We’re just hours away from the end of Kumiko’s story.
I might wake up early just for this
https://youtu.be/YmE6peWUP7Ykumikobros, there's no shame to losing someone like this
Post your BEST kumis from over the yearsScreengrabs, fan art, etc.If you have a GOOD KUMI saved I WANT TO SEE ITthis is a KUMIPOSTING THREAD
So is it gonna be het or homo ending?
>leaks say no anime-original yuri endI really hope the threads don't turn into a Yorukura 2.0 or even a GBC 2.0.
>>268285551
>>268285429>the end of Kumiko’s story.Wasn't there supposed to be some kind of sequel or spin-off novel this year?>>268285553If leaks are accurate, it will be neither. No Kumiko-Shoe end, but all traces of yuri ends have been eliminated either.
fluffyko
>>268285429Kumiko's story doesn't end until Kumiko dies.
>ETA 5 hrs till Kumiko-Shuichi confession scene gets omitted
>>268285575>it will be neitherWhy would they do something that would satisfy literally no one
>>268285681It's the safest option.
Happy birthday to Kitauji's freckled SNACK
Hairpinchads, are we hyped?
>>268285699If they were aiming for the safest route why did they make those risky changes in ep 12
>>268285726Happy birthday to future president Ririka, proud protégé of Mizore
>>268285551>Post your BEST kumis
Kumiko will never receive the adulation, the acknowledgement of the audience. She will be a faceless mob in the band that brings home gold. Kumiko is taki-sensei's fluffy protector, a brass knight. Reina who loves Taki will then go abroad to become a jazz sensation in America, while Mayu catches the eye of a yakuza billionaire and is proposed to on the spot.
L/a/ds I don't know if I can handle tomorrow. I can't think of any other show I've followed (however sporadically) for NINE YEARS.I got my first real, stable full-time.job during Season 1.I visited Uji during Season 2.I saw Chika no Finale in an American theater (and only learned about the showing from /a/) just days before half the people who made it were gruesome murdered.I visited Uji again days before Season 3 began.I feel like a long segment of my life is about to close... but it isn't, because once Kumiko's gone I'll still be here.
>>268285758there's should be a bingo card for kumiko noises for the final episode
>>268285551This will be me in 24 hours.
REMEMBER no Shuuichi scene means YURI WON.
>>268285810Kumiko love story with shoeichi movie soon, yuricucks
Yayoi deserves more screen time. I miss her :3 and dumb Yayoi period jokes
Anyone else hyped for Hag Kumiko? She’s gonna be caked up with makeup and thick lipstick.
Asuka held too much power during her reign as vice president. Haruka was basically a puppet president. She also passed down too many dumb traditions in the club and bass section.
>>268285860im excited i bet she will be super cute and i proudly love hags
>>268285429Does Natsuki confess to Yuko in the novels? Yuko to Natsuki? Are these two gay for each other like actually end up in a real relationship the novels? I must know
>>268285681it would satisfy me because this show isn't about romance. can't wait to see yurishitters and hetshitters cry
>>268285967It doesn't need to be about romance to show characters doing normal things outside playing music like getting a partner. It just makes the characters more rounded.
Regardless what happens Im still shipping Kumiko x Reina. Majority of the fanbase and Japan itself will do so too.
is it confirmed that Miichan will be drum major?
>>268286049Are you afraid of the ending, yurikek?
Shuuichi seen Reina house before Kumiko, and Kumiko rode on Taki sensei car before Reina, what a world…
I just came back from a party and realized when I wake up the episode has prob already aired
>>268285429>KWABmikoLol lmao even
>>268285967I'm not looking forward to it. They'll be shitting up the threads tomorrow and running any real discussion.
>>268286202Kumiko What A Buchou
At this point it's obvious we just want to hear the orchestral piece and then go home with a nice OST, right? Right?
