We knew that the new year would mark a whole lot of promotion for the upcoming theatrical Sound! Euphonium anime feature film and Kyoto Animation is not disappointing. While we’ve got some time until the feature film, they’ve now released a new lengthy for Japan trailer for the first film. The movie that will serve as a compilation of the first TV season that aired last year. It’ll be called Sound! Euphonium the Movie: Welcome to the Kitauji High School Concert Band and has a firm date of April 23rd, 2016 when it’ll make its theatrical debut.
A sequel TV series is also in the works. The TV series will be a follow-up to the first season and not a side story. The property already had a new OVA coming up with the seventh volume of the manga that came out on December 16th, 2015.
Check out our review of the first season.
Plot concept: It’s finally time for Kumiko Oumae to enter high-school and begin the next chapter of her life. Being a member of concert band all throughout the lower-grades, one of her first orders of business is scouting out the band at her new school to see how they compare to what she has grown up with. After actually hearing them, however, Kumiko is…surprised to say the least. The concert band of Kitauji High School is terrible, especially compared to the borderline-national’s band Oumae was in earlier. Students in the band have gotten lazy and fallen into a slump in which none of them particularly care about the band’s future. But all of that changes when they meet their new teacher, professional composer Noboru Taki.
