The grown-up versions of the characters are so unbelievably pretty, it's insane.
Very happy they didn't skip the music this episode!
Kumiko finally being comfortable to share Asuka's piece was a great moment.
It was also fun to see Kumiko using Taki's mannerisms as the advisor haha. Nice nod.
This season was amazing. The whole anime was amazing. It's KyoAni at their absolute best.
While it's not the best of all the other entries, it certainly stands on its own. My main criticism of this season is the lack of actual music playing. We couldn't really grow along with the band like we did in S1 and 2.
As far as I'm aware, this is the end. I will dearly miss it, but I'm sure I will rewatch it many times, like I already have with the previous seasons.
I don't think there will be anything like Hibike anytime soon
The pacing is my prime complaint. It was clear they had to rush the story to fit in 13 episodes. But overall that makes it a distinction between "it's a great watch" versus "it's one of the all-time greats"
