Hibike Euphonium is truly a struggle to watch as it is so boring, it didn't even appealed me to watch more than one ep but still I continued because many people said it was good but in the end, IT WAS BORING!

Sorry OP, I whole heartedly disagree. But let's unpack this:

For the record, I never cared about band in high school. The thought of playing any instrument except maybe drums and piano, never mind woodwinds or brass, bored me to death.

But this show? I love it. Yes, even though it's about a bunch of girls in band. What can I say? Its art and animation is stunning. The concert pieces are brilliant.

And I REALLY like the characters. They're super realistic and relatable. In most other high school slice-of-lifes, the girls are goddamn obnoxious. (Maybe you prefer an over-the-top anime with dramatic cast, in which case Hibike is not for you). But my high school sweetheart was a band geek and the spitting image of Kumiko. She even had similar "character development." Her friend and mentor went to a different school but looked and acted like Asuka. A lot of my Lao friends were similar to Hazuki and Sapphire.

I could go on, but my point is, as a slice-of-life, this whole series is a gem. And its crown jewel: Liz and the Blue Bird, an absolute masterpiece of a film that cannot be fully appreciated without watching the show first.

So I'd say don't give up man, but don't binge either. This is not a bingeable show. It's a slow burn, so watch a few episodes a week and enjoy.

uhmmm.. for me eupho is a masterpiece, oumae kumiko's character development is arguably one of the best thing in anime. plus the music and story is awesome. and my god the spin off movie liz and the blue bird is a masterpiece too.

Season two is worse. Seriously, Hibiki Euphonium 2 is literally the anime I've slept with in every episode I've seen.

What you said is meaningless. Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou is much slower than Hibike Euphonium and not boring; quite the contrary, it's too relaxing.
Hibike Euphonium is too boring, nothing is interesting, it's all so fuck it. The worst part is the half-assed drama of this anime.

Slice of Life is what I like the most, especially the Iyashikei. Most I've seen are not boring like Hibike Euphonium.

Make sure you also watch Liz and the Blue Bird movie since it happens after Hibike S2 ends and before the Chikai finale movie. Have a nice day.

Come to think of it, this show indeed was quite boring. I was watching it at 1.5x speed and skipping most of the conversations (just reading the subtitles), because on top of being slow-paced, it also was overly dramatic and full of tight, on-the-edge relationships. Perhaps it was intentional, but most of the female characters in this show have really bad personalities (at least they didn’t suit my taste, but whatever). On the other hand, since it is an anime about music, the OST is as good as expected — no complaints here.

Nevertheless, objectively speaking, if an anime didn’t suit my taste it doesn’t mean that it’s bad. Therefore, I gave it a high score despite all the aspects I didn’t like about it

To everyone saying that "you just don't like slice of life anime" you can not like a specific sol and still like the genre, looking at op's list there are plenty of sol's that he has rated highly.

Also, if it was so boring why did you give it a 7 & an 8?

I also avoid seeing what I find boring. I just explained that being boring doesn't exactly mean it's bad.

If he ranked 7, it means he's finding it good, but he's still finding it boring.

So if something is good then I just rate it 1.. sigh
Finding it boring is my personal perspective and finding it a good anime as well.
If its good I will rate it good, being boring is a different matter.. well bye

So you let others influence your opinion of an anime? So FMA is a great anime because others say so, even if you did not enjoy watching it? Then that's not your rating, it's what you think other people rate it.

So you have no reason for watching anything, you just choose a random anime and watch it? And then give it a random rating because you want to? I can't understand that kind of reasoning.

Also you did not explain why boring can be good, you just said that's how it is. And I disagree, since most people watch anime for entertainment. And no one gets entertained by being bored.

Do you have difficulty reading and reasoning something simple?
It's simple, I watch because I want to. If it interests me, I watch. Do I need to be expository to explain something obvious? Do I need more of a reason than just wanting to see something?
Seriously you don't know how to rate anime on this site? Just read what each number represents. You just select what you think of the anime, simple. I will be expository again:
No, I don't select a random number. I already explained that the site has a pattern, but you refused to understand.

On boring anime: There may be more interesting things in the script than just fun. Do you think every anime is for having fun and laughing?

That already answers everything. Spare me from having to explain something obvious again.

This why one shouldn't always trust people merely saying it's good. Ask them why they think it's good and if their reasons align with your taste.

Blame yourself instead of calling it boring.

Hey OP, it is your opinion and I respect it. In fact, I find people do take boring as an insult quite often, hell; some of my favourite animes can indeed get "boring" at times. K-on for example, one of my fave slice of lifes, watched both seasons, and even I can agree that some episodes, and quite possibly a majority of season 1 could get a bit boring. Despite that, I do think the slow burn paid off for the finale of season 2; the movies great too.

What I said exactly for K-on goes towards Hibike as well. Initially watching it for the first time, I was super interested in it specifically for the band aspect, as Im in band as well. Season 1 and 2 did keep me both very interested, but its the chikai no finale movie that did bore me; tho, Liz to aoi tori was a masterpiece.

But yea, looking back as I havent watched Hibike in a while, I can understand completely as to why perhaps some people could find Hibike boring.

Eh, I greatly enjoyed Hibike because it reminded me of my own experiences in band during high school, and also because I really liked Kumiko’s character development. But I can see why it’s not your cup of tea if you’re not really that interested in concert band.
