What do Yas Forumsnons think of Hibike Euphonium

Hidden gem that filtered the plebs or another boring kyoani show

>hidden gem

Never heard of it

>filtered?

>or another boring kyoani show
Calling it boring is too nice of a thing to do. It's downright bad. Imagine being so creatively bankrupt you need to make a show about high schoolers in an attempt tell your coming of age story. I'll never get what midwits see in the directing, either. What I tend to read is praise along the lines of "great attention to detail", "so much subtext from body language" etc. Do these people really think that poorly integrated cuts, showing the audience the feet or the neck of a given character, are somehow interesting, let alone impressive, methods to utilize the mediums unlimited freedom? I can see the appeal of many other popular works, but Eupho's I will never understand.

To this day, I still hope it was the yuribait exclusively making this uninspired dreck sell discs.

Not a hidden gem, but it is a gem. Would cum in Kumiko

Is it a yuri?

check archive

First season is a masterpiece.

It's not a hidden gem cause it's not hidden. It can be a bit boring sometimes. But the team work theme for the orchestra is really nice and Kumiko is a pretty good plain Jane to watch.
tl;dr: I like it.

I tried a few episodes but it wasn't my thing and if I want to get baited I'd just scroll through Yas Forums.

Yes, it’s not called Hibigay Yuriphonium for nothing.

Hyouka is the real pleb filter.

As someone who actually played in a music ensemble in high school, it's great. It captures the cozy feelings, the camaraderie and the stress of performance perfectly. Great show.

Did you wear a skirt too?

I don't want to even go near them on account of you know who

It was underwhelming. Kumiko was the only character worth watching this for.

Top Tier Material

>the plebs

I liked S1 and S2 a lot, even the autism drama of S2 was great. The Liz movie is easily the best kyoani so far. The chikai no finale movie was a let down, though, at least the story is not over yet so maybe S3 will redeem the series because this is kyoani's best franchise right now.

Don't know anything about the show, all I know is that this is the source of the doujinshi that made me remember an author's name. Bless Takeda Hiromitsu.

not even best takeda doujin

It was pretty hot stuff though.

First season is great, second season is trash.

I liked the first season a lot. The social drama was a bit much for me. Also I can't stand their use of 3d with high frame-rate. It looks like Toy Story 3 all of a sudden. And when they were performing outside in season 2, they looked like the zombies from gakkou gurashi.

I really want to like kyoani's stuff (and I often do), but they make a lot of terrible decisions.

author is a repressed dyke

Not hidden and not that much of a gem. It's good but the script quality drops as the series goes on, the latest movie was a drag to watch and I fear the final movie/season will be straight up bad.

First season was good. Second season was such melodramatic garbage though.

Why do people dislike the latest movie? Haven't seen it yet.

I had erections several times through the series, some are on hetero scenes.

>hurts just a little bit

Watch it and you'll understand. It's subbed on nyaa.

that shoe and teacher are lucky guys

i love it

Shuichi is so lucky

I'm a bit of a normie, dont watch a lot of things, but this iais easily the best anime I've watched
Good taste, great drawing, animation, effects, voice acting... and the feels... and Reina's and Asuka's bodies
Also I read once that Yas Forums fell for the yuri bait... you newfags disappoint me...

season 2 was a pleb filter, although i've to accept Nozomi-Mizore drama was too long in comparisson with Kumiko's sister problem.
My guess it's Kyoani realized it around the 4th episode but it was too late and decided to do a spin-off movie to finish the 1st plot, abruptly ending it at the 5th episode then rush to start Asuka's problem, leaving almost no room for Mamiko at the end

They're both so lucky to have each other.

they should have gone full yuri with it
but i still like it

The TV series was good. Liz was great. The sequel movie wasn't so good.

S3 when?

In due time. Until then, we must protect Kumiko

I think the pacing problems are more due to to the fact that S1 adapts one novel, while S2 adapts two novels in the same runtime.

KyoAni could have decided to leave out the Mizore/Nozomi subplot to focus more on Mamiko's arc, but they already included Mizore as a background character in S1. Kumiko's conflict with Mamiko was a big part of the reason why she cosied up to Asuka, so KyoAni probably assumed Takeda was setting up a longer-term arc for Mizore and Nozomi as well. That was a good call: we would have never gotten Liz and the Blue Bird if they left out Mizore and Nozomi's backstory in S2.

I like it, Kumiko a best
the hand drawn instrument kino is the best part

I think it is perfect in every way. S2 start is pretty weak, but it is completely offset by existence of Liz.

I have to say, I watched Liz cold without seeing a single episode of Hibike, and it was STILL the best movie I saw that year. It then got me to finally catch up on Hibike.

I watched Hibike just so I could have the full context for Liz, and ended up falling in love with both.

Yeah. But what I thought made Liz truly excellent is that it stands on its own without the context of Hibike. It reinforces for me that Yamada is the best director in all of anime right now.

Trash and just another example of the continual decline of kyonani, maybe the fire will sort them out for future productions

>Would cum in Kumiko
man, wanting to cum inside Kumiko got really popular recently. Not that I'd fault someone for it.
