Synopsis
After swearing off music due to an incident at the middle school regional concert band competition, euphonist Kumiko Oumae enters high school hoping for a fresh start. As fate would have it, she ends up being surrounded by people with an interest in the high school brass band. Kumiko finds the motivation she needs to make music once more with the help of her bandmates, some of whom are new like novice tubist Hazuki Katou; veteran contrabassist Sapphire Kawashima; and band vice president and fellow euphonist Asuka Tanaka. Others are old friends, like Kumiko's childhood friend and hornist-turned-trombonist Shuuichi Tsukamoto, and trumpeter and bandmate from middle school, Reina Kousaka. However, in the band itself, chaos reigns supreme. Despite their intention to qualify for the national band competition, as they currently are, just competing in the local festival will be a challenge—unless the new band advisor Noboru Taki does something about it.

kuchikiandkuchiki★★★★★AnimeAs I've not watched the series, this is solely based on the movie itself. Effort and hardwork is needed to achieve one's goals. This is especially true in this story as a lot of the members of the club were beginners and the other members aren't taking practice as seriously considering the level their club is aiming for. As the movie went on, the characters do develop into better players capable of making their goal a reality. Although the movie was good, it lacked depth into the characters' emotions and thinking. The audience may feel that they were following on with the character's journey but due to the lack of closer insight into the struggles of each character, it's not enough to move you. It does, however, do a good job of introducing you to the world of Sound Euphonium and luring you to dig deeper by either watching the series or reading the novels or the manga. Overall, I think people who have watched the series or those who have not can enjoy it.
j_k_c★★★★☆EP 1If you are thinking that you can just substitute this movie instead of watching the 13 ep. anime then you are horribly mistaken. Yes, this is like a recap for the s1 with some small additional scenes but this movie in my opinion is some kind of a refresher for people who will watch s2 and thought that it's a hassle to rewatch s1. You are missing the character development and you wouldn't even know the characters deeply (i.e. If I asked you who Sapphire was you wouldn't know who that is). I don't have any complaints about the art and animation of KyoAni since they have been doing a consistently great job in both the anime and this movie👌
