Sonotoki said: ^ It's bait because Reina loves teacher and because Kumiko ends up loving Shuichi. From what I'vee heard about the novels At the end Reina finds "the truth" about the teacher, Kumiko conforts her and...they become even close to the point Reina acts reeaaaaally protective over Kumiko lol the novel is still on going so Kumiko and shuuichi can brake up at this point But again thats talking about the novels, kyoani can change sooo many things. |

Almaironn said: But that still seems to delegitimate Reina's love for Kumiko. It makes it look like Kumiko's just her personal comfort because at the end of the day she still loves Teacher. Specially since her confession regarding teacher was much more serious than anything she explicitly stated towards Kumiko. Teacher loving her back is irrelevant for this. A fix scenario would be her realizing she was wrong about teacher and staying with kumiko.Sonotoki said: ^ It's bait because Reina loves teacher and because Kumiko ends up loving Shuichi. But teacher doesnt love Reina back, and the other thing happens in the novels, might not happen in the show. |

Big Spoiler from the Director? The guy is lying!!!!!! Argggghhhhhh!!!!!! Noooooo!!!!!! The yuri ships!!!!! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! “Honestly though, even without context I’m not sure how you took this as a romantic moment,” Hibike! Euphonium director Jukki Hanada said to reporters.“We’ve made it very clear that both of these characters are straight. Kumiko is very obviously in denial about her love for Tsukamoto, and Reina has outright stated that she loves Noboru Taki, so I’m not sure where you’re getting the lesbian vibes from. Kumiko and Reina are simply very close friends who do things like go out on long walks together, comment on how hot the other one is and touch each other closely because they’re so comfortable with their friendship.” God has spoken!!!! |

I don't really understand all the yuri baiting in this anime. People who don't like yuri are more inclined to ignore it. If anything we know yuri always sells terribly in japan. Wouldn't baiting just affect them negatively? Also, I don't read the LN's but from what I've heard of the people that have, most of the yuri sub... overtext is done by KyoAni since they're the ones doing all the physical intimacy since that wasn't present in the original. Maybe they understand their fans more than I thought though. Free!! sells well and everyone sees their all-girls shows as canonically yuri for some reason (The fans made me dislike K-On and Sora No Wo To... ) Yuri might actually work FOR KyoAni... Actually now that I think about it, KyoAni might actually really be into yaoi and yuri. They don't really write hetero romances all that well, since Haruhi. I think they only do hetero stuff for financial profit out of fear, but really "want" to do yaoi and yuri. Kind of wish they'd just come out of the closet though. |

That's what others think but Kyoani said it already that it's not. Kyoani is just being realistic, you know yuri don't sell well right? Kyoani knows that too. But Kyoani will still try to lure as much potential customers from that fandom without going all full yuri. Why should they come out of the closet? They're not even hiding there anyway. |

If you find out a source material sinks your ship, you don't automatically become a shipper of the new canon couple. You either choose to ignore the source and continue to interpret interactions a certain way, which is perfectly okay because just because a couple is canon, doesn't mean that was the best possible choice.

Im gonna still shipping Kumiko and Reina even if it doesnt become canon, because at least even being just friends, their relationship is way better than Shuuichi/Kumiko, Taki/Reina. |

I really think we should just get over the whole Obey the canon! thing. Dropping a ship just because it won't be canon is really weird, by the way. I get that you like, worship the author or something but you shipped them because you liked the them toghether, right? Why would you stop shipping them just because the author doesn't agree? Seems really weak willed to me. It's like being canon removes any of the fans' rights to think for themselves. Aaaaanyways, slightly off topic, I think the entertainment industry is going to slowly move away from the blind followship of the author. Or the authors are just going to be more open to changes to the script in the future. Whatever applies. Cause in the end, it's true that the author wrote the story and that we wouldn't have it without them, but it's still aimed at the fans and should cater to them. Orange Is the New Black changed the main pairing from the book cause that's what fans wanted. Wentworth decided to not go through with a major character dying (like she did in the original) because fans loved her. The adaption of The 100 decided to make the MC bi and rolled with it cause fans really liked the pairing. Japan may be always a bit slower with stuff like this but even the mangaka of Attack on Titans decided to make Ymir x Christa canon because that's what fans wanted. So basically what I'm saying is, anime/manga may be a bit more flexible and listen to fans more in the future. Western media seems to do it more and more and Eastern media may very well follow bit by bit. |

