Now it is finally over after all these years, did you like it?
>>268291461>up to interpretation endingKekek kyoani got scared of the yurifags
I hate Mayu so much guys
>>268291461Yes, first anime in a while that I genuinely loved.Great finale too.
how old is kumiko at the end?
>>268291461absolutely
>>268291732late 20s
>>268291461I don't care about a yuri or het ending. I just care about the band. And I think it was a very good ending for a band anime
Rate season 3!
>>26829173235 like me
Did they skip the NTR soli?
is it wrong for expecting more for a series finale? I cried when Kumiko confessed her fondness for Asuka and when her piece finally got name dropped. I'm not really feeling anything right now after watching this.
>No epilogue like Season 2 showing the Seniors graduating and the Kouhais playing one last song for them and saying their last goodbyesSeason 3 has been a rushed mess
>no confession scene>shoe did nothing in the finale>kumiko doesn't even wear the hairpin>no ring>kumiko still retains her family name

>>268291832Based KYOANI.
>>2682917738.5
>>268291832But she still has the hairpin and her still being Oumae doesn't rule out her and Shoe not being a couple. It simply means they're not married. They kept it ambiguous but it doesn't rule out them being a coupoe.
>>268291832This. Yuri won.
>>2682917738/10I enjoyed it a lot and thought it was a great final season for the series; miracle we got it at all, all things considered.
>>268291461A comfy thread died for this schizo thread?
>>268291832Like I've said. Open-ended ending. KumiRei can still happen.
Can you guess them all?
Kanade received the Hibike Euphonium from Kumiko btwFuture buchou confirmed
>>268291859It was pretty clear in the novel but Kyoani did everything they can to avoid it, makes you wonder why they hate him so much, did Shoe even speak this episode?
>>268291832>Takeda: Shuichi is special as well, but for Kumiko, Reina is depicted as a presence that is above him. Before Kumiko met her, he may have been her special guy, but now her relationship with Reina is eternal.
>>268291832It's over. Kyoani fucking kneel to yurifags.
what do we think of the song? it has its moments but it's not really doing it for me
>>268291832
>>268291461Overall yes but the quality went down after Liz. Neither the movie, OVA or S3 ever reached the emotional highs of what came before.
so worth it
>>268291904>makes you wonder why they hate him so muchThey didn't want yuri fans or /a/nons to torch their studio.

It's okay yurifags, the author is currently writing the kind of degenerate slop you retards love.
Now rather than deen or jc staff creating meltdown over anons favorite manga being adapted it should be replaced to kyoanus alone. Atleast other two aren't too full of themselves, arrogant assholes.

This should be the last hibike thread, such garbage should never be allowed on this board
>>268292078Nobody will read or buy this just because she allowed them to leave this series ambiguous. She wanted to write a yuri series but bitched out? And then she wanted to let an animator maker her series yuri but let them bitch out? Why, then, should I give a single shit bout her upcoming "true" yuri series? Fuck off.
geh
>>268291832Imagine getting an unambiguous ending in the novel only to get rekt by Kyoani for yurifags' satisfactions. Being Shuiichi is suffering.

>>268292141Hearing 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

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>Verification not required
>>268292300They won. Kyoani retconned the het end so Kumirei will always be possible. Bravo Kyoani.
Where can I read the LN bros?
>>268292160all girls are bi
>reina still in the US>shoe is tapping that fluffy pussy every day
>they cut Shoe's confession and them dating so it's not a het end!>however, that means that there's a possibility of Kumiko and Reina getting together even if it's offscreen, therefore it's a yuri end even if it's offscreen!Isn't that a leap of logic? A het end must be onscreen to be considered canon, but a yuri end can be yuri even if it's offscreen or interpretation? Isn't that a double standard?
>>2682917738/10
>>268292296she's literally me...the bento thing was 2deep4me
>>268292093>explicit? they didn't have any meaningful interaction this episode. it's open ended lmao
Honestly, it's for the best that Kyoani skipped this confession scene. It makes Shuu look like such a spineless bitch.

>>268292154>>268292123>>268292141>>268292265>>268292094I'm starting to think that you're a closet homosexual who's using Kumiko to mask your boner for Shuichi. Same goes with Majima and your "yuri slayer" harem

