If you are thinking that you can just substitute this movie instead of watching the 13 ep. anime then you are horribly mistaken. Yes, this is like a recap for the s1 with some small additional scenes but this movie in my opinion is some kind of a refresher for people who will watch s2 and thought that it's a hassle to rewatch s1. You are missing the character development and you wouldn't even know the characters deeply (i.e. If I asked you who Sapphire was you wouldn't know who that is). I don't have any complaints about the art and animation of KyoAni since they have been doing a consistently great job in both the anime and this movie👌

Synopsis
After swearing off music due to an incident at the middle school regional concert band competition, euphonist Kumiko Oumae enters high school hoping for a fresh start. As fate would have it, she ends up being surrounded by people with an interest in the high school brass band. Kumiko finds the motivation she needs to make music once more with the help of her bandmates, some of whom are new like novice tubist Hazuki Katou; veteran contrabassist Sapphire Kawashima; and band vice president and fellow euphonist Asuka Tanaka. Others are old friends, like Kumiko's childhood friend and hornist-turned-trombonist Shuuichi Tsukamoto, and trumpeter and bandmate from middle school, Reina Kousaka. However, in the band itself, chaos reigns supreme. Despite their intention to qualify for the national band competition, as they currently are, just competing in the local festival will be a challenge—unless the new band advisor Noboru Taki does something about it.

Kyoto Animation is one of the best studios when it comes to the animation and soundtracks. If you are into music animes or slice of life you viewers will love this. For me this Movie is a great way to start the anime.
A very beautiful movie showing the start of a euphonist's journey for her school band, Kumiko Omae gets a new start on being a euphonist after not winning on a previous championship, as well as having new friends besides old ones on this path.
