They should reuse voice recordings from series

So is this like a recap of s2?

kamil88 said:

Yes, it will be retelling of S2, like previous Movie was retelling of S1

TuyNOM said:
Why not? I love Euphonium! <3

Nuclearducky said:


I like it too, but watching a recap isn't really all that entertaining, unless it somehow manages to be super engrossing and reveal a lot of interesting stuff not from the anime.

TuyNOM said:


I agree with you. I'll watch it when I have time and this film isn't my priority at all. I prefer to revisit the entire series in episodes. But since Euphonium is adapted by KyoAni, there is a good chance that the film still has better animation. (The series was already wonderful at the level of art ...)

More Hibike is always appreciated, i hope they'll add new content like it was with the first movie. As much as i want 3rd season to happen highly doubt it will.

Renz1er said:


They very much concluded the whole thing in the second season. Who knows, they might do something like Tamako Market Love Story.

By the way, what additional scenes were added in the first movie ?

Saucy said:


I'd be down to see better animation.

Hibike has some of the best animation and art direction I've ever seen.

allenjke said:


The festival performance, i think it was pretty good addition and quite long.

Usually people say, if it gets a recap movie it will get another season. So, what are the chances of a Hibike 3 ?

Close to nil. There is nothing much to adapt in the source material in the first place. We have experienced the same through Hyouka (Koten-bu Series) in the past from KyoAni.

Renz1er said:


You're wrong there, it's not the source material. It's the story itself. They have nothing more to follow up with, the story is concluded. I was only hoping if they could do something like Tamako Love Story; emphasize on hoping. However, if you're talking about source material. It seems the manga-ka ended the manga and did a sequel after the anime was announced. She ended the second manga just one month before the second season's airing time. In that sense, if she deems fit, she might pull off another sequel after the movie release.

Koten-bu Series was based on the first 4 volumes of the novel and the last novel the author released was in 2010. Hence, the lack of source material made the series unable to get another season. Heard there was a 6th volume release in Nov 16. Again, hoping they can do another season. Really loved the anime.

I am well aware that Koten-bu Series was on hiatus and only just recently returned with the sixth volume. The reason I said what I said is because I am well informed about Hibike! Euphonium novels (yes, novels) and NOT the manga, because the manga is just another adaptation (albeit slightly changed) from the original novel from Takeda-sensei as the anime version is.

Volume 2 and 3 were already out before season 1. But both volumes were originally outside the scope of the anime until they decided to include first Mizore midway the season (shown playing on her own in the corridor), and then Nozomi in the final episode (showing up in during the Kyoto competition amongst the audiences) during the anime production period. Volume 4, which is a collection of short stories, and then considered the final volume came out during the run of the first season prompting both positive and negative feedback in the forums because of a certain something revealed in it.

There is source material available that is NOT covered, but the parts that are not covered are very limited from the original novel. Particularly notable ones are parts from volume 3 (Taki's younger days) and parts from volume 4 (involving Midori's passion about her hobbies, Shuuichi's role in the bass-band and Kumiko's || confession|| <--- Select/Highlight to read). Also there are three separate volumes, 2 covering Rikka High with Azusa as the protagonist and the third being Kitauji and Rikka performing together.

If that is not all, Takeda-sensei also mentioned in one of her personal tweets that she is overwhelmed by the fans showing huge admiration for her story and particularly their affection for Kumiko, Reina, Asuka and Shuuichi (yes, he is popular amongst Japanese fans) and she wants to write a continuation of Kumiko's journey as a second and third year student being a member of the Kitauji Bass Band to show her gratitude towards her fans. But all of these will have to wait until she has finished working on her latest detective novel.

This brings me back to my original comment. Kyoto Animation doesn't usually return to a series that has been on hiatus or lacking source material. They don't have a record for that so if they want to go completely anime original, they would have to acquire the IP for that novel which is own by third party (novel publisher) and Takeda-sensei herself. Comparing it with TLS doesn't make sense, because Tamako Market was anime original and KyoAni basically owned it which is not the case for either Koten-bu Series or Hibike! Euphonium. If they want to make a sequel movie, it's an entirely different ball game.

I am on the same boat as you. It's one of my all time favourite anime and sits in my all time top 10. But realistically, I don't see them making a movie. Hell, I will be the first one to throw a party if they announced a movie sequel because if that were to happen I know they will go the novel route because they have nicely set it up for it to happen. That is Kumiko always had || feelings for Shuuichi. And she will starts going out with him. Childhood friend cliche? Like I even care. I have been a shipper since she dropped her egg roll back in episode 7 of season 1. :P|| <--- Select/Highlight to read.

Renz1er said:
Hope you seen this already, mate.

shanimebib said:
Yep. And it seems Takeda also followed up on her words (tweet actually) to write sequels with Kumiko in her 2nd and third years. :)

Renz1er said:


If I had to guess. I'll say, they will do another competition story for the 2nd year, only this time they will win the gold. For 3rd year, they may use Tamako Market Love Story's idea and might do Kumiko x Shuuichi. But, then again they're just assumptions.

shanimebib said:


It's not a retelling. It will be the same. As in a summary movie just like the previous movie that came out after season 1.
