Its funny to see that the episode was called "The Future" and it ended up being about the past.... The past of how first of all Nodoka and Yui met.... Dude they were so cute when little! Well Someway Yui is still the same klutz bubbly and easygoing girl that doesn't worry for the future and just see the present eheheehe and I don't mind that actually... I'm just like that... I just see the present not the future... I pretty much understand ya girl.... Nodoka and Yui were so huggable... hehehe I guess Yui could be a fine Kidergarden Teacher... fits her a lot... or maybe a waitress... but a waitress job doesn't last long...

I also wondered why Sawa discarded those papers which Yui and Ritsu filled when they decided to be Musicians, but in the end it was explained here... I feel good after reading all the thread and discover that she declined to receive them 'cause thar pair of blobheads fill the papers wrong XD LOL bakas...

Ritsu + Mio flashbacks were awesome too! I liked how Ritsu told us that Mio has actually grown since she met her... she has grown from the withdrawn shy and voiceless girl to the scaredycat, funny good friend and awesome bassist she's now! Awww so cute.... LOL at the Pineapple part

I guess this one didn't hit me hardm yet it was plain good =/

Something annoyed me a great deal about how "musician" got turned down. How is that not exactly a valid profession? I know it's hard to make it as one, but by god it shouldn't stop someone from trying if they want to.

Otherwise a solid episode, it's just that bothered me for some reason and I'm not even a musician. I just hate to see someones dream getting shot down like that. Then again, I get the feeling that Yui isn't particularly serious about it anyway. Or, at least that is how it is presented.

I'm surprised the anime didn't mention this, but it wasn't accepted because she wrote "musician" under "college I want to attend" instead of "career aspirations." That's also why Nodoka was laughing.


Ah, hell. I feel like an idiot now. No idea how I missed that...

The first series was good but so far the second series has been very disappointing. Nothing happens, and the characters aren't all that interesting either. I used to love the first series and I used to watch a few episodes all in one go. I just don't have motivation to watch this series.

Nice character development but the pace is too slow which is kind of ironic since the pace in Season 1 was too fast.
Young Mio is so cute. >_<

Wish I'd found what she chose. I mean, it was a nice episode with the cute flashbacks but it was all about the one thing - plans for the future so I would have liked to have known what she chose.

So what's so funny about what Yui did when she was a kid? Is laughing uproariously at not bringing instant food or making octupus-free takoyaki a cultural thing, or are they genuinely laughing at something that isn't even that funny?

Another flashback episode I wasn't crazy about. But I did like this one a lot more. In fact the A plot of the episode where Yui and Ritsu have to get serious about their futures was a surprisingly mature and intelligent plotline. Even if it never really concluded that meaningfully. But once again this episode was really bogged down by flashbacks. At least last time it was flashbacks about a story we'd never seen or heard of before. While all these were technically new they didn't reveal anything new about the characters or their relationships. And we've seen similar fare before. Still I liked the mirroring of Yui at the beginning and Nodoka at the end with the turtle. And Yui's turtle song. In fact all the loli flashbacks were pretty moe and cute and isn't that mainly what we're here for.

Sometimes even if it does not seem, the narration of this anime series succeeds, through the comedy, to start important situations such as that concerning one's own life future; a very difficult topic that is not easy to explain in a few words, but needs valid arguments that are not always adaptable to everyone.

As an ex-NEET speaking for myself, Yui doesn't deserve such a fate. Being a NEET is a sad, trapped way of life. She can power through her indecision and find her true future.

A cute episode. Everyone when they were little were so cute! Especially Yui and Mio.

So in the end, Yui still hasn't decided on anything at least just to write yet huh... was expecting an answer at the end but oh well, it's K-ON!! ^^

At first deciding what to study is complicated but after thinking a little, you know what you want.
Good chapter, and the memories of Nodoka with Yui and Mio with Ritsu very nice.

I wasn't into the flashbacks that much, not like anything special happened in most of them for those to be stories to make everyone laugh out loud like that. Can empathize a bit with Yui and her struggling to find a path to look forward to in the future. She's never been the kind of character to think deep into the future and figure out what she wants to be then so being a late-bloomer with that kind of thing will lead to her struggling for a while, particularly when everyone else for the most part knows where they want to go and are already preparing for that slowly.

They made Yui imagining herself in different vocational situations, but in fact, they are just picturing her wearing different dresses. That counts as a good nice fan service right here. Much thanks.
It feels like it was intended for them to include many scenes related to turtles in this episode - Yui singing to a turtle in a flash back, a cut on the bronze turtle (I don't know if that's the material, but let us refer to that as that) on the armrest along the stair, closed ups of Ton-chan when they were in the club room, and ending this episode with both Yui and Nodoka patting the same bronze turtle before leaving school. Don't know why they did that, but at least turtles are fun animals.

Another thing is in this series, there are some scenes where Yui and Ritsu teaming up together, and sometimes they have this Crayon Shin chan type of vibe on their facial expressions; very interesting chemistry between the two of them. It somehow also feels like they were trying to pay respect to the Crayon Shin chan series, but it might be me overextending it.

Anyways, more child memories of Nodoka-Yui, Mio-Ritsu line were presented to us. Very wholesome as always, and at least we get to know more about the good side of Ritsu. Another wholesome episodes of flashbacks and the cute, air-headed, helpless Yui.
