I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

The OVA was good. I'm glad they validated my Tuba Code of Conduct joke in the OP :v:

Brass players do weird things like carry stuff for each other. Never understood that.

I don't think brass players are true friends until they stick their mouthpiece into each others' instruments and play/try playing.

If they wanted to drive home the whole "fellowship over romance" thing they would have done this, and it would have been way more awesome than seeing the anim girls kiss.

I wonder if that would have meant the same thing to non-band people as it does to us with instruments.

Finally got around to watching the OVA. It's good, but not great. I don't like the Kumiko-Shuuichi shipping that her friends do. Natsuki was super cute.

All of which is fine. But there was nothing here we didn't already know.

I finally got around to watching this after seeing it pop up on so many AOTY lists.

I love those moments in KyoAni shows where you get flickers that reveal a character's depth. And they sometimes literally are flickers - quick edits that show an expression easily missed, or something said under the breath as a character walks out of the room. Satoshi in Hyouka became such an interesting character by the end of that show because of the insecurities and jealousy he expressed in little asides.

Amagi Brilliant Park largely lacked that character depth, so I'm glad to see Hibike! Euphonium is full of it. With best girl Asuka especially.

That said, KyoAni, do the right thing. Reina and Kumiko's relationship is more romantic than any explicitly romantic relationship in anime this year. The visual language of this show is saying they are falling in love. But that probably won't become an actual thing.

The show is still great regardless. Really good voice acting, and that's not something that normally jumps out.

There was an interview with the series director where she very frankly rebuffed the idea that there's anything romantic between Kumiko and Reina here

Interview posted:

Oguro: After episode 8 huh? It’s not yuri, but they’re tied together with a red string so…
Yamada: So they’re tied. (laughs)
Oguro: When you drew them, you felt they’d understand as the story progressed.
Yamada: Of course. Since it’s something you don’t see in the first half, it might appear to be something suggestive in the ending with no real meaning.
Oguro: Did you possibly think that it could be seen as yuri and playing to the viewers with no relationship to the main story?
Yamada: I thought it might, but I felt “Well, that’s okay. They’ll understand later.” (laughs)

They won't kiss
