Season 3 was good
It was very good, actually
Both Kumiko and Mayu are good characters and their conflict was expertly written because it originated from both of them having individual conflicting desires
You shouldn't hate Reina
She chose Mayu because she was slightly better than Kumiko and needed to choose her because that's who she is. She made the difficult choice to have the better player play
It's true that they were so close in skill level that it probably didn't make a difference for gold, but it was still the right choice for Reina to make
Some anons have said that it was a betrayal of Kumiko to recognize her sound and not chose her, but in my opinion it would have been a bigger betrayal if she had violated her own principles. In the end, the most important thing is that all three of them held to their convictions and became stronger because of it
Kumiko lost the soli, but she won every anon's heart
She truly is a best girl

>>273309540
I don't feel like arguing with you and your generic bullshit talking points and I'll hate Reina as much as I want, but I'll just say that Reina's decision comes across in a worse light given that she was a cunt the entire season. You can maybe overlook a hurtful but "omg so brave and moral" action from someone you respect. It's harder to do so when the character has spent the entire season being a shithead and has already burned any fondness or respect you formerly had for her to the ground.

Reina is more special than you and the fact you're offended by her superiority shows that you are untermensch

>>273309455
Maybe? To me, it felt like Mayu's character was made to be insecure and indecisive to the point that it invokes annoyance and frustration. Did you love that aspect of her?
>>
>>273309677
Reina is superior to nobody. She's stupid, unlikable, boring. She's the worst character in Hibike and it's hard to think of anyone who's less interesting and less likable than she is. She has no redeeming qualities. She's not even physically attractive, Lipstick-chan and Mayu are much hotter.

>>273309712
I can relate to her and I have a lot of tolerance for "whininess" even though most people consider it the worst thing in the world, though I'm not entirely sure why she even signed up when her personality makes her ill-fit for competitive events.

Mayu was fine, and the anime significant improved upon her characterization.

>>273309909
Mizore and Nozomi are full of problems, and they are really dislikable, but they are literal magnitudes more interesting than Reina.

>>273309540
I don't think it was a betrayal for Reina to pick Mayu. I think that was fine. What was not fine was Reina being an incredible turbocunt all year. As a member of leadership, she was negatively helpful. As a personal friend to Kumiko, she displayed the emotional intelligence of a pool of nuclear waste. Watching Reina all season was possibly even more exhausting than watching Mayu when she's walking up to Kumiko yet again.
>>
>>273309740
>I'm not entirely sure why she even signed up when her personality makes her ill-fit for competitive events.
She enjoys the eupho, the thrill of group competition, and giving her all. She dislikes the personal social drama that comes with that. Sometimes (oftentimes) what she enjoys and what she tries to avoid comes in one package. The soli competition at the end is all about personal competing wishes for all 3 key characters that wind up being mutually conflicting. Mayu's preferred outcome would have been to have given her best and have lost the soli competition. But she didn't, so she would have had to live with the stigma of being That Person, if it weren't for the grace that Kumiko offered her.

The only way for all of their wishes for all 3 characters to come true would have been for Reina to honestly believe that Kumiko was better. But she didn't. She kept to her musical honesty and brutally chose against her heart, leading to the collapse of the ideal outcome.

She did in the LN, KyoAni just chose to be cunts with an artsy 3deep5u ending to make redditors cream themselves over how stunning and brave Reina is.

All true, but the person you're speaking to is low IQ and low EQ, unfortunately, and can't do much besides read from a script.
>>
>>273310345
No she didn't because there was no dedicated public soli audition. In fact, the entire LN audition felt flat. KyoAni intentionally changed this, and it was for the better. With that change, it finally gave Mayu and Reina some satisfying internal conflict, as well as gave Kumiko an ultimate and very public test of leadership, far more significant than anything else up to this point. And the denouement of all that drama gave us Daikichiyama 2, the single best scene in the whole franchise. S3 episode 12 was peak anime, and I will entertain no objections.
>>
>>273310442
It does succeed in closing out their character arcs, but it's cringe when people say that Kumiko would have been more upset over Reina choosing her and felt betrayed by that. She's not some obsessively honor-bound Wuxia character. She'd have been conflicted over it, but it wouldn't have caused long-term pain (the way things actually played out very likely did). Kumiko's half-hearted blathering about meritocracy doesn't matter; she might not have felt betrayed by Reina's choice, but she wouldn't have felt betrayed by the opposite choice either. Reina, if she was in Kumiko's position, would have felt betrayed if someone threw her a bone like that, but Reina's an unlikable autistic weirdo. Kumiko is much closer to being a normal person. It's perfectly fine to say "It's admirable that Reina stuck to her ideals" but to go "No no you see Kumiko would have been even MORE hurt by Reina choosing her" is utter bullshit. Hell, that's part of the tragedy.
>>
>>273310687
I too think Kumiko would have been fine with Reina choosing her even if Mayu was marginally better than her. But that's because Kumiko always chooses to see Reina in a positive light and always gives her the benefit of the doubt.

