MAL喷的可真情实感了
Kyoto animations have absolutely fumbled this series, there are of course unforseen events and things that have lead to this unsatisfactory conclusion but the mishandling of characters and Events have unfortunately lead them with no other choice than to stray from the satisfying canon. Not giving enough screentime to flesh out characters and relationships, focusing on characters no one cares about and setting us up with mayu who has done nothing all season due to lack of episodes yet we're expected to happily go along with her winning the soli when she isn't even supposed to in the source material? No one cares for the second years because the movie gave us no time to care. Season 1 and 2 of hibike euphonium will always have a place in my heart, they're what this series is when done correctly. Each school year should have been 26ish episodes, this series could have flourished and been a perfect adaptation. I'm just so disappointed with the direction kyoani took this and with the soli blunder for literally no reason.
The 1 is for there only being one reason for you to watch this far into hibike euphonium which is the stunning animation. Just know that everything you watch from episode 11 may as well be a Re:zero IF route. Kumiko won.
Reviewer’s Rating: 1 The third season was ruined from the moment a transfer student joined. This bitch kept asking Kumiko if she should give up competing, but clearly, she never thought of quitting. So why did she keep asking then? If she wanted to quit, she could have done it anytime. What was she trying to prove by asking these stupid questions multiple times? To show her kindness? Innocence? I don't get it. This kind of hypocritical personality is just disgusting. Imagine poor Kumiko having to listen to her bullshit for a whole year while holding back the anger not to slap this mayonnaise bitch deep inside. Despite being introduced in a jarringly unpleasant manner, they force a redemption arc at the end where Mayu recalls her experiences and opens up to Kumiko, trying to justify her twisted and contradictory character. This attempt to sugarcoat her character is cringe af.
Then in episode 12, there is a class vote on soli. The vote ended in a tie, and Reina cast the deciding vote. Knowing that which was Kumiko's play (which Reina admit it later), she heartlessly eliminated her own friend. So after all the times she told Kumiko she wanted to play together, when she have a chance to decide, and she chose this? Just so you know, the audience vote was split 50/50, meaning both were equally good. There wasn't a huge gap like it'd ruin the whole performance if Kumiko did the soli. Even if Reina had the slightest desire to play with Kumiko, she would have chosen lil Kumiko, but she didn't.
I don't understand why the Kyoto decided to hard push this so-called "aesthetics of regret" on this episode. Not sure what Kyoto trying to express. Are you aiming to show the harsh reality in the work? If we're really talking about realism, they should have lost during the Kansai competition already. Can Kumiko's motivational speech in the last minute save a team that's been collapsed in reality? Lol. And now you're trying to sell me this BS plot where Kumiko, even if she plays at the same level as NPC, has to be a loser just for your cringe harsh reality plot need? Taking away Kumiko's rightful achievements in the light novel to push a storyline about meritocratic regret is an extremely exaggerated, arrogant and lazy adaptation.
All it does is show that Kumiko and Reina's three-year friendship and performance chemistry mean nothing compared to a NPC. Also I don't know about others, but before the results were announced, I honestly felt the second performance was better. So, what was Reina's criteria for not choosing Kumiko? Or is it just obvious that this is some forced BS plot? or to make the audience felt again the same old melodramatic plot already repeated in the first season? In this last season? Really? Do you have something new?
And the utterly useless and incompetent teacher. When the club faces internal pressure before Kansai competition, you as an **, don't step up to say a word, pushing everything onto Kumiko and letting the club fend for itself. Kumiko has to shoulder everything on her own, and then there's Reina, only makes things worse in managing the club with zero EQ. It's funny when facing a controversial situation, Reina would always speak up for her beloved teacher, trust him and simp brainlessly, but when came to when both player are equally good, she has zero trust, zero sense that her music bestie, who has been training together with her all the time, can perform better than a NPC in the final. Reina what are you smoking in this season?
At the very least, if Kyoto Animation really wanted to emphasize the performance gap and meritocratic ideology, and have Kumiko realize she's still not as good as Mayo, they could have had the teacher choose Mayo directly in the first place. Isn't he a music expert can make decision? The way he dumped this mess on the students, making them vote to handle it, made him look like a awful teacher. Anyhow, it would have been much better than holding this ridiculous mass voting, resulting in a tie and then Kumiko losing for no reason. This is an insult.
In the last Kansai competition, Taki chose Mayu over Kumiko because he was certain Mayu's skills were superior, which made sense and was reasonable. However, this time it's different. When both are of the same level, if Taki were wise enough, he would decisively choose Kumiko to avoid affecting team morale. In big competitions, especially finals, morale is more important than that 0.01 point. Not to say having a mass vote and putting that controversial result's pressure on the team member. I think that's a major failure as a music teacher.
Obviously, Hanada created this scenario just so there would be a plot where Reina could prove she remains as the "special one" by eliminating her friend in this way, and nothing more. Poor Kumiko... Kyoto really did you dirty there. And I believe a lot of people will start waving the "deep and meaningful realism" flag, convincing themselves and everyone else to swallow this bullshit too, as happens with most melodramatic anime.
After eliminating Kumiko, Reina didn't even offer any comfort on the spot. Instead, she ran up the mountain real quick like it's the best time for exercise. Then start reminisced about not betraying vows to justify this ugly plot. And then Kumiko, despite being sad, still had to climb the stupid mountain way up tired like a dog just to comfort Reina, telling her it's okay. Is this a joke? Kumiko I thought you went up real quick was bout to beat the hell out of this fake bestie with your knucks ready? Then they both cried together with the most beautiful animation I've seen this year, making it look like a beautifully wrapped piece of chocolate that turns out to be a pile of shit when you actually taste it. What weed did Hanada smoke to write such a disgusting storyline, or am I too old for this shit?
Overall, the third season undeniably excels in both animation and voice acting, but the many contrived conflicts created just to spark drama feel tiresome. Tbh, this narrative technique has become stale. It might have felt fresh in the first and second seasons, but continuing the same approach in the last season, trying to make the audience experience the same kind of conflict again, is boring. Just because Reina previously vow to Kumiko, it means that this season Kumiko must be the sacrificial lamb for that promise to supposedly achieve so called character development and a climactic moment.
Imo, this kind of twisted character development is extremely shallow because it implies that no matter how hard Kumiko tries, it's pointless, as it is dictated by the superficial realism melodramatic plot. It's forced by the plot and does not develop naturally. They use this clichéd aesthetic of regret to say that Kumiko has grown after going through all this, forcing her to become a saint who completes everyone else, except herself.
