After swearing off music due to an incident at the middle school regional brass 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.

A cute series about the orchestra, the relationships in the team and the sacrifices necessary to achieve the goal. Lots of music, rehearsals and fights within the team. It looks easy and leaves a pleasant impression. There's even a schoolgirl in love with conductor Tucky. The plot is very realistic and interesting, despite the very everyday things. The graphics are excellent, one of the most enjoyable titles of recent years in principle. Nodame Cantabile is a healthy man. The first and second films contain recaps. In the second, the chronology was changed and part of the scenes were finished, so that the story was told by another member of the orchestra.

What they get, unfortunately, is Yui Hirasawa, who's never held a guitar in her life, but she's determined to learn! Will the school halls come alive with the sound of music? close
