| I understand that the metaphorical portrayal of the school orchestra cast as an all-female school was intentional and that KyoAni initially promoted this as an all-female show, but I still find it funny that none of the new characters are male. |

| I'm gonna really miss Minami girls (Mizore, Nozomi, Yuko and Natsuki) after their graduation :( That was really terrible poster ngl. Who thought fitting as many new faces as possible in one frame was a good idea lol. Kumiko in the middle should have been enough there.

It's just that the assemble cast consisting more girls with very few boys in there.I understand that the metaphorical portrayal of the school orchestra cast as an all-female school was intentional and that KyoAni initially promoted this as an all-female show, but I still find it funny that none of the new characters are male. |

| @VivaceRex I know, that’s why I never said that they have a girls’ school, but said about the “metaphorical image”. This is a manifestation of the author's idea that school orchestras are primarily female spaces and that the friendships formed there are quite similar to Class S. Plus, KyoAni was clearly always intentional about selling this as an all-female franchise, something Yamada never really hid, although she didn't exactly say it literally. This is the fallout from the last couple of films. Although the author conceived the story as “Kumiko’s journey through meeting various important people,” at some point the Kyoto team decided that the franchise must definitely focus on the entire ensemble. |