>>268286229They're going to skip the performance lol. They will skip everything anyone cares about and just show random crap
>>268286038kumiko hasn't shown real interest in shuichi even once. making them get together would feel forced and out of place
Ririka's voice is addicting to listen to
>>268286038>to show characters doing normal things outside playing music likeLike kumiko masturbating to pornKumiko, after a stressful day of being buchou, comes home and shlicks it furiously until she passes out.or show her doing drugs to deal with stress, and how that made her lose to mayu!
>>268286280that's too far man, you gotta tone it down a notch. seeing her smoking a ciggie and talking about boys with her gfs is good enough
the show could use more of her dumb jokes
I miss Grumpy-chan
>>268286280>or show her doing drugs to deal with stress, and how that made her lose to mayu!would have made more sense
>>268286260They literally got together in that movie. Kumiko even got jealous when shoe interacted with other girls.For some reason, kyoani decided to cut all shoe x kumiko moments in this season and romanticized kumiko x reina moments. So they better go for yuri end instead of whatever cop out ending they're planning. Playing it safe is not kyoani.
>>268286349I cant believe Suzume got more screentime compared to her. I was sure Yayoi was the leader of the group when they were first introduced.
>>268286406>So they better go for yuri end instead of whatever cop out ending they're planningSorry to be the bearer of bad news...
Mayu just feels too one note. They should've fleshed her out more. Every time she appears on screen, she just asks that same question again and again to kumiko. It feels like she doesn't exist beyond that.
>>268286419Suzume is just loud
>24 minutes left to cover everythingThis is going to be a disaster and we all know it.Unless there's going to be a movie?
>>268286450pacing seemed to be an issue this season. it would've benefited splitting into 2 seasons like their 1st year. the characters, main and side, would be more flesh out and we would have more music.
If reina really love taki she shouldn't expect him to fuck her because that will destroy taki's life if the word gets around
rare namori kumiko
Kumiko and Mayu would've been best friends had Kumiko agreed to go to Agata matsuri with her.
is it possible that Taki is not as decisive this season because of the 3 auditions? Shoe brought it up as a concern and he just brushed it off.
>>268286471All they need to show is them performing at the finals, a scene showing anticipating for results, a scene showing them celebrating their win, a scene where reina and kumiko do gay shit, time skip followed by a montage scene showing a day in the life of main characters after 5 yearsThat's literally it
>>268285429Where can I watch the finale live?
>>268286614I feel like he kinda lost confidence after losing previous two years
>>268286615That sounds incredibly anticlimactic. 24 minutes isn't even enough to cover the first two items without seeming like an incredibly rushed highlights reel.
>>268286666make sense. I'm rewatching season 3 right now and there are a lot of mention of "this didn't work last year. we need to shake things up in order to finally win this year."
Please reina...I beg you...please don't go to America...
>>268286502It'll be okay once she graduates I think.
>>268286703This is so retarded. Why would she go to fucking USA instead of france or austria if her aim is to study music?
>4 hours until episode airsHow long after airing do we get it again? If it's quick I might stay up for this.
>>268286768Because English is hard enough but there's 0 chance reina knows any french or german.
>>268286768She is into black music
>>268286406they romanticized kumiko and reina moments since s1 yet neither ever implied they like each other romantically. yuri ending would be out of place too
>>268286768because it's not the 15th - 19th centuries anymore. Juilliard is the best music school in the world currently.
>>268286834Reina has been acting like someone in love with Kumiko this season. Just look at how bashful she gets when she invites Kumiko to her house or when she reminds Kumiko of their date promise. The way she wants to spend time with Kumiko and worries about her disappearing from her life. It all feels like a setup for yuri's ending.
>>268286078>Makes Kumiko cryDumb bitch
Honestly bros I didn't like this season at all, I don't know how it is in the LN but I feel like literally NOTHING happened this season except for the last episode.I watched the 1st and 2nd season again it's amazing how much happened in such a short time, little arcs that focused on various characters while building up the main plot.Even the movie managed to do this in less time!This season was really disappointing for me.
>>268285728I think we get the hairpin scene but not the confession.
