I don't think anyone should insult Shuichi, he's a good guy who just happens to like Kumiko. He didn't make use of Hazuki's love, he didn't push Kumiko and he tried to become better at playing the trombone. Nothing to complain about him, it's mean to insult him in any way.
If it's not canon, KyoAni disrespects ppl. If it's not gonna happen, then don't hint it. I'm tired now, I could have watched it better if there was just the music and the few dramas, but not with all these Reimiko scenes, so impactful that they look like they're in serious love like this, just to be thrown out of the window later. If so then what is the meaning of these scenes except for money? It's so mean and disrespectful to the viewers. Why can't I just watch a music anime without yuri romance, just friendship between girls and the character support each other in a more normal way that friends do?
I will hate this anime if they troll (yes, it's trolling). I hate cheap baiting, it will ruin my whole enjoyment for other great things in the show because the producer disrespects my feeling, disrespects the realism in the show, disrespects the characters' consistency and relationships. Better not hint the things in such a powerful way at the beginning when you know it won't happen.
I don't really know where this might go but I'll drop this for awhile and wait for the real ending to comeout to continue watching it.
Now I just don't want to care anymore... Long post but excuse the emotional outbreak.
