Une émouvante et délicate histoire d’amitié entre deux lycéennes, NOZOMI et MIZORE, toutes deux musiciennes, aussi proches que différentes... NOZOMI est une jeune femme extravertie et très populaire auprès de ses camarades de classe , doublée d’une talentueuse flûtiste. MIZORE, plus discrète et timide, joue du hautbois. MIZORE se sent très proche et dépendante de NOZOMI, qu’elle affectionne et admire. Elle craint que la fin de leur dernière année de lycée soit aussi la fin de leur histoire, entre rivalité musicale et admiration. Les 2 amies se préparent à jouer en duo pour la compétition musicale du lycée Kita Uji. Quand leur orchestre commence à travailler sur les musiques de Liz und ein Blauer Vogel (Liz et l’Oiseau Bleu), NOZOMI et MIZORE croient voir dans cette oeuvre bucolique le reflet de leur histoire d’adolescentes. La réalité rejoindra-t-elle le conte ? (Eurozoom)

This is a thoughtful poetic movie about two girls and in parallel, it also depicts a fairy tale, as a story within a story about a lonely young woman and a cheerful blue bird. Because of the pleasant presentation, pretty good minimal-style background music, and a very good ending (who Liz and the bluebird actually represent...), this is definitely a very high standard production that deserves a lot of praise. The initial slow pace almost put me to sleep, however, soon I was getting into a very enjoyable narrative that appealed to me as much as the original Sound! Euphonium anime series did! (By the way, you do not have to watch Sound! Euphonium to get into this spin-off sequel at all). This movie is all about feelings, and it gets quite emotional as the affection the two main female protagonists share gets very complicated and ambiguous in places, just as it would in real life. I am also going to add something as I did not say it before regarding Sound! Euphonium - that, under certain circumstances, because the emotional aspect of the relationship between the two main female protagonists is portrayed in such a beautiful way, this (and Sound! Euphonium) could be the greatest example of Girl’s Love (yuri) anime I have ever seen. As it is, it is probably (albeit ambiguously and in a complex way) "just" about a very strong friendship, even though it is also very beautiful. 8.4/10.
