| Bah! There's too much stuff to comment on about this episode that all I could say to sum it up would be: "The pinnacle of moe!" My cheeks were tired by the end of the show coz I couldn't wipe a huge smile off my face. I loved this episode. |
"It's because you exist.. That I'm here right now.."  |
| Alright, obligatory beach episode where the hint of music was shot down in a ball of flames to only be done in 5 seconds. I really still can't see the charm of this show. It's not really that funny and I don't see it as too cute either. At least Lucky Star was really funny and so was Haruhi but this, don't know Maybe it doesn't help I've been watching quite a few 90s anime of late and just can't get into the overwhelmingly colorful palletes of the show. |
| martin03345: K-ON! is about moe, Lucky Star was about comedy, Haruhi about sci-fi/romance/comedy. Maybe you just don't like/get moe. Then again, you might just be gay (kidding :) |
| moe moe kyun?! Loved the episode :D |

I can see where you're coming from with this. I see the same shortcoming that you mentioned. I can't really agree with the 'not really that funny' after this ep though, since this ep was pretty damn funny. It's still far from reaching the meme-spawning power of Lucky Star, but I think the fun is just getting started. I expect great things in the coming episodes. kuroshiroi said: martin03345: K-ON! is about moe ... and this. |
 I am a banana. |
| Hah K-On! always leave me wanting more. Anyway I don't know why the fuck you guys use LS and K-On! on the same sentence, but that pisses me off, is true that LS had some cleverly jokes, but thats all, it was bored as fuck to me and it will be never at the same level of moe as K-On! Anyway, i loved the Yui+Ritsu jokes against Mio, i laughed as hell. This one cracked me up. And the B-side of the tape was fucking roflcopterloltastic. I puked out of my nose some of my icecream. |
| To be the pillow in that picture... |
| I think I'm starting to get attached to Ritsu; I actually find her believable. I love how near the beginning of the episode, they pretty much said, "Hey guys, let's figure out which stereotypical moe slice-of-life thing to do!" And then proceed to do several. This show is nothing if not honest about what it's trying to be. |

Then again, you might just be gay (kidding :) I guess I don't get or like moe or I'm gay. I don't understand how that could be a sticking point for a show. It's not anywhere near having depth but is overall a shallow thing to sit and cherish. At least with comedy it takes wit to come up with and other dynamics. I understand the genres of Haruhi and Lucky Star but from what I've seen, K-ON! is suppose to have comedy as well as music and not just oh that was cute, and Mio's so cute, etc. Has the episodes in my mind been progressively better? For the most part yeah. I got over the animation quality fast and the 2nd and 3rd episode had some laughable moments but for the most part this show is near being a bore and it's sad too because I was looking forward to this show quite a bit |
| Jello, Fuck Yeah. |

There are snippets of good comedy here and there in the episodes, but besides, that the show seems like Lucky Star without the funny, which leaves us with many of the cliches that come with the genre and Konata talking about moe. Though I think calling a whole entire genre "moe" is ridiculous, this could possibly be the first in that genre, where the pure level of entertainment is solely based off of "how cute can we make these bobble heads act/look, and then point it out to you." There surely is no subtlety in that, and it really does make me wonder how people could find an episode like this entertaining. But then again, I'm gay, what do I know? |
| For me, it's not about cuteness or moe - Mio is just a lot cooler and more likeable than the rest of the cast combined. (She carries the show, IMO) |
 |
| I feel like one of the only ones who feels this show is overrated, i just don't get all the hype about it. i agree with martin03345 and noteDhero, this show lacks whatever would make it more entertaining; better humour, umm, the band playing together maybe... they spent their manditory "moe" beach vacation doing a "training camp" without making any music at all... it seems a little anticlimactic and boring to me, I've seen the whole group of friends goes to the beach thing before, give me something new. however, somehow the show is growing on me, i'll keep watching. |
| I mean I knew this show wouldn't be serious at all but I thought there'd be quite a bit of music thrown in there as well with goofy antics and such but hasn't happened. I mean when the first episode has a Jeff Beck reference, things were looking up even though it was lack luster but it hasn't redeemed itself yet |
| Moe Moe Kyun!!!! Best Epi Yet!!! I still can't stop smiling, Mio is The Greatest Female Anime Character Ever!!! I just wish there was more music, but it's great anticipation, waiting until they rock out!!! K-ON! FTW!! Urahara Out!! |
 |
| Loved this episode, the part where she played the guitar with the fireworks behind her then reenacted the video was awesome, but Mio still takes the cake for being the best character in K-ON no doubt about it xD |
| your joking i'm one of only 4 who hated or disliked this ep? 105 loved it??? (as when i post this). This episode was seriously one of the worst anime episodes i've ever seen. Tons of overdone jokes in this episode that i've seen tons of times, but unlike the other ones these ones weren't funny. Most of the episode was just them mucking around in swimsuits which was completely boring. Unlike the last ep which was actually funny this one wasen't at all. Yui and Ritsu were just plain stupid the entire episode. When they actually got to playing they were 'too tired' ffs. They should start playing something already. Cmon as soon as Yui was learning how to bend it became a joke. There was seriously nothing even decent about this episode. NOTHING. |

Sure just about every aspect of this episode was forced, shamelessly derivative and pretty much all about the moe with some extremely vague references to the fact that this is supposed to be music related, but that's pretty much par for the course with this show. It's pretty clear that it's not trying to be anything else then this and that it's only the die hard Kyoani and moe fans again that are making it out like it's something extra special and outstanding. Episode was okay and tolerable, 3/5 like the rest of them. |

Obvious troll is obvious lol pathetic, just cause i said it was bad I'm trolling? Those are my actual opinions on this episode. I actually enjoyed the other 3 in some way. Have you seen Azumanga? you could technically say this episode ripped it off entirely. Plus i've seen this stuff in many anime. It's practically a clone. This anime is meant to be about music but all they do is try to avoid it. This show still has no direction. |

| Wow. She can play like that already? xD K-ON! might seem quite disappointing to some but it's a breather compared to the other "serious" anime out right now. |
| awesome episode X) |
| What you motherfuckers just watched is a masterpiece of moe. Burn this shit to a disc and frame it on your fucking wall because you probably won't see anything as moe as this ever again |

Whether she was actually playing it or not... it was a brutal scene imo.Loved this episode, the part where she played the guitar with the fireworks behind her then reenacted the video was awesome, |

| Meido Mio and moe-overload + Yui actually playing something = 5/5. What was up with Tsumugi's dream though... Jello? |

| Made a gif just for the moe. Too bad its too big for me to use on MAL o3o |
| The pictures at the end were great. |

This only ever really happens when there is a discrepancy between entertainment value and content. And let's face it, KyoAni is great at blurring those lines. With all that said though, I'm in the same boat as you Kuroshiroi...I'm kind of beating myself up expecting plot out of this show...though I do still expect music. That's why I gave it a 3/5. |
| Yui and Ricchan are far too funny together x3 I really love them as a comedy pair! |

| Yui progressed quickly in only 3 months. Music in next episode? Seems like it, IMO (didn't watch the 'next ep' preview though). |
