| That was the first episode I liked lol. |
| I do say, Kousaka was fabulous this ep. Absolutely fabulous. Smashing. |

Kitoge said: It would be if you didn't know about this (refering to Kumiko). I'm of the opinion that Reina knew of Taki-sensei through her father (a professional trumpeter) and she knew where Taki-sensei was going to teach. She knew how good of teacher and player he was. Thus she turned down that invitation to Kitauji to learn/study under Taki-sensei.htsuji said: I'm curious.  Yes this is quite interesting if you look at this, she rarely flinches or reacts to what he does. Which means she knows his teaching style. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| Haha just by looking how many people commented on this ep, shows that it was amazing:) Well Kumiko in the beginning of the ep(boobs contest)so funny >o< Of course Taki-sensei knows what to say in the end! Reminds me a bit of Kataoka-kantoku from Diamond no Ace...of course mean the speech :P Kousakas smile was just beautiful..(I was like O.o... wahh...:D) and I guess after many stressful situations in her life, she already knows how to deal with them(when she suddently played). Thankfully everyone snaped out of it~~phuuu I really like this anime, the graphic is wonderfull and the chracters are realistic and individual(mean the style), still I would like more personal development. Tch!~~Kumiko clicking her tongue :P |

Tch!~~Kumiko clicking her tongue :P Actually the level of commentary is pretty average for this season. It's not even close to the most discussed episode this week. Even if it were just because something would get a lot of posting doesn't say anything about the quality of it let alone the show, just that people are posting in the threads. It doesn't even necessarily mean it's on topic. I mean Fate UBW gets 1000+ posts an episode and most of it is just pure grade shitposting and noise. sbyrstall said: midori101482 said: It's these little things that make me appreciate anime over US animation.

American movies cartoon or live action have tons of little visual and audio quirks to them. |

I can see more in live actions since those come from the actors themselves. Animated movies, not so much. I've watched a fair amount of Pixar, Dreamwork and Disney. The details are more like hidden jokes or Easter eggs than putting in character quirks. |

| Thank you, Cirris. I don't go here enough to remember that. |
| natsuki is PERFECTION kumiko is PERFECTION asuka is PERFECTION THANK YOU KYOANI |
| Loved the scene after the train, the performance was great too. Very smart of Kousaka to draw the band's attention to herself before they panicked. |
Mirai, zura~!  |
| Great episode ! Kousaka Reina became the best girl (sorry Asuka :/). Her smile was too cute (*-*). The music was good, the public seemed intrigued. |
| Excellent episode, their animation is top notch :D love the marching too :) |
 |
sonofcasbah said: This guy gets itnatsuki is PERFECTION kumiko is PERFECTION asuka is PERFECTION THANK YOU KYOANI |
| Reina is quite different this episode. She seems happy. Asuka really hot! ... well all girls looked pretty in that band outfit! And looks like Kitauji HS this time makes people notice them. A really new start from scratch to Kumiko. |
 |
| This show has absolutely fantastic animation, especially the hair flipping scene. I really liked that one! I feel like a lot of the appeal for this series is due to its nostalgic nature of high school band, which I know a lot of people were involved in, unfortunately I wasn't. I still like the show, but some of its broad appeal is lost on me in that sense. But I am learning more about band terms I've heard for years! |
| This show has so many little gestures and details that add that a small kick to the series. Most obvious was Kousaka's smiling scene and when she blew the trumpet (double layer animation), but also Asuka's gestures, Kumiko's tongue click and her slouching in the train among other things. Even sensei did a little pointing with his arms. Such things you can't capture with words and can only be expressed visually. I also love the guy characters in this series. XD The change in characters are subtle and realistic, and Kumiko does great as narrator commenting on the change in atmosphere, etc. I really like that. And within the band there's still the desire to show up the sensei, but it really serves to motivate them. Kousaka breaking the tense mood was great, and how the spectators were beginning to notice their band made me really happy! Also a bit of characterization on Asuka. She's strangely relationable. Competent in many aspects, but doesn't want to take that leading position. The build-up and pacing is really subtle and gradual. Feels realistic. I'm hoping to see the band really succeed. :) |

| Just curious, is getting a tan considered a bad thing in Japan? They seemed really bothered by it |
| I thought we were just going to have an ensemble for orchestra... didnt expect they will do a marching band as well. >_< |

onigirihakase said: Thank you for the video. I enjoyed it quite a lot :DD |
 |
| Heyy, that was a pretty good performance! And the outfits look GREAT! Had to see how the original was and I have to say. I much prefer the concert band version, I wish the full version will be in the OST. |
| The performance was like too short.. quite disappointed with that. |
 |
| Other than the contrived yuri bait, this show is great so far. |
| Salmon is delicious. |

