About Sound! Euphonium

If you are hunting for a new drama series, Sound! Euphonium (響け！ユーフォニアム) deserves a look (2015). The setup goes like this. At its core: Spring in the first year of high school. Kumiko, a member of the brass band in junior high school, visits the high school brass band club with classmates Hazuki and Sapphire.

Soon after, there, she comes across Reina, her former classmate from junior high. Hazuki and Sapphire decide to join the club, but Kumiko can’t make up her mind. She recollects her experience with Reina at a competition in junior high school.

As a drama title, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Hazuki Katou (Ayaka Asai) and Kumiko Oumae (Tomoyo Kurosawa) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. The run is 13 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