(Gotta tilt 'em all)(Gotta tilt 'em all)
>>268292345>open endedI would've agreed if only they didn't show kumiko rocking that hairpin. This only permits one interpretation, that shoe confessed to her again and gave that hairpin to kumiko, and they both started having sex afterwards
>>268292345So Shoe and Kumiko not interacting means it's open ended, but Reina still being in the US without reuniting with Kumiko is somehow not open ended?>>268292351That's... not how writing works dude.
>>268292337>Isn't that a double standard?It's your average yurifag meltdown, just wait for eng subs to see double standard twitter carpet munchers going on suicide watch.
>>268292337It's not that. Het lost because Kyoani retconned their unambiguous ending in the novel. Kyoani did it to avoid yurifags' wrath so yurifags are celebrating.
don't care. Mayu smiled and is happy is good enough for me. although I wanted her to talk more
https://x.com/ryulouch_7978/status/1807332686962581953bro...
Yuricucks LOST.
>>268292376I actually like yuri myself but the way I see it, a Shoe end seems less ambiguous (albeit still unconfirmed) than a yuri end. The issue is really the hairpin: there's no good way to explain that away without at least some hint of Kumiko and Shoe ending up together in some way. If it weren't for the hairpin, then maybe they'd have a point. This isn't even a Lycoris scenario where people thinking Chisato liking Majima is canon are delusional.>>268292380But there's still no yuri end. Unless you mean that an ambiguous end is still a victory for them as long as it's not a het end?
>>268292371cool interpretation, too bad kyoani didn't show us that. >>268292375open ended is open ended for everyone. i didnt even bring up reina in my previous posts lol
>>268292380There's no ambiguity about their relationship status in the anime ending either. Hairpin says it all. There's no other way to interpret it. They just didn't show them together, to not risk another arson incident, this time by yurishits.
>>268292393luv me mayukumi, luv gettin gold together, simple as
>>268292337A het end is assumed unless there's explicit yuriAt the same time, a yuri end can be assumed in the absence of explicit hetThis is how it's always been, but the definition of "explicit" is always hazy. Especially since, recently, it's become trendy to avoid the topic of romance altogether as something uncomfortable outside of shows made just for that.Personally, I think the idea of a yuri end died here, and everything past that has been just coping and stretching or ignoring the definition of this line. You simply can't have a proper yuri end when one of the main protags says this to a man and it's never addressed past that.
>>268292419Then how can you explain the hairpin then? I'd actually like to hear a good explanation for it that doesn't involve Kumiko and Shoe being together in some way.
>>268292349bisexula*
>>268292419>cool interpretationKyoani will show Reina with black spades tatoos, and you'll still be coping like this.
Listen, I'm the most delusional yurifag here and there is no way this is a win for yuri. She's carrying around the hairpin. Shuuichi is a cuck for life and he wouldn't want it any other way. The madlad did it.
>>268292434would also have loved the photo that mayu took at the pool to be hiding in her desk or soemthing, but this is good too
>>268292447It's been a great ride with you all.Thanks for everything.
>>268292436I mean, just because Reina did have feelings for Taki doesn't rule out her being a lesbian in the future. There have been multiple cases of yuri girls that started out liking dudes but later falling for a chick.>>268292453Nice falseflag bro.
>>268292367>Majimafag is a PokefurryfagYou can't make this shit up
>>268292434it's a shame they couldn't resolve their "conflict" early. I would love to have more scenes of these two together
>>268292439Yurifags are gone. /u/ literally banned Hibike discussion tonight lmfao. It's just trolls
>>268292337It's about expectations. Hibike having an unambiguous het end in the novels and the anime adaptation cutting it out = yuri wins. Yorukura having no relevant male characters and a kiss and confession while setting up further development but ending with just the two main girls getting back together and not having the promised development = yuri lost.
Serious question: if Shoe didn't end up with Kumiko and she rejected him, why is she carrying around the hairpin? Sure she isn't wearing it, but she still has it and is carrying it around with her. If she rejected him, she would have either thrown it away or kept it at home instead of bringing it with her to school.
>Shoecuck didn't even get a pussyBased Reina winning the Kumibowl
>>268292462>would also have loved the photo that mayu took at the pool to be hiding in her desk or soemthingmaybe mayu wasn't lying about it not developed properly. she has not lied a single time throughout the show
>>268292475yeah, there were some novel readers that said that Mayu actually gets along and talks with everyone really well, but was just autistically hung up of the solo with kumiko, but hey, 13 episodes, what can you do?
>Kumiko is a 28 year old single hag
>>268292480I don't think people actually expected there to be a het end in the anime? Shoe has been shat on and deemphasized since season 1 and it was clear that the anime wasn't going to adapt his relationship with Kumiko the same way. Even in Season 3 their relationship was barely shown at all. If anything, it would have been a surprise if she DID end up with him explicitly, because if he did, the buildup to support it just wasn't there.
Japan also views it as open-ended ending btw. Anything can still happen.
>>268292487>If she rejected him, she would have either thrown it awayBro you're forgetting something. Kumiko gave that hairpin back to shoe in the movie, and literally asks him to give it back to her after a year if he still loves her
>>268292469Bro, he spent his entire high school life chasing after a girl who was too busy chasing after other girls and treated him like shit. He enjoys this.
>>268292479>/u/ literally banned Hibike discussion tonight[citation needed]
>>268292439I get what you mean because the hairpin is significant in the novel for hetbros, but even the most important thing that was clear in the novel like the soli got retconned by the kyoani so anything that was offscreend can be up to interpretation. Shuuichi could have given it back to her while they remain friends. We didn't know how they felt after separating. The confession should be kept to make it unambiguous, or any line that would have suggested that they got back together, but Kyoani omitted it so..
>>268292514non-open ending would be to divisive.they dont want anothr arson
>>268292469>There have been multiple cases of yuri girls that started out liking dudes but later falling for a chick.And every single one of those is in a show designed to showcase exactly that. It's the central focus of the plot. Because to do that, it needs to be the whole story. Not just a sideshow, which is how all of the romance in this series has been framed. To call it romance is probably doing it a disservice. The idea of romance in hibike is kind of laughable - the plot goes out of its way to avoid it
>>268292479What are you talking about? Their general is still up. It just barely gets any discussion as usual.
>>268292487https://youtu.be/UhslWIrWhLkKumiko returned it to shoe
>>268292493in my weird headcanon, her self esteem issues may be why she's afraid of being on the other side of the camera, scared to "intrude" on the friendgroup that's already established, so she was happy to resign herself to wandering around agata des by herself, so there was part of me that thought that she kept that photo to herself and not "burden" kumiko and friends with the fact that she is an official part of the band, and has a real chance of taking someone's spot. time to learn some moonrunes and buy the novel i guess
It begins.
>>268292531I'm not even a hetfag or a Shoe shipper, the thing here is that it doesn't even have to be verbal or explicit. The fact she still has the hairpin is saying something. Yes it's true that it's an open ending and thus up to interpretation, but some interpretations are more plausible than others. Just because someone interprets the ending to be "Kumiko ended up with Reina but Reina was killed in a plane crash" doesn't mean it's plausible.
>>268292555Which makes it all more suspicious she has it.
>>268292380They just removed his scenes because Shuu is unimportant to the story. Nothing to do with fearing yurifags.
>>268292572You are arguing with trolls anon

