| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well Taki got a big responibility with the band considering what they'll have to compete against. I like the little bit of Kumiko and Reina chemistry this episode. As for the performance, I think it was pretty good. Everyone practiced hard and performed at the best of their abilities. Definitely deserved a round of applause from me as well. Grats on making the Nationals! |

| So their on to the next concour and i wonder how that will go. Things are heating up i guess. It was nice to see the entire play for ones. |
| Holy fck that was exciting They finally go to the nationals ! (for the plot ofc) |
| Yay! Kitauji made it to Nationals. |
 "to the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world." -a magnet |
| Man, you know how to keep me on the edge of my seat? Just show a 10-minute performance and shut the fuck up. No inner monologues giving you a recap, just some small visual cues. Great job, KyoAni. |
✧ |
| Damn, I legitimately wanted them to lose after all that garbage we endured through the first 4 episodes, and that total bitch Asuka's speech only made it worse. Considering we aren't even halfway through yet though I suppose this is to be expected. For now, the show has absolutely lost me, but I'll keep watching and try to find something, anything positive to latch onto. |
| Well,they made it. Go Kitauji school. Even though they are the main school for this anime it still keep me intense. I was kinda pissed off when they show the ED only to realize there's still after end credit left. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| I was surprised to see such an epic episode in the middle of the season. Definitely felt like a final episode. Nice to hear the whole song this time with emphasis on Mizore's solo. I think they had a short cut in the middle last time to show something off stage with the other characters. 5/5 ep. |
| That was breathtaking, that whole performance. I was so into it and hearing that they go on to Nationals made me happy. |
| Awesome episode, Loved it. :D Loved that little interaction between Reina and Kumiko, Even though Reina said she plays for herself it was very sweet when she said she'd also play for Kumiko. These small but powerful moments really show how great a friendship both of them have. Amazing performance, Reina Solo and Mizore Solo was great. <3 Loved how they added those little flashbacks for Kumiko and Nozomi. Also 10 minute performance FTW, We need more of those. XD Kitauji won gold and move onto the nationals, I was praying that they'd win and cheering for them. XD Lovely final scene with Reina, Kumiko and Mizore saying she loves competitions for this one moment. |
 |
| Bhuaaa...!!! This was intense, they did in the 20 min. their lungs and muscles till to maximum brought, this was sure damn it not easy it to master that marathon! And the painful long waiting for the rate, if they did or not won... - Man, really, I could literally their pressure with feel...xD Well done KyoAni, well done...!!! Edit: I did almost forgot to say still, g'gratulation Kitauji, you deserve it, you did a good job made!!! |

| can anyone explain why there are multiple Gold medals? |
 |
| Didn't expect the competition to be so early and the skipping scene after Taki-sensei started conducting i thought they would skip their performance part, but well what can i say it was amazing, i think KyoAni did such a great job. Love Kumiko's view during the play, the flashback on the mountain with Reina. And obviously happy for the band, to the Nationals! I chuckled at the scenes with Tsukamoto, feels like they are putting him cause they feel bad for him. |
 |
| Really, dunno how, but somehow should KyoAni from Hibike! a sequel or a spin-off make about (even if they did all 3 vols of the LNs adapted...), I wanna more of them...xD!!! |
|
| MY GOD THAT WAS NERVE WRACKING! All those pictures of them having fun, Asuka and Kumiko exchanging looks, I honestly thought they would not make it...BUT THEY DID BOY!!!!!!!! I shot up out my seat and went nuts! MAN I'm still fired up! LET'S GO AND THAT YURI MOMENT WITH REINA AND KUMIKO! NATIONALS!!!! |

I bet that the nationals will be really serious and shit will get real between all Kitauji band members, i couldn't help but Fan-girl scream lol 5/5 can't wait for next episode! |

| Easy 5/5 from me They finally got gold |
    |
| ...Wow Now I can breath This was so damn awesome, I really liked the others 4, but this... Truly an emotional episode, my eyes got teary during the performance. And see Kumiko stand up and cry made me so proud and happy, it's so wonderful to see how much she is into it now, she's becoming more and more passionate! And as always... KITAUJI FIGHT! |

