A bit of a long name but definitely interesting. This adaptation is actually based on a novel written by the author. We'll find out more info (probably cast, studio, maybe a PV) by the end of the year.

After watching Shigatsu recently, I'm even more interested in this now.

What is up with these novels and having really boring school synopsis'? They all seem to star high school kids in clubs and whatnot.

I don't understand the appeal of such stories.
"Hey, assbutt!"—Castiel, Supernatural

"Do you ever have a problem where you just don't know how to reply to an argument-- not because you don't know the answer, but you just don't where to begin? Like, the foundation of knowledge you'd need to impart to this person before you could even begin to drag them out of their sinkhole of ignorance would cost thousands of dollars, if it were coming from a University?" -MAL in a nutshell.

Agreed , Most of the anime getting animated recently are about clubs with weird plot -_-

Yay, another long title.

I might check it out - the fact that the characters have brass instruments caught my eye.

Image gives off a somewhat "Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso" or "Soul Catcher(S)" vibe.

Wah, the author is young~ I wonder if the story is still ongoing (the novel) :O The story sounds like something you usually find in sports manga, so that'll be interesting to read with a music theme for once. I'll read the short story later to get more of an understanding of it, but for now it seems fine imo or better than what's usually announced to get an anime adaption.

Novel released back in December 2013, and from the looks of it, it's only one volume long. Though the site may be teasing a sequel.

EDIT: Ah, it's not a a continuation of the original novel. Just short stories about the characters.

So this is a novel adaption, not a light novel.

Please please please please tell me the guy isn't the main character. This looks kind of interesting, but having it be a harem would just fucking murder it.

Hm... band anime. But literally "school band" stuff, not light music club, or classical music, or some garage group. This could be unique, in a way.

I think its because they ran out of good plots. So stay with the usual slice of life boring plots.

"Because we can't come up with a clever title, well just go ahead and describe what happens in the show"
I swear that's the naming process for each and every of those dumb titles <_<

anyway at least it's based on a proper novel...apparently.

There's novels like that in every country. They're adapting that kind of novels in anime because it's easier to adapt, and because it will probably appeal more to anime fans than novels staring adults, for example. Look at baccano for example . Only adults. It sold crap. There are always exceptions, sure, but they probably consider that adapting a novel with only adults MC in it to be far more risky than one with teenagers MC.

BTW, I seriously laugh at all the "it's a novel, not a LN, so it's better" kind of posts above. You obviously have absolutely no idea about how blurry can be the difference between a LN and a novel in term of content. It just depends on the edition it's published in. And some titles actually are both LN and novels because they were published in both, as well.

As expected, judging from the short story at least, the music theme is more important than in a certain light music club anime... And looks like with this anime, the red glasses frame trend will be continued further (which I sadly didn't notice when looking at the image of the website, but only when I was already reading the text OTL).
