Sound! Euphonium Movie 3: Our Promise - A Brand New Day

It was NICE to get back to these sounds! Good movie packed with everything I expected.
 🎵 Looking forward to S3 starting on Patreon next week!

So this movie has a dub, and while Liz has a pretty good dub I can't fully recommend this one, cause Kumikos JP VA does such a good job that it's just hard to match. However there is one touch I absolutely love, when they are running in the rain and kumiko talks about worries of being left with regret at the end of all the effort. In the sub she just says "I believe it won't be in vain" but the dub line is "But that's (regret) all you'll ever have if you don't try. Trying is never a waste." I think that's just so beautiful as a reflection on her character arc and how far she's come. In general its great but means so much coming from her. It also feels a lot more in line with what shes trying to get across here, so its kind of a bummer that the subs miss out on such a big moment.

Shucks

Seeing the art style change with Liz and the Blue Bird, and then going back to the first style with this film was certainly strange, but these two movies have truly cemented this series as an absolute favorite for me. I think the emotional ride of the first and second season hit harder for me, but that is also because this film finishes with asking us how we deal with failure. To reach for getting gold at nationals and not even advancing to nationals. It really sucks. I remember having that same feeling with the state level competitions my junior year of high school, having what I thought was the best high school band we had in the three years up to that point, just to fall short. But where you find that headspace to be thankful for the experience and the motivation to improve for the next year...

"Lets see it?" - When the girl went to her junior for advice. Reminded me you are a teacher first. Kinda nice.

Oh that makes sense. I have no concept of animation so I just sorta ramble off reaction stuff to band related

DrumRollTony

I dont know if you read comments on your older videos, but you mentioned how out of step the walk in that one shot is. It was angle shot on rhythmic walk, and i think the storyborder hated animator in charge of it, because that sounds insanely hard to animate.

I know this is hardly relevant, but i was shocked that the main protagonist tried to date the trombone. I thought that she had rejected him in the past + giving him the cold shoulder for the entirety of season 2, so I was confused. But maybe i have no idea what im talking about. The frustrated first year euphonium needs to have some good listens of In the End after that

Recap movie 1 didnt really have extended scenes, except for Sunrise Festival https://youtu.be/Loc19ZmSbl4?si=pANu20RScBxbi8Nw Recap movie 2 had a lot of original scenes focusing on Asuka and Kumiko, plus the performances https://youtu.be/r60IXPDNdJ0?si=xa26zYmZapBE4JoQ

I personally like your nitpicks on how the concert band is portrayed. It's the reason I watch these reactions in the first place.

Ice

OK, Ill do that for this Wednesday

I'll also echo the calls for you to watch the ensemble contest movie before starting S3. I can provide you with an MKV file of the movie that has some minor subtitle edits by myself if you'd like it, since it's not available officially outside of Japan.

Jon Hanlon

Lol exactly!!

DrumRollTony

I'm glad someone else called out the use of Bolero at SunFes. The whole appeal of that piece is how it changes throughout! Even if it was appropriate for a marching ensemble, what's the point if the audience can't hear the whole thing?

Jon Hanlon

The Ensemble movie covers the events of the rest of their school year. The Japanese school year starts in April and ends in late March. Right now with the ending of this movie you are around summer time on the timeline. S3 events starts with the 3rd school year in April. So if you start S3 without seeing it you will have missed like half a year.

Auks

Highly recommend watching the Ensemble movie which gets the story running between this movie and the start of the 3rd season.

It's interesting seeing Kanade's approach in the "I want to be liked by everyone" thing. Usually when I see this type of character archetype it's usually someone faking being really nice, but Kanade seemed to play the field to the side and then when she saw a chance to get someone to open up to her she'd get really pushy and try to force it out. I feel like her chaotic nature could just blend into her actual personality now, like a class clown type of thing

Also visited the city that the show is supposedly taking place in. It is called Uji and is known for matcha (japanese green tea). A lot of the places in the show can be visited IRL, including Kumiko's bench (there were 10 people taking photos of that bench when I visited lol)

I recently visited Kyoto and this show is extremely popular there. Once you exit the main train station you see giant promotion posters about S3 .

kinetic98

Yeah, it's so nice to see all of the ex-first years grow into leaders. Kumiko especially has the steel, although it's covered with velvet Nice that we got to see the ex-third years show up! And it's a shame that the ex-second years weren't able to lead the band to victory, although it was in dire need of rebuilding after the previous years of disruption. But they did what they could to leave it in a better position than they inherited it. On to next year!

Yep, Ensemble Contest is needed as a bridge, and doesn't really have any recap material or anything

Chris Hee

Like Eyal said, Ensemble Contest arc is a must watch before season 3

Loayza

there's is still one movie (1h long) before season 3 called "ensemble contest" that is recommended to watch before s3 if you haven't planned on doing so the full name is "Sound! Euphonium: Ensemble Contest Arc" movies 1 and 2 are recap like you said, so they aren't a must watch unlike ensemble contest
