It's now been three years since this video has released but the final season of Sound!Euphonium is being aired and every single video on this show always brings me to tears. I'm grateful to see that there's other people who feel the same way about the show as I do, even if my feelings may be diluted because I was never in band in high school. So thank you. Thank you for putting your feelings about this show into the words that I cannot write for myself.

The show becane really difficult to watch for me after Episode 3 where Taki completely criticized some girls playing by calling her last few years of playing a "waste of potential and time" making her cry, which really hit home some of my bad memories of sports and try outs. Taki didn't sugarcoat his words, he didn't give any anime motivation or tell them parts he liked, he was harsh and honest. First time I can say an anime really hit me as hard as it did, it just felt so grounded and realistic to my own experiences with college sports, it made it really difficult to finish the show. I'm hoping to finish it sometime, but damn did it trigger some memories.

It's important to do stuff that keeps you alive, but so is doing stuff that makes you feel alive. Really nice heartfelt video.

This. Some people obsess so much over living the longest that they end up spending their whole life doing it. And for some people they might be happy about it like that, and good for them. But I have also seen people who have realized that what they were actually trying to do is live forever, and thus all that time spent trying to live forever was wasted.

The ending actually got me to cry because of how true it all is

I never was in band, but I was in a concert Choir. The subtle differences when someone is unsure, when they are practicing, the small difference in quality from one good player to an experienced player, all translate. I was in choir because I loved it, too. The sound and story of Sound! Euphonium hit so close to me, even though I'm not part of that same world.

Some time around 2021, I stumbled upon this show. I was in a bad place, but was finding my way out of it. Part of that process was figuring out what is and is not within my ability to do and to change. When I watched this show, I immediately saw myself in Aoi and it scared me. I saw myself in Mamiko and knew exactly how frustrated she was. I'd set down my flute for about a year, and hadn't played in ensemble since before COVID. This show got me to understand that I don't need to justify my musicianship as anything other than something I love. I likely won't ever practice music as a career, I have skills attached to more stable and lucrative careers than that of a professional musician. Even so, I've kept performing in university band and, once I leave university this year, I will join a community band wherever I happen to find employment. I won't resign myself to the loss of musical joy, because it is within my ability to reclaim it. I won't deny myself the joy of ensemble out of some sense that it doesn't matter, because it does. It matters because I like the flute.

This is the only show I’ve seen where it felt like the characters themselves heard and reacted to the exact same musical performances that we hear watching it. Like they didn’t just toss in a recording and then the characters react as the plot dictates-it feels like they were actually there listening. Absolutely incredible sound design.

i admit i cried. I havent been in a band before so i cant understand your feelings. But at least i can understand these "fleeting" moments. Doing something because you like it. Its not a means to an end. Its not about productive. I used to play basketball in junior highschool. Im not good. I cant do layup properly. But it is fun. But my parents told me to stop because it disturb my study. So i stopped. And thats it. I dont really like playing basketball anymore. But when i play, talk with friends, drink water after training, its so fun. And i dont regret that. Such fleeting moments. Im in college rn and theres no substitute for that moment. Thank you good sir.

great stuff, well written, well spoken, and good editing - so glad to hear someone talk about this series in 2020!

Thank you for reminding me this show exists. I remember hearing about it a few years ago when I was in band myself but didn't have the heart to watch it as band took up 90% of my time. Now that I'm out of band, even if it's been a short time, I think this show is exactly what I need to watch. I found myself laughing at the part where the person was practicing the euphonium as it sounded exactly like how I remember the two euphonium players in my band practicing and I found myself tearing up at times remembering what it was like to be in a concert band. I definitely need to give it a watch. (Also is the piece at the very beginning a Crown 2019 tuning hit? sounds kinda like it at least lol)

I started binging this last week. Showed it to my buddy who was my upperclassmen, and we both agreed that this show hit 🎯💯. So bittersweet reflecting on my time in band and drum line from 2008-2012... We had a new director my freshman year, and show depicted the drama pretty accurately and the motivation and drive to push through the negativity. Don't know how I did 6AM to 9PM every Mon/Wed/Fri... Now I am just lazy and tired 😅 comes with age I guess.

