 During the "Hibike! Euphonium 5-kaime da yo! Uji de Omatsuri Festival" event on Saturday, it was announced that Kyoto Animation's Hibike! Euphonium has a new anime project in the works. It will center on Kumiko Oumae and her third and final year at high school. To commemorate the announcement, character designer Shoko Ikeda drew an illustration (pictured).The project will be based on Ayano Takeda's two-volume novel Hibike! Euphonium: Kitauji Suisougaku-bu, Ketsui no Saishuu Gakushou. The second and final novel is scheduled to ship on June 22. Takeda's novels received two TV anime adaptations and four movies. The first 13-episode TV anime aired in Spring 2015 and was followed by a sequel in Fall 2016. Two compilation films, Hibike! Euphonium Movie 1: Kitauji Koukou Suisougaku-bu e Youkoso and Hibike! Euphonium Movie 2: Todoketai Melody, summarized the events of the two TV series and premiered in April 2016 and September 2017, respectively. A side-story film, Liz to Aoi Tori, premiered in April last year that centers on Mizore Yoroizuka and Nozomi Kasaki. Hibike! Euphonium Movie 3: Chikai no Finale premiered on April 19, and takes place during the students' second year. Crunchyroll provided a simulcast for both seasons on its platform. Pony Canyon USA shipped the first season as three collector's editions between June 2016 and August 2016, and released volume one of the second season in August 2018. Eleven Arts licensed Liz to Aoi Tori and shipped it on Blu-ray and DVD in March. Announcement Source: Comic Natalie Hibike! Euphonium: Kumiko 3 Nensei-hen on MAL |

| Hoping for a TV series instead of a movie. |
| Apparently, it would be about Kumiko's third year. If there will be no Asuka, I'm not watching. |
 |
| I'm always up for more Ufo. |

| Not even surprised in the slightest considering how much of a hit Liz to Aoi Tori and the Hibike Euphonium franchise in general is but pleasantly surprised nonetheless! It’s about time I binge the previous adaptions in preparation to this... Anyway, congratulations to the fans of the franchise! |

| I had seen on another website a very curious and revealing synopsis I still hope for the KumiRei ship :3 |
 |
| This garbage shouldn’t get a third season. |
| I really hope we get a third season. |
 |
| Great news, hoping it's a full length TV series. |
 |
| time for yurishippers to cry excited for the new season |
El_Caguai said: I had seen on another website a very curious and revealing synopsis I still hope for the KumiRei ship :3 It won't happen. Not in the novels, nor in the anime. The spoilers you send have a motive for what happens and it's likely that they will come back at the end. |
| Yeah, read that earlier but still happy to read it again in MAL. El_Caguai said: I had seen on another website a very curious and revealing synopsis I still hope for the KumiRei ship :3 I have read the actual synopsis of the novel so it's fantastic that someone managed to squeeze that highlighted word in in the synopsis because it wasn't there in the actual one. Also, to make life easier for you and everyone else: So, yeah, while you can certainly hope for it, just don't get too invested on it all over again. |

| You know it's a good day when the best anime franchise ever gets a new instalment. |
Higurashi Gou is the worst anime in existence. |
| @shanimebib At such times, I increasingly think that NozoMizo was deliberately advancing as an attempt to preserve the yuri potential. Of course, this ship, like Nakayoshikawa, is still in its “adolescence” zone, but at least these girls never had a male love interest. I can not talk about the second film, maybe the new characters also have their ship bait. |
|
| @shanimebib @caio_brb while she is president of the student council at least she could have Reina by her side, and her own cute girls harem. |

Thanks for the constructive input. ------------------------------------------- I didn't have many positive things to say about the franchise at the first view. But after another chance, years later, the show really grew on me, especially season 2. One of KyoAni's better shows out there. So in short: I'm really looking forward on this next installment, movie OR series, although I'd prefer another season. On a side note, hopefully they give K-On another go as well. The amount of quality they poured in into such an average adaption a.k.a. the manga version, was and is astonishing. |

| It's not the worst thing KyoAni could be doing, but it's far from the best... Still I prefer this over the pandering anime they've done a lot of since the golden age ended with Hyouka. |

El_Caguai said: @shanimebib @caio_brb while she is president of the student council at least she could have Reina by her side, and her own cute girls harem. I dunno where you got that information from but Kumiko did NOT become the student council president. She is not capable of handling such a demanding role to begin with as someone who easily crumbles to pressure. caio_brb said: Oh, that will indeed happen. There's only two or three boys on the club. lol Not a lot of boys but it's not just 2 or 3 boys either. While the complete list of the first years to join the brass band in Kumiko's Year 3 is not revealed yet, (not that I am aware of) here is the current list: Third Year (2): Tsukamoto Shuuichi, Takizawa Chikao Second Year (7): Tsukinaga Motomu, Maeda Aota, Maeda Sosuke, Kitayama Tairu, Takami Surugu, Endo Tadashi, Suzuki Seiya |

