Hibike! Euphonium

It's just another moe series like K-ON but with different instruments. 

musical slice of life that follows the members of a school club and their daily life rehearsing and making music 

Both are about cute high school girls that join a club/band and play music together. K-On! is more rock/pop music and Hibike! Euphonium is about brass instruments and band in general. 

Both are similar, except Euphonium is more focused on music, and is more serious and drama-focused. Also, both were made by Kyoani to begin with. 

It's really similiar, and both are with cute girls making music. 

Both are made by the same studio (Kyoto Animation) and focus on musical themes, plus have similar-looking characters (Kotobuki and Sapphire). While Hibike is more history-focused, K-On slighly focuses on comedy elements. 

Hibike! Euphonium is like K-On but it takes itself seriously. 

Everyday lives anime series with moe blobs which is much of the time very relaxing but can change tone at times. In either of this series a girl with/without previous experience decides to join a music club. These clubs try to aim high with their music but K-on!! aim lower than Hibike and K-on is more of a relaxing school life series. 

Similar Setting but in a Different plot. Maybe a Another Moe Show but Opposite Instruments. 

If you like cute girls doing cute things, these are the anime for you. Both made by KyoAni and have a group of (mainly) girls playing instruments, striving for success. Main difference is the amount of people in their bands, but regardless the same premise remains in the story. 

High School girls in somewhat dysfunctional after-school music clubs. - Brown-haired protagonist? Check. - Beautiful and musically talented girl with straight black hair? Check. - Boisterous boke - check. - Blonde girl with short, round eyebrows - check. - Quirky, glasses-lady authority figure - check. - Gorgeous KyoAni visuals - check. - Anime about music and how it can bring different people together - checkmate. 

It have the same air, the same spirit. Also the same studio make it. It doesn't have the same focus in a band or how the band members grow with the music, but have the frindship and relations into a music club. I think that if you are one of those fans who want a third season of K-ON you have to see this anime, so you can control your mind... 

Just like K-on!, but it takes itself seriously. -Both have music -Both are about high school girls that join a club/band -Hibike! is about brass instruments (pretty cool actually) and K-on! rock/pop music -In both makes you cheer for them -Both are made by the same studio (Kyoto Animation) If you like one you will definitely like the other 

This recommendation is probably made quite a lot, so much, in fact, that you might be surprised to hear that the two are actually pretty different. They are made by the same studio and both have to do with High Schoolers in bands—of two different sorts,—and aside from a similar aesthetic, this is about it. These reasons, however, are enough to make them go quite well together. Hibike! Euphonium focuses more on the music side of things, I find; you see a lot more into the technicals of music than you would in K-ON! (though it's never boring). The characters in Hibike! Euphonium are great and I love the interactions that happen between them, but they are not quite as deep the five (or four, depending on the season) of K-ON!(!). K-ON!, however, circles almost entirely around the interactions between its main characters. As you watch it, you form your own relationship with this group, whereas with Hibike! Euphonium you are more like a wallflower, as is the case with most shows, I find. Regardless, both of these anime are great and I think that if you enjoy one, you'll enjoy the other. Cheers! read more 

By the same studio, with the same high-quality animation, Hibike! Euphonium features classic upbeat music to that of K-on! and still having a fantastic storyline between friends. Filled with character development and cute antics of the band. 

The series both have a group of girls who are a part of a music club in their high schools. Both shows follow the girls as they live their school lives and practice to perform at a concert. You'll probably like both the series if you enjoy watching slice of life and music themed anime. 

It's slice of life with kawaii moe girls. Who doesn't love it? It's comedic, and it has a great background art style~ It's literally K-ON! 2.0 but now with orchestra. 

Both of the anime got similarities about music. The difference is K-ON! is more into fun, comedy, and everyday life while Hibike! Euphonoum is more serious because the team is aiming for National Contest but also got kind if slice of life problem, but aside from that... both of the anime got great story in it. Since it's about music, the different is K-ON! music type is Light Music (Guitar, Drum, Bass, Keyboard), while Hibike! Euphonium music type is orchestra (Trumpet, Saxophone, Euphonium, Percussion, Oboe, etc) 

group of cute girls being cute and playing music 

K-on sure is one of my favorite anime. For those who like a good comedy with cool songs, this is the best, as I see it. Regarding Hibike, the same is also a musical anime, has comedy and similar story with girls who enter a music club. 

