Mizore Yoroizuka plays the oboe, and Nozomi Kasaki plays the flute in Kitauji High School concert band. As seniors, this will be their last competition together, and the selected piece "Liz and the Blue Bird" features a duet for the oboe and flute. "This piece reminds me of us." Nozomi says cheerfully, enjoying the solo, while Mizore's usual happiness to play with Nozomi is tinged with the dread of their inevitable parting. By all accounts the girls are best friends, but the oboe and flute duet sounds disjointed, as if underscoring a growing distance between them. Talk of college creates a small rift in their relationship, as the story evolves to reveal a shocking and emotional conclusion.

As someone who isn't that familiar with Japanese culture and not a big fan of manga, I found this simple film to be honest, sincere, and a little unfocused. And as a gay man who had his share of high school obsessions, you can't tell me Mizore isn't in love with Nozomi. :wink:

this is so exciting! it’s pretty unusual to find queer anime shows/films, and i haven’t watched it yet, but i can’t wait! i’ll be back to give my opinion after i watch it! edit: i watched it and it was absolutely incredible! i would genuinely rate this movie a 10/10. i play flute as well and i’m really similar to the character that plays flute, so it was really cool seeing how people see people like me! highly recommend!!!

To some extent I felt like the story had no clear direction. But i still liked it. Some feelings can be transported better in anime than in Hollywood movies I think. The ones between the lines if that makes sense. BTW: how cute is Liz ? :-)