|
| Pretty decent episode. But man, does the aesthetic stay gorgeous, especially during the city scene at night. Really can't get enough of how this show looks. Hazuki is one of the biggest cuties I've ever seen. She's just a giant ball of adorable. The marching uniforms on the girls were very cute. Well, looks like Reina wants the D. Exaccus said: Other than the contrived yuri bait, this show is great so far. Yeah, this teased yuri shit is beyond annoying and it feels like it takes away from whats going on. Wish they'd knock that off. AS for the quality of the show, I'd still say it's just around average. Previous KyoAni works still run circles around this one. |
s0ck said: Man, every time I listen to them play I get a huge hit of nostalgia and I tear up. I love everything about this show. I also think Kousaka either didn't accept to go to Rikka because she knew about Taki-sensei going to Kitauji HS, or because deep down she wanted to be with Kumiko. I feel you... Marching band was fun, but it's so hot... And on that second part, that's probably it. I'll be surprised if it's much different. JPthugnificent said: Ugh, this episode reminded me of my high school days when I was in marching band... practices under the summer heat was always killer, and when we had to march with our uniforms, it got even worse. Not saying this was bad, just brought back some painful memories :/ Also, I see that they're not using the marching tubas. Which is kinda weird, since those tubas are usually the things that stick out. Fun episode! Yeah, I know, right? It's so tiring to march in the heat. Fun, but painful memories.... Oh, they weren't... I didn't even notice. How would that work? Aren't tubas extremely hard to carry, so we use sousaphones instead? Yakuman said: Anyone know what piece did Kitauji play? It's very catchy, I liked it a lot. I was told it was a Sousa march. I forget which one. ooo333 said: Oh gosh... can we please stop it with the comments of how this anime reminds you of your life.... every episode forum.... But that's partially the point of the anime, I think... It's about band. Of course the people who have been in band or are in band will tend to relate and reminisce. destructo22 said: Asuka as the drum major is fuckin beast. And Reina's smile....aw lawd, my heart. She really is. Those maneuvers are actually pretty hardcore. My friend was Drum Major this year, and he literally practiced for hours to get that sort of thing down. And he still would drop it sometimes... |

TheBatotot said: htsuji said: What's wrong with this episode? I'm just curious. quite curious as well, i'm pretty sure they had Yamaha provide all the models for their instruments so i dare say they are accurate That's actually really cool. Kudos to KyoAni. I didn't notice anything too out of place personally. I'll have to keep an eye out in future episodes. |

No band in the states wears anything like that.Welp, I think their outfits are cute in terms of design:  Pthugnificent said: Usually competing marching bands would use converting tubas instead of Sousaphones. If they had marching tubas the why not marching baris and euphs?Also, I see that they're not using the marching tubas. Which is kinda weird, since those tubas are usually the things that stick out. y123y said: No. I like to hear the other poster's experience with band, concert and marching. This show is hitting a lot of memories for many here. How can that be a bad thing? I'm have more memories of my years of marching (about a decade of marching experience in between high school, university and drum corps-junior and senior).Oh gosh... can we please stop it with the comments of how this anime reminds you of your life.... every episode forum.... I've been seeing a lot of questions about why not much about SunFest. As I saw it, this wasn't about SunFest, it was about getting to SunFest. All the work and practice they needed to do to get their. I bet there is information online about something similar to SunFest online with videos attached to it. This show is my must watch series for this season. Two thumbs up. Just... Yes. To like everything you've said. gandalf8 said: The SunFes performance was also good. I wouldn't say they were amazing or anything, but it was definitely miles better than than the first time they tried to play in an ensemble in front of Taki sensei. Wish the performance sequence was a bit longer though, although its understandable they should save their budget on animating the more important future performances. Definitely. Not amazing, but much much better. tetrix1993 said: Good episode. I like the part where Kumiko "tch" at that guy. I'm starting to ship them. TragicRomance said: I freaking love Shuichi x Kumiko. That tch was awesome. Yes. I love them too - or starting to. I don't mind shoujo ai, but I'd personally like these two together more. fst said: parfaited said: Still rather boring though a large part of that just might be me projecting because I was in the string orchestra and we had a rivalry of sorts with the band. Those losers marching outside in the heat while we were indoors being classy as fuck. String orchestra master race reporting in here, I see. I love this comment. |

sbyrstall said: FYI, you might want to look at drum corps which you can easily find on Youtube. They put a lot of other music groups to shame. The drum corps (DCI, right?) are amazing. I love watching them. snapular said: Rikka's piece was an arrangement of "Funiculi Funicula" by Alfred Reed, a very well known composer of concert band music. Never thought I'd hear anything by him in an anime. Oh, so that's what it was. I knew it sounded familiar somehow. Thanks! sbyrstall said: She knew how good of teacher and player he was.

Mirorin said: (double layer animation) What is that? I guess I'll look it up then. LauraBirdie said: Just curious, is getting a tan considered a bad thing in Japan?

Orchestra (a full one at least) would imply strings as well as an altered band set up (not as many). |

A concert band may occasionally have a sting bass to help with the bottom. A band is multipurpose music group. As a past member of a concert band you do it all - concerts, parades, halftime shows, etc. Orchestras are mostly just the butt sitters. Many will crossover to band for marching band, either the woodwinds and brass for more instruments or added flags and rifles.Fiji said: I thought we were just going to have an ensemble for orchestra... didnt expect they will do a marching band as well. >_< It's just band.

| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| Fine episode, but their perfomance was too short. |

| I started to groove a little when they started playing. Too bad it was cut so short after all that build up/anticipation. Will never understand the bigger breasts thing. There are way more cons than pros to having them. Wish I had smaller breasts. |
| Music from anime is slowly beginning to emerge. #TeamAsuka still the champion. |

| Reina's smile stopped my heart HNNNNNGGHHH but Asuka confirmed with her scenes in this episode and she is still the best girl <3. |
 |
| Cheesy high school bands have never been so good. Moreover the character designs in this show are absolutely gorgeous. Kousaka and Asuka specially. I think Kousaka is going to provide the dramatic content in this show. The uniforms they have to wear are pretty ugly though compared to some of the other schools. |

| And there's the now famous smile, spreading gifs everywhere. And for good reason! Good episode, lots of growth. And surely this is still only the tip of the iceberg. |
| I loved the scene between Kumiko and Azusa Also the uniforms and the last parade |
| Great Job on the performance! It was very good! I'm glad that Kitauji is now noticed by others. |
 |
| Very lovely episode, I especially loved the response of all the people when they started playing! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| is this meant to be shoujo ai or nah bc I'm shipping Kumiko and her childhood friend, the one she sat next to on the bus. that was a cute moment |