Any specific moments that you thought their characters complemented each other or the chemistry between them was good, more so than Kumiko and Reina? Or did you just guess at what was the most likely end pairing based on the type of show it was and stick with that? |

I see Kumiko and Shuichi as childhood friends who had conflicts in past and waiting for that to be fixed. I saw the disturbances and uneasiness in Kumiko when Hazuki tried to take Shuichi, I saw a spark there and I sense that they have been feeling something for each other for a long time. Now we are seeing slow interaction of the two so I checked the source to verify my suspicion and I was right. I see Kumiko and Reina, as close friends, doing what girls do. Yeah, the flirt thing is not NORMAL for some but in anime it is NORMAL. Reina already said who she loves Taki and Kumiko loves Euphonium-kun. And I'll never ship a girl with her musical instrument so I ship her and Shuichi coz this two has a LOT of things to fix and that makes me interested to them. I'm not drawn by "set up" scenes made by Kyoani for Reina and Kumiko coz its so forced and "planned". You've been watching anime for so long, you should've known what is "real" and what is "just bait". |

Welcome back, Googletranlate-kun. Really what leads me to believe that yuri fans have never had contact with real lesbian, or saw real relationships, Or even read a work or novel written by lesbians. We already talked about that, right? You don't know anything about yuri or homosexuality so just don't talk about it, okay? Even people that don't want the yuri see the yuri/bait/whatever so it's obviously not delusional or wishful thinking or whatever you think it is. And, you know, actual lesbians are shipping those two. I know cause I had contact with them. And I think actual lesbians know a thing or two about lesbians. Please don't write about Cross Ange in your answer, by the way. |

How about you stop talking out of your ass? Yuri fans love Sayaka. On Dynasty there are more Sayaka x Kyouko doujins than there are MadoHomu ones. And they rarely even talk about Kyousuke anymore. And if they do, then because he's a genuinely unlikeable character. Not because Sayaka was into him, but because of how he treated her. Or you will deny that 90% of attacks and injuries to men characters in anime they supposedly find it yuri, and has its colorful vessels are made by fans of yuri. Killed 100% of fic 95% of attacks and injuries to heterosexual relationships, are made by fans of yuri. 98% of injuries and attacks against female character who is interresado on a character of the opposite sex comes from yuri fans, taxed as a bitch and whore. There aren't even enough yuri fans to make those numbers work. Yuri fans knows no bounds, because they do not behave like fans of shoujo-ai, which are civilized and rational people, who respect the opinions of others and do not attack relations or men. First of, shoujo ai isn't even a thing. Secondly, you are doing the attacking. With all due respect the yuri fans seem to those of the US extreme feminist, who hate men, romantimos and heterosexual relationships, coming to attack and bomb a astrouna simply because he's wearing a shirt with a cartoon character. Huh. |

Doesn't seem like they're going to be tying off any relationships with just one episode to go (to the surprise of no one). I'm kind of doubting they're even going to show the nationals at the current pacing, I'm guessing cliff hanger or up to qualifiers? On an unrelated note, please ignore cancerous posting. |

