Great episode. Listening to that song for Azusa and reading the lyrics (subs) made me want this show to never end. I honestly didn't think i would laugh near as much as i did when i began watching it but Yui's sense of humor is right up my alley haha.

I almost felt like i was becoming a part of the crew the more i watched this show. Now that its over all i want to do is listen to HTT over and over again!

9/10. K-On forever

It was so beautiful, it ended so great.
So cute.
The closure of the episode was amazing.
The song gave me shivers and I sobbed.
The love between the girls is blinding(cheesy but true)
I've never seen such amazing friendship between 5 girls.
I love K-On<3
So drama free!

Oh god. The creepy laugh Ritsu was doin' as they backed away from Sawa~chan. Hilarious.

The song to Azusa was cute as hell. I almost cried when she did. Even though it's taken me ages to complete this anime, I feel a little sad that it's done with now.

College season anyone?

Anyone else cry like a baby during the song that everyone played for Azusa? I thought it was interesting that Azusa said the same exact thing that Yui said in episode 2 of the first season. When she said "You guys aren't very good at all!".
I also cried like a baby when Sawako saw the chalkboard, teared up and said "Now how am I supposed to erase that?". I was wondering when she was going to cry lol.
I give K-ON!! an overall 8/10, I also need to go find those 2 albums of HTT,
Damnit why did it have to end? Oh well, at least I still have 2 extra episodes, an OVA AND a movie yey.

Argh, I was misled by the 26 episode count and thought I still had more time to the finale! This was bittersweet, it was sad but didn't try to force any drama and built up to the eventual parting between Azusa and the others. At the same though, it was also heartwarming both when they left the message on the board for Sawa and the song the girls played for Azusa.

I'll be sure to watch the remaining episodes but as of right now I'll give this an 8/10. It took me months to finally finish but it was well worth it, I really feel like I grew with the series.

I tried to hold on the entire episode. I tried... But... But when the girls played for Azu-nyan... I couldn't hold it anymore... I cried while listening to the song 'cause I barely could see with all those tears in my eyes... Damn.
Why it had to end? T___T
This is just a reminder that it's the same thing in my life. Wish I had continued to watch the show 3 years ago...

Great episode. It was really sad when Azusa finally showed her emotions - especially that I had the same feelings about me finishing K-On. In the end that was really good show with memorable characters and lots of funny scenes. Suprisingly I enjoyed this show A LOT. Hope special episodes are really good because I'm going to miss K-On :<

Very emotional episode, that song about graduation near the end was sweet. But they should have put Fluffy Time in the credits instead of the ED song. Would have been perfect but I'm glad this journey is over, it was a bore to watch.

What an ending!

I didn't know that this was really it when I first watched K-ON!'s second season, but I suppose I might have even enjoyed the series more the second time, now knowing that this is essentially the last thing we'll ever get to see from the light music club (time-wise). The way they managed to wrap everything up without making the whole episode feel overly dramatic was just great, it perfectly captured this natural inevitable feeling that you get when a certain period of your life ends - you're sad for all the things that you'll have to leave behind, but you also know that it is part of what brings us ahead in life.

It was very heart-warming how they made this present for Sawako, and the amount of emotion and relate-ability in 'Tenshi ni Fureta yo!' was outright stunning. I literally had goosebumps on my body while reading the subtitles of the song. Azusa's reaction didn't really help to make it feel less sad, but rarely have I ever thought that there was a better reason to shed some tears - we've seen their relationship evolve right from the start, when Azusa had still been sceptical as to whether or not joining the light music club had been a good idea. And now we're here, at this epic finale, by the time of which they've come a long way and went through a lot together.

Oh well, what more can I say? I've enjoyed it more than once now, and even a year after seeing it for the first time, I can still see how and why this series has easily become my all-time favourite.

Would have been a lot more emotional as a final episode if anything had actually happened in the show. Better final episode than Lucky Star, at any rate.

How did they turn a high school comedy to a coming of age story? Season 1 was okay but this season got me hard in the later episodes. I was so against watching it thinking I could bear to watch 2 cour of what I saw in the first season but this turned out to be an amazing experience for me.

Good job, KyoAni! Who said you cannot make sequel that betters the prequels! There are After Story, Disappearance, Love Story and now this!

I never thought I would feel so attached to the five girls in the story. I will miss it when I am done watching the specials and the concluding movie.

9/10.