>>268292582The only plausible interpretation is that shoe confessed and gave it to her again after graduation. This is such an unambiguous situation.
>>268292582It's not suspicious at all. There's a clear off-screen assumption that Shoe gave it back after they graduated with a confession which Kumiko accepted. As it was in the novels.There's very little room for interpretation here.
>shoe returns the hairpin to kumiko and moves to america with reina>kumiko and mayu live in the same apartment togetherjust fixed every shipper's problem by settling in the middle
>>26829146130+ employees were literally sent to hell five years ago for this?
>>268292602>>268292605But that still means that even if it wasn't explicit in the anime, it still strongly hints towards a (canon?) het end, which is something anons here are denying hard.
>>268292572I agree with you but Kyoani definitely wanted to show it as open ended. Even in Gundam they didn't want the wrath of hetbros so there was no kiss between the girls but they did manage to show the rings and add a "sister in law" line, so there is only one interpretation that the girls did get married. Something like this was missing in the last episode of Hibike to convince people that they got back together especially when Kyoani made a point in the last few episodes that the not everything in the novel is canon in the anime version.
>>268292619Could you seethe any harder?
>>268292619It sucks that that could've been avoided if only they had followed relevant safety standards and built a fire exit.
>>268292632So what does that mean then. They're saying that actually, there was a het end after all, but they didn't want to make it explicit because they know how popular KumiRei is and they'd probably torch the studio or do other shit if they committed to an explicit Shoe end?
>masksGuess it's a no brainer, but I'd guess the flash forward takes place in 2024
There's no actual yurichads here, just anti-yurifags false flagging and baiting each other
>>268291862>>268291832The thing about Yuri is that it doesn't have to win, it just has to not lose.
Call me when the new OVA about adult Kumiko comes out maybe in 5 years.
>>268292606>Crackfag
I'm so glad Kumiko finally opened up to Mayu and share Sound! Euphonium with her and rest of the eupho members considering how special Asuka was to her
>>268292659You know East Asians have been wearing masks in public long before the pandemic right?
>>268292503well maybe it should have been 2 cours..
>>268292625>it still strongly hints towards a (canon?) het endYesWe're on the same pageArguing about this is stupid. It's just shitflinging between people who didn't read the novels or watch the movies, and people who did. The whole fiasco last episode was just to make people think it would go in a different direction, and the shot of the pin this episode is proof that it didn't. There's no other reasonable way to spin that (extremely minor) aspect of this series.
>>268292674And the acrylic screens?
>>268292660Again, that's being double standards. It's like the old claim that yuri fans are incapable of shitposting and only anti-yuri anons can be shitposters, when Yorukura threads this season (especially for the finale) among other cases prove that claim wrong.
>>268292658They probably didn't want to choose any ship so they kept it open ended, no one wins.
>>268292625If kyoani didn't mean to hint at shoe x kumiko ending together why would they go out of their way to put that hairpin in that frame?They just didn't depict it explicitly so as to not anger yurifags.
>>268292687That means they used them in the past. I didn't say the pandemic didn't happen in their timeline, all I said is that they've been using masks even before COVID.
Ririka won
>>268292703Well duh.
>>268291461>Het end while pride month endsReally brave of both KyoAni and Takeda to go up against LGBT. Takeda must have gotten a couple of death threats already
>>268292697The question then is: why did they not want to anger them then? If they wanted to be faithful (which they weren't), yet were faithful enough to adapt those stuff in the movie, then why not go all the way?
>>268292619ok you had me laughing for the first time
I am more interested in what happened to Reina and Taki in the meantime
S1 still remains superior in every way. Kneel.
>>268292714>Het endIt's up to interpretation
Tuba-kun...
>>268292715>anon realizes that commercial products are intended to reach the largest possible audienceI'm sorry but every show does this in one way or another.

>>268292750That's true, but some interpretations are more likely or plausible than others.
>>268292695>when Yorukura threads this season among other cases prove that claim wrongThe only people shitposting in the final episode of Yorukura threads were the people claiming that yurifags lost. Funny how a suppodesly "up-to-interpretation" ending in that series means yurifags lost but it's a heterosexual subtext ending in Hibike is good and canon.