And that's what hurt about S3. Kumiko supported Reina every step of the way in public and private to her own personal discomfort, and Reina never reciprocated when it mattered. The most I can say is that she (eventually and after far too much time has reasonably passed) apologized, so that counts for something maybe? Kumiko was way too good for her. Imagine tolerating Reina without her Kumiko handler.

>>273310687
>>273310835 here. I would like to add that what Kumiko told Reina up on Daikichiyama about how she was happy Reina lived up to her musical ideals was in the setting of Kumiko comforting Reina. Reina was feeling horrible about betraying (one of) their shared goals, and Kumiko was giving justification *to Reina* for Reina's decision - not just to make herself feel better but also to make Reina feel better. It just adds to the season's theme of "Reina does thing that hurts people, Kumiko has to pick up and mend the broken pieces."

Once again, Kumiko is too good for that autist. BOTYAY

Mayu gets into conflict with exactly one person in the band, but she will not compromise her attitude towards her own personal performance, much to her own social detriment. She feels awful about the whole thing the whole time.

Reina does not give one flying fuck what anyone in the band thinks about her, and everyone knows this. She would be that annoying first chair that no one likes if it weren't for being attached to Kumiko. Reina felt awful only once during the entire show and she goddamn should because that hurt to watch. Aside from that one moment, she is not merely awkward - she is literally trumpet assburgers.

>>
>>273330783
She is literally the band's commissar. Even the people that agree with her in principle are intimidated by her. When people talked about "bad vibes", Reina was a big chunk of those bad vibes.

As an aside, I wonder what the band must have thought about Reina's decision at the end. A huge portion of the band must surely have realized that that audition was not at all blind for Reina. I wonder how many people would have thought it was betrayal and how many people would have thought it was noble.
>>
>>273331160
I'd say 90 percent thought it was betrayal or otherwise the wrong decision, 10 percent noble. Most high schoolers, most adults even, are not that high-minded. The most common responses were probably some mixture of "What a bitch" "I understand where she's coming from, but that's heartless" "I wanted the leader to play with us..."
>>
I dislike the fact that Mayu played the solo not because I think Reina should have chosen Kumiko, but because it makes it feel like they only won gold because they poached the top player from a rival school and not because of Kiauji's efforts. I think it would've been better if Mayu was an extremely talented first year instead, to properly parallel Reina crushing Kaori's hopes and dreams in season 1

>>
>>273331367
I disagree. An extremely talented first year would just rehash trodden ground, plot-wise. We already had that in season 1. Mayu being a third year transfer student further highlights her "not-one-of-us"ness and the profoundly difficult social situation she found herself in. She chose Kitauji for being a top school. That was on her. But she couldn't have possibly predicted that the well-liked band president played her instrument and that there was going to be a soli that was going to be a perfect match for the hard working band president and her hard working best friend. It must have been Mayu's worst nightmare. As a third year, she didn't have a cohort of similarly fish-out-of-water first years to sympathize with. She was maximally isolated.

After 3 years he should have realized that when the skill level is virtually identical, he should take it upon himself to give the part to Kumiko because the morale boost the band would get from the beloved buchou playing the soli with her best friend vastly outweighs the benefit having a 1% better player does
All he needed to do was say that Kumiko played better at the audition and literally every single person in the band, including mayu, would have been happy AND they would have won gold

Let's not forget this whole thing starts by assassinating Taki's character. The dude who for some reason, woke up that morning and decided that he cannot pick the best soloist, after a streak of successes and improvements to the band over his years working as their conductor and decided to go along with Kumiko's retarded plan that could've backfired and imploded the morale of the group. Of course that didn't happen because the 3deep5u lessons of the story only apply to Kumiko and no other character.

To be fair, Taki already lobotomized himself and announced the public auditions for the soli. Kumiko merely made it slightly less stupid.