I'm not even a yurifag I just think shuu is uncharismatic and unlikeable
>>268286982bro she literally has a crush on Taki
>>268287098You're uncharismatic and unlikeable
>>268287033I don't hate it but I feel similarly that it doesn't seem like much happens. And I see quite a few people saying this season is great, which I don't understand at all. Feels like they're saying that just because it's more Hibike and Kyoani.
>>268287112Two things can be true at the same time.
>>268287126It's 2/5 slop but with high production values. Simple as that. This is what Hibike has always been other than Liz and a few moments in S1
>>268286982This. Reina acts like a jealous girlfriend whenever she’s with Kumiko.KumiRei ending or we riot!
>>268287163season 1 is consistently good you ugly moron
which music school is Reina going to? my guess is Colburn, Berklee, or Juilliard
>>268287163I've never been the biggest Hibike fan (though I did like Liz quite a bit and agree it's the best the series gets) but there is a clear difference between this season and the first two. This season has the same issue the movie has where it has trash pacing. This season is a bit better than the movie but not by much.
>>268287126I thought this season was good but I rewatched all the episodes again and now I think it's the best one. I think the last episode made the difference, knowing what will happen with kumiko makes the show hit different when you rewatch it
I can completely forgive the poor pacing considering, you know, what happened
Kumiko's worst interation with Mayu was this scene.
>>268286834>they romanticized kumiko and reina moments since s1 yet neither ever implied they like each other romantically. yuri ending would be out of place tooSeiyuus do not think like that anon
Shuuichi won
Mayu knew they only need 2 euphos
>>268287298the one on the stairs was worse
Are there even any straight girls in this show lol
To be honest, right now I'm more into kanakumi than kumirei.
>>268287435Most of them are straight
>>268287497You're a stupid yurifag but reina is a selfish bitch and always has been and we can agree on that
the moment Mayu decides to go all out against Kumiko
>>268286631Japan.
I can't believe it's all over tonight and we're going to be discussing the ending right here in 4 hours.
>>268287390Mayu truly knows what Taki sensei likes.
gomen bros but I'm not waking up at 5 AM to watch the finale. I'll join in the discussion 2 hours later. good night
leak from the previous thread.Taki won
>>268287717>giving him a handkerchiefWhy do anime fans read so much into insignificant actions? It's like they're starved for meaning
kumiko idolizeds asuka too much
I'm excited for them to revisit the opener of episode 1 which is clearly set in the future.Kumiko-sensei!
>>268287435she's dating shoe's manlet friend
>>268287717The whole band ships Taki-Reina.
>>268287717I bet she wont wash it and masturbates to it regularly while she’s in America.
I like how whenever Kumiko lies, they only show part of her face.
Reina isn't wrong about anything but she's a charisma vacuum so everything she says is rude and sounds wrong. She should have learn how to be a bitch and still make people respect you like Asuka.
Can't wait for the yurifag seethe when shoe wins today
>>268288101He already won. >>268286094
I’m still seething Kumiko bros.
did Asuka never give Kumiko her contact information besides her address?
3 more hours
Shoe ends up with hazuki
If it airs in three hours and subs are usually a few hours after that, what the fuck do I do in the meantime?
>>268288334I wish.
>>268288336Learn Japanese
Kumiko is such a loveable dork
If they don't win the gold medal again, I'm gonna ragequit the internet for the rest of the day.
>>268288526Is she straight?
>>268285832You might be the only one other than me who misses this
Mizore is actually a music prodigy. considering she only picked up the oboe because someone told her to
>>268288548probably
>>268287298Teach Kaho, love Kaho, train Kaho, amuse Kaho with your jokes, marry Kaho
Kyoani...please deliver
happy mayu is a blessed sight
>>268285429Yuritroons evacuate, Shu-Qaeda will crash into yuri towers in under 3 hours.
Honestly this is 4chan history. This is like the super bowl of het vs yuri.
I can't wait for mayu smiles. Gonna be the anon that posts Mayu while everyone argues about shoe ad infinitum.
shuu confession ending would feel especially weird with how little shuu has been present in S3
Tick tock tick tock tick tock
>>268288876He already confessed in the movie
>>268288871Does her ribbon get bigger as she gains more power?
