Anyway it doesn't super matter whether it's 55 or 49 or whatever.

I thought her lamentations were more about the lack of progress the band made in her years there. She might have had high hopes of competing only to find that two years later, it's the same as it ever was.

Having a status quo is probably better than having your overall band deteriorate over the years as the people who gave a poo poo graduated leaving you behind with a bunch of people that are just there for an easy grade. Yeah, I'm pretty bitter about concert band.

It makes her vote into more of a "let's just acknowledge what's been going on all along" sort of affair. I like that interpretation of her much better.

I know that feeling. My junior and high school Years were spent in a smallish community, and my school only had like ~300 students. By the time i was in grade 11, the band across all 3 grades only had about 14-18 people who would show up regularly, and they were god awful compared to the summer camp cadet marching bands I was in for a few years. It was painful and I quit playing for a few years because of that.

Unlike BBB or Ore Monogatari, there's nothing spectacular about this show, but it's just so drat solid that there's pretty much nothing bad I can say about it except that maybe some people won't really care about it because it's not their thing.

Air's the only one that doesn't fit that formula where it still ends up being pretty bittersweet despite how magic improved things by a fair margin. I still like Kyoto's Key stuff though even if it does end up relying on Deus Ex Machina a lot.

Meanwhile something as grounded as 'all your dreams are crumbling into dust because your classmates can't be bothered' hits much closer to home. I feel like a pattern is emerging these days: anime adapted from novels (not light novels) are actually good. Well, Eccentric Family, Shinsekai Yori, and Tatami Galaxy fit the pattern anyway.

Seriously, that was some spectacular cinematography. Shows adapted from novels are often good, but this series's strengths aren't just from the source material.

Its KyoAni, anyone doing anything on one of their shows has probably worked on nearly all their other shows as long as they were working there at the time. In this case the series director of Euphonium didn't work on Hyouka at all, though. But yeah, just look at any KyoAni staff member's credits lists and it becomes pretty clear why there are a lot of crossover traits among their key directors and animators: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=9087 http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=39705 http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=76915

Tatsuya Ishihara Just for reference with this episode, the episode director also storyboarded it and has mostly done Key Animation for a bunch of KyoAni series.

Good episode. I honestly can't imagine a high school band of any size - or really any group of, say, 20+ teenagers - functioning without proper direction. That teacher is way too laissez-faire. "You're bad. Fix that within a week. Bye!" I guess it's the difference between a club and a class. Why are these lazy kids in band if they aren't getting a grade/PE credit for it, anyway?

Their band desperately needs to either purge the bad members or realize that they're ok with being poo poo and just have fun.

Why are these lazy kids in band if they aren't getting a grade/PE credit for it, anyway? Over here in Australia concert band is strictly co-curricular but you still get those people that just don't care/don't want to work, especially if the conductor isn't strict enough. The really lazy ones tend to drop out early, but a lot stay for the social aspect/peer or parent pressure. There are also a lot of cases where people do like music but are just a bit too lazy to put enough effort into it.

Maybe someone can answer this (maybe it's a cultural thing): do high school students (in Japan) who are relatively serious about music not buy their own instruments and practice at home? Pretty much my entire high school band had access to instruments to take home, if they didn't outright own their instrument. Just being somewhat serious about music, it makes sense to have an instrument to practice on. It could be a cultural thing though? Maybe?

It's dependent on whether or not you can afford the instruments. Basically no one in my high school owned their instruments, they practiced at school if they wanted to

I wonder if they're going to try and get back the 2nd years that quit previously? Although they'd probably just see the horn section dicking around again instead of practising and storm off with a "See! Nothing's changed!" to be fair.