>>268292756>Taki makes Kumiko dress up as tubakun to encourage the students and help them win gold
>>268292762You weren't there when the threads happened were you? I saw them happened in real time and there were several anons who were pissed about the ending. Not in a shitposting way, but rather in a "that's it?" sort of way. I mean, it's clear that Yorukura is a yuri show, even more unambiguously than Hibike (Hibike is at best yuribait, Yorukura was actually yuri given the kiss and confession), yet they got mad because the ending just resulted in friendship rather than romance. They weren't falseflaggers either, they were actual yuri fans who got pissed and explained why. It's true that there were some anti-yuri shitposters there making fun of the yuri fans (just like what they're doing now with Hibike), but actual pissed genuine yuri fans existed and they were loud.
It's such a shame the yuri conversation thing is gonna drown out any talk about the actual show like lycoreco
>>268292786I told you Japan ships KumiRei.
>>268292695Yorukura threads were getting shitposted in the entire season and it wasn't by yurifags.
>>268292786What is the logic behind believing this to be open ended?
>>268292807you mean the montage?
>>268292765Holy kek
>>268292619I don't think it was that bad. It was a sentimental send-off and technically complete adaptation, even if it was rushed. I'm just glad they went all the way with it.
>>268292786So why should I care what they think?
>>268292786I mean they aren't contradictory. The anime had an open end, which is true, but the hairpin strongly suggests (but does not confirm) that Kumiko and Shoe had/have some kind of relationship. Exactly what is up to interpretation, but that's the point. It's an open end so it's up to interpretation, it's just that some interpretations are more likely than others.
>>268292762Hetbros are shitposting because they managed to lose here despite having a clear het end in the novel. Kek
>>268292815Kek
>>268292786If kyoani wanted it to be open ended they wouldn't have gone out of their way to include that hairpin in the shot given all those who've watched the movie knows what that implies
>>268292806Complaining isn't shitposting
>>268292808Nips historically have shit taste
>>268292813That doesn't disprove what I said. I already said that there were anti-yuri fans shitposting about Yorukura and baiting it with het stuff. What I was saying is that it is true that there were actual yuri fans who were very upset about the ending to the point that they were arguably shitposting. Just because anti-yuri shitposters exist does not negate the existence of pro-yuri ones.
>>268291900Jesus shoe is a giant.
>>268292806>there were several anons who were pissed about the endingThere were, but getting angry and complaining about any ending is not shitposting.>they got mad because the ending just resulted in friendship rather than romanceDo you have proof of this? Sounds more like your interpretation of the ending to me.
>>268292807In LycoReco's case, I didn't care because it wasn't good anyway
>>268292826>strongly suggests (but does not confirm)How does it not confirmDid you even watch the movie Ambiguity implies there's two or more competing interpretation. There's no other plausible explanation in this case.
>>268292807Give it a year or so and we'll be able to talk about the show without all of that. Maybe. I like to think that Hibike has more fans who care about stuff beyond pairings than Lycoreco does
>>268292845>actual yuri fans who were very upset about the ending to the point that they were arguably shitpostingCriticizing an ending isn't shitposting.
>>268292849>Sounds more like your interpretation of the ending to me.That's what the angry anons were saying. I'm paraphrasing here but they were mad that they didn't commit to the yuri after the kiss and confession.
>win gold in your first year of band
I can't believe she got away for being a bitch
>>268292870To be fair, LycoReco does have many fans who like it outside of the yuri. It's just that with yuri being such a dominant genre on /a/ it's hard to find people who are ambivalent about it here. If you want to discuss LycoReco for reasons outside of the yuri, /a/ isn't the best place to do so because on /a/, most of its fans are yuri fans, and there are also anti-yuri shitposters out to bait said fans.
Takeda can easily write a novel where Reina returns from America, and reunites and ends up with sensei Kumiko.
>>268292887Fuck this idiot
Ririkas birthday today
>>268292882That actually sucks. They'll blame themselves for not being as good as their senapais if they don't win in the next two years.
>>268292876And that's their interpretation of the ending. Funny how "up-to-interpretation" endings only seem count when it goes against yuri for you.
I can somehow understand that yuri friendly anime like Jelly or GBC need to keep it subtext level and not show confessions or kissing between the girls in the finale (hell even yuri Sasakoi adaptation decided to cut out the yuri kissing festival scene in it for some reason), but why the hell an anime based on heterosexual ending novel is afraid of showing the main girl kissing her boyfriend at the end of the series?WTF is this take?I can understand yuribaiting in subtext but why to even now create heterobaiting show?
>hetfags is celebrating an "up to interpretation" endingLmao the bar was so low, huh?
>>268292882Hard times create strong buchousStrong buchous create good timesGood times create weak buchousWeak buchous create hard times
>>268292924There's only one interpretation
>>268292924>nooooo don't interpret it so you win!I will and I have
>>268292923This. They did Shuuichi damn dirty.
>>268292924Yuri fans were also celebrating an "up to interpretation ending" earlier because they didn't show an onscreen confession earlier? Double standards much?Besides, no one here is even celebrating except for shitposters.
How is it?
>>268292939>>268292942If this was a yuri novel that got downplayed to "up to interpretation" in the anime, i'd be so fucking disappointed. I'm not sure how can you be happy about this.
>>268292966Pretty good. A solid finale. Provided you're not a freak who has an unhealthy devotion to a given romantic pairing for our MC
>>268292924I guess you didn't watch the movie who gives context to the hairpin?
did I miss it or the soli part was skipped?
>didn't show up to the performance since it would hurt her pride and SEETHE over Kumiko winning goldASSuka bros....
>>268292923Hibike has a significant yuri fanbase and I assume showing an actual Shoe end would have angered a lot of people and caused major bad will. Yuri fans can be a lot more rabid than het fans. Assuming that the hairpin was intended to be wink-wink proof that Kumiko and Shoe ended up together, it was probably intended as a compromise. It signaled that, yes, Kumiko and Shoe got together, but they left open just enough stuff (like Kumiko still being an Oumae and not actually showing them getting back together onscreen) to make the ending ambiguous enough to placate the yuri fans.
>>268292969There's no ambiguity. Hairpin only permits one interpretation.
>>268292966low effort nostalgia bait cashing in the 9 years of goodwill the series has accumulated -- in other words -- perfect, wouldn't change a thing
Shuuichi slayed the yuri, simple as that.
>>268292947>Yuri fans were also celebrating an "up to interpretation ending" earlier because they didn't show an onscreen confession earlier? Double standards much?Yeah wake me up when we see Kumiko walking with Shoe both wearing wedding rings and Shuichi family calling Kumiko sister-in-law.There I dare you.KyoAni found a way to bait both yurifags and also heterofags who liked the novel with this retarded adaptation.
>>268291832Yuri always win.
>>268292993No he did not.
>>268292982It wasn't skipped, they even had a brutal shot of Kumiko being visually overshadowed by Mayu while she was playing. It was a significant movement in the piece if you were paying attention
>>268293000You must have missed the last thread
>>268292986It was still downplayed to an interpretation, I mean why remove the confession scene that would seal the het end? Shitposters won't have any shot to shitpost if they kept that.
Absolute Kino.
What i want to know is how did that awful piece manage to win gold? I had no problems with muh realism of kumiko not winning the soli but this piece in particular was not even good
>>268293004You're coping. Go find other shit to ruin with homosexuality. Kyoani kills the fag in their home month
>>268292985Having a different surname doesn't prove anything, you don't date someone and change your surname lol And for married couple not always women take the husband's family name but the husband can take the wife's family name.
>>268292985If the pwoer of yuri fandom i nJapan was so great as you try to point to then we would actually get a fkiss in finale both for Jelly and GBC there anon.Don't make me laugh no one does things for yurifags niche market,e specially not downplaying heterosexual ending novel to be now ambigious one.If anything waifufags are to blame who want to see their gfs pure and not connected to boys or girls romantically than yurifags.
>>268292882>>268292991Ririka's Oboe kouhai is cute
>>268293036How does Kumiko draw such straight lines? Is it all her practice with Reina's nose?