Um, I'm just gonna write my final series comment here instead of episode 26 discussion since both ep 25 and 26 were filler-ish.

I did not expect to like this Anime at all. I mean, it's just cute girls doing cute things and there was barely any musical aspect presented other than "we'll procrastinate and ace the performance at the school fes". Plus, no cute boys.

But damn, I really loved this series. Super likeable characters, relaxing atmosphere, good music, good comedy... It felt like I went back to high school and hung out with my close female friends. It's a breath of fresh air, despite being kinda nothing special.

While I hella enjoyed it, I still don't think it was good enough to give beyond a 7/10. There's too much wasted potential and wasted scenes in it, I felt. Like a lot of episodes were "extra" and not really necessary. People compare this series to Free! a lot and I think what Free! (Eternal Summer not the prequel) did better was that each episode in the one cour felt like it was necessary and pushed the characters further. In K-ON, I felt like some of the episodes didn't need to be there and some characters could grow more. I mean, it's very relaxing but I wanted to see more from it.

Regardless, still a strong series. I'm looking forward to the critically acclaimed movie!

So emotional and touching! It definitely made me shed a few tears here and there.
Well, what can I say? I love K-On! since the very first episode in the first season. As a fan of cute girls doing cute things, this second season was everything I wanted it to be. Emotional, funny, relaxing and with nice music! I'm really really glad I decided to pick up this series, long ago. Its lovable characters will probably remain forever in my memory. Good series. Very good series. Hella enjoyable.

How did a show that I found OK for the first season (with a steadily increasing in goodness for the second) turn into a heartwarming coming of age story. Fuck I didn't tear up at my own high school leaving ceremony yet at multiple times in this episode alone I nearly cried

You know this episode was a little disappointing at first. The manufactured graduation related crises really didn't do it for me. Felt like a waste of time. Particularly weak and tone deaf (pardon the pun) was the whole sequence of the ceremony itself. Though everyone being worried Yui will screw up did allow them to just not construct much in the way of the ceremony itself. As expected though it really pulled things together in the last club room scene. I was practically bawling myself when Azu-nyan begged them to stay. I really enjoyed the new song. I like how as Azu-nyan points out it's not even particularly good. But you can feel a lot of warmth from it. This episode did give me a lot of feels, all stemming from how like the cast I don't want it to end. But it was also a little amusing, with the FINAL EPISODE and THE END everywhere. When I know there's two more bonus episodes, an OVA and a movie. Not that I'm complaining.

My eyes!!! T_T

These last episode have broken me, and they are not even trying too much at it, by keeping it simple, they deliver when you least expect it, with subtle scenes.

If I didnt know there was ep25-27, I would have been so mad... it was great, but you just cant end it here!!
Still KyoAny treated it like it was the end of something, and it surely was, the graduation of the girls, it felt very special this episode.

Kyoto Animation, thank you.

Another tearjerker episode with a nice song. This was pretty much the final episode I guess, and the remaining ones are most likely just filler.

As much as I loved this final I have to say I liked episode 20 a bit more, nevertheless this one was amazing.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Awwww, when Azusa said "please don't graduate," I couldn't take it anymore... started crying. Too much for me, especially since she's usually so tacit about her feelings -- we mostly see them through imagery rather than dialogue.

When such a happy anime starts winding down, it's surprisingly bittersweet. Just another piece of what makes this such a good anime. It makes me wish that my time in high school was as friendly, happy, and meaningful. When I graduated, I couldn't wait to not see those people again... this makes me borderline jealous, haha.

Good episode as always, great anime. Among the best ever. Anyone who enjoys slice of life even a little, and skipped this for some unfathomable reason, is making a big mistake. One of the more worthwhile SOL's out there, a true feel-good anime.

Rewatched the complete show (which was like 50% responsible for me to start playing guitar and getting a Fender Mustang, the same as Azusa's) again with a 5 year gap in between and I got to say that K-On! is the best series out there about literally nothing. No competition there. And I can't decide which "finale" I liked more, ep 20 or ep 24 (even when the show aired for another 2-3 episodes afterwards, those are just extras)

You know what's funny though?
Season 1 wraps up 2 years of school in 13 episodes while the second season has about double the amount of episodes to wrap up just one year. And even then the second season seems to move much faster forward because of all the, sometimes subtle, sometimes direct, signs that everything is coming to an end very soon, starting at episode 1.
Makes you feel somewhat melancholic, but that might just be me...
