.

>>151010455
To give it a more dramatic punch. I mean this is the anime world, it's clear when someone has romantic feelings when they blush, and Kumiko didn't. They only real bait I can think off is during the festival in episode 1 of S2.

>>151010464
>But to be fair even the author of the novel said that Kumiko was attracted to Reina like a boy

I don't think she said that, she said that Kumiko saw Reina as this godly figure, her feelings towards her were beyond any petty romance.

/u/fags are worse than tumblrinas. They get delusional just because two characters from the same sex get touchy. Your brain must have something wrong if you even consider for a moment the possibility of Kumiko and Reina getting together when Reina has said how much she loves Taki.

>>151010600
>They only real bait I can think off is during the festival in episode 1 of S2.

They baited yurifans right there into thinking the entire season will be the same or perhaps even more, but then they transitioned their relationship into a platonic one. Nothing really came close to that particular scene.

I really like how Midori gets all excited the moment someone talks about romance and crushes.

>Hanada: Yes, there was no need to do that. Based on that foundation, I found Kumiko an easy character to use in moving the story forward from a protagonist’s point of view. As such, I had to be careful about the situation between her and Shuuichi, to make sure this romantic subplot didn’t become too prominent. (laughs) And when it was animated, it was even less romantic—a further one or two steps back from where the scenario was.

>new
Literally from episode 1

>– How did you model your characters?

>Takeda: When I decided to write about wind music, I got a lot of input from various people like my friends who were in the band in middle school, and friends of those friends. I was greatly influenced by those meetings. Also, it feels like I used my and their traits and experiences when modeling the characters. I didn’t project myself on any of the characters though. (laughs)

>When I was thinking about the plot, I thought about putting Reina, not Kumiko, as the protagonist. It was only the trumpet solo competition with Kaori that she had though. But if she were the protagonist, then it would be a story about this musically talented first year would clash with the upperclassmen and feel like it’s judging people who don’t have a lot of passion for the club…. Thus, the character of Kumiko, a person who would be a step back and calmly observe the surroundings and furthermore be in a storytelling role, was born.

>>151019389
>Takeda: Sapphire was a character born while I was writing. People would lose interest in the long gap before Taki-sensei shows up, so I wanted to insert a character with impact to fill in that gap. She’s a naïve person with a cutesy name, so she’s practically a modern-day female high schooler! I thought about assigning her the role of mood maker.

>Shuichi is a “convenient fellow.” Kumiko has a bit of a bothersome personality, so there needed to be a character that looked out for her by her side. In my mind, he wasn’t handsome, so when I saw Asada Nikki-san’s illustration for the first cover, I was shocked. (laughs)

>Yuuko is a necessary character that is wrong in the plot, but was created to have an impression of Kaori that she’s this magnificent person. It was very fun to write how she and Sapphire acted. Conversely was Kumiko. I’ve never known someone who was fundamentally passive, so writing how she would act was difficult.

>– I can understand. The adviser Taki-sensei is very popular, but, as the author, how do you view him?

>Takeda: He’s a teacher who is fascinated with the evolution of technology. He’s poor at handling students, so he still has a way to go as an adviser. He feels like… he’s a person who’s very blunt and will say harsh things to express. (laughs) But that type of mentor happens sometimes in wind music. Though he’s strict and won’t hold anything back when speaking, he has charisma, so the students respond to that.

>>151019452
>– Please talk to us about Sound! Euphonium 2: North Uji High School’s Concert Band’s Hottest Summer. By the way, did you write novel 1 planning for a sequel?

>Takeda: Not at all. I didn’t think once that it would become this long series. When I was writing volume 1, I thought “there’s no need to reveal everything,” so I dared to write parts leaving mysteries present. After all, you don’t know everything about the people you meet in everyday life, right? For example, there was meaning in the reason that the second years quit in volume 1, but in volume 2 that mystery is revealed. I wrote while frantically thinking “why would the second years quit?” (laughs) Having things not written become foreshadowing may be the true pleasure of writing a series.

>– What was the theme of volume 2?

>Takeda: The second years took the main role. The key people in that group were Mizore and Nozomi. It’s an episode that shows that while Nozomi appears to know about Mizore, she really has no understanding what Mizore thinks. Couldn’t that state of not understanding what the other person is thinking continue to apply to lovers or friends? I wanted to try writing about that type of real human relationship in this volume. Also, I wanted to insert more scenes of Natsuki and Yuuko bickering like cats and dogs.

>>151019537
>Next, please tell us about Sound! Euphonium 3: North Uji High School’s Concert Band’s Greatest Crisis.