Anime-Novel comparisons from AS by Larethian - many of the events involving preparations and auditions including the solo re-audition were different; there were also 2 groups that went to the competition as the competition were split into the main (group As of all the schools) and non-main (group Bs); first-timers also did not get to audition; etc. etc. - Asuka's hidden (I don't really care and you can go f**k yourself if there's no merit to me) personality was more clearly shown and Kumiko caught on rather early and clearly compared to the anime - there were also more technical explanations to the pieces which made it more interesting to me; for eg. the main piece for Kitauchi, Crescent Moon, has the first part played as melody by the trumpets and trombones, and the 2nd half played as melody by the bass section, which was partly why it was also not an easy piece for the bass section. The main piece is a topic piece that has to be selected from a list of given pieces by the organizers. Taki also chose Crescent Moon as it is the most difficult piece which other schools were unlikely to choose. It was part of his strategy as the judges would be tired of hearing the same pieces repeatedly. - during their 'first' encounter, Shuuichi did apologize to Kumiko after Kumiko mentioned the middle school incident, and it was implied that she forgave him and went back to speaking terms with him; the bus incident subsequently did not happen and Kumiko sat beside Midori in the bus in the novel - in the novel, it was very clearly expressed that Kumiko felt something for Shuuichi, when Midori rambled about Hadzuki having a crush on Shuuichi and going to invite him for the festival; her mind went blank and she felt a heartache; this was not so clear in the anime. When Shuuichi invited Kumiko to the fes, Kumiko originally was going to say yes but Hadzuki appeared. This was again not clear in the anime. There were also more events subsequently throughout the novel each time Kumiko bumped into/met Shuuichi, which illustrated that Kumiko was starting to feel more and more 'differently' towards her childhood friend (more easily nervous, breathing becomes harder etc.); I can't remember whether it was shown in the anime, but Hadzuki confessed to Kumiko for taking advantage of her 'meekness' and jumped the gun first on Shuuichi knowing that she would back out automatically, and subsequently she could tell from Kumiko's expression that she had feelings for Shuuichi, and then commented on Kumiko denseness when she was in denial - trivia: Kumiko and Reina were on first name basis right off the bat, this actually made sense to me, as elementary and middle school kids are more often on first name basis more casually, especially if they are of the same gender; except Kumiko and Taki, everyone also spoke in Kansai dialect unless they are speaking to someone of higher seniority (everyone spoke standard Japanese in anime); Reina also greeted Kumiko when they first bumped into each other on the first day of band practice; while they were not close enough to hang out, they were not as estranged as they were first presented by the anime - at the temple scene, they never did bring their instruments up, and instead of sliding a finger from forehead to lip, Reina merely brushed her fingers against Kumiko's cheek; here's what I inferred based on the monologue, dialogue, and descriptions in the text throughout volume 1 starting from this scene: * Reina was attracted to Kumiko because of her personality; she had always wanted to hang out with Kumiko but otherwise not interested in making friends with others; the 'accidental' invite provided her the opportunity to do so * Kumiko was attracted to Reina because of her 'outstanding' beauty and aura that takes her breath away, and in her mind she often compared herself inferiorly towards Reina; Kumiko was also someone who had been easily swallowed by the flow and influenced by others, while Reina was the complete opposite of her * there was mutual attraction albeit in different areas but it did not feel particularly yuri-ish to me - even in the hug scene after Reina left the room where Yuuko was making her outburst, it did not feel particularly yuri-ish to me partly because of the consistent contextual build-up of hints of romantic tension between Kumiko and Shuuichi; it was also mentioned that Kumiko went after Reina because she could see the hurt in her eyes; as a result of Yuuko's outburst, the other band members started to sympathize with Kaori as she was in her final year; this made Reina feel that everyone was against her and she was the one at fault and she thus made the comment about 'complaining after becoming better than her' to no one in particular (could be directed to everyone in the room) in retaliation. She left the room feeling hurt, and she was also hurt that Taki-sensei was accused and getting bad-mouthed because of her. Because of the clarity of the hurt illustrated here, the hug scene felt more natural and less of a yuri-ish fanservice as Reina desperately needed a friend to comfort her. It's amazing how translation of a page or two without the appropriate context can generate so much confusion - while Yuuko was also being obnoxious in the novel, it was upped one notch in the anime when directed against Taki, which did not happen in the novel, where she merely asked whether Taki knew Reina before; the discontentment of the band was up-played by KyoAni; while the rest of the band felt sorry for Kaori, the discontentment was not that serious to the extent of preventing them from practicing as an ensemble in the novel - the solo reaudition was requested by Kaori herself one day before the competition during the hall practice, and not suggested by Taki; Taki agreed, and then commented on her remarkable improvement in just a few weeks; Reina was still clearly better; unlike the anime there was no public vote in the novel but yet Taki asked Kaori to play to which she declined crying (same as anime); Reina also apologized for her rude comment which did not happen in the anime - comparing with the latest episode, there was no Shuuichi fiasco with his trombone part in the novel, and next episode may contain original content as well, it seems Yeah we wouldn't even have this thread if it weren't for Kyoani deciding to insert pointless yuri baiting. |