Tyordiznok said: can anyone explain why there are multiple Gold medals? I guess Medals are just there to qualify the performance, as you can see in the end, the 3 best Gold got into Nationals The same stuff goes for sports on real life, people can get gold, but the maximum honor is "World Record" I think |

| That was so far my favourite episode. The performance was absolutely beautiful! |
| OMG I've got a shivers. It was awesome. That emotions, I felt as it was my competition. Of course the art and animation quality, beautifull. 10/5 episode. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Knew exactly what's gonna happen, but I still moved by this. |
 |
| Breathtaking performance. I'm actually shivering. I'm going crazy. This is too good. |
| Holy shit! This was what I always wanted in Hibike Euphonium. A full-on, uncut, band performance with no monologues and just them playing with a bit of visual imageries. Kyoto Animation answered my prayers xD!! No words can explain how beautiful that performance was. The trumpet solo by Reina was fantastic, that oboe performance by Mizore was an angel-sounding performance to my ears and so many more praises that it would take me a whole paragraph to explain how much I loved this piece........To sum it up, That performace was simply beautiful. ALSO THE YURI BAIT  IS SO STRONG!!  Keep it up, KyoAni 5/5 This is one of the best Hibike episodes I have seen so far. |

| Damn,that was intense......i was so nervous when they were announcing who is advancing to the nationals:') The performance was also amazing...esp.the trumpet and oboe solos.Very emotional. (another thing i loved was Reina and Kumiko trying to outgay Mizore and Nozomi.....and Shuichi looking at them like whyyy) |
| Wonderful episode. Everyone working hard. Thanks Hashimoto & Niiyama Sensei for all the help. Nice speech from Asuka getting everyone pumped & ready. WOW that was an amazing performance. Everyone performed so well. CONGRATS!!! on getting gold & making it to Nationals. All that hard work & determination paid off. KITAUJI FIGHT!! |

| A fantastic episode, the last few were enjoyable but kind of slowed the story down it was mostly about the inter-character drama which worked but it was great to watch them perform their hearts out in this and move on. Go them! Onto Nationals next let's see if they can pull a victory all around and anxious to see where the next set of episodes go. |

| Soooooooooooo goooooooooooooood! Mizore's smile at the end <3!! Reina + Oumae <3 Everything is perfect damn I love this series. KyoAni animated this perfectly! Can't wait for more! |
 |
| Nice, this episode reminded me of that one epic Nodame Cantanbile Episode, which only showed the orchestra playing Rachmaninoff. |

Tyordiznok said: can anyone explain why there are multiple Gold medals? it's a grading system. much like the alphabet grading system used in western schools. If a lot of schools worked hard and preformed well, they'd all get "gold". Like an "A" on a math test. But only the top 3 move on. Kumiko called getting a Gold but not making the next round a "dud gold". It was what Reina and her dealt with in middle school. |
| The performance was breathtaking ! It gave me goosebumps, both Mizore's and Reina's solo were great too. And once again the interactions between everyone in this show are so good, it was nice to see Reina saying she'll play for Kumiko. That was cute |
| nothing but amazing this ep, between the moments between the pairs of this series, to the emotions that runs high when you're about to do something as big as this really amazing also cant forget Asuka and her speech continuing to show why she is best also its been a while since a full ep was about the music and have to say it was really amazing and also finally they won and are moving forward great ep |

| I felt shivers go through me during that whole performance. Truly outstanding job KyoAni! ^_^ All of their hard work and sheer determination has finally paid off and they're now going to the nationals. It's going to be a lot harder to win that outright, but I'm sure Kitauji will give it their all though! =) The interactions between Kumiko and Reina as well as Mizore and Nozomi before their big performance was sweet and relaxing. However, my favourite moment came when Kumiko asked Mizore if she hated competitions still. Replying with a beautiful million-watt smile, she replies to Kumiko that she now loves it. She's had a solid transformation in the last few episodes thanks to Kumiko and Yuko, so seeing her being part of a successful concert band makes me happy for her. =) Best episode of season 2 so far! =D |

Kirie-san said: (shrug) a) don't assume you're the only one just because nobody else found a reason to remark on it, b) just because some was reused don't mean we can't enjoy it.Better than the previous episodes but still not really convincing... Nobody realized that most of the scenes during the performance is exactly the same as those in the last episode of the first season ? |

| brilliant episode. wonderful sound of course. kyoani at its finest. |
| As a former band geek and trumpet player, they really nailed it with the performance. If only my school was even a quarter as good as them. |
