I think otherwise Lelouch started a rebellion and decided to kill those who hid in his family and empire's shadows.

I personally liked the ending of ep 13. Cut at Reina's line, roll the credits and music, and the epilogue just there to answer a question left open. Adding more/replacing the slideshow would kill the momentum imo, that's for an extra episode like S1 did (shoutout Oregairu Kan OVA I'll always white knight for it) 10th anniversary crossing my fingers re: performances, I think having only the Nationals adapted works to build up suspense, especially for the audition with Mayu. I think if there's already an adapted Kumiko performance and the Mayu performance didn't get on screen my brain would have connected the dots.

S3 actually reminded me quite a bit of Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo with everything going on in it, from Mayu's past to Kumiko's arc (thinking about it the Kanade scene in Chikai also ties into that impression). Bonus being Jukki Hanada being credited with script on some episodes there also. p.s mizore = mashiro

KyoAni hasn't had problems "adjusting" LN canon in the past, they had every opportunity to kick Shuichi to the curb (or, alternatively, develop the romance into something marginally believable). Disappointed by that element, but overall I was impressed by S3. A lot of great anime end up dropping the ball at the end, but Sound! Euphonium nailed it.

a term I like to use for characters like these two is "necessary evil" it's not that they want to march their friends to their death or slay them themselves, become mass killers of the public populace, or war criminals, but it was what they deemed necessary for the present circumstance of the land they reside in

they should kiss

An interesting thing I'd like to add is that with Yuuko the most conventionally competent leader, that year was a failure but the year they had a soft loving timid pres who solved things by being true and vulnerable, they made the miracle run, and ofc what do we get in S3? Kumiko taking Harukas approach but to the next lvl. Kinda shows what type of leadership the show values. There's also a bit of mirroring between the 3 of Kumiko/Haruka, Reina/Asuka and Shuichi/Kaori.

Still need to finish the vid but wanted to say thanks for sharing your all's takes, really awesome to hear

The best ending would have been Hanneman finishing his research.

Holy shit i love that song that plays at the start.

Shuichi did play a role in bringing Mamiko and Kumiko together in season 2. It was him who told Mamiko that Kumiko has always adored her and picked up eupho because of her.

Season 2 episode 9 is still my favourite of the show.

I want to watch this so bad but I have to watch the whole anime first T_T

What an amazing 2.5 hours you guys! Please, please make a vlog or at least a couple of shorts of your pilgrimage to Uji! I'm off to watch your previous pod next ;)

The whole thing about meritocracy: Kumiko asserts that kitauji is a meritocracy the entire time, and that it’s more important to stand by it, than worry about “emotional baggage.” Yet Taki makes the move to have an extra tuba and even says they can just not play the more difficult parts. Is this not a contradiction? Are they not saying, we are a meritocracy, unless that holds us back from “the goal we decided on at the beginning of the year”?

I'm exactly like UTS now, seeing the show that I've been watching and waiting for 4 or 5 years end is both and devastating This show is just a masterpiece Edit: 38:45 I believe that considering how good of a player and how close of a friend she is midori probably was able to diferentiate between the two aswell

1:21:31 nailed on the head lmao

Are you guys going to make the trip to Japan in November an open one for all Eupho fans to come with you?

its never gay guys so lets not force gay into this

Loved the pod! AND THE RIRIKA LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad she was mentioned, especially since the last episode had a scene where she was teaching her kouhai how to make a reed, just as Mizo-senpai did for her. So good!

LEGEND OF GALACTIC HEROES >>>>>>>>ALL HOLLYWOKESHIT SERIES "FOR EVER"! & ALL SCIFI CENTURY SERIES. "EVER"! KUMIKO OUMAE, HILDEGARD VON MARIENDORF, FREDERICA GREENHILL... & TODA MARIKO>>>>>>>ALL MARY SUE'S STRONG MALE CHARACTER HOLLYWOKESHIT. "EVER".!

Novels reader here: None of the endings is better than the other. Both add something unique to the franchise. Novels finale is very satisfying, it gives the readers what they've been waiting for after 10+ years following the series. Anime finale has this grittiness, it's even painful to watch but gives the characters so much room to grow. I like them both and I'm so grateful to have been able to experience this awesome series. I just love Eupho so much.

