Do we have any chance of getting these movies west-side? Someone HAS to license these, PLEASE!

Well this is rather surprising and unexpected. I hated season 2, but I'm willing to watch more of this franchise, since I loved season 1...

Yes! Hype! Maybe CR can get them? Or maybe someone will put it in theaters here in the US? Otherwise I won't be able to see them. Great that they continued the story though! :3 I'm glad it did well enough for them to do this.

Will these movies adapt those side stories from the novels that weren't adapted before ???

The yuribait never ends....

Guess this shows that Hibike has a huge community. Good news for them.

Okay, so I was excited when I read the headline. While it wasn't as good as Season 1 (Probably because Naoko Yamada was busy working on A Silent Voice) I still thought Season 2 was pretty solid and I'm excited to see where the story leads.

And then I read a bit further and saw that magic name. Naoko Yamada. Naoko Yamada is directing the Nozomi and Mizore movie. Oh my God I love KyoAni so much. I was just saying before how KyoAni need to give her more chances as a director.

While her shows are great, I feel like she shines the most as a film director. It's where she's had the most success, it's a field where she can really let loose with her crazy ideas and most importantly films are what she's most influenced by. Tamako Market is a subject of debate but all three of her movies so far have been absolute crackers. I have no doubt that the fourth one will be too.

So we get a recap, a more detailed version of Mizore's and Nozomi's past, AND a sequel movie? Thank you KyoAni!

Whoa! More Eupho is perfectly fine by me. While season 2 wasn't as praised as Season 1, it was still pretty decent. It doesn't really deserve a whole lot of hate (As what Mr. Finn said here earlier) as a show for doing what it wants to do, and I'm now very much looking forward to these 2 films. I'm hopeful that Kyoto Animation can keep up the good work and I will not be surprised at all if they do.

It's nice to see more of Euphonium, though I'm not confident it will be licensed in the West in a timely fashion, given how long it took for a number of their movies to get picked up by Sentai.

Very unlikely since Pony Canon owns the license for season 1 animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2016-03-17/pony-canyon-announces-upcoming-sound-euphonium-bd-and-dvd-release-details/.99894 so, don't expect it to come out anytime soon, since season 2 is still unlicensed and don't expect sentai to license it either, because Pony owns it.

^I'm not expecting it to come out soon, and I'm not expecting them to be licensed by Sentai necessarily. However, The films I referred to being licensed by Sentai all had Pony Canyon on the production committee, aside from the Beyond the Boundary ones from what information I could find (though they were on the production committee for the original show) so it's not impossible for Sentai to pick it up, again not that I am expecting that to happen

Those were all licensed through TBS, and TBS has nothing to do with the Eupho anime (or at the very least, aren't on the production committee).

Regardless, the point zrnzle500 is making, stands. KyoAni movies don't come out here very quickly. It's even worse than their TV stuff. So I wouldn't count on getting these super promptly either. I only hope that we get them eventually. Regardless of who picks them up. The theatrical space growing is great, for anime, and for me, as a big fan of the movie format, but licensing of movies outside of Japan(especially in the US, for certain reasons), leaves a hell of a lot to be desired and that's my biggest worry with the growth in that area.
In my dreams they all get theatrical releases within a couple of months, or at least get streamed somewhere like CR when the JP BDs come out or something, so I don't feel the need to resort to other means to see them and end up buying the JP release out of frustration, as was the case with A Silent Voice....

I am a big fan of season one. Season two was not as good, but I remain fond of this anime franchise. I am happy that more new anime content is being made, but I have to hold my excitement because of all the uncertainty surrounding the licensing of this franchise in R1.

I also want to mention that with these movies and the new Chuunibyou movie Kyoto Animation seems to be making a bigger push on making movies. I hope this goes well for them because they are one of the best, if not the best, anime studios.
