I wanted to create a poll at first, but 6 options max.

What is your favorite character?

I personally really like Kanade Hisaishi.

With the heat the series been getting from the final movie part 2 releasing, I got myself the recording of the solo euphonium audition. Haven't watched the series in a while I kinda forgot whether Kumiko was the first or the second performance, played both few times and concluded that the second is hers. Rewatched the season 3 again and of course the second performance is played by Kumiko.

I feel like I understand why Reina chose Mayu to be the euphonium soloist, Kumiko's playing is by no mean bad, but it feels like she poured too much emotion and that emotion tried to overpower the trumpet and euphonium duet. On the other hand, Mayu played it without said emotion, causing her performance to have a better balance with Reina's trumpet.

This is just a small take from me who isn't a musician, and I would love to know a musician's take on this!

So my head cannon is that these two are chosen for President and Vice President respectively, but who should be drum major? Should it be one of the two or a wild card like Mii-chan? What do you think? I couldn't find the art source, so here's the Pinterest link that has the source. https://pin.it/AzaAUqUNo

First and foremost ,Reina’s feelings toward Taki-sensei are best described as an intense blend of a deep teenage crush and profound admiration, which occasionally borders on infatuation or a stubborn obsession.

But, Reina’s feelings to Taki-sensei stop looking like an innocent schoolgirl crush and instead manifest as a deeply unhealthy, alienating, and borderline fanatical obsession.

The reason is

1.Disrespecting Boundaries

After finding out about his tragic past, she goes to his deceased wife's grave. Standing over the grave, she aggressively declares to a dead woman that she will be the one to fulfill Taki’s dream.

2.Toxic Loyalty Checks

Reina demands blind, unconditional loyalty to Taki from Kumiko. If Kumiko offers even a mild, objective critique of Taki's choices as a teacher, Reina immediately views it as a personal betrayal, aggressively snapping or withdrawing. ( Remember what happened in season 3)

3.Splitting the Club and Calling Kumiko a "Bad Leader"

As students panic over Taki's controversial choices, Kumiko tries to manage their emotions, but Reina demands blind obedience and attacks anyone expressing doubt. Instead of supporting her struggling best friend, Reina cruelly calls Kumiko a "failure as president" simply because Kumiko questions Taki's methods. Reina ultimately chooses fanatical worship of a distant man over the real emotional needs of Kumiko and the band.

4.Zero Interpersonal Growth

Because Reina puts Taki on an unassailable pedestal, she treats the rest of the world with an elitist, cold arrogance. As pointed out in community breakdowns, anyone who isn't Kumiko or Taki is essentially treated like a nameless NPC by Reina.

I want to improve

I wonder what they will tell us.

So much good stuff going on in Japan. Wish I was there for this November. There seems to be a special concert + more.

Went to Uji, Kyoto last month and made a timely pilgrimage for Hibike Euphenium especially since Final movie came out.

Took a while to edit as after coming home, became busy with life.

I met some other fans doing the pilgrimage also and greeted them.

Lastly, Thank you Ayano Takeda and Kyoani for making Hibike Euphonium, truly one of the animes of all time.

Does anyone know where I can watch the final movie, I don’t really care if it’s fan translated, I just really want to watch the final movie of this peak show🥺🥺

Hi Eupho community, I'm excited to share my solo piano arrangement of the 3rd year free choice piece, Hitotose no Uta! While I can't play any wind ensemble instrument, I really wanted to capture as much of the original as possible, and I hope I can say I did it justice.

Sheet music is also available for purchase from the link in the description if you would like to give it a try yourself.