I think the reason the recordings for the soli re auditions being so close came down to personal preference between passion and criteria. You can tell Kumiko’s performance is more focused on being more expressive as her pitch and articulation is more flexible which is why you hear the duration of notes being played being slightly off by the tiniest of margins, thus standing out next to Reina’s part. Mayu’s performance is slightly more technical however as she backs off her expressive approach in favor of technicality in the piece itself supporting Reina’s part making it sound slightly more balanced. In concert bands, judges will be far more harsher in judging that technical and balanced side in performances and rarely ever give leeway for expressiveness IF it simultaneously detracts from the original intent of the composer’s idea of how they wrote the piece to be played (and what is written in the sheet music). Which is what Kumiko’s audition did, even if it was so close to the point that you couldn’t tell because of how equally talented both of them were. It’s just that Reina probably knew that those tiny margins could easily make the difference from getting Gold or failing to another school.

Who is fan translating the novels? I think this season i needed to wait till everything is released, and then binge

how bout my goat shuichi

Never been happier to be subscribed, have rung the bell to get notifications, liked the video, and leave this comment to boost the pod for the algorithm in my life.

pog

my prediction at the national competition, Kyoani will create a condition where Kumiko unconsciously plays the solo part.

Jokes on ya, Kumiko would be a teacher/instructor soon. Reina on the other hand would pursue her music career in America. They'd probably not meet for a long time. But their future selves would cross again, hopefully. P.S. Would love to also see the future of both Kaori-senpai, Asuka-senpai, Mizore-senpai, Nozomi-senpai and even Mayu. Edit: the S3 opening has lyrics saying "Crying because I was so frustrated it felt like I might die." which directly corelates to Kumiko's emotional breakdown during EP12 of S3.

okay here's a thing... neither the kingdom nor the alliance had a rampant crest corruption... it was primarily the empire that had such full scale corruption, the church in way forced the crest system so the issue seems to have been the empire internally in the first place... but Edelgard blamed the church Then ironically her new system propogates the very tragedy she was subjected to, in fact strictly speaking it's the very same system as the Brittanian empire goes by

Lelouch became evil to defeat the greater evil then sacrificed himself to end the cycle Edelgard started a revolution to fix injustices she perceived staining her hands with evil and continuing to perpetuate the bloody cycle, how long till someone will attempt to overthrow her regime for whatever imperfection they see... how many uprisings will she have to put down to secure "peace" I think they have similar ideologies but with an ideology like this, how intelligent you are means everything... Lelouch was a brilliant mind that played the world like a chess board... Edelgard was a fool, simply a pawn in the Agarthan's game, falling for their own propaganda despite them being the ones that killed her family hook line and sinker

This was so fun and informative to listen to!

Love those soccer references!

How to watch Ensemble Contest? I could not figure this out

UTS!

Holy shit! Just discovered this and I'm loving it

This season made me love Kumiko even more, what a incredible character

Under the Scope ❤

lost it at “omama”

1:18:25 there has been such a drought in news about 20th Century Electricity Catalog that its entry on MAL got deleted. i personally think after Eupho ends we will get some news about it, maybe they're already working on it since they finished Eupho S3 so early. this was a great discussion and i'm glad the podcast's back, excited to hear your thoughts when the anime finishes. i'm loving this season as well

49:10 "... and then Kanade walking by saying 'You gonna take that?'" LMAO that made me laugh so hard 😂 I can totally see that happening

Can't believe Jack "Don't call me Under the Scope" Johnson and Gianni "Please I'm begging you call me Subtitled Anime" Navas are back at it again on the Subtitled Anime "Who thought this was a good name for SEO" Podcast.

Welcome back!

I think your guess is right because I'm a fan of kumirei 💖

Can someone please tell me which episode kikuhiko was performing as a woman?

no spoilers please, my money is kumiko becoming a music teacher/conductor

I feel like there is lot of bad takes here. Let's start with Lelouch (because it's much shorter story). He did everything for revenge. He was only using revolution for his goal. He ultimately sacrificed himself for redemption. He went from villain to hero, but just because he were able make right decisions in end doesn't he was in right whole time (but yes Black knights did fight for right cause. That's not even question) Everything said about El here is basically wrong. She didn't suffer by hands of church, nobility or even crest system. She suffered lot, but throwing blame on wrong target never helped anything. Heck in Empire church has literally zero power as it was kicked out and as Emperor she had all power to change political landscape (especially as she has support of two mightiest families of nation). And honestly status quo wasn't that bad in Fodlan and there is no guarantees it will be better under her rule. Especially as she believes that everything will be fine just by destroying old order, without idea what it should be replaced with.

Spoilers: Kumiko becomes a teacher and is hinted to be married to Shuichi. Reina goes to the states to pursue her music.

i was feeling this video until my stomach also started feeling something 😖

Spoiler................................ . . . . . Kumiko ends up with shuichi and Reina go to EUA.