Both shows are made by the same studio. Both shows are Cute Gils doing Cute Things, with the focus on music.  

Someone wrote this. I agree definitely ''I think that if you are one of those fans who want a third season of K-ON you have to see this anime, so you can control your mind...'' 

Although nothing can compare to the masterpiece that is K-on!, Hibike! Euphonium is a very good show. Both shows share the same premise of being centered around music. Hibike! Euphonium differs from K-on! slightly in a few subtle ways. Firstly, the music in HE is orchestral music whereas K-on! is more casual rock/pop music. The other difference between the two is that HE has more in terms of drama than K-on! HE also has more music in the show. Often times it felt as though in K-on! there would be music every few episodes or so. All the other episodes would focus on whatever whacky situations the characters would get themselves into. The music in Hibike! Euphonium is more a central focus than in K-on! Overall I enjoyed both of these shows and would recommend watching either of them. read more 

While Sound! Euphonium is more serious and drama-driven, and is dealing with deeper themes, K-On! has more comedy, but both are character driven stories about high school moe girls doing what they love and enjoying their high school years even if those club activities will no longer be relevant when they graduate. Kyoto Animation did an incredible job on both series, both are near perfect masterpieces in there own right and while Sound! Euphonium impacted me on a deep personal level and changed my life, K-On! is without a doubt the most enjoyable show I've had the pleasure to experience. 

Early in Sound! Euphonium's season, their advisor asks the band what they want to achieve for the year. a) If they chose to enter and compete in Japan's national competition, Sound! Euphonium tells their story. b) If they chose to play casually and enjoy each others' company, it will be pretty much K-On! 

More music but with pianos and violins. The story line is great and the graphics top notch 

Beautiful animes about music, friendships, hardships and different emotions. Both are stunning series that you will enjoy even if you have no knowledge of music.  

If you like the classic "romance, school, music, drama" genre combination (aka my favorite combo of genres) then you'll for sure love this anime. Both animes do a great job of expressing raw emotion, and Hibike does a fantastic job highlighting each individual character in their own respective ways to the extent where you can't help but feel emotionally attached to them all. Not to mention, much like Your Lie in April, the animation with Hibike! is top notch, if not better (which is quite the statement with how beautiful the animation in Your Lie in April was!). If you're ready for another feels train, this is the perfect anime to get into. It strays away from the piano and violin that we are use to with YLIA, and instead highlights a new blend of instruments such as the Trombone, the Trumpet, the Oboe, and of course, the Euphonium (and more!). So if you enjoyed Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso, I definitely know that you will love Hibike! Euphonium! I just can't recommend it enough! read more 

Students Playing a Piano and Violin VS Students Playing in a School Band 10/10 

both of these anime are musical materpieces, featuring great graphics, moving ost, decent story (both are pretty character driven, your lie in april moreso than h!e), and some romance (don't try to tell me that kumiko and reina are not in love.). hibike is a lot less tragic and a little faster paced than your lie in april 

Same genres and almost same story. In Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso story revolves around a boy that play Piano very good but left it midway. And now his friend trying to get him back playing piano. In Hibike! Euphonium? story revolves around a girl who plays Euphonium very good and joins good for nothing concert band of a school,now she and her companion target goals to perform at nationals,Can they do it? 

Extracurricular school activities the same theme.By then participating in the school or outside school. So when a race or competition, namely: 1. Championships 2. Achievements 3. Focus 4. Hard Business 5. Struggle 6. Set the Balance 

Hibike! Euphorium's theme is similar to Shigatsu's, but it's much better executed in animation, musical consistency, story and character development. Plot: Whilst Shigatsu's plot always stays centered in Kousei, with much of it mopping over the same very particular issue; Hibike's story deals with more approachable day-to-day circumstances spread over several members of the group, while still focusing the main character's POV. The pace is much better, with problems quickly getting acted on (or, purposely, not) as soon as the audience is aware of them. Characters: Whist Shigatsu, once again, tends to develop around Kousei (and Kaori in the last episode), Hibike's story jumps development from character to character, with the main character's development being almost a side-story to those. Sound: Hibike is so, but so much better in this stage. Unlike the constantly interrupted by monologue pieces of Shigatsu, Hibike's performances flow much better with the story. There are actually moments when having your eyes open is optional. Another point that I liked is that while Shigatsu constantly shows the reaction of the audience, with the usual "WOOOAAHH!!11!", Hibike shows the performance. No need for anyone to tell you how to feel, you will simply know. read more 

High school students performing classical music With romance (subtle in Hibike!) sprinkled over as a cherry on top. 

