This scene alone put this anime in my top 5. It's really hard to capture what it's really like to say goodbye to your best friends like that, but this anime did that and everything leading up to it perfectly. It also captured how important those people become in all of our subsequent actions with that last line "I'll never forget how warm it sounds" in reference to Kumiko's desire to let Asuka live and play vicariously through her. All of this following some of the most emotionally impactful musical performances I've seen in real life or in entertainment(namely Asuka's solo performance of Sound! Euphonium in one of the prior episodes). Drama is only negative if it doesn't make you cry, and you're lying if you said this scene doesn't make you cry. Worth every second of watch time just to get to this moment.

100% agreeable. Also, crying foes not always mean that you are sad, but it's a mixture of so many feelings I've seen so many anime with graduation ceremonies, but HE, this scene more specifically comes at the very top!

agree, tho. a shock effect making one "cry" doesn't necessitate the drama being of a high pedigree rather it is often the reverse exploiting section of a fanbase with subpar writing

The way Asuka puts her hands down after Kumiko said she didn't like her, and her expression looked genuinely hurt. After wiping a tear from her eye, she proceeds to put on that happy front that she always had, until Kumiko says that she likes her, which catches her off guard. So much attention to detail in just a few minutes

I love asuka and kumiko's relationship dynamic....the fact that this arc also has mamiko's past revealed i feel like kumiko saw asuka as the big sister that she always wanted to play with since kumiko never got the chance to play with her real sister. With all the acting like an adult and saying they know everything even tho mamiko and asuka are both just high schoolers too. And now, kumiko barely fixed her relationship with mamiko and barely got close with asuka, but kumiko's gonna be left alone again cuz asuka is graduating and mamiko is off to her own new path...i feel so bad and sad im gonna cry again LMAO I'm gonna miss their interactions :'(

It might make more sense in the book for Kumiko to be with Shuichi in the end, but I much prefer this version of the anime. No it's not because I think Kumiko wants to be in a relationship with Asuka, but because it's just so damn perfect. Hieko Yamada made it clear she wanted to show a genuine relationship with girls, not a traditional Yuri like some would argue, and this scene proves it. It still gets me everytime when she says I love you, and we see Asuka's reaction...

Thing is, there was never any Yuri to begin with. Just really meaning friendships and bonds based on camaraderie. Asuka really help Kumiko grow as a person, so it only makes sense she would find a deep admiration for her upperclassman, and that feeling is far more meaningful and relatable to me than the fetishized lesbian relationships people call "yuri". But don't you worry, Shuichi is going to have his moment. It wouldn't make sense for it to happen in the show, because there were only hints of his relationship with Kumiko and how she felt about him. So yeah, this ending was fantastic and I love it.
@0DRippinG5 жыл бұрын
The only problem I see with Kumiko's and Shuichi's relationship is that it seems kind of out of place for a series that talks about friendship or love between females the way it does,it just didn't seem fitting that in the end Kumiko would choose to be with her male childhood friend.They have chemistry,but seems to be more like a real friendship thing than a romance,due to how different Kumiko acts around people she could actually like, such as Reina or Asuka,even when she has a lot of admiration for them.

Seriously, the movie about kumiko's second year is an answer to 3:23 "I want to play like you". Such an impactful line here to connect the stories, and the answer is there at the beginning and the end of the movie when Kumiko plays the song "hibike euphonium", by the fact that she has improved so much. And the question is raised again that is it worth it to put so much time and effort on sth that does not guarantee return and surely it might not be the most significant thing in your life in the long term, then what's the meaning behind all this? But at the end of the day, isn't that motivation like "i want to play like you" be enough to just do sth you want to achieve? Anyway, I love it, this anime brings us to the journey of discovering Kumiko's passion for euphonium, regardless is it meaningful or not, she is getting closer to the person she wants to be. In this sense, I think her story is relatable to many ppl, or at least inspiring ppl to think more or less about their passion.

The last scene in this episode and episode 9 are so so well done! The animation, environment & most importantly the music. It’s hard for me to believe that Asuka who is only the supporting character would leave such a big impact for me at least. The last time i felt this way (longing feeling) was after watching the last episode of Your lie in april. I really wish we could see more of Kumiko & Asuka interactions (apart from the reunion in second year movie & that visiting part in the third year). Thank you Ayano Takeda & KyoAni!

I’m glad I found this anime. It’s quickly climbed to be one of my favourite anime - maybe even my favourite. It’s made me laugh, cry, and everything in between. I was shocked to see Taki silently remove Kumiko from the Euph section, and then bring her back on as he saw her determination. I cried whenever Kumiko broke into tears, and I relate to this ending. I’ve been in that situation both ways, and it’s painful both ways too. I tend to not say goodbyes, because I hate goodbyes. And as somebody who thrives off of music, I was really really glad I found this anime. I don’t know about you but I kinda wanna play the euphonium even though I’m better at piano

We all have someone we love, hate, envy or admire like Asuka. This is why this scene touched so many people. I hope the 3rd season will have some scenes with Asuka. I want to see her saying she's proud of Kumiko, crying, and being given the best hug ever, in front of all the other members of the band, even if it for one scene, or a moment...even for a few seconds... just a few seconds.... Asuka cannot just leave like that. Not like that !

Asuka was my favorite character but Asuka became like the most tragic anime character in terms of character development (which isn't a bad thing). She never really trusts others and breaks out of her shell. She does obviously care for others but is unwilling to open up even until the very end. She sort of does with Kumiko only because she is able to read her and see the truth, but even then Asuka keeps things brief and avoids being honest. It's pretty sad and I've never seen an anime character like this before. It's so well written and you can't help but feel bad for how much she hides and covers up about her personal feelings.

There is a double meaning in the name of "Sound! Euphonium". Asuka said that Kumiko is an Euphonium girl and compared her to Euphonium. And "Sound" means to open up. So, Sound! Euphonium name is telling Kumiko to open up about her feelings and what she truely wants.
