Dat fist bump!

The finale was nice and refreshing. Glad to see Kumiko with ponytail hair style again. I kinda miss that:


There's some nervousness in the finale although I thought overall was portrayed well with the human expressions. The ensemble and everything the club worked for came down to the second half and imo, the way their work was experienced through art and beauty was evident. 8/10. Was overall a nice series and I enjoyed it.

Just like the entire series, so was this episode amazingly beautiful.
It's sad to see the final episode is already here, but the ride was so good I got nothing to complain about.

I didn't expect that it will be that good in general.
Amazing animation and art, definitely the best in this year and maybe even past years. Everything was beautiful, they showed how computer graphics should be used. No VISIBLE awful 3d models/objects, great shaders and effects. If all studios would be using CGI in this way, than I wouldn't mind it at all.
8/10

10/10 I'll be so happy if there is a second season.

Well that was quite the nice performance, and their effort paid off. This was a pretty good series. I almost didn't watch it as I have no real musical knowledge, but I'm glad I did. Some of the drama was annoying at times, but overall I enjoyed the story and character interaction. And of course the artwork was very strong. 7/10

Okay It's over now. I didn't expect this to be a good musical anime with drama.
So I'll rating this a 7 out of 10 overall. (Or maybe I'll score it an 8.)

It was a nice anime and it did have a nice ending.
There is not much more to add.

Looks like their are some specials up ahead but the question is will this have a second season or a movie.
Guess we need to wait and see.

Damn that final performance was stunning. Very high quality yet under rated series due to it being a musical Kyo anime.

A solid 9/10 and I wouldn't mind a second season in the actual nationals.

Great ending, beautiful anime, hoping for a 2nd season. Also, might be the most beautifully drawn anime I have ever seen, I'll have to think about whether I like this better visually than stuff from Makoto Shinkai.

while the story and music itself are good, the most pleasing one must be the art. This is by far KyoAni richest animation anime series i ever watch, even above K-On movie in terms of animation, and put previous KyoAni works to shame (sorry Amaburi, but knowing Amaburi is being done not by KyoAni top animator that's kinda to be expected)

I don't think so, Reina has got different eye color. Girl on photo looks young, maybe daugther of Taki-sensei, their eye color matches.

Beautiful end. Hope to get sequel.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

An amazing finale to an amazing series.
The first half had about a hundred lovely character moments, while I still feel the tension from the second half.
Now I just need to come to terms with the fact that we may not get more seasons of this.

I love the ending music arranged from the usual opening theme song, in particular its atmosphere is rather soft and calm, not noisy or brassy. It doesn't mean to be a victory declaration but a breathing time for their proceedings still going.

I thought this anime was going to be boring at first, but now after finishing the last episode, I am surprised so say that I actually thought this anime was pretty good

Anime makes everything look fun like school and being in a band

I wouldn't mind a second season to be honest

That was awesome! I was breathless the entire music part. I was afraid that something might go wrong especially in Reina's solo but it went out quite amazing!

Woah! They won gold! I'll give it 8/10

By the way, the scene starting at 11:50 made me smile. That bubble cheek, that brofist! yeah!

Now this is how you make a good anime. Great character interactions with development, realistic events and not overly "trope-filled" and a nice OST with KyoAni's beautiful animation. Even if this doesn't get a 2nd season, the story is a complete package and is told well so that it can stand on its own.

I watched Whiplash before episode 12 and while it's not entirely the same, I can see why so many people were comparing the two.

They certainly did a good job of leaving some things to be explained if there is a 2nd season, like what was Taki-sensei looking at before meeting up with the band. I really hope it happens.

I thought the shot on Kaori while Reina was playing the solo was beautifully done. But that's just KyoAni, being the best animation studio ;)

My own band experience made me enjoy this on a personal level as well.

Does anyone know how much the anime adapted of the novel series?

I was section leader for percussion. Even went to Italy and played concerts in 13 some cities.

This was amazing for me at least as I was a band geek but I can understand why some simply wouldn't find it in the same light.

Don't really listen to this type of music nor was I a bank geek but I still really enjoyed this one. loved the characters and the struggle they all had to come together and pull off getting into the nationals, great music and animation too. Would love a second season of this to see them all play in the nationals.

This show might have had a very rocky start balancing its cast of characters as well as its variety of tones and atmospheres, but it really stood on its own two feet by the last few episodes with each exceeding the previous in quality.

First volume out of four available.


The fourth is most likely be the final volume. And if they plan to make a movie sequel, I will hope they do with the final volume because
