Premise: Oumae Kumiko joins the high school band club, led by a famous new advisor whose training is strict. Aiming for nationals, the club must work hard to overcome their differences.

The Good: I enjoyed the first season of Sound Euphonium quite a bit. It introduced things like the schism between the various grades and handled it well. The friendship between Kumiko and Reina was great, it was fun watching them grow closer and they had a lot of moments together. Asuka was also the absolute best. Her hilarity brightened every scene she was in.

The Bad: The second season of Sound Euphonium tainted my good feelings from the first. There were no more good Kumiko/Reina moments. What little Reina there was focused on her crush on their advisor, and I found it creepy how everyone supported it. I didnt like anything to do with those two new characters (Nozomi, Mizore) that they introduced. It felt like a retread of the drama between the grades from the first season. Kumiko also really shouldnt have had anything to do with that plot, but she kept being in the perfect spot to eavesdrop, and then everyone would decide this random first year was the one to fix their unrelated issues. It all felt hollow, like this was only happening because Kumiko was the protagonist. Not even Asuka could escape being ruined by the drama vortex that was Sound Euphonium S2.

Overall: If Sound Euphonium was only one season, Id probably rank it a 7 or an 8/10. The second season dragged so hard that I was left with very few good feelings by the end of it. I still seriously considered Asuka for my top 100 characters. When I think about her now, though, I dont remember her fun moments. I think of that awful subplot with her mother.

COMING UP TOMORROW:
222: Im curious how this anime ranked so low.
221: This anime shouldve produced a better anime.
