In addition, the show’s official website revealed that TRUE will perform the new season’s opening, while the North Uji Quartet performs the closing theme.
Sound! Euphonium aired during the spring 2015 broadcast season. The 13-episode series was helmed by Tatsuya Ishihara (Clannad After Story, Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions) at Kyoto Animation. Shoko Ikeda (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) provided character designs, while Jukki Hanada (Nichijou – My Ordinary Life, Love Live! School Idol Project) took charge of series composition.
PonyCan USA currently holds the rights to the series in North America. The company is planning a Blu-Ray release, though specific release dates, formats, or pricing are still unknown. In addition to the physical release, Crunchyroll is streaming the series in its entirety on their digital platform.
Compilation film Sound! Euphonium the Movie: Welcome to the Kitauji High School Concert Band (Gekijo-ban Hibike! Euphonium ~ Kitauji Koko Suisoraku-Bu e Yokoso~) hit Japanese theaters on April 23. The second season of the show is due to première in October.