Kumiko's speech at the end of episode 12 was so much better than her previous one.
>>268288526>>268288548For me.
>>268286349Her bandana is so ugly
>>268287033I agree, it really felt like it was spinning its wheels with the whole soli thing, it became really repetitive and boring
>>268287717Wait, did all the senpais show up to watch? Is my nigga Goto there?
>>268287497Based
>>268287717Remember when these two hated each other?
Cannot wait for her spinoff as buchou
>>268288896Wrong confession retard
>>268288876They literally date in the movie
>>268289120Ririka deserves the world
>>268289167and then what happens
>>268289203The split up because Kumiko wanted to focus on band shit, now the band shit will be over.
>>268289203Kumiko decides to prioritize club activities until graduation. Kumiko and shoe ending up together is a forgone conclusion.
Maybe it's because his personality doesn't contrast as sharply with Kumiko's, but Shuichi feels really irrelevant as a VP compared to Natsuki (who tardwrangled Yuuko) and Asuka (who needed to be tardwrangled by Haruka).
>>268289262Kyoanus deliberately sabotaging his screen time
2 more hours.
True ending
>being unfaithful to the source material bad>except when it's to make it more yuri than the source material and downplaying male characters, in which case /a/ loves it and welcomes itWhat did /a/ mean by this?
>>268289323this is the ending I want. these two should rub their fat pussies together to relieve of their awkward tension all season
>>268289323BASED BASED BASED BAAAASED
>>268288876Lol
>>268289342Kyoani is known for being unfaithful to source material. I doubt most people on /a/ have ever really given a shit about the Hibike LNs to begin with too.

>>268289941blame me for being one of them - need to give takeda more money to write a short story collection every few years
>>268289883if it helps, I've been in the mindset that everything after s2 wasn't expected to be adapted, so I think of them as bonus content we never should have got. That way, im not say goodbye to anything, it's just that there's no more bonus stuff that i wasn't even expecting

why's hibike even on this channel? the show seemed way too mature for the target demographic based on the other shows I'm watching right now.
Anyone got a collection of rare Kumikos? It's your last chance to post 'em.
They're really airing the series finale of Hibike! Euphonium after this episode of "Race Boat Amusement Park"?
>>268290075there's no way they can satisfyingly wrap up the competition, kumiko and reinas friendship, the relationship with shuuichi AND the reina/taki thing in 20 minutes right? wtf are they thinking?

SO what was the point of these 2? Why are they in all promo material and sing the endings when they have been less important than other 6-7 characters? is it because they needed 4 girls since its the general rule of cgdct show?
here's your finale bro

What a terrible finale
They didn't want to upset the yuri crowd I guess
So who won?
Holy fucking shit that was so disappointing, they couldn't fully animate the performance and had to to dump a shit ton of flashbacks. Kyoani is dead.
>>268291420SING ALONG WITH ME BOYSWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEARE THE CHAMPIONS
>>268291494Isn't that what /a/ wanted? I know /a/ hated Shoe.
>>268291428Something around an 8.5, will probably go up with time
>>268291340>>268291301notice how Kumiko is wearing her skirt super long here instead of how short she is usually wearing it?
>>268291501>they couldn't fully animate the performanceRemember K-On S1? This is par for the course.
Did they skip the soli NTR?
I'm mad. more than half the episode was flashbacks and they skipped their first song. I'm lost for words right now.
>>268291495Yuribros forced Kyoani to omit the confession so I guess they won.
What was with Natsuki's ojii-san lookin ass fit
>>268291457You will have to wait until the movie to find out
WE CELEBRATING BOYShttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ4qrcHyYj4
>>268291428Definitely like a 5/10 only redeemed by the 2nd to last episode, but I have to wonder if it's also reflective of how bad the novels got. It seems like the author didn't have much good material after Year 1, especially with how much they had to rework Year 3 and from what I heard of the synopsis, rightly so.