I only could think of 3. Well, considering Gotou-senpai and Takino-senpai graduated, the only 3 expected to come up in the actual story/ conversations are Shuuichi, his bud Chikao and the handful Motomu. So, I totally get you. I don't remember Takami got mentioned even though he is in Reina's group. |

| It is not surprising that many people think that it is yuri, really the adaptation worked too much in the relation of friendship of the girls in an exaggerated way. The interactions of the characters from the body language and subtle gestures in their way of acting is incredible the advanced emotional social communication that they possess , while with the guy never even bothered to build that up, if anything they went out of there way to establish that the two had 0 chemistry together. I really want them to change the end, it is not as if it was something strange or impossible, it has already happened with animes having original endings or modifiqued whole scenes (as demonstrated by the hero shield where the anime established him as a good person to the point that the whole scene of the last one chapter was totally contrary to the original), but I know of the author's insistence that they respect her story, but for the sake of the congruence the characters I would prefer that be no one ends up with anyone. |

| @FragileGlass Eupho is just another example of a good show, whose fandom mostly cares about ships than anything else. Which is especially funny, because even less deep and more moe-ish K-ON! more often mentioned outside the context of shiping than Eupho. |

| More Hibikek, hype. |

| More Kumiko. Hype! Also, fuck yurifag |

FragileGlass said: MemeRetro said: I'm not trolling, I really think it's a terrible show. Says the dude who has K-ON as a favorite show which is inferior compared to this series. Those two shows aren't even in the same genre, you can't compare them. |
| Eh, I don't see any new scenes in that trailer. Looks like it's going to be more like a summary movie for a theatrical release. Still better than a fucking Pachinko game. |
Vhailor said: Eh, I don't see any new scenes in that trailer. Umm, it just announced that Kumiko's third year is under production. Do you think they will be able to add clips from something that got a decision in no more than a week perhaps, heck maybe the decision was made after seeing the success of Chikai no Finale so it could be less than 48 hours. |

That's what happens when you don't read the OP, and are an illiterate when it comes to moonspeak. Thanks for clearing that up, mate. |
| @El_Caguai: Btw, if you got that spoiler~ish content from ANN, the writer had too much going on when they wrote that news article. First of all, they had a couple of names spelled incorrectly: the blatant one was Shuuichi's surname. Okay I give it to them as there is no Kana but surely the other name is not Maya (not with that Kanji). It should be either Mayu or Mayuu (the most common ones for her Kanji.) Secondly, the new girl Mayu is a third year transferee from SeiJo. She is not a first year as the news makes her to be (merging the line about the first years joining, the bane in translating Japanese is not being able to separate subjects from objects). This is what happens when you use google translator and search engines to write synopsis from a language you have no idea of. In other words: >>Garbage synopsis writer.<< |

Very well said! One of the reasons why I like Eupho so much is that the animation and direction is so RICH in conveying the complex intimacy between characters, whether platonic or romantic or something other (eg. Kumiko and Asuka). So the fact that in anime canon Kumiko BARELY has any of these interactions with Shuichi before the 3rd movie yet they're supposed to ultimately be a couple in the end?? I'm not buying it as anything other than forced and unnecessary... I completely invite KyoAni to change my mind but with how things are now, I really hope they deviate from the source material since it hasn't stopped them before (see: basically the entirety of Liz to Aoi Tori lol). I haven't watched the 3rd movie yet, though, so maybe KyoAni DID manage to completely justify KumiShui's relationship somehow without it being too OOC... but I digress. I look forward to this new anime adaption and I hope it'll be a TV season! |

I look forward to this new anime adaption and I hope it'll be a TV season! They didn't really deviate with Liz to Aoi, they just changed the POV of the story arc of Mizore and Nozomi to them, instead of Kumiko as it was in the original. And Kyoani already adapted Shuichi to be with Kumiko in Chikai no Finale, we already know that they get together in the movie and we see all the time of them together and then separating due to them wanting to focus on the club. As far as the third year, we don't know how anything end as the last novel will get out on june 22 but it's likely that she's going to end with Shuichi due to how everything was developed and made on the novel. With the anime, we'll have to wait and see but I would bet on that happening as well, considering that they also adapted Reina love for Taiki. |
| I say, is there going to be any music in this new installment? If the people at KyoAni read the discussion above they would drop all that ensemble stuff (which must be a pain to animate) and do only the shipping bits. |
 |
| Automatic Plan to watch list! |
 |
| All this fight in the comments about ships when you all could damn I don’t know... let people ship whoever they want (canon or not who cares) But yeah nice to see there’s gonna be a third season. Really expected the last movie to be the ending. |
