S4E23 - SOUND! EUPHONIUM Season 1 Review (2015)

Part 6 of our Kyoto Vacation is titled ‘Yamada Naoko Strikes Back; or, I Have no Voice and I Must Sound! Euphonium.’ And from here on, we’re looking at the second half of that title, as we review Kyoto Animation’s beloved adaptation of Takeda Ayano’s Sound! Euphonium novels (co-directed, of course, by the one and only Yamada Naoko). In today’s episode, we’re looking at the 13 episodes (and 1 OVA) of the show’s first season, from 2015, a spectacular stretch of television that sees KyoAni taking on perhaps its biggest animation challenge yet: Meticulously, lovingly, and accurately drawing an entire concert band’s worth of instruments as they are practiced and performed. They rise to the challenge, of course, while also delivering a huge ensemble of characters with an extremely intense relationship at the show’s core, making for a very special season of TV indeed.

Enjoy, and come back next week as we make our way to Nationals with the second season of Sound! Euphonium!
