This show is still good.

Yeah, I just decided to pick this up a few days ago and having caught up with all the episodes I'm pretty pleased with it, the teacher is awesome and the characters are pretty fun. :)

I thought it was Kumiko's old friend? Does he play the trombone? I'm still matching people to instruments.

Yes, he is and yes he does.

That's because you didn't notice it, not because teenage girls are not insecure about it. And it goes both ways, if the girl is really stacked, she worries all the time about looking like a slut and so on. Perfect boobs? well, let me worry about my tight gap.

Hmmm, sounds like BS to me. I mean if women actually worried about the size of their chests there would be some sort of medical procedure to do something about it.

Wow, what a great ending scene. As someone who left high brass for low, the parts can seem a bit lame when played by themselves.

Yeah, I think it applies to any instrument but for ones like that it's especially true. Doing almost any activity alone that is set up for a group is less fun than doing it with the group so giving her a taste of the payoff for all that solo practice was a really good way of getting her to commit to the whole thing.

Also really liked Goto's impassioned speech about why the Tuba is great, "It's great because it sucks and is hard!" it does not sound right but I get what he means. :lol:

I think the social dynamics amongst the band members are one of the most interesting things in the show. This episode added to that a lot. (Last episode was rather weak in my mind because I was worried that that aspect was going away.) Now I understand why there is resentment over Kousaka potentially going for the solo trumpet role, given Kaori's efforts last year, when before it just read as jealousy. Also we know what Natsuki's deal is, now.

I'm perfectly fine with Midori never getting an episode. Something like Shirobako already shows that really they don't need to particularly focus on the 'main group' at all.

Agreed, I really enjoyed the episode. It was good to see some of the stuff under the surface come boiling out, the president's frustration and lack of confidence in herself, the tensions between the first, second and third years and so on. If the show just concentrated on the main cast it would be a poorer show.

Still, my favorite part was probably that utterly incredulous "Wha..?" at the end, like you could hear the thought of "Me? Him? What the gently caress?!" just from the tone used with that line, I immediately burst out laughing.

That was a pretty great episode, lots of good character development. I really love the animation here, especially how you can see the emotions flitting across each character's face both clearly and subtly, it's like an entire second track of dialogue.

I was going to say that Euphonium was the first original KyoAni story that they seem to have gotten right, but nope it's based on a novel/manga/whatever. Regardless I like this show and don't think it really matters who if any the main character ends up with.

It's based on a novel, and not a light novel, just a regular one.