>Takeda: This was a work that was really hard because it wouldn’t complete itself. I remember writing the graduation ceremony scene and sending it off to my editor saying “I’ll send the rest later.” No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t find “a certain reason” why Asuka would return to the concert band. There has to be a certain event with some kind of impact to bring such a strong-willed girl back to the band, but I couldn’t create that kind of idea…. Eventually, Kumiko goes to her house and gets her to move forward. Thanks to that, Kumiko herself begins anew and starts to grow herself, so it all worked out in the end.

>– So what you’re saying is that you write without settling on a finishing point?

>Takeda: That’s right. If you clearly decide things, then the characters can’t move freely, so I write while loosely deciding the important points. By the way, in regards to the second years Takuya and Riko going out, at some point I got the sense “these two started going out on their own.” I was shocked. “When did this happen?!” (laughs)

It's purely just fanservice and that's it.

>>151019577
>– How did you feel when you heard that there was going to be a media mix of the series with it being animated on TV and even becoming a movie version?

>Takeda: When I was first informed of the news, I went beyond pleased and straight into chaos. “I don’t understand what this means!” The production studio, THE Kyoto Animation, wanted to make an anime using the region as the setting, so their staff were hunting for a source material and by chance they saw Sound! Euphonium when it went on sale. I’m truly thankful it happened. I think this was also fate.

>About half a year after volume one went on sale, the anime was determined and afterwards I was sent “please write a sequel.” Thanks to the anime process, the series was born.

>When I was writing the novel, I didn’t visualize how the characters would look, so I feel I was strongly influenced by it becoming an anime. I was both inspired and thrown into chaos. For example, I didn’t know things like “how would the image of Kumiko I had turn out….?”

>What I was most touched by was being able to hear the “sounds.” I was given a melody to the fictional song “Crescent Moon Dance” that I thought up. Of course there wasn’t a melody in my head while I was writing, so I was truly moved.

I want to get in a fistfight with Midori.

>>151019791
The little ones are the most fierce. She'd fuck you up.

>>151019774
>– With the anime becoming very popular, even more sequels were created.

>Takeda: In order to match the second season of the anime, it was decided that more sequels would come out. My editor conveyed to me “at this stage, it would be difficult to continue the story of North Uji.” It felt like the writing had finished after 3 volumes and a collection of shorts. But if we were to set it at “Rikka High School,” that appears in the series, then I could write about a different protagonist who participates in marching band. And so that was decided.

>While I was writing, I went to Kyoto Tachibana High School to collect information. Their practices are really intense. Their arm and instrument angles are precisely determined, their movements are exact, they repeat the steps over and over. It’s like they’re endlessly Cossack dancing. It really felt like they were “THE strongest high school.” I was very impressed when I spoke to graduates and they said “I wouldn’t think about going through that again, but I’m definitely glad I participated in it. It was an extraordinary experience.” Beginning with those conversations, I wrote while using information from the adviser Tanaka-sensei and details from watching their efficient practices in such a narrow courtyard.

It was his wife's songbook that he gave to Reina, right?
It feels odd to me that he would do that. I mean he did it knowing Reina didn't know what it is, so he wouldn't expect that to mean anything to her, but still...
Maybe it was a post-grieving shedding of possessions, but it's at odds with how he seems pretty sentimental the rest of the time.

>– Did you have anything you focused on while modeling the Rikka characters?

>Takeda: Similar to when I wrote Sound! Euphonium, I wrote while consciously thinking of a pair of characters together as “one person.” Also, I kept in mind relationships that I didn’t insert into North Uji. Like two people coming to Rikka from the same middle school or sisters (twins).

>My image of the protagonist, Azusa, expanded once I saw the anime. She might be the character that was most influenced by the anime. Azusa and Kumiko are alike, but different. I used different descriptive styles to show their differences. For example, Kumiko would insert a straight man response in her heart, but Azusa would say that out loud. Kumiko would describe legs while Azusa would depict arms, eyes, and hair.

>– The relationship between Azusa and Amika is very special.

>Takeda: The first draft of the story had Azusa thoroughly brainwashing Amika. Of course I went too far and had to make it a bit milder.

how strong is Sapphire Kawashima?

>>151020149
She's Berserker tier for sure.

>>151020149
The thing's mostly hollow wood

Is Hibike Euphonium worth watching for the romance at all? Not the yuri bait in the OP, left is paired with a male student and right has a thing for their teacher right?

romance in this show is like walmart-grade ketchup on a $400 steak

ruins the steak for people who like the steak, and people who like ketchup will like it more with a more fitting meal

No, it isn't a romance anime.

Watching this show for the romance is like ordering a steak, eating it and wondering why it doesn't taste like grilled dory

>>151020227
Not really. The Kumiko/Reina relationship is the highlight. Even if you choose not to think of it as yuri, their friendship is really endearing.
