C'mon man that's practically mainstream now, it's not hot unless it's literally illegal.

no one is going to get together with anybody because that's actually illegal to depict in a anime that's not specifically a romance.



might as fuckin well be anyway

Depressingly enough the only thing I can think of where this isn't true is Akame Ga Kill. And predictably that doesn't end well.

I guess the end of some Tomino stuff but there's never any actual romance.

define 'specifically a romance,' because people are so weird about anime genres that once something has explicit romance it gets labelled one

like, gurren lagann totally has tons of romantic elements and makes a big thematic point about it, but would you call it a 'romance' anime? and i mean, the only couple that's together at the end are dayakka and kittan's sister,

The main couple in Steins;Gate are pretty clearly together by the end (especially if you count the OVA, and you should count the OVA for everything, because holy poo poo that customs scene), and it would be hard to call their romance the A-plot even if it is important.

unfortunately, this is also from a country where depictions of heterosexual Student-Teacher romance are still slightly more tasteful and acceptable than homosexual romance between students if for no other reason than the former has been around longer.

The second auditions in front of a bunch people sounds really hosed up and stupid. An experienced conductor should pick his parts, not a bunch of teens.

By the way, even if I'm disappointed they didn't go with the Reina/Kumiko pairing, I do not mind the senseicrush at all. Lots of schoolgirls have crushes on men who are their senior. What I would mind is if they actually ended up in a relationship (please don't do this Kyoani).

It could be very interesting f done well, but you're kidding yourself if anyone, straight, gay, illegal or otherwise even express shared interest in one another in this show.

Having the band vote is mostly dumb, but the auditions in front of the band makes sense, especially for high profile chairs and solos. It's a straightforward way to weed out the people who get nervous performing for an audience, which, you know, is the ultimate goal of a band.

I hope they make it a blind audition (ie. They play behind a curtain and the students can't tell who's playing)

I've never seen this happen. But I've never seen a band vote thingy.

Besides, the band members who actually know/care can tell who's playing without seeing them anyways.

The situation here is a bit different tho since people are freaking out over favoritism and the senpai is more popular by far too. Blame bow girl imo.

Believe in the power of nakamamusic. Reina's gonna be swimming in pussy after dismantling this challenge.

But yes, bow girl should be blamed for everything, most importantly, for sucking at trumpet.

Bow Girl = Yoshikawa Yuuko, one of the 5 trumpets that made it. She's cranky because she doesn't get to grind all over Kaori's dick since Kaori didn't get the solo part.

Even though i'm still annoyed (with myself) for thinking that a mainstream kyoani anime would have a straightforward and confirmed gay couple in one of their shows it turns out that Sound! Euphonium is still a pretty great little bit of storytelling. All the characters are interesting and i like watching them interact with each other, even the ones that are jerks.


anyway here's some gifs i found.