Played french horn in a high school band in the '60s, abandoned music for family and work and switched to rookie trombone post-retirement to play in a seniors band now so no prize guessing my favourite character. Was just as clueless as Shuuichi both then and now, so find it hard to watch too. Still glad I found it. Thanks for the clothespin comment, that's so true to life.

I didn't play an instrument in High School, so I don't connect with it in the same way you do. But, I did go to art school. I related heavily with a lot of those competitive moments, the criticisms, the backlash, the burnout, etc. Particularly, I related with the moment where Kumiko is passed over, and she runs, crying, across the bridge before yelling out into the night "I want to improve!" This show deals with the creative struggle better than about every piece of media except maybe "Whisper of the Heart." That's a real struggle that every creative person is going to face at some point. And it's hard. And ultimately, for me, seeing these characters persists is what helps give me the courage to keep going myself.

I remember when I was a junior in HS(at the start of the pandemic) and our band class was online and I lost a lot of motivation to play(trumpet). It got to a point where I was considering not doing band for senior year(we were back in person at this point). After the year ended, we went on vacation and I watched Hibike! when we got back to the hotel and it reminded me why I started and loved it and motivated me to keep playing. Hibike! holds a special place in my heart, without it I don't think I would've picked up the trumpet again.

I'm sitting here stunned. You captured all the things i felt, i the things i realized about this show and spelled them out for me because i couldn't. This video was so amazingly done, the visual that you choose to underline what you were saying, the music that was so perfect choosen it almost made me cry about this show once more. Thank you for doing this video, and sharing it with us.

Just rewatched Sound! Eupho. I've never been in band but despite this the attention to detail in this show is amazing. I'm glad to hear that it very realistic portrayal of being in a concert band. I feel that I could watch it for the 3rd time and I will still be sucked into the realistic world. Having never been I band, never lived or visited japan/kyoto the realism means you pick up something new each time you watch it. Unlike other shows I feel that this doesn't have an overbearing message or theme although the idea of doing something because you like it and trying enjoy life comes across. When I first watched this it made me regret not doing band. (I already had regrets prior to watching as I really have grown to love music since leaving school).

Same here! Regret is such a sad thing, but is unfortunately a fact of life. Reflecting on your past is such a luxury and curse, but that’s what gives it meaning. I’m 20 now and didn’t take advantage of my free time, but now I’m hoping to try to live without regrets. Hope you do too!

I was a kid when I first watched this. I had genuine love for music. It was my comfort- my world. I knew nothing about concert band or even playing any kind of wind instrument. But what drew me in to this show besides the amazing music was the real characters. At the time, I wanted to find someone to relate to. And that person was Kumiko

This show has done a lot for me and it will always hold a special place for that. While I wasn't a band kid myself in school, I was in choir, and our two groups hung around together a lot. I was always interested in picking up an instrument, and with my activities I already knew about the feeling of making music together with other people. But there always was something getting in the way, then I already had my choir duties, and ultimately I was simply too lazy. And eventually...life just moved on. I finished school, went to uni, took a few unexpected twists and turns, and along the way I lost many things I did or wanted to do out of sight. And then I came across Hibike. It dragged me in with a vague sense of familiarity paired with an interest in all those curious little details and finer nuances to the concert band troupe. But what fascinated me until the end was all those characters and their relationship with their playing. Especially in the case of Kumiko, who not only has to get a grasp on why it is she still sticks with the Euphonium after all these years, but also goes through the process of how the reasons for her interest had changed over the course of this time. While watching for the first time something had already started stirring during the first few episodes; I had started to rediscover the joy I used to find in both listening to and making music. In connecting with other people like that. And when the scene came around where Kumiko in a wonderfully stupid act of defiance goes "Because I like the Euphonium", I realised this very important lesson, too. The only reason you need to do something is that it makes you happy. So go ahead and do it. This show has had me pick up the trombone. I'm pretty late to the party; mid-twenties, working a full time job and having tons of more "useful" things I should worry about. But I like playing the little slidey trumpet, I have been for two years now. And although 2020 has ruined my plans in this regard, I still want to play with other people. Because I've started to feel like I've been doing something meaningful again. Not meaningful to anyone else, or in some utilitarian sense, but meaningful to me. Obviously since when I first saw Hibike, my views on it changed, too, for one how I can relate to a lot more of the character's more specific issues - I've had my fair share of "umaki naritai" moments already. But no matter what comes in the future, Hibike and Kumiko's journey to finding and defending her joy in playing the Euphonium have literally changed my life. And for this I thank the show. And I will always remember how warm it sounds.