It was part of his strategy as the judges would be tired of hearing the same pieces repeatedly. - during their 'first' encounter, Shuuichi did apologize to Kumiko after Kumiko mentioned the middle school incident, and it was implied that she forgave him and went back to speaking terms with him; the bus incident subsequently did not happen and Kumiko sat beside Midori in the bus in the novel - in the novel, it was very clearly expressed that Kumiko felt something for Shuuichi, when Midori rambled about Hadzuki having a crush on Shuuichi and going to invite him for the festival; her mind went blank and she felt a heartache; this was not so clear in the anime. When Shuuichi invited Kumiko to the fes, Kumiko originally was going to say yes but Hadzuki appeared. This was again not clear in the anime. There were also more events subsequently throughout the novel each time Kumiko bumped into/met Shuuichi, which illustrated that Kumiko was starting to feel more and more 'differently' towards her childhood friend (more easily nervous, breathing becomes harder etc.); I can't remember whether it was shown in the anime, but Hadzuki confessed to Kumiko for taking advantage of her 'meekness' and jumped the gun first on Shuuichi knowing that she would back out automatically, and subsequently she could tell from Kumiko's expression that she had feelings for Shuuichi, and then commented on Kumiko denseness when she was in denial - trivia: Kumiko and Reina were on first name basis right off the bat, this actually made sense to me, as elementary and middle school kids are more often on first name basis more casually, especially if they are of the same gender; except Kumiko and Taki, everyone also spoke in Kansai dialect unless they are speaking to someone of higher seniority (everyone spoke standard Japanese in anime); Reina also greeted Kumiko when they first bumped into each other on the first day of band practice; while they were not close enough to hang out, they were not as estranged as they were first presented by the anime - at the temple scene, they never did bring their instruments up, and instead of sliding a finger from forehead to lip, Reina merely brushed her fingers against Kumiko's cheek; here's what I inferred based on the monologue, dialogue, and descriptions in the text throughout volume 1 starting from this scene: * Reina was attracted to Kumiko because of her personality; she had always wanted to hang out with Kumiko but otherwise not interested in making friends with others; the 'accidental' invite provided her the opportunity to do so * Kumiko was attracted to Reina because of her 'outstanding' beauty and aura that takes her breath away, and in her mind she often compared herself inferiorly towards Reina; Kumiko was also someone who had been easily swallowed by the flow and influenced by others, while Reina was the complete opposite of her * there was mutual attraction albeit in different areas but it did not feel particularly yuri-ish to me - even in the hug scene after Reina left the room where Yuuko was making her outburst, it did not feel particularly yuri-ish to me partly because of the consistent contextual build-up of hints of romantic tension between Kumiko and Shuuichi; it was also mentioned that Kumiko went after Reina because she could see the hurt in her eyes; as a result of Yuuko's outburst, the other band members started to sympathize with Kaori as she was in her final year; this made Reina feel that everyone was against her and she was the one at fault and she thus made the comment about 'complaining after becoming better than her' to no one in particular (could be directed to everyone in the room) in retaliation. She left the room feeling hurt, and she was also hurt that Taki-sensei was accused and getting bad-mouthed because of her. Because of the clarity of the hurt illustrated here, the hug scene felt more natural and less of a yuri-ish fanservice as Reina desperately needed a friend to comfort her. It's amazing how translation of a page or two without the appropriate context can generate so much confusion - while Yuuko was also being obnoxious in the novel, it was upped one notch in the anime when directed against Taki, which did not happen in the novel, where she merely asked whether Taki knew Reina before; the discontentment of the band was up-played by KyoAni; while the rest of the band felt sorry for Kaori, the discontentment was not that serious to the extent of preventing them from practicing as an ensemble in the novel - the solo reaudition was requested by Kaori herself one day before the competition during the hall practice, and not suggested by Taki; Taki agreed, and then commented on her remarkable improvement in just a few weeks; Reina was still clearly better; unlike the anime there was no public vote in the novel but yet Taki asked Kaori to play to which she declined crying (same as anime); Reina also apologized for her rude comment which did not happen in the anime - comparing with the latest episode, there was no Shuuichi fiasco with his trombone part in the novel, and next episode may contain original content as well, it seems Yeah we wouldn't even have this thread if it weren't for Kyoani deciding to insert pointless yuri baiting. |

Well you know the saying, there's no smoke without a fire. And this show is exactly that, smoke without fire AKA as subtext, some may watch it for the drama some for the music but none the less figures don't lie, it was subtext that sold more, well some may saw them as genuine friendship that is posible only in anime and bound by these laws where esthetic and built tension are just eye candy and are pleased with given. And there is nothing wrong in that.... yet sudenly why am i remembering hayao miyazaki interview about his thoughts where current anime is heading. |

Oh, it's the end. The subs might be out here by tomorrow dawn. Hmmm.... If my predictions is correct. They might jump over Volume 2 and 3 so they can make a movie of Volume 4. As far as I heard, Volume 2 and 3 doesn't focus on Kumiko, so it's ok to bypass it. |

The premise is band, in case you forgot, seems like the more natural progression. |

Lollo36 said: There will probably be no second season because japanese fans have shit taste and they haven't bought enough BDs. They would probably have bought even less discs if it weren't for the yuri bait. Hey, don't say that, as if majority of people watch this for yuri. As if yuri themed anime sell better. -_- v |
