Sound! Euphonium (light novel)
| I am just curious because I know Your Lie in April, probably the biggest music themed anime, is extremely well done on the musical side. From what I understand they nailed everything, just added a bit extra drama to TV-ify it. How well does Hibike deal with the technical side of the music? Theres clearly TONS of moving parts, and they use a lot of musical terms that I simply dont comprehend. |
| It is accurate to the extreme. And very realistic. |
| it's 100% accurate just see those "making the anime video" you'll know it |

| The music part of the anime is amazing just bit over dramatic sometimes in story. |

| It's fantastic, from the accurate animation, to the gorgeous original Concert Band pieces, to the well depicted culture of extra-curricular music. I think anyone who participated in an instrumental music group in any form while in school will at the very least have an appreciation for how well KyoAni captures the spirit of those groups. There's much less of a dramatic storyline like is found in Your Lie in April, and instead the show focuses more on the music itself, and the friendships, relationships, and rivalries within the group. Also, one of my favorite things about the show, is that whatever piece the group is working on at the time, they'll show the audience snippets of it during their practice, and you might become familiar with specific portions that certain characters are continously practicing. However (unless my memory has failed me here) you never hear the entire song until the Kitauji Concert Band performs it in a competition, parade, or at a mall, and then they'll dedicate 4-11 minutes of the episode or so, depending on how long each piece is, and they'll just show you the performance. The performance portions are very well done, and I love the narrative choice to have these be the first time the audience experiences the songs all the way through. Another cherry on top, is that, like I mentioned before (and unless I'm mistaken), some of the musical numbers were explicitly written for Hibike Euphonium, which I just find cool. Lastly, I wanna mention how sometimes there's a show that affects me on another level other than just being good entertainment. Sound Euphonium was definitely one of those shows for me, as it reinstilled my love for playing instrumental music, and got me seriously playing my trumpet again for a while. I think many others likely had a similar experience, and that the show just resonates so well with anyone who's played an instrument before. That's not to say only musicians can enjoy this show, as I believe anyone could, just that if you have played music before, watching Hibike will tug on your nostalgia, and you will likely appreciate the show on an even deeper level than some. Anway, I'll quit my rambling, but long story short: yes, I do believe Hibike Euphonium delivers on musical accuracy and excellency. It's just a work of art imo, and I would highly recommend it to anyone I know who loves music. |
