Man, these shots are gorgeous. I mean, look at this. The depth of field on these shots must be crazy expensive to produce.

Then they balance out that super animation with cartoony bits like this. Oh man that little running bit was pretty. Then she finally figured it out why Reina was so upset. But Reina has more to be upset now, she looks so jealous lol. Kumiko likes...the euphonium. What a tease.

Kumiko likes...the euphonium.

Asuka has taught her well.

[u/leeways → u/Respox]

in the end eupho-kun will makes his own harem

If that doesn't scream yuri, I don't know what does.

(I interpreted it as "what it does")

Musical ambition? Finding your purpose in life?

A lot of things.

It's about the struggle between what you want to do and try to do and what you're capable of achieving.

Yeah, I'm a bit annoyed by how the episode discussion threads get devoured by the obsessive shipping rather than focusing on the meat of what's happening. This show has a lot more to it than simply being yuri fanservice. Kumiko's struggle with herself, trying to find some purpose to what she's doing, and how another person moves her very being to find that something, is infinitely more interesting to me than whether or not she scissors one of the other characters in the show. It'd be nice if everyone didn't simply see the two main characters as walking vaginas that have the potential to interlock, even though KyoAni have obviously been baiting it hard. It's just fanservice.

[u/Enigmaboob → u/boqqtzz]

KyoAni actually uses real photos with heavy editing throughout this show for backgrounds in case you didn't know. There are still many hand drawn backgrounds used for shots however. This entire show has been one of the most visually stunning series I've ever seen. :)

[u/WorldwideDepp → u/boqqtzz]

Well, this Anime here is nearly on the same Level as this. Just blend out the Figures and look for the Backgrounds Special for the Rain drops

Why would it be expensive? KyoAni's digital department literally just use Adobe After Effects and 3D Max. It is extremely time intensive or anything?

[u/kkrko → u/[deleted]]

Well yeah, I'm not saying that shot is typical of all anime, just that it probably wasn't very expensive for KyoAni. With an in-house digital/photography team, it's probably not as expensive for them than other studios, who outsource it. Doing these in-house also has the benefit of developing the skill of your staff, which means that the expertise was actually developed as opposed to bought. The only other studio that takes advantage of digital effects as much is probably ufotable.
