Like every KyoAni adaptation, this one is beautiful, immersive and delightful. With every scene you see, you just gotta say that the arts and animations are always great.
If you're not really a slice of life fan. Then I don't know if you'll enjoy this anime(I know there's no SLF tag). But for me, it's enjoyable through out the episodes. The comedy, drama, and the way that they handle music. I can relate their hard work since I'm also a musician myself.
Story:
Like the summary says. Kumiko Oumae and her friends remain determined to attain gold at the Kansai competition. It's more focusing on the character's back story though. The plot and all and how they were here and who's situations. Were interesting as it is as we look into the story intriguingly.
Art:
What caught my attention to anime is its art. And this art style is astonishing., especially the hair. The background is just so beautiful and immersive. The eyes are good.
Animation:
You know KyoAni is best with their animations. I don't think I have to explain this, lol. The hair animation though!
Sound / Music:
I don't know how to rate about sounds but it's listenable......
I'm okay with any music~ The musics, OST, OP & ED are ~so~ good!
Characters:
The yuri-ness... It kinda had their moments but overall; it isn't. Most of the episodes are about character developments. So it's great enough to understand each and every characters' problems. It's sad, and seeing them move on just makes it depressing.
Enjoyment:
Like everything I just said. I don't just watch anime because there are cute girls.. You know it's kinda a let down but you gotta appreciate the adaptation.
I wish they have a season 3.. I wonder what would happen and "most" KyoAni adaptations just want you to want them have another season.