>>268291442>10 years or something have passed>she still carries the hairpin on her daily teacher folderWhat do you think? If her and Shoe weren't in a relationship why carry that thing around anymore? It's pretty obvious what this states. Anyone who says otherwise is in ultimate copemode. It's basically their wedding ring, that's what it was framed as.I mean, what's the cope here gonna be?>S-she just f-f-finds it p-p-pretty so she still c-c-carries it around
>>268291480>>268291472>>268291502>>268291539>>268291540This cuck in cope mode now
>>268291428I am a sucker for a montage, but I feel like it doesn't really address anything like the lingering questions about succession, reina & kumiko, or how mayu fits into all of this, or taki and reina or where the fuck was asuka.I'd give it an 8. As far as rushed endings go, it's the best possible example. But it was fundamentally a rushed ending and there's no getting around that.
>>268291527They always skipped the first song
>Skip the confession>keep the hairpin anywayswhat's the point in skipping it then ?
So let me get this straight. So they didn't have Shoe confess onscreen, but the fact that she still has the hairpin means they still got together offscreen?
>>268291534they wrote themselves to a corner, it'd be weird after they cut out so many shoe1 content. it has nothing to do with yurisisters
>>268291546It's up to interpretation until the director confirms it. They did omit the confession for a reason.
I didn't watch this season yet but can already tell it's shit. Will need an epilogue ova to fix the ending.
>>268291561They probably didn't want yuri fans to go Shinji Aoba
/u/ is now under quarantine after the loss. Mods are desperately trying to contain tge situation but are failing.
>no confession scene>shoe did nothing in the finale>kumiko doesn't even wear the hairpin in the timeskipYou call this a win, hetniggers?
>>268291409nice push-up Kumiko
>>268291567Then why did they de-emphasize Shoe and emphasize the yuri in the first place?
>>268291562nyes
>>268291561What confessionThey just put their relationship on hold for a year to focus on club shit
>dislike Mayu because she made Kumiko cry and lose>but she's voiced by my seiyuufuI have mixed signals here
>>268291588Are you blind or just retarded? >>268291420
>>268291585there isn't a single post about it
>>268291588Not even a hetshipper but why even include the hairpin if it doesn't mean anything?
>in the band and perform>doesn't get past regionals>late to watch>kitauji wins goldwhat did kyoani mean by this?
where's the part where Reina got addicted to drugs and sex in america
>>268291615Mods have already clamped down on threads since it's off topic now.
Kumiko and Shuu Nationals Victory High sex
>>268291613To be fair there's a difference between wearing the hairpin and simply having it. Simply having it does still raise multiple questions though.
>>268291577Yea they did, cause it would have cost them time, you mouthbreathing ape. LOL, this guy is seriously trying to pretend that this is ambiguous. It is not. It's very clear, and anybody with basic media literacy doesnt need a confession when the allegorical wedding ring is still worn by the protagonist X years into the future. I feel genuinely sorry for you.
>>268291558not to this extend. I think season 1 they skipped like 15%. unless "Scherzando" is a short song, they showed like one minute at most.
Oh no no no yurisisters where's the anime original ending!
>>268291638How the fuck is the hairpin a wedding ring then?
>>268291420>doesn't even wear the hairpinOH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO, SHOEBROS....
I know it probably sounds silly but I reared up during the montage. I really love all these characters.
>>268291588Of course she's not wearing it. It looks retarded. Can you imagine a teacher character wearing a sunflower hairpin? Makes you look like a child.
>>268291652Also Kumiko still retains her family name. So it's an open-ended ending.
>>268291658Based horse
>>268291658so cheap, but gets me everytime, kyoani gets a pass, they can do whatever they want to me

>>268291658>reared up
>>268291674Eh, it doesn't necessarily mean they're still not a couple. They could still be dating, they just haven't married yet, assuming they actually did end up together.

>>268291693someone should shop it
CRESCENT MOON DANCE STILL REMAINS SUPREME.FUCKING KNEEL.
