Beautiful conclusion to the franchise! I've been caught up with the series for over 5 years and there's been no looking back since, this is an incredibly powerful story and I'm absolutely grateful to Takeda Ayano-sensei and Kyoto Animation for bringing us this to light. Thank you, Hibike! Euphonium. Kumiko-chan trying to come to terms from last episode's ordeal and be upset over it was so genuine. Be proud of yourself and hold your head high, you've earned more than enough to see eye-to-eye with Reina-chan.

Flashbacks during the performance really felt like a journey showing her self-reflection in particular from start to finish. There's been so many fabulous moments from the series, and I will dearly miss it all. But in the end, it's finally time for Kitauji High School to taste victory and reap the goods they deserve. Reina-chan in complete shock is testament, she never let the occasion get to her (except when Taki-sensei was involved xD). School competitions are a silly thing indeed, thanks for making me realise this.

Subtle closure to the Kumiko x Shinichi ship ad that was pretty much it in the romantic side of things. Would've liked to see the skipped content, it'd be nice if they could include it in the Specials to come. It's good to hear that Hazuki-chan and Sapphire-chan have found their own occupations and it's no surprise that Reina-chan is still there in the US. She's a bona fide genius, after all. Kumiko-chan's taken her own team to gold and it's time to follow Taki-sensei's lead next. I doubt it'll happen immediately but she'll probably get it down pat in due time. I can imagine the once-in-a-while phone calls she must be having with Reina-chan, it was established they wouldn't break contact at all or at least that' how I viewed it.

I'd my little issues with the season, namely the pace up and the lack of musical elements in previous episodes, but that's for another day. Mayu-san ended up adding a new layer to the show and that ended up being very fitting. Mad credits to Kumiko-chan's VA too, the voice cracks made it so much more impactful during the delivery of peak emotional moments not just this season but throughout! Very well deserved strong 8/10 from here.

Well, this was it. I can safely say that season 3 might be the weakest one of the Hibike! Euphonium series, but the conclusion was nicely done and somehow S3 was not as messy as I was afraid to be when it started. I'm just happy that it ended well, instead of not having a final piece at all because of that tragedy back in 2019.



Overall: 8.1/10
And the next KyoAni piece begins... and by that I mean next year.

I've been watching each season and each movie once per year and now that the series is finally concluded with Kitauji's hard-fought gold prize, I'll miss watching this show.

Sadly, I didn't feel as emotional as other people with the pacing, episodes being shortened and cut content, but I'll forgive Kyoto Animation for delivering us a gorgeous teacher Kumiko.

This is the first anime i enjoyed watching after my father died. Getting some heals from watching natsume book of friends made me return to animes i guess. I simply love this kind of animes that makes you speechless and think about how beautiful it is written, detailed drawn.

Kyoani <3 I can't be mad at the director for changing the solo result because kyoani made this source so beautiful. Without kyoani this could be a forgotten anime like 3rd class school anime however they give an awesome effort to it.

I don't think i will see another school music anime which can top hibike in terms of drawing and direction for at least 5 years.

I watched this season for my friend who loves this anime and quit watching animes in general. It was so beautiful like you wished it to be my friend <3

Let me give some advice for the ones who love this anime. You need to watch aria francise (aria the animation is the first season of it) asap. It is very similar to hibike however it contains more slice of life elements, calmer atmosphere and gondola instead of music in hibike.

I am so confused. A very unsatisfying ending. To me this feels like a loss for Kumiko. I wanted to see at least some Romance in the end since it was a side plot for the whole series. Did Shuuichi and Kumiko end up together?

So many questions. Why was kumiko backstabbed like this? This made Reina look like a total hypocrite in the end and kind of ruined the character for me completely

I heard that they did not stay true to the source material. How did the story play out in the original?
