After finishing Suzuka I was hoping that Fuuka was better and by God was it so much better and after finishing it, it has made me look forward to other music anime's in the future.
The story begins when Yuu Haruna is randomly walking through town looking at Twitter when suddenly a random girl called Fuuka bumped into him and suddenly these two along with other people would begin a musical career.
Even though there were some elements from Suzuka that were reused like the love triangle between Haruna, Fuuka and Koyuki, but the difference is that these reused elements were done better far better in fact and I really enjoyed the band when they got together, worked together on creating the music and it was just really fun watching these characters grow until Fuuka decided to make a decision that almost cost the anime the score I gave it, but luckily it was fixed in the end which narrowly saved it which for anyone who has read the manga you will probably be disappointed because some things are changed for the 12 episode length.
The characters were far better than the characters that were in Suzuka, Fuuka unlike her mother was a very energetic, passionate, determined and incredibly adorable character she stole the show for me, Haruna was actually decent for a male MC though there were a few points where he did some mistakes a lot like Yamato, then there is the other band members Mikasa a homosexual (which is actually refreshing) keyboardist, Sara the Guitarist who could've been another Tsundere, but ended up being almost as adorable as Fuuka and Kazuya the drummer who really liked to whine a lot these characters were done well and had great chemistry, then theres Koyuki who to me is the weakest character of the show, she felt like a new version of Honoka but wasn't done as well which is why I couldn't support the Haruna and Koyuki relationship, but most of the characters were done well.
The Romance was actually fun there were a good number of moments between Fuuka and Haruna that you wanted to say "awww" at like some of the moments during the beach episodes and when they were creating the band they just really clicked for me and then Koyuki came in and in some ways ruined it her relationship with Haruna didn't feel right it felt forced so I was glad when they broke up and it focused back on Fuuka and Haruna.
Then there's the music aspect it was good, but they reused the same track a good number of times and didn't use new ones until the final episodes so that kinda annoyed me this would've been worse if I didn't like the soundtrack, but luckily it didn't so it didn't bother me that much.
So if you're someone who recently came from Suzuka then this will definitely be worth watching or if you're looking for a good Romance/Music anime then you've also come to the right place, but if you had read the manga for this anime then I'd be alert since there are some things that have been changed, honestly to me though I thought it was actually pretty good
