Reception

In April 2018, it was reported that the novels had more than 1.4 million copies in print in Japan. [59]

The series has often been criticized by Western viewers for perceived queerbaiting with regards to the relationship between lead characters Kumiko Oumae and Reina Kousaka. [60] [61] [62] Crunchyroll's Twitter account acknowledged the pairing by tweeting a screenshot from the show, [63] [64] which was still airing and being officially simulcast by the service at the time, in the wake of the legalization of same-sex marriage in the United States.

In 2015, Nio Nakatani praised the anime for its perceived yuri aspects, which she said had inspired her while she was drawing Bloom Into You . [65]

Notes

  1. Kitauji (北宇治), is translated as "North Uji" at the English official website. Although the subtitle is sometimes translated as Welcome to Kitauji High School's Musical Instrument Club, suisōgaku (吹奏楽) actually means "concert band (wind ensemble)", not "musical instrument".
  2. The music from the "Gendarmes' Duet" from Offenbach's opera Geneviève de Brabant .
  3. Fictional female composer.
  4. The fourth of five required pieces for real-life All-Japan Band Competition 2015.
  5. In the anime's plot, the piece was credited by Shindo Masakazu.
  6. Due to the plot, the piece name was not disclosed until the end of episode 2.13, so it was uncredited for episodes 2.3 and 2.9.
  7. Fictional male composer.
  8. Music from promotion video for season 1.

Director credits

  1. Although Yamada is credited as シリーズ演出 (series unit director), her role in the series' production is equivalent to Ishihara's own role.
