Synopsis

The long-awaited new work will be screened in theaters as a medium-length animation in the summer of 2023!

Along with the summer brass band competition, the ensemble contest, commonly known as "Ancon," is a place where exciting performances are held. The performance of several people in one group has a charm different from that of a competition.

In order to participate in the Kyoto prefectural tournament of Ancon, a representative team is selected in the school's preliminary round. However, with over 50 members, the Kitauji High School brass band is facing a variety of problems! Will Kumiko, the newly appointed head of the club, be able to make it through the preliminary rounds?

The days of struggle begin.

As an appetizer for the upcoming season it's perfect, I'm left craving more.

The pacing was great, much better than the two summary films, and chikai no finare. True concert band nerds may be left wanting for more performance scenes however.

While it accomplished a lot in its runtime, there was time that could have been better used.

I wish it could've been longer but it gives fans mostly the kind of service they'd want from Hibike.

Only con is that you need to be in Japan to be able to watch it. As OVAs go, it doesn't get much better I think.

What an amazing tease and set up for the 3rd season. Please watch the HIBIKE! EUPHONIUM MOVIE 3: CHIKAI NO FINALE movie before starting this one as it has characters that you might not be familiar with since this is still about Kumiko's 2nd year.
I am pleased with the pacing as it felt just right and the continued character growth for Kumiko is just chef's kiss. The pacing from the last movie felt a bit off and rigid, but this had a much more fluid and familiar flow from the first 2 seasons with the storyline and it felt like a warm welcome to ...

When I saw that this OVA had been announced a while back, there was nothing that could dampen my mood and as the months passed by I grew more and more excited to watch it. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but given that it has been 4 years since the 3rd film (the most recent Hibike release), I was at least expecting something worthwhile to watch. However, I was disappointed after watching the OVA because nothing of substance really happened, the ensemble contest does not matter at all and we didn't even get to hear the group that won!

The whole 50 minutes ...