Only 15k views for this video? KZread need to upgrade their algorithms, such a good video essay. Make me cried on my office desk at lunch break.

As someone who loved high school band so much I went on to make it my career its heartbreaking to hear someone talk about that life with such yearning as someone who never left.

Nice overview. I’m a life-long euphonium player (started in the early 1980s)… was wondering if I should watch a “silly cartoon”. You’ve given me informative context. Thanks.

IM LITTERALLY CRYING RIGHT KNOW, FUCK DUDE AMAZING VID

Was not expecting to hear Carolina Crown 19 in an intro for an anime video

I was forced into band when I was in Middle School and my freshman year of high school (I’m a senior now) and this show has made me remember all the good, bad, and neutral feelings I felt and more. I also relate more to it now that I’m in choir because a lot of the things that happen in the show still happen in choir as well. This is probably my favorite show ever and I thank you for making this incredible video. Much love ❤❤

I play euphonium, so hearing that there's an anime about band is so cool!

I really, really liked this video. Great job! I thought the greatest appeal was Kumiko's rediscovery of her passion for playing music. I was never in band, but I could still easily relate with those kind of feelings. Have you seen Liz and the Blue Bird? It's a spin off movie from the Sound Euphonium series that is definitely worth checking out. The animation at 21:35 is amazing

Being in band was truly a one of a kind experience that can never be replicated, and most people have to move on from. On top of being a great anime, Sound Euphonium is truly a love letter to anyone who has felt that passion. I was highly involved with high school band before graduating in 2021. At the time band was the only reason I enjoyed going to school and probably the only reason I got out of bed in the morning at all. My junior year I was better than ever and improving every day it felt like, we'd just come out of a state run for marching band, though we didn't place in the competition, just making it to state was impressive given the non-existent funding for our program and small talent pool due to the abundance of highschools in our district. But that's when the pandemic brought everything to a screeching halt and it was heart breaking. My senior year I was section leader(low brass) but we didn't get to have a marching show or any of the other things we'd normally do. Though wind ensemble did get a performance at the end of the year, all the students motivation was dead long ago and it left an overall bad taste in my mouth, I felt robbed by the world... Cut to recently when I ended up re-watching this show and it hit me like a train. Though I'd seen it when I was still in band, I didn't think much of it besides the attention to detail was cool. But this time was different, it brought back so many suppressed emotions like a volcano erupting it was hard to bare but I couldn't stop watching and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I was considering making a video like this but I think you put these feelings into words better than I can so thank you....

Unrelated to Sound! Euphonium but I had the exact same reaction as you did, but with Your Lie in April. Used to play piano competitively, and scenes where the main character was struggling on stage were extremely hard to watch. I had to walk away and catch my breath, because it was illustrated to the point it was giving me my own flashbacks, which are pretty unbearable. Eventually had to quit because of those anxieties, and couldn't actually finish watching the show. So it's funny to hear someone had a similar reaction but with a different show- love your content :)

I totally get that! I used to play piano too (although not competitively) and I think Your Lie in April conveys what it feels like to play on stage really well. Showing Arima underwater is such a neat way of visualizing the feelings of anxiety when your muscle memory completely fails during a performance and you can’t get the piano to sound the way you want. That’s how that experience was for me at least

I'm not an emotionally unexpressive person - I definitely cry during sad movies - but this is the first time I've cried watching a video essay. This was very well-composed, and very moving.

incredible video bro hibike euphonium needs so much love.

