    [PokeCommunity.com] Hibike! Euphonium


    Hibike! Euphonium begins when Kumiko Oumae, a girl who was in the brass band club in junior high school, visits her high school's brass band club as a first year. Kumiko's classmates Hazuki and Sapphire decide to join the club, but Kumiko sees her old classmate Reina there and hesitates. She remembers an incident she had with Reina at a brass band club contest in junior high school.

    PV:

    First impression: It'll be K-On...with a brass band instead.
    Second impression after seeing the PV: ...Trippy. I smell some yuri undertones.
    Third impression after watching the first episode: THIS IS SO ADORABLE. I LOVE IT. I LOVE IT. I LOVE IT.

    Is anyone else watching this wonderful little piece of KyoAni bliss? If so, who is your favorite character, and what are your first impressions?
     
    I'll give it a shot today. If only for KyoAni. If it turns out to be in line with something like Nodame Cantabile, I'm game. But if it turns out to be anything like K-On! then...yeah, probably not. :p
     
    i'm watching it! it is a LOT like K-ON, especially the OP. the way the characters are introduced is practically identical - but at least now we know what we're getting ourselves into.

    i still find it fun enough to watch though, so i'll probably see it through to the end unless it becomes too cringeworthy in any way.
    my favourite character so far is Kumiko, but that's mainly because all other characters are still 'stereotypes' for the moment to me. my opinion may change once we get to know everyone better though. c:
     
    I will be watching this in the weekend. Seems like KyoAni won't disappoint me!
     
    I believe this actually has some drama so I'm not expecting it to be a full on K-On clone.

    Not that K-On is bad,
     
    Maybe because I really loved K-On but I didn't really get the same vibes from this as I did, probably because I don't like the main characters as much as I did there and there's no comedy really. Guess I'll keep watching

    The 'fake hand' scene made me laugh hard. Good start, Kenchiin's sign of approval!

    Another lovely episode

    Spoiler:


    Asuka Langley best girl.
     
    The first episode brings back memories of when I first picked up trombone when they were trying to play using the mouthpiece.

    Alright, I might start liking the teacher a little bit.

    Spoiler:
     
    This is one of my favourites this season, Kumiko is a great MC and I love the way the story has progressed. I know everybody was joking that it's just K-On with brass but I was quite pleasantly surprised to see an actual storyline and nicely done drama. It's overall just incredibly solid and enjoyable.

    Also I love the ED.
     
    ...not really.

    In appearance sure, otherwise I don't see the similarities at all. I think people are too quick to compare it to K-On, but I guess it can't be helped considering the initial setting is very much the same.