>>268293038Kyoani is based for making it open ended actually.
>>268292986And the rings in Gundam only had one interpretation, yet that doesn't seem to count for some non-yuirfags.
>>268293036Is that Kumiko's handwriting? it's so stiff
The movie got a lot of flak from yurishittersNo wonder kyoani chickened out
>>268293042Put it this way. Based on how the novel turned out, the hairpin suggests (but does not outright confirm) that Kumiko and Shuichi became a couple. However, Kumiko is still an Oumae, which suggests that if (and that's a big if) they are indeed together, they aren't married yet. That's what I meant by "leaving the door open." If she wasn't an Oumae anymore, that would close the door, but keeping her as Oumae at least leaves the possibility of her still being unmarried and thus in theory either not being with Shoe or the possibility of her leaving Shoe in the future, even if that's somewhat absurd or unlikely.
>timeskip kumiko looking fondly at her Euphonium, still being played in the band she now helps teachWhy the hell did that get me emotional
>>268293042We are talking about Japan here, no in Japan woman, if her houshold is not of some powerful family heiritage line in the past or belonging to some company/conglomerate and Kumiko isn't, would always choose husband name.
>>268293064Gundam yuri end was confirmed by the director.
If you didn't watch the bento you're not a tru UFO
>>268293064I didn't watch G-Witch and stayed away from it, but wedding rings and calling each other in-laws does strongly point to a yuri end no matter how much Guelfags or whoever chimp out. However the same can't really be said here.
>>268293081Because you actually care about what the show is about. It moved me too.
>>268293084Correct, but non-yurifags shitposted for months how it didn't count because of what Bandai said before the director explicitly re-confirmed it.
>>268293064The thing is they've already set that hairpin thing in the movie. >>268292555Kumiko asks shoe to give that pin after a year unless his feelings for her changes
>>268293081*former euphonium
>>268293107I can't see why it's only bad if anti-yuri fans shitpost and make lies about the nature of anime relationships, but when yuri fans do the same they get a pass. Sure, if a clearly yuri end happened and shitposters deny it, then mock the shitposters all you want. But if it's the opposite, where the yuri either got explicitly deconfirmed or it's too ambiguous to tell, then why can't pro-yuri shitposters get the same treatment?
I was already in tears in the opening scene when not only Mayu-chan but even Kanade-chan said that she wanted to play the Hibike Euphonium.
>>268293077>suggests (but does not outright confirmWhy doesn't it confirm you dumb shitposter
Epilogue:Kumiko falls in love with Taki sensei and marries him, but there is no way she can tell Reina about this.After returning to Japan, Reina is completely unaware of this and continues to date Taki sensei for about 10 years.
>>268293077You are using a lot of IFs but the only thing is that the ending align with the novel's ending in the way that she has the same hairpin that he gave her in the movie.There is not much to think about, only shippers are coping (or trolling). We talking about the story here, and the only big change was Kumiko losing her soli.And if you want to talk about IFs maybe listen to the actors who played the character.>https://febri.jp/topics/anime-eupho3_kurosawatomoyo_01/
>>268293036>>268293054Kumiko likes it straight
>>268293137Because they don't outright explicitly say in the anime "Kumiko and Shuuchi became a couple after Kumiko returned his feelings. The End."?
>kyoani resorted to hetbaitingPoor Shuuichi
The final episode should have been a one-hour special.It's all NHK Educational TV's fault.
>>268293077Oumae Shoe1
>>268293125>where the yuri either got explicitly deconfirmed or it's too ambiguous to tell, then why can't pro-yuri shitposters get the same treatment?I have no issues with either of those things. But that isn't the case with a lot of series. Any yuri subtext, no matter if it's incredibly strong, is pointed to as yurifags losing.
>>268293153It's because they removed the confession scene, nips are mad because of this also.
>>268293142This thread has been going around in circles, yet people who deny the Shoe end still haven't given a good explanation as to why she'd have the hairpin again if they didn't end up together. Again, I'm not even a shipper and I don't even like Shoe, but if them being a couple doesn't explain why she has the hairpin, then what does?
I missed the stream and subs/raws not out yet. Did they play music this time?
Last week was the actual final episode and this week was just a summary.
>>268293177>nips are mad because of this also.The thread told me that they were celebrating the ambiguous end? Someone here is lying.
>>268293037im a public school band fag that absolutely did not win any awards, but pieces are judged by how well they play the piece (reading the score as they play, and general musicality like tuning, dynamics, togetherness, not how much they actually like it. Mizore may be the best student kitauji ever had, but a lust charged solo isn't enough when your other sections can't play together or if you don't have a seira student to carry you>>268293005that scene really showed how much kumiko has grown. I would have still been jealous, and ghost fingered with solo alongside my one and only, so props to kumiko for sitting back and enjoying the moment
KyoAni has almost completely restored the animation, but is full instrument performance still too much?Or is it something to look forward to in the movie version?
>>268293153The hairpin pretty much confirms it because it doesn't allow any other plausible interpretation considering how they set it up in the movie. they didn't explicitly show it but pretty much confirmed it.
>>268293188nips agreed that it's open ended, no one is celebrating actually but some are mad because important details like the confession was omitted.
>>268293036So did Kumiko replace Taki and he's now a jobless bum?
>>268292846Hazuki being a bro till the end.
>>268293153If they didn't want to confirm it they wilde have included that hairpin in the shot, retard.
>>268293036I genuinely think she'd be an awful teacher
>>268293205Who are these Nips, please show us what they say.
>>268292123Was she supposed to be wearing the hairpin in her hair or wear a ring on her finger according to the novel? Dunno how this is ambiguous.
>>268293204If that is the case, then why are anons still insisting that there was a yuri end or at least that Shoe lost?
>>268293222she doesn't have the guts to be strict to students unless she forms an emotional bond with them first. she will absolutely get caught with a student in the first year on the job
>full performance and confession in movie Sasuga kyoanus
>>268293215Did the novel say what happened to Hazuki and Sapphire 10 years later?
Cute Chieri and Knuckles moment
>>268293231go to x dude
Shuuichi and Kumiko are a couple, they kiss each other and hold hands.
>>268293261Holy shit good eye.
>>268293205>>268293235Open ended implies ambiguity, two or more competing interpretation around the same collection of facts. That kumiko asked shoe to present that hairpin again to her after a year if he still feels like getting into a relationship with her is fact#1 and that grown up kumiko possesses that hairpin is fact#2. These two facts only allow one conclusion. There's zero ambiguity about whether shoe ended up with kumiko or not. The only ambiguity is in details as to how they ended up.
This was trash, time to read the novels
>>268293234Teachers can't wear kids accessory (and japanese school are pretty strict about the dress code) so she's keeping it with her.
>>268293235Anons are retarded
>>268293262No, now you post it here to spread the Nips' words. People need to know.
>>268293261They're dating right?
>>268293261>Shoe's friend got more action than himKEK
>>268293278That's just your interpretation but maybe the director will confirm it someday, for now it's an open ended ending.
>>268293235Shitposting, that's itIt's just a circle of baiting right now, it's best just to ignore it
>>268293308I will do it later after work, I'm just using my phone now and i will compile them later.
>>268293326You fucking troll kill yourself. Those two facts aren't my interpretation and those two facts lead to one logical conclusion which your Yuri brain is too dumb to infer.
Shuuichi plays for anime and Vidya game OSTs for a living
>Up to interpretation ending for suikumiLMAO
>>268293209>If Taki-sensei was the advisor and Kumiko was the vice advisor, Reina would go crazy with jealousy.
>>268291773Meh. I don't have any particularly good feelings about the final season. 11 and 12 were relatively good episodes, but I barely remember anything else. I wanted to like Mayu, but she's done nothing to redeem her malicious and unnerving vibe since her first appearance. Nothing about the drama was particularly striking, it only bordered on being grating to watch, especially Reina's behavior. S1 and S2 were good, Liz was good. Every Hibike iteration since Chikai has just been all hot air about nothing to me. 2.5/10, extra half point because it was fun to sperg about the outfits in Ep 11.

