| I am so glad the music teacher intervened. I don't believe he was in the wrong. MAny of the band students were just lazy and are not used to putting in a lot of effort into improving themselves as musicians. I agree with the teacher: if they really want to compete, then they have to practice and improve more. |
 |
| Might be time I lowered my expectations a bit, this show is quite boring. |
| Previous episode : Sensei was an ass. This episode : Sensei was awesome. ^ That's how the general audience think. I have always thought that sensei wasn't so bad, in fact I like him quite a bit since his first appearance, but many people seem to like to judge too soon. The part between Oumae and Kousaka was nice, if only for Oumae's 'impersonation' of Mihashi from Oofuri, it totally reminds me of that scene, and I love it. <3 Everything was great in this episode, but there is one thing I really disliked, and that is how both Oumae and Kousaka treat Tsukamoto. :/ |

| LMAO @ " she'll kill me " I fucking love that ED tho |
 |
| Teach is still cool as hell. Wonder why Reina is so defensive of him tho |
 |
| At first I've thought, it will be about cute girls doing cute things, but holy shit i am sold. The sensei, the main character, the ost, so far it is really awesome and can't wait to marathon it 😁 |

| i've said it before but i'm going to say it again, but that instructor is truly excellent. whipped them into line within a week. they students were all apprehensive of his ways but once they saw the fruits of their labour, they realised that his way was the righteous one. |
| -All of these music prep exercises are all pretty nostalgic -They made the musical dissonances within the sectionals a ton more obvious in this episode, compared to the first one. Maybe it's also just because my volume's louder watching this episode. -Looks like the bass section was the one that Taki ripped apart the least -That scream was terrifying -It was a pretty interesting (and clever) decision to have Hazuki do lip slurs with the tuba pistons in full view, because they didn't have to animate the fingers moving but still got the point across that Hazuki was trying to improve at tuba playing. -It's also amazing how much research they put into this. Playing notes with only a brass mouthpiece is like a really nostalgic exercise for me -They also animated cleaning the inside of a clarinet pretty accurately -It is actually pretty amazing how detailed the pre-ensemble practice scene was, with Kumiko I think emptying out her spit valve as well as the clarinet cleaning -Even when they were tuning you could hear the moment when Hazuki (presumably) played the tuning note because of how the tuba's sound wavered. -The fingerings for the pistoned instruments were pretty spot on, but I'm not sure about the other types of instruments since I only used to play the trumpet. -The interesting thing about the schedules Taki passed on to Haruka is that he had them prepared before gauging the process of the band, as if he expected them to live up to his expectations beforehand. It's a small thing, but it carries a lot of significance without directly using words. The visuals of this show are pretty spectacular and musically accurate most of the time, which really impresses me. Usually KyoAni just puts a lot of detail into things that have no bearing on the plot, but the things they do in this show are very much relevant to the progression of the story. |

favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |
| And a resounding "meh" was heard. |
| this episode brought a new shift in momentum with the series, now the band has learned through trial and error in practice about dedication and self determination. I loved the scene with oumae and kousaka san so heartwarming when they made up, & shouts out to taki sensei |
| Taki-sensei is an awesome character. I like how he uses a direct approach and keep things simple and straight. He's the kind of teacher I always wanted but never had. Aside from that, the Episode was really good. |
 |
| The artwork is so freaking amazing. They're just showing off at random now. Slow episodes so far, but them coming together at the end is giving me more hope for the future of the band. |
 I have small reviews for almost ALL anime I've seen. Unlike any regular MAL page you've seen. Ever wondering what I've watched and what I think about it? Check my List out below! https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Iam_Jermaine |
| It's possible that the conductor's methods only seem harsh to the band because they're used to a lot more chill environment. Perhaps in other schools that place more emphasis on music, these methods are the standard. Kumiko is slowly coming into her own, and it seems like this time she managed to catch Reina off-guard, but in a good way. But I also really enjoy that the show lets us get a glimpse into the different ways the various band members are dealing with this situation. |
| What a retarded, unlikeable cast of characters. I hate them all except Asuka and president. This episode was stupid and boring. |
| The end of this episode was great,hard work paid off,but from now on it's getting even more taxing. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Another nice episode. Wow Taki’s training methods are pretty intense. I don’t know if I would’ve survived lol. But at least the students pulled through, even the lazy ones. Reina and Kumiko talked a bit more. And Kumiko was able to finally say all the things she wanted to towards Reina. Even if she ran away after lol. Taki saw that the band was finally putting in an effort and deemed them worthy to go to SunFes. I can’t wait to see what they’ll be playing! |
| Ahh, the last few scenes in this episodes were so well-done! Especially the Kumiko and Reina one. I could make an album of all these Kumiko faces     And here's a bonus one of Natsuki sleepily getting up to play  |
| Finally they can play simultaneously. |
| "What's wrong Katou-chan? Are you in pain? Are you giving birth?" - Proof that Asuka has the best lines. Overall, not an impressive episode, but it showed that the Band made some really neat progress. And the techer did not bother me this time! |
 |
| Ah, so he's not the teacher that let the band self-destruct the previous year. That makes a lot more sense. With that as a basis, we can pretend that his truly God awful "teaching" up to now was just him trying to feel out the remaining students, which means he's just a moderately incompetent teacher rather than a complete waste of tax payer money. Of course, I may be biased here as I've never liked the "first, let's make the class hate me" approach to teaching. That aside, it feels like this series is trying really, really hard to convince you that its deep and meaningful, rather than actually being deep or meaningful. |
| Looks like they got their stuff finally together, even that lazy girl in the bass section is practicing now. Kumiko seems very... realistic to me to be honest. Depending on the person she's talking to she behaves quite differently, just like how I would expect from a student. |
| Did anyone else catch that one girl grab her mouthpiece with intent to throw it as she was waiting for sensei's verdict? It's the little things like that in this show that really add to the humor and make me appreciate it. The show is slow to start, but it's laying a foundation and I'm appreciating it so far. |
 |
| This time the thing that I appreciate most, in addition to the narration, the plot and the characters, is the way in which the episode highlights the character of the characters in their ego: contrived and expressive, too. Excellent quality of drawings, animations and backgrounds. |
 |
| Seems like Taki-sensei actually teaches them something which works now that they at least can perform a simple piece for the ensemble (heck even the lazy and whiny students participate now) instead of the dumb 'come get me if you're ready' attitude. Kind of bothered by his argument that they made the choice to go to the nationals since there are probably members who didn't chose for that at all. |
 |
| I like how she just spurted out all her thoughts and feelings and just tested herself out of there as if it was an embarrassing love confession not trying the gachabon anymore though, 0/10 anime |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Finally, their ensemble is bareable. But them being on pitch and harmonious is the limit of my musical knowledge. Good to know that these people will actually have to practice on Sundays. They will finally feel the practice pain I felt with swimming for the past 10 years. |
   |
| The best episode yet. Finally they played together and it sounded beautiful this time although not technically perfect yet. |
 |
| The ensemble band gods have smiled, not all but most of them and barely at that. LOL Some of the complainers either have to shape up even more and all of them work even harder or risk shaming all of themselves on SunFes. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Why are the students making such a fuss over the exercises when it's crystal clear that it will help a lot in increasing their lung capacity? But anyways the whining did actually unify them and they genuinely sounded better. Kumiko's reaction faces were pretty funnyXD "Creeped her out?" Nah Kousaka's clearly very flattered by what you said Kumiko. Are you giving birth? Lol Asuka. Now that's a buurn. |
 |
| Character development is just as great as the memeable face expressions. Seriously their funny faces catch me off guard to pop a small giggle |
   |
| Taki is the man! Damn, the way they all finally came together in the end. I got chills. |
 |
| So much of Hibike and Violet Evergarden are similiar, in so many good ways Kyoto truly is above and beyond the #1 studio for high end anime |
| Great now they can play at the Sunrise Festival, also things look better between Kumiko and Reina |
 |
| Why didn't the students except for Kousaka realize the problem was them and not the teacher? How did they think they would be able to play an ensemble without practicing? Are they that dumb? Did it seriously take them that long to realize their teacher was serious?. |
 |
| Look, that's how it goes.. you teach people earnestly and then they give results. Wonder why sensei left them on their own means when of course he'd have recognized their unmotivated selfs straight away.. though maybe that's a part of teaching as well, anyways band gave a satisfactory performance and will go to the music fest next time. Also I'm not sure but I could sense plenty of kids there who aren't aiming for nationals... though they would've raised their hands instead of hesitating and going with the flow when votings were done lol. |
 |
| Kumiko's reactions are a highlight for me. Also, Kousaka was way too defensive for that Sensei. Another something is going on, it seems. |
 |
| Euphonium circus is here ! |
| Really like the vibe of this show, feels very grounded and plausible though I can't say for sure given I never played any music much less have been in a band. |

-Even when they were tuning you could hear the moment when Hazuki (presumably) played the tuning note because of how the tuba's sound wavered.
-The fingerings for the pistoned instruments were pretty spot on, but I'm not sure about the other types of instruments since I only used to play the trumpet.

| @ThreePercent I get what you say about the detail, that random guy pretending to march to the music would be considered unnecessary frippery for a lesser studio. Not only did it take me straight back to people dicking around in secondary school, It also helps the band seem like it exists in a living world, where even the background extras have lives; the actions of our main cast are all the more impactful for it. Also, I'm a whore for visuals and these backgrounds are amazing. Love myself some good scenery. |
