Hibike! Euphonium 2, the sequel to the first of it's kind which was...good to say the least; but taken what the first season had and drastically improved in all areas. Story wise we follow the class as they all strive to earn gold at the Kansai regional competition, as well, we see many quarrels in the classroom with old friends yearning for a second chance and young love that might sprout. There's a lot of drama, and a lot of warm fuzzy moments.
Honestly, I'm quite surprised just how well this anime was paced. With just 13 episodes it almost seamlessly spanned everything out in a reasonable enough manner to make it seem much longer thought out than it's predecessor. The characters are the biggest improvement by far. I mean taken that they all seemed very, drab-like the first season, they have much more of a refined approach to situations and it really works well here.
I must admit one huge thing, I absolutely love this animation. I mean the first season already had amazing animation, but taken into consideration that this anime has major improvement on top of eye candy, and a great ost, it really makes the package much nicer. That and how much better the OP is in comparison.
Overall I'm remarkably impressed with how much better this season was. Between the great artstyle and animation, and the great character performances, I'd have to say that I recommend this anime to many!