>ガルクラもユーフォも最後が駄目だったな
>>268293402Lol don't think they do, they made the movie and did the whole thing with the hairpin, if they hated him they wouldn't feature things like >>268293074 they probably just wanted to highlight Kumiko friendship with the girls, with an highlight on Reina and thought was more interesting especially changing that part of Kumiko losing the soli.

>>268293562Fuck off faggot
>>268293235Kek, I am not quite sure if you're funposting at this point, if youre gullible or if youre straight up retarded. They insist because either one of these (or multiple of them) apply 1) they wanted a yuri ending, didnt get it, so the ending being "open to interpretation" is the only alternative they have to acknowledging the dreaded hetero relationship ending2) they troll and deliberately make it sound like they didnt what was done here (like, the argument that the confession was left out is really silly cause how would you realistically have included that anyway? there was no time and itd have taken at least a couple minutes)3) they are straight up too dumb to read and understanding basic visual cues, which is my prefered reading of these events because with age ive come to terms with the average person a) being straight up too dumb to do the former, b) or even if they arent too dumb will argue in bad faith. The hairpin even twinkles, attention is supposed to be directed towards it. As other Anons have said there is no ambiguity here. The conclusion is merely condensed. Let me put it this way: If you are an anime studio and you have to choose between>animate a confession (viewers now know they are together) -> timeskip -> show hairpin (viewers now know they are together)and>timeskip -> show hairpin (viewers now know they are together)Why would you pick the former? Both elements convey the same information, and the latter can be integrated into a scene youve going to animate anyway. It's the cost effective and efficient approach to doing this all while respecting your audience's intelligence. Albeit I agree that they shouldn't have done this cause Kyoto Animation fans aren't intelligent.

