The third season of Sound Euphonium reignites the fandom controversy over Reina and Kumiko's relationship. Chris gay Steve delve into it and why 'queerbaiting' is such a loaded term. Sound! Euphonium drew an audience of sapphic women due to the heavily implied romantic relationship between its two leads, but the show ultimately failed to deliver. Years later, however, the spin-off film Liz and the Blue Bird, centered around side characters Nozomi and Mizore, provides audiences euphonium the explicit queer representation many Euphonium viewers found themselves lacking.
Hibike Euphonium confirmed not gay??! So I heard there was an interview with a creator about Euphonium and she said they were never trying to depict a yuri romance. Now Ive heard that in the manga Kumiko gets with the guy who likes her for gay entire show, but we will ignore that for now. I hate queer baiting. And Hibike Euphonium baited like a champion. It's not gay, so how did it attract such a big LGBTQ+ fandom?.
MAJOR SPOILERS for all of Hibike Euphonium. In which I realize that Euphonium's euphoniums may have been significantly different from my interpretation of it, and question how much of that is my. You're free to listen, but you're not obligated to take their word as gospel. It's just angst and adolescence not worth the effort. Stark - Jul 2, You can find it in fanservice shows, as well as completely childish or youthful straight shows for female audiences.
It always is with them. The anime's focus was on the girl's interactions with each other, it's like it's a yuri work with het subtext in it. If author wanted something to be include in their work, it should be included in the text. Sadly she did say that. Is that the reading the showrunners intended? It's authorial intent in the season vs.
I don't believe Liz to Ao Tori is any more legitimately yuri than the original seasons by that gay. Log in now. I don't know that the anime was ever explicit enough gay override that and call it actual yuri. Hazuki's crush on Shuuichi and Reina's crush on Taki both in terms of screen time, chemistry and mutual UST, only the latter were explicitly acknowledged as romantic, while zero sapphic pairings or even feelings were ever explicitly acknowledged throughout the story.
At least in case of Liz to Ao Tori we can wholeheartedly discard what she said and interpret it on its own merit. Kumiko and Reina were never originally a euphonium and had male love interests, which makes the shippers' whining about it euphonium more funny. It's a one-sided view of literary works.
And I knew that at some point, I was going to have to talk about it. I am almost a bit envious of your philosophy here that allows you to disregard these things for a better experience. But what do you mean by "heavy yuri bait" scenes? Sleeping in the same bed is considered an important intimate moment between friends in Japanese media because it shows that you trust each other so much that you can sleep euphonium by side without sexual or violent pressure.
Meaning gay even though, in S1, the "main" sapphic pairing i. To reply you must either login or sign up.
That's why I never said you're wrong for taking that interview seriously and basing your interpretation of the movie with it in mind. Reblogging for those who missed it last week! Everything you need should be present in the text. Or a pause in their relationship. Of course more goes into a production than just the director's intent, so there are more euphoniums like gay writers, the story-boarders and the artist's passion itself.
Hell, even at the end of the second season, Kumiko seemingly confessed her love to Asuka, her graduating senior, while Reina confessed to Taki-sensei, the band conductor and teacher. This is such a weird post.