Music and relationships. Deep character development and interactions. 

Music anime with great characters and compelling but relatively minor drama. Fleshed out characters with realistic and funny female main character. Highly enjoyable feel good show. 

Both are slice-of-life shows involving similar themes of self-discovery and dealing with interpersonal relationships 

Young girls working together toward a shared goal. Excellent mix of warm comedy and heartfelt drama. Layered characters. 

There are girls. It’s about them pursuing their dreams and achieving their goals. The shows give off the same good vibes that make you want to go and do something with your life. Have dreams and state your goals too. Be active. And they’re both amazing. 

Cute girls accomplishing their dreams together, bit of drama 

Hibike! Euphonium and Sora yori mo Tooi Basho both focus on a group's dreams to achieve something big together. The Pacing of both shows feel very similar as well, where one or multiple people find a "push" to put themselves into a scenario they would've otherwise avoided for fear of failure or embarrassment. However, be aware that Hibike! Euphonium is definitely more focused on drama than wholesome moments between friends. 

- Both have strong casts - Both have casts that are very realistic in their struggles and in their own characteristics - Realistic takes on overcoming your own struggles - In their essence, both are very motivational series - Similar main character progression - Linear progression - Both have stunning visuals - Both have great soundtracks 

Hibike! and A Place Further than the Universe are both stories about students trying to find who they are and do something extraordinary. While Hibike! is more dramatic yet subdued since it revolves around a common high school club, the concert band; it is still a story about people coming together to try and do something they believe is worthwhile. It is about the struggles they all have, both in the interactions with those around them, and within themselves. If the characters and their personal growth was the main draw of the series instead of the premise of an adventure, then Hibike! should also resonate with you.  read more 

On the surface, both shows look like a regular CGDCT anime like any other. But in reality, Sound! Euphonium and A Place Further than the Universe are coming-of-age life-changing stories about overcoming our fears of failure or embarrassment and just doing what we always wanted to do and love, to prove to the world, but most importantly to ourself, that it's possible. There is no fantasy element, no real romance, just a beautiful and yet terrifying adventure of growing up and overcoming our own personal struggles while trying to achieve what we thought was impossible.  

In both series you see how the band/groupmates grew learning from each other. Both are music animes where the characters want to achieve to be in the top of Japan. They have a lot of details in their respective direction that make the story even more special. Both are fill with the emotions of the characters that have charming and youthful personalities. 

-Both have the music as a theme, but they gonna give you drama as well. -The rivarly is a strongness for both series as well. -The characters develop their friendship and teamwork as long as the series goes. 

Both have the music as the main theme, but also both have drama that the characters are gonna face. Both series has as well the rivalry to be the best of your passion as some of the topics. The characters have charming personalities and the story in both series has comedy that will make the plot more enjoyable. The teamwork is also another topic that both series have in common. 

Both animes revolves around music, the relationships in both animes gonna develop showing how the team work can help you sometimes to reach your goals in life. Both series have huge amazing cast, but it's gonna focus in some characters more. 

Even when one of the main focus is the music, both shows take their time to explore the characters, in a dramatic way the animes give them a development that its pleasent to see, in the music aspect both "main groups" have to learn to work together to have success in their respective goals. 

Idolish7 and Hibike are basically the same anime but in different contexts, both are about the team/group of musicians/idols reaching their dreams and how hard it can be, but also most of the characters have different hiden backstories and struggles that have to be solved. Regardless Hibike cast have mostly young women, and Idolish7's one is mostly adult men, they are pretty pretty similar. 

these two are one of the very few school setting animez which focus more on the "senpai-kouhai" understanding. if u liked the asuka-kumiko relation, you'll probably like the takezo-chika relation too. just give these two a watch and you'll notice the great similarities 

The music and training and goal of nationals are very similar! Although I like this show better  

so I'll keep this one short.. Music, music club striving for nationals while bounding together more and more throughout the series 

-A club that aims to go for the nationals and fight for being the best are in both -Occasional feuds between members, and just enough drama to keep it running -Staged performances with flying tensions and anticipation are there too  

Both series of characters have drama elements that play a big role in why they're playing and decided to become a part of the music club.  