>>268293879Was Asuka even that good?
hetkeks lost again, 4/4 defeats this season.
>>268293885okinawa trip would print money for them, so they always have that up their sleeves if denmoku isn't as successful
I can't believe "anime original ending" schizos were right. But the most crazy part is how catastrophic this going to be for faggots who pushed Shoe as a yurislayer and kept shitposting with Eupho in yuri threads for a fucking decade. You already can see their crazy damage control. The "pin cope" will join the ranks of legendary laughingstock along with "Kai will win in the movie".
>>268293941She was a genius.
>>268293937Anon, I know porn can annihilated your neurons but sucking your partners cock is not some insanely common thing among couples.... There are a lot of insanely chaste couples still out there.
>>268293929Oh right I forgot to type cope before think and ing after think
I'd rather watch this actual good season over those overrated garbages of Jobless Reincarnation S2 and Demon Slayer S4.
>>268293939You sound like a fucking moron, please don't ever reply to me again.
>flat as a board at 17>has tits at 27Japan really needs to understand how female anatomy works. Unless Kumiko had a kid or gained weight, she should still be flat

From the moment I played the video, I was already holding back my tears
thank god asuka didn't show up, would have ruined the mood
>>268293966Maybe boomers were like that. But kumiko is neither a boomer nor religious conservative. It would be really offensive if you don't even want to suck the cock of your lover.

I hereby pronounce you Husband and Wife.

still best girls

Yuuko is an alcoholic confirmed
>>268294059Kita girls arent even in relationships until college. Odds are they are insanely chaste and would never do such filthy things. Japanese college is not like American college. Kumiko doesnt strike me like a blowjob girl. Neither do any of the other Kita girl bar perhaps Reina.

Oh he actually got to say something!

>>268294173Where are they going to get their air from?
Honestly? I dont like this ShuuKumiko ending. Id have preferred for Shuu to plow Mayu and Kumiko to end up a loveless alcoholic. She doesnt deserve happiness.
>>268293879The band barely made up the 50 members needed for a competition at that time. All you had to was not be complete garbage and you would have passed the audition (Team Monaka had like 8 members iirc). If the second years didn't walk out the year before, they would've probably won nationals

Does this count as a win? The guy got like 2 lines this ep lmao.