>>268291693they are not married bro
>backed up by the novel yet shoe still managed to loseBRAVO KYOANIIIIII
desu they should have replaced sapphire and hazuki with mayu and kanade
>>268291650It's allegorical for one. How is this so hard to understand? You give it, it gets rejected because "muh other priorities" and then 10 years into the future its suddenly being "worn". This isn't hard to understand. Of course a teacher wont literally wear a sunflower hairpin, theyd lose all respect. Pray tell copeman2000: Why do you carry around a confession hairpin/allegorical wedding ring like this and attach it to a folder you use in a professional environment if it isnt allegorical for a wedding ring?
>>268291693Did she pick this up from Taki?
>>268291693wait a minute isn't that the same watch as Taki's???
It's over yurisisters...
kanade might not be buchou, but there's never been a better apex predator to senpais than her
>>268291693Was there a wedding ring in the LN?>>268291701Hetfags and yurifags are both coping right now. The ending, in trying to please everyone, ended up pissing off both of them. Hetfags didn't get their Shoe confession, and yurifags are seething that Kumiko still has the hairpin.
>>268291693When will you self-inserts learn that Yuri Always Win?
>>268290068I want to whisper sweet, erotic things directly next to Kanade's ear while patting her head
So what was Kumiko/Reina's final scene? Doesn't even have to be yuri, I just want it to be good
>>268291658same here anon
So it's over? No more Hibike ever?
If there's anything this season proved, it's that yuri truly is /a/'s favorite genre to the point that /a/ actually roots for yuri to succeed and every other genre (het, yaoi, isekai, action, shonen, etc.) to fail. For /a/, anything can be forgiven as long as it's yuri.
Did Shoe at least had a line in the last episode?
>>268291746Nobody is seething though. I am sorry Anon but the ending is very clear. You need to literally pretend to be retarded to not get it.
>>268290853>PAST DECADEGoddamn it really has been that long
>>268291767There's still the Okinawa book right? Maybe that can get an OVA down the line.
>>268291746>Hetfags didn't get their Shoe confessionBro had already confessed in the movie and kumiko reciprocated. They just decided to not date until graduation. Cope more
>>268291776Then why are anons here insisting that Shoe lost?
>>268290813What show? Please describe the plot.
>all these 8+ ratings for the seasonAre we just all blinded by the sentiment built up by the previous seasons and movies or something? That was a weak ass payoff where they basically cashed in on all the positive emotions of the entire series to save on animation.
Hans, get the jerry can
kumirei won!
>>268290853It really has been a lot of fun.
>>268291756Kumiko instructing and Reina conducting the Kitauji band. I didn't expect Reina as a conductor but I probably should have
>>268291775He was there supporting kimiko during the result announcement like a good husband
MVP. GOAT. SOMEONE GET THE PHYSIO FOR HER BACK
>>268291774It's easy to self insert into yurishit for these limp wristed sissies
>>268291794Getting your scenes cut to satisfy yurifags is losing
>>268291800It sticked to landing, aside from fake yurifag seethe, It was a decent goodbye, you can rarely say that about a long running anime.
It wasn't a great season but man........I love Kumiko and everyone else so damn much...........
>>268291808you're trying too hard.
>>268291818Thats not reina bro...
>>268291837Thank you so much Kyoani.Thank you, /a/.
>>268291799
>>268291340They fuck raw that night
>reina is still in America even after time skip>shoe's hairpinYurishit is just not possible given these conditions
>>268291791Post WebM or it didn't happen.
>tfw we're not geting anymore of this cutie
>>268291315>>268291338I prefer "we did Chihiro-san"
The fuck are you talking aboutIt's quite literally herAm I crazy?
Context for the hairpin is >>268289152.The hairpin proves this scene happened off screen and the novel canon of>they start dating>take a break from dating because of band>resume dating after Kumiko confesses to Shuu and takes the hairband backis also anime canon.Fin.That's it. I can't believe we've been shitposting about this for all these years.Yurifags lost. GG rest in dogshit.Where's the next het vs yuri battlefield? Will anything ever compare to this?
>>268291885>>268291845Look at her eyebrows and bangs. And I am pretty sure she was wearing a student uniform.
>One (1) arson wasn't enough
>>268291873Go watch the movie, retard https://youtu.be/WIX1uHdAq-0https://youtu.be/UhslWIrWhLk
>>268291523Yeah, well remember Hibike S1?