Having played in a youth symphony, this video touched me in a very personal way. It's like it articulated all these thoughts and feelings I had about the subject I didn't even realize I had and I found myself getting emotional near the end. I can very safely say I share the feeling of how hard the show is to watch because of how visceral it feels. Though saying that, and even though I haven't played instruments since high school, I know in my heart I still love it. Thank you for making this video.

you've motivated me to rewatch this eventually by pointing out these details I've now had more experience with music (in a music school, wasn't when I watched it initially) and I wonder how much I'll pick up during a rewatch

Nice vid, thanks for making and sharing

This video really captures the essence of the series and it's incredible how many of us watched it in a particular moment of our lives. When I first started it, I immediatley noticed it would be different, as Kumiko, in the first episode, remarks how hear breast didn't grow as expected for a highschooler. I watched all of it and it was great, but I didn't really "get" the message. It still was an important stepdoor to Kyoto Animation, my favourite studio nowadays. After watching some video essays about Hibike, I the decided to give it a second shot and it changed everything. At that time, I had just started college. In highschool, I studied classical literature because I really loved Greek and Latin culture (I'm Italian btw) but I knew it wouldn't last, I knew I was going to study computer science and engineering, as I found those to be really interesting too. Reality wasn't as I expected: I started college, studied but I wasn't satisfied. Rewatching Hibike made me realise that I was missing the sparkle that classical literature always was to me, so, basically it made understand what I really loved and that I was wrong thinking that highschool studies had to end. Now, I'm in my third year in college, I just had my latin literature exam. It was hard but sooo fulfilling. All thanks to an anime that helped me get through life. Thanks, KyoAni

This is among my favorite videos on this platform. Please come back for Season 3, you’re an amazing creator.

This channel is amazing. The writing for this was so good it made me feel and relate to something I've never experienced

Sound euphonium inspired me to pick up the tuba. Its so weeb-ish and embarrassing to say, but now, as I’m considering going to university on Tuba, I have to admit that it completely changed my life. I’m so glad for it.

I'm inexperienced in many things I do and can only convey my thoughts simply. Nevertheless, I thought your video and the script you made is extremely well written. Few times do I connect with unique videos, and this video does exactly that. I appreciate you for sharing your thoughts, reflections, and analysis of yourself and the show. It was a wonderful experience to listen to, both your discussion and the music you included. I see this video as something spectacular and unique. The creation process for this video must've taken a long time, and I really appreciate that. Thank you...

this was such a heartfelt and well-written video. i love hearing people talk about the different reasons why they love what they love. this is so inspiring as someone who is writing the script for her own anime video essay right now. i'm two years late, but thank you so much for making this; it really spoke to me. ❤

I was in highschool band, and I was never particularly nostalgic about it, but when I watched this show it punched me in the face with memories from band out of nowhere because of how meticulously portrayed some of the details were lol. When I first heard the band play in the first episode I was practically teleported back to those days, nearly a decade ago, when my own inexperienced class tried playing a piece for the first time. You can just tell that the people working on this show really know about what they're depicting. Great video, I always love these kind of in-depth heart felt video essays, and you do them very well. I was genuinely surprised to see that the view count isn't higher and that you're not already a popular video essay channel with hundreds of thousands of subs, because your videos are well written, professionally polished, and very interesting to listen to.

Omg this was summed up so well. I feel almost the exact same way about the music playing and band in general

I think this is the most passionate youtube video I have seen in a while. I will probably not watch this show and forget it when i get to bed, but through this video I can just feel how nostalgic this feeling must have been when you watched this show. Thank you for sharing that experience with us in such a nice way...

Thank you for this video. Before watching this video this was already my favourite show but this just made me apprechiate this masterpiece even more.

You did it. You perfectly encapsulated what I loved about this anime.

The two parts of the video complement each other really well, this was really a well produced video! As someone who already experienced the two mindsets, and became self-aware too, it kinda hits even harder. And even harder yet considering the whole theme.

This is absolutely beautiful. I wasnt in a band, but was in choir so this also felt really close Thank you

Thank you

Wow, thank you so much for this video! Thanks to you i could remember what band was like

This video articulates a lot of my feelings about this show too! It's kinda weird being whisked back in time to a totally different atmosphere and feel. All the nostalgia, nerves, excitement... I think my lense is a little different and so is my conclusion, but a lot of the things we feel looking back are similar. Great video, thanks so much for putting it all into words.