OH NONONONONONNONO YURISISTERS WEVE LOST ANOTHER ONE
>>268294219Assuming Kumiko graduated in 2016 and because we see remains of COVID stuff for the orchestra in the epilogue, I'd say 5-7 years.
>>268294243She's pregnant, it's over
>>268294219Michie has been there for 50 years actually
>hi, we saw you from across the bar, and we really like your vibe...
I'm giving it an 8/10. Would've been a 10/10 if they didn't ruin episode 12.
Feel like the voice actor was trying to make her sound too much like an adult by intentionally making her voice deeper.
It looks well drawn but I am not enticed at all about watching it, it feels like Kyoani has stopped challenging themselves a long time ago, plus doing so much Yuri bait without actually committing to something either way, feels like an attempt to please as many as they can like the most basic Hollywood/Hallmark trash.It feels like they cannot escape their safe spot, just working with stories they own so they can make as much money as they can.
>>268294243>>268294279>>268294296>>268294312Ahem. Post hag Kumi feet.
I'm giving it an 4/10. Would've been a 6/10 if they made a good show.
>>268294279>>268294312is she wearing a skirt?I can't tell
Maybe they lost the actual band performance in the blaze. With that in mind, I'll give this a season a 6/10.
>>268294366You literally see her legs, anon.
That was so unsatisfying. S1 and S2 ended stronger.
>>268294345>it feels like Kyoani has stopped challenging themselves a long time agoBro, what? Kyoto Animation? Challenging itself? What dimension are you from? The most challenging and out there things they made are Liz and their two most hated shows (Phantomworld and Amagi). And even those aren't comparable to actually pushing yourself. Kyoto Animation has always made bait for Otaku and (otaku) women. FMP, Haruhi, Hyouka etc were nothing else. Lowest common denominator slop shows meant to appeal to a lowest common denominator audience.
>>268291461I'll remember episode 12 for the rest of my life, Really enjoyable.S3 was worth it for this part alone.
Who became the next bucho? Don't tell me it was that bitch Kanade.
>>268294403>Amagi>hated
>>268294415Me. I'll be handing the torch to Kumikos and Shuu1's daughter once she inevitably arrives to take over.
>>268292058Mayu went to America to have hot solos with Reina while Kumiko is busy looking after Taki's kids.
>>2682917737.5/10
these last few episodes were simply phenomenal, what a strong finish for this series. hazuki really grew on me in season 3
>>268294403>What dimension are you from? One in which I was hoped to be proved wrong.
>>268294313>5-7 yearsAnd Reina is STILL in america? Does she even intent to return?
Do you think pirate-chan put her pubes in there?
was that the hairpin kumiko gave back to shuuichi at the end?so they got together after all huh
>>268294454>be slop studio that makes pretty shows>lose most of your creative staff in a fire>remain slop studio that makes slightly less pretty showsDunno what you expected or had hoped for. the circumstances have made it impossible for the studio to realistically ever be anything else.
>>268294463You can't go back once you go black
Is this not a confession?
>>268294474That's friendship hairpin
>>268294463BBC anon, it's too good. She got over her little crush.
>>268293402Shoe1 has zero personality. You might as well just replace his scenes with paint drying.
>>268294400lame
This entire season felt super pointless.No character development, nothing interesting or worth mentioning happened at all.The most enjoyable part was seeing grown up Asuka and the flashbacks to previous seasons.
>lots of flashbacks>Kumiko sharing her special song>Sapphire still loves curry>saw an actual music performance>cute and funny Yuuko and Natsuki moments, plus Haruka looking delicious>happy Mayu>goldu>adult Kumiko is confident and happy and teaching music>Shuichi wins10/10 ending
>>268294544That's not really an argument cause they are in charge of the show they could give him a personality if they felt like it lmao. Why are you acting like they have no influence on how a character turns out? You do realize these characters arent real. That they can be whatever the studio wants them to be, right, Anon?
>>268292846I'm retarded, I just realized this was a photo bomb on the executives. Kek
>>268294463Probably got addicted to bbcHappens to the best of us
>>268294231>HetGAWDS>hibikeGAWDSYou retards just keep proving that you're the biggest faggots in this board. At least CGDCTGAWDS and YuriGAWDS don't cause het vs yuri bullshittery
>>268294404this is literally where the season peaked. hibike is nothing without the OG 3rd years
>>268291832lol
>>268294581If they're gonna edit in a personality for him, might as well make him a talking dog to make it more interesting.
Finale was 6/10, I would rather have the full performance rather than the flashback montage.The season was 8/10, I would rate it 7/10 at best, but ep12 saved it.Out of nowhere harp girl is cute af btw.
>>268293704can confirm this is the true ending
>>268294644
>>268294695Treefags, how much time has passed according to this?
>>268292462They obviously fingerblast Mayu
Was expecting teacher the moment she helped the marimba girl. Too bad for Shoe a student then fucks Kumiko sensei.
This is all I needed
>>268294905Haruka is very cute.
>>268294905Useless hags.
what is the age gap between taki and reina again?
>>268294905Outside of Kumiko, Asuka didn't really make an impact to the kouhais. Makes sense she didn't come back.
>>268294911>this is the only time we see her eyesbravo kyoani
>>268294905God I love Haruka so much I'm so glad I married her.
>>268294945A bit under 20 years.
that new glasses girl just makes me think she's like another version of asuka
>>268294974Dude will be in his 40s-50s when Reina shows up out of nowhere and confesses. Imagine the pure bewilderment he's going to experience.
>>268294718Im not a forestry expert, but from my knowledge around 3-5 years.Personally, I watched season 1 when it first came out and watched it with /a/ in 2015. It's now "current year" and I'm 29. I personally liked the ending, Kumiko becoming a teacher at the same school and Reina moving to the USA, I kinda wished they did a little more with romance with Shu and Kumiko but you know what It's not the end of the world. I'm just glad that the journey is over & I'm glad I was here for the ride.
>reina comes back>taki is dead
>>268295001>3-5 yearsSounds about right. I doubt going to university and becoming an assistant advisor takes any longer.That being said, how does teaching work in japan? I take it she also teaches normal lessons besides being a club advisor right?
>Reina still in America>Kumiko now working with Taki every dayIt's over for Reina.
What was Reina dad's reputation if she's trying to surpass him? Been too long for all these details, I don't remember some of the various older scenes in the ep.
KUMIKO SENSEI ASS
a setup for kanade and motomu would have been a bit amusing
Felt a bit rushed and generic. Other than the previous ep the whole season was kinda weak. S2 was the best. Liz was something uniquely ethereal. Can't remember the rest. Remember the floof.
>no taki sensei, i know you feel lonely, but we can't!>ahh!
This victory was amazing.HE WON BOTH GOLD AND A GIRLFRIEND-WIFE.
Mirei cute
>>268295328Shoop in "Shuuichi's wife" on the certificate and "Kumikobowl" on the side of the trophy.
>>268294561>grown up AsukaIt's literally been 2 years.
>don't say who's next presidentSort of bleh.
why were the other 2 featured as main girls? they were useless
>tfw you will never be taki and get to fuck reinawhy live
>>268295709>tfw you will never be taki and get to fuck KumikoFTFY
>>268295686yea been thinking that for a while
>>268295709>Reina will be watching american porn to get some ideas when fucking Taki-sensei.H-hot!
Ahahaha Kumiko can't into soli.>wanting a teacher who didn't even soliI shiggy diggy.
looking up at mama's mamas while she steps on you
A certain artist that made lewds died like two(?) years ago and didn't get to see the end. RIP.
>>268291461Fuck KumiShoe, fuck KumiRei, true OTP revealed
>kumiko got tricked into becoming a teachertheir keikaku succeeded
>>268296092Shuuichi showing up at the training camp or visiting the cluband Kumiko-sensei nonchalantly saying "Hai, watashi no kareshi desu".Cute and would be fun to see the students' reactions
The remembrance scene looks weird without her being soli. Like Mayu is being shown but there's memories unattached to her then shows Kumiko and Reina.
>>268296204Is Kumiko gonna bring in Hazuki and Midori to help out as well?
Taki x KumikoShoe x Reina
>>268296231All the bad memories were shown during the soli.