>>268291896I didn't see it = didn't happenTotal Yuri Victory
>>268291852SOUL
Okay, here's what I don't get. Why are anons insisting that just because Kumiko is still Kumiko Oumae means Shoe lost? The most it does is keep their relationship ambiguous but it doesn't prove that they broke up or didn't get together. It could simply mean they are together but aren't married yet, but without the anime ending confirming that it's also only speculation. The most we know is that their status is ambiguous but that by itself doesn't rule out them still being a couple. If it weren't for the hairpin then maybe the "they didn't get together!" people would have a point but that's not the point. I'm not even a Shoefag and I don't have a horse in this race, I don't care if the series had a het end or a yuri end, but can't people use their brains for once?
What's this insane yurifag copekumiko gave that hairpin back to shoeThe fact that she now holds it even after all those years means they resumed dating, and shoe gave it to kumiko again.
>>268291593It's what Takeda wanted. The story is about Kumiko and Reina, the two main leads.
My one regret is getting into hibike after S2, I caught up in 2019 so I missed when the good times
>>268291946Yeah and in the end they didn't end up together either. So depending on how you look at it, nobody won.
>>268291896
>>268291944That's just your interpretation though.
>>268291944Yuri is /a/'s favorite genre and going against yuri is tantamount to heresy/treason here. I'm not joking.
>>268291952Didn't it air at the same time as LWA? You couldn't watch two shows at once back then?
shoekumibros...it's over...
>>268291885that reina was just kumiko's tulpa
>>268291932>ambiguousThere's no ambiguity. Kumiko literally returned that hairpin to shoe so how else does she have it now unless shoe gave it to her again and they both started dating again?
>>268291952Season 1 threads were the best, but season 3 threads have been a pleasant surprise for me.Going to miss you all, it's been fun.
>>268291965Not even a hetfag but how is that interpretation not valid but "they didn't end up together because they cut the confession!" somehow is? Isn't that a double standard? What else explains the hairpin then?
>>268291981Then why are anons insisting otherwise?
I don't have a horse in this het vs yuri race but how would each side explain why kumiko has the hairpin at the end
>>268291988Shitposting
>>268291965Give me another interpretation that makes sense. Watch >>268291919Kumiko asks shoe to give that hairpin back after they graduate if shoe still likes her
>>268291932They started dating and Kumiko showing off the hairpin at school shows they are still dating. There is no other plausible explanation for her carrying the sign of Shuu's confession with her at her job.So the series ends with Kumiko and Shuu dating. That's where we're at and there's nothing more. That is literally the end of Euphonium and both KyoAni and Takeda thought this scene of Kumiko in the future as a teacher with the hairpin shown off prominently was the right way to end the series.Fatality.
I'm gonna miss Kumiko and Hibike, but most of all, I'm gonna miss you all, anons. Good night.
>>268291852Perhaps my judgment isn't reliable considering I haven't actually seen the show, but I'd say you didn't waste your time.
>>268291998Just fucking read the thread we've covered this. Read the novel excerpt. Every word.>>268291896>>268289152
>>268292015So basically, it's supposed to show that Kumiko and Shoe did indeed come together after all, but not make it blatant enough that yuri fans wouldn't go apeshit?
>>268291983Go complain to Kyoani, they were the ones cutting all the het scenes to make everything ambiguous. It was easy to keep the confession scene to make the het end clear but they avoided that, makes you wonder why huh?
>>268292015That's just your interpretation though
Shuuichi just gave her the hairpin back as token of appreciation for leading the band to victory. That's it.
>>268292047So for you het is ambiguous but yuri is explicit?
>>268292015>They started dating and Kumiko showing off the hairpin at school shows they are still datingThe thing is there's no way she would've gotten hold of that hairpin unless shoe confessed to her again. Remember that she gave it back to him.
>>268292057This. When Kyoani even made a huge change in the last episodes, anything that was offscreened can be based on our interpretations.
>It's over I feel sad.
