I always think that music manga is kind of a strange read without sound, but music light novels, as it turns out, go down a little smoother. However, Sound! Euphonium isn’t really about building a dope soundtrack by having a music-based plot, is it? It is like sports anime where the music is just a framing device for the characters. The characters are the real stars.

What to Expect From The Sound! Euphonium Source Material Compared to The Anime?
It is worth noting that KyoAni likes making beautiful anime with touching stories, but it doesn’t really love sticking to the source material in a diligent way. That actually isn’t a bad thing in any of the anime they adapted, though. They tend to “add more” rather than reduce content. The Sound! Euphonium anime keeps a good bit of the plot from the novels, but the anime does put a lot more focus on side characters. They get fleshed out really well, but the novels may have less focus on some characters than you may want.
Will There Be A Sound! Euphonium Season 4?
The third season of Sound Euphonium fulled adapted the main storyline light novels. There will be no more main line anime
