Considering that they're doing pretty much nothing at all, there'll have to be some at least 24 episodes for something to happen >.>
(Also, I heard 24.. But oh well, slight difference, no matter : D)

24 episodes? Oh great.....GIF season is going to be nuts! XD

Poor Ritsu. She had a little bad luck with her.
Yui was cute again :) And how she loved the Gitah so much too.

Ricchan's my favorite, so I obviously enjoyed this episode. It wasn't a great great one though, that's why I give it a 4/5.

You all do know that episodes 2 and 3 were fillers? They never existed in the manga.


The selling of the guitar in episode 2 WAS in the manga (volume 3, chapter 4), so that ep wasn't a total filler. I think only that part in the hardware store and them buying that turtle was never in it.

And besides, I think these fillers work quite well in this show so far. They add a bit of depth to the characters, something we lacked a bit in S1.

You might be right. I remember it was just a statement from Sawa-chan that they sold the guitar. I'll reread chapter 4 as you said.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

Well at least we can stop talking about Ritsu and her "boyfriend" nonsense that was captivating all of Japan.

Anyways an OK episode again,

@ everyone, stop bitching about how "K-ON has lost its touch", they've only aired three episodes, and besides everyone knows that sequels NEVER surpass the original, and on top of all that, once something is very popular or good, it has "EXPECTATIONS", sometimes it's very hard to meet those high marks that everyone has for this type of series.

I think 'often' is better to use than 'never', because the way things look now, K-ON!! is on its way to become one of the exceptions of which the sequel surpasses the original.

But in the end, it's all a matter of personal taste.

K-ON just seems to... be losing a lot of its touch. I was completely bored of this episode and nearly sick and tired of them playing Mio's scaredy cat routine again.

Pretty good episode all Ritsu really needs is a second bass drum since it looks a bit wimpy as it is now also placing it upon a small platform during live performances will draw more attention to her. =D

I agree with some of the comments made earlier, that the moeness fact has been turned down a bit. It's still there, but they're trying to put in some non-repetitive comedy to keep things moving, as well as a few character-driven plotlines.

It sums Ritsu up that she thinks she could play another instrument ... before coming to realise that all the hard work and effort she has put into playing the drums hasn't compromised her sheer joy at playing them. They need her energy - she's the powerhouse from behind that drives them on to perform well!

I like Yui is so caring about Ritsu. I wish I had a friend like Yui albeit being a klutz.

Did anyone notice how Ritsu places her hand on Yui's shoulders when their class were taking a photo?

Anyway, Mugi FTW. K-on!! need a Mugi-focused episode. =)

Lol, don't they realize they can simply put a light on the drums? It's the rather logical solution to her being constantly in the shadows, I'd figure :)

5/5
In fact her brother.... But it's the same... brother or sister she was scolded hahahahaha... No idea tho... I didn't really pay attention to the BGM....

Had a different feel wwithout doubts, yet I found the whole episode not really bad... Adding some depth into their characters is a good way to go since they're simply growing up and time's not stalling is just flowing as it has always done so... I like that... Yet somehow the executon is not as good as it could be 'cause they kinda abused of the moe factor.... Okay this show's about moe and let's just diregard the fact that they're growing....

That way I'm free to say.... They're so childish! but doesn't matter since that' quite cute... I gotta say that my fave part of the episode was when everyone else tried to teach how to play other instrument to Ritsu... Playing a new instrument is never easy! I really lol'ed when Azusa and Yui were trying to explain how to play the guitar and Ritsu began relaxedly tried to play if but ended up getting frustrated and stiff... and who wouldn't unless you practice with a Guitah a lot since little, or you're a prodigy like Yui or even Ui, so then there's no way you'll come to love playing the guitar... or any other instrument I guess.... But the part that made me laugh the most was when Yui "translated" the sounds of the Keyboard to an intelligible speech xD LOLZ Sometimes Yui's such a klutz and a baka... but dude... she was really funney there!

Oh my... turtle is so cute *_* I hope she stays there for the rest of the season... and remain alive! xD