>>268292069>>268291944She just bought the same hairpin because she found it cute
>>268292129then don't
>>268292057>>268292075>Still holding the certificate, Kumiko raised her heels and grabbed the towel hanging from Shuuichi's neck, pulling him close. Shuuichi's eyes widened, but Kumiko spoke first, before he had a chance to say anything.>"I like Shuuichi.">...>Kumiko took the hair ornament and affixed it to her hair.>"How about Shuuichi?" she asked again.>"What?">I haven't heard your answer yet." Kumiko grinned mischievously and turned her head deliberately so that the hair ornament directly faced Shuuichi."If I didn't like you, why would I be carrying this thing everywhere?"Just a token of appreciation indeed, lmfao
Yurisisters....hibike is the reason I am a lesbian now...I used to be a manI just can't....kyoani betrayed us
>>268292142Wait, she didn't give it back to shoeichi in the novels?
>>268291896>>268291944>>268291998Kumiko having the hairpin means Shuichi confessed to her again but it doesn't mean she accepted.
Hearing Shuuichi's voice full of joy caused Kumiko's own heart to swell. With the competition over, everyone was smiling and laughing. It truly made Kumiko incredibly happy. Still holding the certificate, Kumiko raised her heels and grabbed the towel hanging from Shuuichi's neck, pulling him close. Shuuichi's eyes widened, but Kumiko spoke first, before he had a chance to say anything."I like Shuuichi."Shuuichi stared at Kumiko, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. Kumiko released her grip and raised her head to meet his eyes."How about you?" she asked."You... you're always doing whatever you want!" exclaimed Shuuichi. He frantically searched for something in his pockets, pulling out the sunflower hair ornament which she had returned to him a year ago. "Here, this belongs to you, take it." The hair ornament glowed a brilliant white, reflecting the sunlight. Shuuichi turned his face away, clearly blushing. Kumiko took the hair ornament and affixed it to her hair."How about Shuuichi?" she asked again."What?""I haven't heard your answer yet." Kumiko grinned mischievously and turned her head deliberately so that the hair ornament directly faced Shuuichi."If I didn't like you, why would I be carrying this thing everywhere?" Shuuichi declared defensively, running a hand through his hair."Oho—""Don't laugh at me!" Still trying to hide his embarrassment, Shuuichi lightly kicked Kumiko in the leg. "Oi! Whoever was taking a photo with the flash, get back on the bus!"1/2
>>268292142Didn't happen in the anime so it's not canon anymore
>>268292191Why the fuck would she accept the hairpin if he didn't accept his confession when this time it's clear what's accepting that means
>>268292142>Didn't happen in the anime btw
Kumiko turned to see everyone watching them through the bus windows. Hazuki and Midori, seated in the first row, both gave her a thumbs-up."Why you...!" Shuuichi, his face red all over, quickly dashed onto the bus. Kumiko could feel her own face burning. Shuuichi was already being surrounded by the other boys."Happy ending," remarked Reina nonchalantly, apparently not surprised in the least. Kumiko wiped her heated face on her sleeve and waved the certificate in the air."Super happy."Reina's mouth trembled in a smile and she extended a hand toward Kumiko. "Let's go. We shouldn't hold up everyone else."Kumiko took Reina's hand and boarded the bus. From Kumiko's point of view, Reina was special and always would be.2/2
We wouldn't even have this discussions if Kyoani didn't hate Shuuichi.
>>268292222A trophy to remind her of the pure boy whose heart she broke
>>268292191Kumiko wouldn't have accepted the hairpin then
>>268292251That's not how romance works? Are you a virgin?
>>268292184She gave it back in both the movie and the novels, but told Suichi to give it back to her once the school activities of their 3rd year were over. If he still wanted to date her, of course. Kumiko having the hairpin in the final scene means they are still dating.
>>268292275Who said anything about romance? This is for her own sick amusement.
>>268292279
>>268292474
>>268292494
>>268292525>Shuichi gave the pin back to her.This is KyoAni's way of telling us they are a couple without having to show any romantic scene between them. Which isn't shocking at all.