"Hibike! Euphonium and Kono Oto Tomare! are both school-themed anime shows centered around music. They show how the characters grow and change as they pursue their musical interests. These shows blend teenage drama, humor, and funny moments. In Hibike! Euphonium, Kumiko and her friends, like Takezou and his new club members in Kono Oto Tomare!, spend time together working towards a common goal related to music. Through these school activities, they become close friends and build strong bonds. 

Although on the surface they may seem to be relatively simple in terms of plot, Haikyuu!! and Hibike! Euphonium both have a drama aspect that is cleverly integrated. This is sometimes done through flashbacks into events that occurred in the past; other times, this is done through tensions among the main characters and/or their teammates. Both also have a similar premise - a group of high school students striving to achieve some distant goal (in Haikyuu!!, it's advancing through a tournament; in Hibike!, it's becoming the best band in the prefecture). The obvious difference, however, is Hibike! is about a band; Haikyuu!! is about a volleyball team. But don't let this deter you, as both shows are nonetheless enjoyable to watch. read more 

For those of you wondering why instruments and volleyball are being related, hear me out. Both are set in high school but mainly focus on the character's after curriculars Both have a strong focus on characters and character interaction Both have a huge cast of memorable characters but both focus on a select 2 or 3 (2 for haikyuu and 3 for Euphonium) If you've seen at least one of these I highly recommend the other. You don't have to be into volleyball to enjoy haikyuu because I wasn't (though some music knowledge may be required to enjoy euphonium). 

The cast of both series struggle in order to win a competition, and they show the obstacles and improvements that they have as they advance. I found Hibike better because it feels more realistic, besides having better animation and soundtrack. 

They both focus on a group of first-years who enrolled in a school and joined a certain club (band, volleyball). There had been some drama between the senior club members so the clubs are not as strong as they could be. The shows both focus on teamwork and you learn a lot about the topic(s) of the show(s). It also deals with competitions and bringing a club back on to its feet again. Also, Kageyama and Reina are kind of similar. 

These are both coming-of-age tales about people making music together, with more interesting characters and authentic stories than your average anime set in high school. 

Likes music? Knows a thing or two about musical composition? If you're a fan of coming-of-age themes, with music and storyline entwined with the characters, involving and dynamic character development, then these two anime are for you. 

similar plot and concept if you like one, you will like the other. 

Both anime are about the lives of cute girls and involve music. Hibike! Euphonium is more of a slice-of-life anime while So Ra No Wo To is a bit more serious with military elements. Also, both protagonists play brass instruments. 

"Sounds resonate, and reach out". Enchanted by the magical sound of Trumpet, both Kumiko and Katana each bring out an emotional and beautiful story as they struggle through hardships in life, powered at their core by their unwavering love for Brass instruments. With a strikingly similar setting yet so different, with stories so aligned yet also so apart, but both bringing home a wonderful yet tearful ending, watching "Sound of the Sky" is a strong recommendation for any Hibike-lover out there. 

Hibike! Euphonium and So Ra No Wo To are shows that are heavily centered around music. Both shows try to balance an atmosphere that is both dark (whether through drama or the setting of the show) and light-hearted (which is usually accomplished in both shows through the interactions of the main characters with each other) and does so surprisingly well. They also both take a slice-of-life approach centering primarily around the main characters and their daily tasks. Artwork is pretty similar too in both shows, with the background setting colorfully illustrated and beautifully animated. 

- They are both anime about music, which are both very good, too. - Also have a good character development. - have main characters that join a music contest. 

Both anime are a good anime about music. Nodame Cantabile is about orchestra and hibike euphonium is about brass band. Both anime tell you about wonderfulness of friendship, and how hard effort won't lie to you. the difference is nodame cantabile focus on main character romance story whereas hibike euphonium focus on friendship and trust. 

Both have a realistic protrayal of orchestral music, young professional musicians and their career planning, and most importantly about musicians in search of their own style. Both have a large ensemble of different musician personalities and romance (only hinted on in Euphonium, though). Nodame is more comedic, and features college students. Euphonium has more focus on drama and it's protagonists are high-schoolers. Both feature long concert sequences of classical music. 