Very very well done. It was insanely interesting and touching to listen to you observations and feelings. You made me tear up a bit Can't wait for season 3 :D

He truly is the man behind the slaughter

This video is fantastic and puts so many of my thoughts into a well-organized product. Thank you so much for this.

I didn't expected this ending... Nice that you're sharing your feelings. I love sound! Euphonium for all the details in it. I think many people who aren't in band or playing an instrument don't understand what a masterpiece this show is. It's always gonna be my all time favourite.

This was just so genuinely beautiful to me. Personally, I am actually in the time of my life in which the show takes place. With all the practice, auditions, and screw-ups (although this year kind of ruined that). I am in the midst of my "youth": a time in a which I freely do the things I can enjoy because I want to. This video showed me how special this time really is. I know that it isn't going to last, and I know that I'm not aiming to be a professional. You have shown me something that I can't experience yet through I show I have always loved and connected with. With all this being said, thank you for making this video. I will try my best to enjoy these next few years to the fullest!

Man, you last 4 videos(this one included) were about my 3 favorites anime of all time, and in all of them you nailed the reason i loved these anime so much. Hibike was really a special case, because despite never being interested in band, but appreciate music, i related to kumiko and the struggles in the show a lot, as well how was potrayed that time in Highschool that isn't going to last but still continue on it because of love and dedication. Sad to hear this relationship with the show you had made it unwatchable, but in a way is close to you on it's own. There's still one more season to be made, but in the waiting time, im glad this series is still talked!!! I loved this video, you almost made me cry remembering me why i love Hibike euphonium

Bro I watched this show not picking up on many beautiful elements you just mentioned,you literally opened my eyes. You perfectly desrcibed this masterpiece💜

this is a beautiful video and the editing is amazing! What a cool perspective on this show. I love it a lot too, but it wasn't exactly in the same way as you, and my love didn't hold quite as strong through season 2, whose message is less obvious. I'm happy to see it in a new light, especially Mamiko's character.

Amazing video that also gave me a minor existential crisis towards the end

I wasn't really interested in this anime at first because sadly i am not a musical person and thought that it would be something like k-on or your lie in April. But after watching a video talking about one of the characters and the details in the show that gives them a deep personality, i decided to give it a go. I was truly surprised by how well it's made, i love it for the reasons you stated in the video, it feels real and it has been a long time since i enjoyed watching an anime this much (my tolerance for anime with bad world building is gone now that i am older). Since i never played an instrument before it's totally watchable and gives me a good impression on how playing an instrument could be like.

Man I appreciate your thoughts on this masterpiece of a work. I can hear your emotion as you explain your love for this show and I agree with you. I feel the same way too watching the show, especially the second time around. I will admit, the one thing I totally overlooked is the world building. Anyways, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Beautiful analysis. Thanks

This video is so extremely good! I'm a little lost for words because of how good it is.

Greatest recommendation ever, youtube algorithm. Your conclusion at the end...made me cry. I watched this anime when it came out, and was too young to understand I was still in the good ol' days. I am going through your conflict right now - but in college. I actually left my first seat in orchestra because the same sentiment that it wouldn't benefit me after in high school. But now, in college, I have been dancing since my Freshman year, and even took over the director position for a year. Graduating soon, this will have no benefit for me. And people still ask me, "why are you still dancing?" in both jest and serious inquiry. And you hit the nail on the fucking head. I just...like it. All of it. The good, the bad, and the ugly side of pursuing anything that takes a lot of work to master. Don't know why I wrote all that out in a youtube comment section. Thank you for the video. It's not easy making a 23-minute video essay.

I love that you mentioned the audition between Kaori and Reina. It's so true. Most people who watch this will know 0 things about brass instruments, yet I just know Reina was better. If you asked me what was better about it, I wouldn't have a clue. I just know that it was. It's easy to contrast good and bad. But what they do is contrast between good and better.
