| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Discuss your thought! I liked it although episodes' story itself disappointed me ;< |
 |
| Personally I just like the moe and music in general in this series but this story followed somewhat that style, which makes the anime good.....problem still follows they do not mix in the music with a balanced sense is what I personally think.....so far they did it a little bit but it's far from being balanced.....of course episode is 5/5. |
 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| I'm not a fan of Ritsu so............ 3/5. It was okay but... meh. |
 |
| RITSU IS MY FAV CHARACTER >_<6/5!! no question!! :) And a new song is born...can't wait to hear it!! Ah, judging from the preview, the story is finally back on canon's storyline lol P.S. Yui never fails in cracking me up XDDD jian jian jian *TURNS AND STARE* XDDDD |
  |
| Awesome as usual..the art/animation budget on this is at a whole new level it seems. They really are putting a fair amount of cash into the sequel unlike the first season which had shoddy animation and lousy art compared to other KyoAni stuff. I guess they're using the mountains of money they got from the first season to animate this one. |
| Ok™ |
| Video quality was surprisingly good. Didn't really care much for the episode itself, but hey, MOEEEEEE~~ |

| 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. |
 |
| So let's watch this episode, yay =3 Felt like waiting forever... I hope someone nice does some gif's later on, Yui watching Ton-chan is just silly x) |
| Y'know Ritsu wouldn't have had this problem if she had a set like Neil Peart. Expensive I know, but just sayin'. >_> |
| An ok episode...not as good as the last one but there were still a few laughs this time. |
| Good episode but Mio being scared for any little thing is getting annoying. It would be a real treat if I could get more of this girl: |
| Okay, done =3 This episode was cute =3 I always like to feel closer to the characters, to learn about their background, why they are doing things, and that's what this episode was all about. Honestly, these things get lost in most stories, not only anime, so I especially liked to see a touch of it in K-ON!! =3 saxophone15 said: An ok episode...not as good as the last one but there were still a few laughs this time. I admit that, there weren't much of funny scenes, but I guess that would have unbalanced the whole episode anyway.. But hey, the 2nd episode is nearly unbeatable :'D |
| TSUMUGI AS SOLO VOCALIST FOR A SONG? Fuck YEAH. |
| You can tell that Yui, despite still being a ditz, has matured a bit. In the end, she actually gave some worthy advice. Also, we again see that when she starts something, she doesn't stop till she gets results. It was to be expected that Ritsu couldn't play anything else but drums. Pretty much every band member has her own designated spot and it's not easy to change that. And Mio being scaredy cat isn't something you can take away so easily; it's part of her character. Plus, it makes the chemistry between her and Ritsu work. |

Haha, I got a good laugh when that part came up :D I really liked this episode, of course Ritsu is by far my fave char with Yui in second so with the Ritsu focus and a lot of funny Yui parts this worked really well to my tastes. |
| K-on!! is a bit more serious (just a tiny bit) than its predecessor, or so it seems. I quite liked this episode, although I would agree that Ritsu is not exactly the most exciting thing to watch for twenty minutes. Mio's gags, too, are wearing a bit thin, but I guess that's okay. It was a good episode, however, and pleased me just as K-on always has, nonsensical humour and all. But hey, what's this in the preview? A field trip for their class, so Azusa isn't there?! I OBJECT! |
 |
| Not as good as ep 2, but I still liked it 4/5 |
 |
| M-Mugi? Solo Vocalist? FINAAAALLY!! <333 Mio getting scared at every little thing is getting quite annoying, though.. I got a good laugh at the part where Yui "communicates" with Ritsu. Gotta keep watching to see Mugi's solo vocal <3 |
| Yui is what makes this show so enjoyable =D Everything she say and does is always so cute and out of the blue it's impossible not to smile (^.^) Glad Ritsu realised just how awesome drums really are, even though the (as pointed her to the extreme) is usually the one least seen it's definitely the instrument most heard. Drums are the rhythm and heartbeat of a great song. Not so sure about Keith Moon though, they should have mentioned some real drummer instead, like Jan Axel "Hellhammer" Blomberg \o/ |
| Haha ... pretty funny episode ... as usual |

Maximatum99 said: Good episode but Mio being scared for any little thing is getting annoying. It would be a real treat if I could get more of this girl: Yeah, Divine on Random Curiosity noted on how there are female characters on the show that have way more appeal than the HTT girls. Too bad we don't get to see more of them like the above. Anyway.  "Just as Planned...." Is Sawa-chan too hot for words or what? |
 |
Lilgnomy said: is subs out yet? :O the subs came out pretty recently the subbing groups arent going a bad job its pretty fast not a bad episode |
 |
Even though some people found this boring....found it refreshing mainly due to being reminded more about Ritsu.....let's see her house=>  Ritsu originals and avatars!=> |
In spoiler my anime list for now. |

| Well, it was an enjoyable episode. But it wasn't as good as 1 and 2. 4/5 Ritsu having a midlife crisis wasn't that interesting. |

