The run of Hibike! Euphonium at Ani-nouto included a heretofore unblogged dorama, where I hated it so much that I ragequit it after 04 and didn't know what to blog about it (except a rather oblique preview) [1]. Debacles like this are rare around these parts: can't recall any beyond …

I remember that back …