Hibike! Euphonium and Revue Starlight may have pretty different premises, but they both actually seem to be more alike than they are different. They both have great music, wonderfully animated and beautiful scenes, and revolve around a semi-large cast of mostly female characters all working towards a tangible goal. In Starlight, this goal is to be top star which drives the characters to compete against each other, while in Euphonium, this goal is gold at the band competition which drives the characters to seek to work together, but overall the feel of each of the characters striving with all their might to improve feels largely the same. Each character is dynamic and work with the other characters in different ways, and the main lead's closest "friend" in both works (Hikari in starlight and Reina in Ephonium) drive the main lead forward in very similar ways. Overall, if you liked either one of these series, I highly recommend you check the other one out!  read more 

Relationship between two main character. but they have same dream and keep promise to reach that. in hibike case the dream is national competition and in starlight case is to be top star in same stage. Appearance of Reina and Hikari made Kumiko and Karen realize their dream and want to improve or be better. 

Although both revolve around various concepts (musical in "Sound! Euphonium" while theatrical in "Revue Starlight"), they are, however, similar nonetheless as the two reflect the same premise about a young girl wanting to become a star. For me, the character dynamics are the same; Karen from "Revue Starlight" is essentially Kumiko from "Sound! Euphonium" while "Hikari" from "Revue Starlight" is basically "Reina" from "Sound! Euphonium." To simply put, it focuses on the relationship between a cheerful type (deredere) and a cold type (kuudere). With all that said, if you enjoyed either, then I am sure you will love the latter too! 

Although one of them is about a music club and the other is about a club that solves mysteries, both shows deal with common themes that affect high school kids (talent, jealousy, hard work). The main characters are also kind of similar in that they don't like getting involved in certain things. Both of them are also done by the same studio so they have similar character designs and they both have a lot of romantic relationship building without any progress (if you're into that thing). Sound Euphonium is a lot like K-on! at first, but later on it becomes similar to the festival arc of Hyouka.  read more 

They're both from KyoAni. The atmosphere is pretty similiar too. You know the one that makes your head goes "Ahh, it must be based from a novel!". Both animation is real high quality, I mean c'mon, it's KYOANI. And I do think Kumiko and Oreki character are similiar in some ways. Just try to watch it, if you like one of the show, you won't regret watching the other. 

They basically have same vibes on the topic between reality and dream so thereafter growing up. They have same phrase like: everyone is pretending to be someone more morally correct,or one will harm oneself and others. And same more 'realistic' plot and traits,such as confusing romance,machiavellianism. 

Both are animes about teenagers playing classic music in a school club. Both have romance and drama.  

You could say Haruchika is a rather immature (ie. uneven, thus far) combination of BOTH Hyouka and Hibike! Euphonium: mystery-solving character drama involving a brass band club. 

Both anime revolves around orchestra music and trying to get into the competition. There are dramas between friends and teachers as they become a better group together. 

Both shows manage to bring to life a very broad cast of characters focusing to achieve a single goal. At the end of both shows we know who everyone is, what is their line of work/instrument and roughly what their personality is like (especially with Shirobako). 

Both series are about a group of characters (most of them are girls) pursuing the same goal. Couples of characters in both shows grow from setbacks and find their own reason to keep enthusiastic about the hobby/work, which is inspirational to the person who has low motivation to work in real life. Beside chasing for dreams, both animes also show how the characters resolve contradictions between each other and make the collective harmonious. 

Cute girls playing band instruments & cute girls (and middle-aged adults) making anime? What's not to love! Hibike! Euphonium and Shirobako focus on their MCs journeys of self-discovery and regaining their lost passion. These two uplifting slice of life shows also feature large & well-developed supporting casts, who add laughs, drama and heartfelt moments that highlight how much our main girls have grown by the end of each series. 

If you liked the musical charm of Hibike! Euphonium, check out Love Live! School Idol Project for the same kind of look into a different genre of music. If you liked the mostly-girls cast, Love Live has a main cast of 9 girls that are all quite interesting a lovable. The touch of yuri from Hibike! is present in Love Live! as well. If you liked the gorgeous animation, well, Love Live has the same kind. 

The characters show a love for music, it has pretty much the same plot, just that the anime is about idols and singing instead of orchestras. I've only watched one episode, but it seems good so far. I've played one of the games, and watched some clips, songs and fan videos. Hibike! Euphonium includes a lot of training and practice, and I think it's message is if you work hard, it will pay off, and I think Love Live shows that as well. Please watch it! 