>>273333823
The public auditions aren't the issue. We're talking about the same dude who, in their first year, made an audition where the whole point was to prove that his judgement was right and the band should just fucking listen.
He's also someone who had a very clear vision and goals for the band, the whole idea that he heard two different performances (they do play the solo segment differently) when he probably had an idea of the sound he wanted for the competition in his mind, and then, only this time, he couldn't choose the one closest to that vision feels out of character considering how gifted he's supposed to be
It doesn't stop there. After, he not only acts like that completely going against his previous actions, he, instead of asking them to perform again and making a decision himself, decides to leave it to the most biased jury possible with an open vote because... uh... I don't even know. Oh, right. The author really wanted to ramp up the drama, force a tie, and have Reina be the executioner because sad or something.

I don't disagree with anything that you said. However, because of the drama, we got the emotional catharsis that was the Daikichiyama Redux scene, which I am unwilling to part with.

Neither the LN nor the anime had perfectly satisfying writing. The LN sorta just...petered out. Mayu remained a nothingburger and a waste of a character for the whole two volumes. Kumiko won, and that was it. It actually felt very anticlimactic. The anime, on the other hand, made Taki go full retard to effect its drama. I am willing to forgive its flaws because I think the presentation of conflicting personal goals for Reina, Kumiko, and Mayu was very gripping. I understand not everyone will agree with me.
>>
>>273334343
Mind you, I would've been fine if Taki picked Mayu again and Kumiko lost. How the whole thing felt way too fucking contrived pulled me entirely of the episode and the final scene at Daikichiyama just made me laugh at how retarded the whole thing felt because of how things got there.
At least the novel ending didn't go full retard and appreciate it for keeping things simple.

I remember watching the season and telling myself that this and another episode looked different to the rest, not just in how they were directed but also the linecount on the characters. It was only later that I found out the VEGfag was trying to save a sinking ship. Lmao Reina is such a bitch.

>>
>>273348668
I think you interpreted that in the opposite way of how I meant it. I'm glad people are mad at Reina. I think people who defend what she did are cold-hearted. Based Asian countries for raking her over the coals.
>>
>>273348764
I read that wrong, yeah.
They hated the writer more than Reina though. Reina was already a done character after they had the discussion where Reina said she was going to a conservatory and behaved like a piece of shit for most of the third year. There were plenty of reasons why Kumiko and Reina drifted apart after winning the competition even in the novels.
>>
>>273348639
Yes anon.

Kumiko did everything wrong and Mama did everything right, no reason to hate Reina though.

Because Reina is a cunt.

>>273349405
Difference in goals. They both want to go to a music related institution after graduating, but conservatories are places to live and breath music as opposed to universities courses. Reina views Kumiko not wanting to dedicated her life to music as deeply as she herself does as a betrayal too so she doesn't take Kumiko's decision as well as it might've seen initially. This story was done earlier with Mizore and Nozomi, you just need to consider Reina is just even more autistic about music than Mizore.

>As time went on, we saw less and less of Midori and Hazuki until, eventually, they became just two more faces in the halls. Happens sometimes, friends come in and out of your life like busboys in a restaurant. I heard that Midori got married out of high school, had four kids, and is now the forklift operator at the Kitauji Lumberyard. Hazuki tried several times to get into the SDF, but her eyes and her ear kept her out. Last I heard, she had spent some time in jail and was now doing odd jobs around Uji.
>Reina did get out. She enrolled in the college courses with me and, although, it was hard, she gutted it out like she always did. She went on to college and, eventually, became a lawyer. Last week, she entered a fast food restaurant. Just ahead of her, two men got into an argument. One of them pulled a knife. Reina, who had always made the best peace, tried to break it up. She was stabbed in the throat. She died almost instantly.

Reina would probably be just as heartless as a lawyer as she is as a friend.

I used to rule the world,
Seas would rise when I gave the word.
Now in the morning, I sleep alone,
Sweep the streets I used to own.
I used to roll the dice,
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes.
Listen as the crowd would sing,
Now the old king is dead, long live the king.
One minute, I held the key,
Next the walls were closed on me.
And I discovered that my castles stand,
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand.

This song perfectly describes Kumiko in S3.

Novels: Kumiko and Reina realise they are actually gay when they get to their 40s. Divorce their men and do what they want to do rather than what society wants. Perform covers on the streets with that flag

Anime: Kumiko the Teacher is secretly dating the world-class soloist act Reina.

Consider.
