I always love Mugi and this episode really made me happy! One of the best...no, the best episode! I love how she gets easily amused when she went into a commoner's establishments. I also love how Mugi and Ritsu interacted and their schemes for Mugi to be hit by Mio. I can't believe Mugi made Mio cry! One of the scenes that really made me laugh hard. This would be my favorite episode in K-On! franchise. Mugi, you're so fluffy. If you want to be hit, I'm here for you ^^

I agree with Yui. It's pretty weird to go for the strawberry when someone offers you their strawberry shortcake.. especially since there's only one on top.

Agreed. And I loved the scene when Yui ran to get Nodoka just to show her Mio's reaction at getting her strawberry stolen. Priceless moment xD

Loved the Mugi-centric episode. Although she's actually my least favorite girl of the HTT (maybe tied with Azusa for that place), I was thinking she deserved an episode dedicated to her and it was pretty awesome. One of the most funny anime episodes I've seen - couldn't stop laughing most of the time. It's cute that she gets so happy with the most ordinary things^^

New OP is at the same level as last one, probably a bit less annoying... New ED is amazing. The animation is great and the song is pretty good as well, probably even better than "Don't Say Lazy" (though I need to listen to it a couple more times to decide that).

The new ED is great. This was the best episode in a while. Mugi is too moe for her own good.

This episode was hilarious and made me realize how awesome Mugi is. So far my favorite episode of K-On!(!)



Also, I like the other OP more than this one, and this ED more than the other. That may change the more I listen to it though.

I had been frustrated that none of the strong one-on-one relationships within the band involved Mugi -- Ritsu x Mio, Ritsu x Yui, Yui x Asuza, and Mio x Asuza, but no Mugi. And then Mugi flat out acknowledged it herself! Great episode with a great dynamic between Ritsu and Mugi.

So from what I've read and heard, NO, Thank You! is apparently considered the best HTT song by far? I thought it was average on my first listen (and listening to the full version, I can't say they did a good job compressing it down to 90 seconds). Very generic sound with no clever chord progressions. And I don't care much for the video -- I prefer the fashion of Don't Say "Lazy" and Listen!! And Mio sticking her tongue out at the end does not suit her -- I prefer the wink at the end of Listen!!

Nice seeing Mugi and Ritsu together. I like seeing just two members of the club together every once in a while. Mugi is so cute when she's enthousiastic about the simplest things she never got to do.

"Please smack me". A quest to get smacked on the head. I laughed so hard when she stole Mio's strawberry! In the end it was Ritsu who ended up doing it after all. "You'd be very popular if you were a guy". xD

The new OP is ok at best, but the new ED is amazing, just the guitar in it alone!

It is pretty weird to take the strawberry.
Especially when you're told to take a piece of the CAKE.
The strawberry isn't really a piece of the CAKE.

This OP is my favorite out of them all, including the eds.
It's so nice that they're telling us that they love us and that they're thankful that we love them too xD
Plus it's so fun seeing their audience jump around together with Yui :D

And being able to eat the Strawberry and saying you would feel bad if you ate the cake is even more weird.
When she went for the berry I assumed it was a joke. When she actually ate it, I looked just as Yui did even though it wasn't my cake (or strawberry).

not a fan of the new op/ed, First op/ed of K-On!! and the one from K-On! was wayyyyy better. Regards to the episode, Mugi was amusing! She was always the plainest of the girls, getting the least attention, a supporting friend role with not much happening to her. This episode changed that! Go Mugi! <333

I like the new OP and ED, they're already catching on for me.

Mugi is so adorable, it was good to see her steal the spotlight and the twin tails hair style really went well with her. The whole episode had me laughing but it was especially hilarious when Yui brought Nodoka to see Mio crying and was like "See?! This is how important the strawberry is!"

This episode was a win for me, and Mugi agrees -

I'm glad we finally go an episode where it's more focused on Mugi. I was starting to feel like she wasn't getting enough screentime this season.

Anyway, I so agree with Mugi: Ritsu would have been popular with girls if she was a guy xD

Damn another great episode. And one that gave a lot of screen time to two characters, who have never to my knowledge, shared a scene alone together before this. I think Mugi is fine but she's also the most under developed and most frequently written off to the side of the main cast. It was cool to get an episode focusing on her, and that they paired her off with Ritsu who like I said hadn't had many scenes with Mugi was pretty inspired. Plus they played off of each other well. I really liked the part for instance where Ritsu gets her ass kicked by the arm wrestling machine and Mugi "avenges" her. I would really like to see more pairings we haven't really in these coming final episodes though I'm not sure how many of those there are. Also the new ED is hype. And of course you don't eat someone's strawberry.

Mugi really cute looking in this one. She so innocent and nice it´s understandable she´s hard to hit even when done bad xD

Since season 1 I can´t decide between Mugi and Mio... And now half way through season 2 this doesn´t look any closer coming to a final decision.

Loved the new OP and ED, OP2 is better than OP1 for me, while ED2 is as good as ED1.

As for the episode, Mugi was never a fav of mine, but with episodes like these I kinda understood how can she have some followers!
Cute, funny and silly Mugi ftw in this episode!!

The new opening still can't match the one from the first season and it was even kinda weird, but I think it will grow on me over the remaining episodes.

Good episode again, this time focused on the friendship of Ritsu and Mugi, that was nice for a change.

Somehow this episode alone just elevated Mugi to my favorite K-On girl. Easily the best episode of the entire series thus far. ^_^