DarkChaplain said: Yeah.....I did so you better like it! :P I hope someone nice does some gif's later on Wasabi said: What? That's what makes part of Mio....you can't ignore that part.nearly sick and tired of them playing Mio's scaredy cat routine again. Maximatum99 said: Good episode but Mio being scared for any little thing is getting annoying. It would be a real treat if I could get more of this girl: Yeah but the girl next to Sawako in the pic I took to show under the spoiler looks also not bad. Panaru said: TSUMUGI AS SOLO VOCALIST FOR A SONG? Fuck YEAH. Panaru I am only with you if the song is good......waiting for a CD of that available somehow. AO968 said: Going back to what Wasabi said earlier in this series....those moments will not come often......but it goes back to my point.....she can be mature when she wants to be but chooses more to be childish often.You can tell that Yui, despite still being a ditz, has matured a bit. In the end, she actually gave some worthy advice. Also, we again see that when she starts something, she doesn't stop till she gets results. midgemage said: Well it was about time to show a mature proof just like many IRL mature with time and age.K-on!! is a bit more serious (just a tiny bit) than its predecessor, or so it seems. midgemage said: Objection denied! As much as it is bad for Azusa fans she is not in high school but in junior still so the trip is most likely for 3rd, 4th and 5th year students. Well at least it will be interesting to see more reactions in normal public settings.But hey, what's this in the preview? A field trip for their class, so Azusa isn't there?! I OBJECT! Maximatum99 said: It looks to me you never were one to me even if you were I still like your comments and remarks.... :PI'm not trying to be more of an asshole than I usually am |

garfield15 said: Bro, I get what you were saying. My bad. Yeah, everyone on 4chan was just marking down their waifus from previous episodes and detailing on the ones behind the scenes since episode one. Which means, a lot of people watching it would notice the attractive background characters. What made me raise my eyebrow at your statement that was obviously not meant to insult me, but that you made her opinion sound "official" in a sense. Maximatum99 said: What!? No, I was just agreeing with what you were saying by using another source!

I used to go on Random Curiosity but then I thought after a while, "Why the fuck do I care about Divine's opinions?" Get my drift? So it's cool. |
| I rate it 5/5 because maybe it shows a lot about Ritsu (Ritsu is my fav character in K-ON) and I really enjoyed it. Next episode seems nice. |
| Since I'm a drummer, that added to my interest. K-ON is playing its game nicely. |
| Another good episode. I laughed a lot at Mugi's "talking" keyboard, and when Yui tried to "communicate" with Ritsu more on stage. XDD I can't wait to hear Mugi's song. ;w; I wish all the girls would get their own song/or at least a solo for the insert songs they perform on the show. I don't feel like waiting for the character CDs to hear Azusa, Mugi, and Ritsu sing. ;_; |
| The talking piano made me lol XD |
Panaru said: TSUMUGI AS SOLO VOCALIST FOR A SONG? Fuck YEAH. yeah! I'm looking forward to that!!! |
     |
| I like how they took a class picture in this episode =) On the bottom right, the girl with brown hair sitting down next to Sawako looks like she has a cat on her head... |

| So we don't get to hear the new song next episode? Signs of music here but we'll have to wait a while... Ritsu isn't my favorite character, so an episode about her is meh. It was good, but just didn't like it very much. Yeah, everyone forgot Ton-chan...will he get an episode of his own too? Wonder what Sawa-chan looked like behind that mask? Field trip eh? Without Azusa and Ton-chan? |
 |
ZA HOO are the best band ever. |

rarri said: ZA HOO are the best band ever. LOLOL I laughed at her pronunciation too. Ritsu is bitchin' and never gets enough screentime, so this was cool. Mugi and her talking keyboard.<3 She's so cuuute. MUGI GETS TO SING AAAAAHHHH. -fangirlish meltdown- |
francismeunier said: Wasabi said: What? That's what makes part of Mio....you can't ignore that part.nearly sick and tired of them playing Mio's scaredy cat routine again. She was scared of a god damn turtle. Why would I want to keep on watching a girl that's literally scared of every and any thing? It's not moe anymore. It's just pitiful and pathetic on her part. |
|
| Can't wait to hear the new song! I hope it has a shit ton of Mugi on vocals. I love her. |
 |
| Ehhh Ritsu is boring. More Ui please. |

I have a friend that creams about everything The Who related, got to show him the screenshots, maybe he'll watch the episode too (or maybe not) . I also creamed myself when mentioned keith moon here: Best Drummer ever. ever. ever. EVER. |
