Sound! Euphonium 2
Really dug this episode. It moved at a much faster clip than the previous one, the new teacher is awesome and we're pretty much done with character introductions.
So let's talk about Kousaka. Kousaka is just that kind of person. You know, someone who is extremely (and by extremely, I mean EXTREMELY) determined and hungry to win. The type of person who puts her body and soul into "winning." That determination is probably why she's good, and the reason why she got very upset after "losing."
On the other hand, Aoi is a different kind of person altogether. She failed at her entrance exams, and doesn't want to compete for nationals, so from what we can gather, she's the type of person who doesn't put her body and soul into trying to win. That way, losing doesn't hurt as much.
I'm looking forward to seeing how they both develop.