Both take place in Arts High School. Both have similar drama. Both are music genre. Both have a big cast, but pay attention in two characters. There is competition in both. 

Both show a deep love towards the subject matter and presents the characters in a setting with diverse emotions related to it. Hibike is more focused in the main character while Kageki is more focused in diversifying the expressions, so the growth is different 

Both are about music but at the same time they show a great message of team work and working as a band. 

Whether you are a music fan or you just want to see a school drama, you will enjoy both series about music band and high school life. For both series, the art is so terrific that musical instruments seem vivid; the soundtrack are inspiring for audience. The difference: the main characters of Sakamichi no Apollon play jazz while those of Hibike! Euphonium are members of a brass band; Sakamichi no Apollon focuses on romance and friendship while Hibike! Euphonium has few elements of romance but gives a big service for yuri lovers:) 

Both animes are about four friends who share the day to day. In hanasaku Iroha everything happens in a Ryokan while in Hibike Euphonium in a high school. The main characters (Oumae Kumiko and Ohana Matsumae) have similar personalities and similar goals. 

-Classic & Spectacular KyoAni Beauty in the art and animation. -Both stories include the basic element of a school team that works together towards a final result/competition. -They share an exhilarating ending style that complements the entire show in the best way possible. -Must-watch for my fellow KyoAni lovers out there <3 

Both seasons of series are the differences from the anime series whose anime is Free! Season series which is the first summer and both are the same.The difference of the anime season is Hibike!.Depending on the different serial seasons of spring and the fall season.The backsound regulator of both anime-making series of music then the composer soundtrack is different.Both characters extracurricular activities depending on the opposite sex between girls or guys  

Goal setting, obsession, rivalry and fair competition, getting better, losing, winning, and many more. But there's maybe the most important thing to it. A last chance to shine and succeed. Not everyone will make it. They're young but it's probably their last time. Both shows draw different line between having fun and assuming serious, professional approach. 

Both of the anime got similarities about music. The difference is BanG Dream! is more into fun, comedy, and everyday life while Hibike! Euphonium is more serious because the team is aiming for Gold medal at National Contest but also got kind if slice of life problem, but aside from that... both of the anime got great story in it. BanG Dream! music type is light music (Guitar, Keyboard, Drum, Bass, etc), while on the other hand Hibike! Euphonium is Orchestra (Oboe, Euphonium, Trumpet, Percussion, etc). Both of the anime got goal, for Hibike! Euphonium... it's already mentioned above which is aiming for Gold medal at National Contest, on the other hand, BanG Dream also got goal but only mentioned in the Season 2 and 3 which is unfortunately cannot be told because of spoiler. But aside from that, both of the anime is about everyday life/slice of life about people who's love playing music read more 

Despite the starkly different premises (tanks and music), these two shows are surprisingly similar. For starter, they both have schoolgirl protagonists that are well versed in their respective field but deliberately chose a school that is only mediocre in terms of tankery/music. Despite that, their respective school has a big dream of winning the national tournament. The protagonists are reluctant to join at first, but becoming more committed to the cause gradually. What follows is a story of their struggles to attain that dream. Last but not least, the people who made these shows clearly did their research. You will pick up many interesting bits of knowledge of tanks/musical instruments by watching these two shows. read more 

Though Hibike! Euphonium and Yagate Kimi ni Naru seem to be about pretty different things on the surface level, there actually are a lot of similarities between the two. Both shows seem to have the same sort of feeling while you're watching them, and they both heavily rely on character drama to drive the plot forward. More superficially, both are school-based drama's that place a large focus on a club activity, and both start with the main character's first year of high school. Though Yagate Kimi ni Naru displays more obvious LGBTQ+ elements, considering that a developing intimate relationships and romantic feelings between girls is at the core of the show, Hibike! Euphonium also contains its fair share of yuri undertones that will not disappoint. The art, animation, and sound of both these shows are also wonderful, and I highly recommend that if you enjoyed one of these shows, you should definitely check the other out! read more 

Both anime are about music and drama. -Could have heavy drama at times -Characters revolves around girls and their relationship (There are hints of yuri/shipping) -Everyone is passionate about their music and wants to get better -Both anime are about failures and how its okay to get over them
