The plot got officially thrown out the window. I fast forwarded through most of the episode.
That lucky star reference was definitely no necessary.

Lucky Star parody was awesome. Why this series isn't categorised as a parody is beyond me - especially with all the anime and otaku references ...

I'm apparently the only one who hasn't seen Lucky Star, and I'm going to keep it that way.

This was an awesome episode.
The animation was so good.
There were more songs played then all of K-On!
5/5

Edit: I realized why everyone was bringing up Lucky Star. It aired 1 year prior to this. Since it's so popular and this isn't the odds are low that someone has seen this without having watched it. Only people really into anime would watch this and post on these forums.

The first filler that gave me a laugh, that konata reference was the best! and lol Nagi's song, that ending with that ED sure was pretty awesome!

Quite a good episode actually. I'm not even sure anymore if this is the actual story or just fillers...

Finished watching the episode.

Tsugumi: Not bad, but not great either. But her being nervous made me :3

Daitetsu: I actually liked his song the best. But for some reason i was kind of expecting it.

Akiba: Surprisingly not bad.

Jin: Sounds as bad as I do when I sing. Was expecting this one as well.

Nagi: LOL. Just LOL.

Takkako: Oh god this one made me lol too. Too much moe imo XD.

Zange: Her voice was actually pretty fitting for the song the dance moves were good too.

Like I said before LOL @ the Lucky Star references (The room and the characters XD) I also went through the Lucky Star ED to check if there were really in room 301 but sadly its not there.

PS. Anyone know the ED song? If you watched the credits they played a different song this time

Funny episode but I hope the ending of the series is satisfyingly dramatic.


but they were in room 301. That's why the angle panned upwards to show the room number xD

Unfortunately, I'm not sure if that's going to happen. The manga is still continuing, and the manga storyline keeps dropping in plot elements that aren't (yet) much further developed.

Still, while the anime adapts the manga's weaknesses, it also develops the manga's strengths, namely the characters. This ep is based on Chapter 14.5, an "extra" chapter at a karaoke bar. And, of course, in a manga, there's no music or sound, and the anime does a great job improving the "storyboard" of the manga. I especially appreciate this opportunity to see the seiyuus (sp) sing *in the voices of their characters*.

Oh, and personally love how Nagi doesn't care at all about Jin's love triangle.

I liked this episode. Everyone got some adequate screen time, and it's fun to see the cast all together for once.

I cringed when Takako was singing. I really liked Daitetsu and Tsugumi's singing though. Those two are pretty good.

Is it just me or does Haqua also have a thing for Jin? We don't even have any idea of her personality because Zange takes over all the time.

well this episode was funny and not boring. No matter what people say Kana's voice is lovely as fuck and this anime aired back in 2008.. she was younger!

So what's with Shino's eyes? don't tell me... sharingan!?

This was simply one of the best episodes, I don't could anyone not like it(ok, maybe not enough Nagi but still). So many awesome moments, despite Nagi's song turned me off for one :x

Friendship can be strength while singing songs ~ .
For some reasons , The Song reflects the Singer . That's why they chose it .
Very good Episode ~ !!! Nagi-san !! "Everyone has there own strength."
Counter-reaction . I think I understand that .. a bit .
The 'Swirlings' ~ . Even in karaoke !! Those pure .. eyes .

>this Lucky Star cameo
:D

Pretty good episode, I like how it was structured: they used the spatial constraint from the setup to make the cinematography more intimate, which echoes with the intimacy of purpose ("bonding") and the intimacy of discourse, as everyone reveals a part of their interiority through their singing and choice of song.

Add to that quality interactions and balanced screen time between the characters, in an almost methodical reconstitution of this ritual that is karaoke (personnel disruptions included), then this episode can be summarised in a single word: mastery.

Well, now I can be sure that they referenced black haired Haruhi.. ;p As now they showed Lucky Star characters in karaoke.. ;p
Damn, just how unprofessional singers can sing like that in anime all the time in karaoke.. They're supposed to be ordinary people.. Can't believe majority of people really sing well.. I don't know, how I'd do, as I've not sung for years, but probably would suck without any practice whatsoever..
And I wouldn't really say Jin sucked.. It wasn't the singer I would listen and listen to, but he was ok for not professional, no?.. I've heard worse, it wasn't even cringy, just normal weak singing really..
Well.. It's actually interesting thing that now Jin is supposedly less reserved, and is able to sing in front of others.. But is it really a good thing in the end?.. Thing that you try something doesn't mean that it's good.. Same with opening up.. The more doesn't necessary mean better..
When Takako sang.. It seems that others are not women and men of culture.. They understand nothing.. ;p

That single second with the Lucky Star cameo was probably the best part of the whole episode.

Ah yes, a karaoke episode. How exciting... If it wasn't for the comedy that didn't age well. It was just "cringe".

At least the crossover with Lucky Star was a good thing, I guess...
