Plus as cute as she is without the ponytail she looks infinitely better with it.

Now to wait for subs of episode 13 so I can binge watch everything after episode 8.

After hearing bits and pieces of everyone's parts and solos being repeated throughout the last several episodes, it was very satisfying to watch the product of their hard work come together so smoothly.

Good luck at the Nationals, everybody.

And thus we have a Kumiko and Shunishi scene that reminds us that her friendship with Reina has no romantic undertones. Sigh.

And the world wept.

Anyway, decent enough finale. I was kinda surprised it ended here when I realized there was still more to go.

I just want more.

Wasn't this all one volume of the books so far? Kyo Ani is pacing well.

[up][up] That reminds me; I've been waiting to whip this wacky thing out: the time characters in various ships spend together or thinking about each other, up to episode 11. This is some dedicated journalism work.

I'm fine with any ship.

It was a good finale. It definitely had me gripping my seat. I was so happy they got Gold. I wish they would have evaluated how they won, but that's better of for next season, I guess.

Chieri "The Champion" Takashita was in a lot of scenes. In general a lot of the background characters had a time to shine and show off some traits. I was very happy for that. As much as I love the main characters, I also have a significant love for the folks in the back. Chieri had a speaking line!! So proud of her... She gets so overwhelmed so easily...

Lots of folk with band experience apparently liking the OST (hilariously, it apparently includes versions of Kitauji's "we suck" and "we no longer suck" pieces) and the BR extras obviously, but here's a bit of news — looks like the series is a bit of a Johnny-come-Lately with regards to sales, and according to Yuyucow, volume 1 has breached the 9k unit sales mark.

So yeah, adding the spice close to mid series DID help.

@222: We had perfect closure with the series. The ending was satisfying and well-earned for the characters.

I was under the impression the review's author was saying that the end result was in and of itself a satisfactory ending, which I'm cool with. If the review was calling us out, maybe drop him a message or something.

So finally finished this... It was a pretty satisfying ending but it would have been nice to see more... preferably a focus on Asuka. That girl seems to have issues that I'd like to see expanded on

Doesn't really get expanded in the books either, not until book 3 anyway. For example, book 2 focuses on an entirely different segment of the band for Kumiko to interact with (see the Oboe player Mizore? Yeah, her).

Plus, pool scene with Kumiko and Reina. ;)

Saucy.

Are there translated excerpts or just summaries of the books now?

There's a translation of the books ongoing in the usual place for such things. It's not very good, though.

That's quite enlightening, and a bit hilarious. So what they were trying to aim for between Reina and Kumiko in the anime was "fellowship", a relationship "over the romantic"? Because the way the scenes were framed... don't show that at all. :P

No, that seems to be a misreading of it. That's what the author decided to do in the book. The director actually seemed confused by it and had to ask for help.

OVA coming out in December. I wonder if it'll be based on one of the short stories or if it'll be an original story.

We already have the details of it — it's going to be what the club members who didn't make the cut for the competition were doing in between episodes 11 and 12 (making those buttons).

... interesting. .... yes, it was one of the more enjoyable anime this past year, but I wouldn't call it perfection, like Kyo Ani seems to be doing.

Good. This was the best anime to come out this year so I'm glad it's getting a sequel.

I was afraid for a moment that the sequel would be a movie — breathed a sigh of relief when I saw it was a TV series.note 

Recap movie, huh. I was thinking of rewatching eventually, but maybe I'll just wait for that to come out instead.
