Can you say “Moe” one more time?
K-On = For the LULZ. This show is complete WTF randomness. XD But I love it~~
Quick Summary:
After joining the Light Music Club last episode, Yui is convinced by felow band members Ritsu, Mio, and Tsumugi to buy a guitar. Even though she can buy a normal guitar with the money her mother gave her, Yui finds herself attracted to a more expensive guitar. The girls resolve to get jobs in order to pay for Yui’s guitar. After a few days of counting traffic, they receive their pay, but it’s not enough. Yui tells the other girls to keep their money. She tells them she’ll just buy one of the less expensive guitars. The next days, the girls visit the guitar shop again. Tsumugi successfully bargains the guitar down to a lower price that Yui can afford. The guitar is purchased, and Yui promises to start her practice so she can make her new friends proud.
Thoughts:
It’s good to see that Yui has a sense of commitment… sort of. XD Nodoka was right. Yui is finally putting effort into something and wanting to achieve something. It’s a big development form the last episode.
And see that face? See? Everyone loves Tsumugi’s snacks! Ah my oujo-sama~~ ❤
“I was always laid back. When I was in kindergarten…”
“When I was in elementary school…”
“And when I was in middle school.”
Wow. WTF Yui? You haven’t changed a bit. XD Don’t worry. It’s cute though. ^_^
Mio! Mio! That’s my Mio! When I first saw her last episode, I really thought she’d be the tsundere type. She looks the part… but…
Really shy and timid~ I love it. ❤
AH~! TSUMUGI!
My oujo-sama! There you are! ILU~ ❤ Yui is spot on! Gently, fluffy, and cute. That’s my oujo-sama! See how I latch on to characters that would otherwise get no love? Oujo-sama! Don’t worry! There is enough love from me to make up for everyone else who likes Mio someone else better~!
And of course, like any other oujo-sama, Tsumugi has to be amazing at something classy and proper right? Oh, now I want to hear her play classical piano~ DO WANT!
Ritsu! I thought I’d hate you at first because you looked sporty and tom-boyish like Mucchii from Manabi Straight but never mind! I like you too! {Not as much as oujo-sama~!}
Ah, there it is. Ritsu’s OCD-ness about having to actually work to play an instrument. XD This was funny. She looked kind of tsundere in this scene. Or was that just me?
Oujo-sama~! ❤ I’m sorry, I had to cap you here because you looked TOO DARN CUTE! ❤
WTF Mio? That was too adorable! How did you make that sound so adorable? {These girls had better win SaiMoe… if they’re ever nominated. }
I love the contrast between her character here and her character in the ending song. It’s so different. I hope she becomes more bold like that. But two different sides to her is nice… even if the ending song isn’t exactly canon personality-wise. I mean, Yui is just sitting there looking quiet and behaved the whole time. OOC much? XD
Hey Yui? When did you get so moe?
Haha… she can really get spaced out that easily, huh? {Actually, I shouldn’t be the one to talk… o.o;; }
Yes, guitars are expensive. This little scene was funny though.
Yui: “Can we use the club allowance?”
Ritsu: “Nope!”
XDDDDDD
In parts like this, I can really heard the “Suu” in Yui’s voice. Ah~~ Aki Toyosaki. You’re good as Suu. You’re really good as Yui. I think you’ll be really good as Bessho when Hatsukoi Limited comes around~
Ah Yui~ So blunt.
“Onee-chan, you know how to play the guitar?”
“Not at all!”
“I’ll ask with you!”
D’awwwww. What a nice sister you have there, Yui. You should feel lucky. My sisters are just annoying {usually}. >3>
XDDDDDDDDDD
Saw it in the preview, but oh my god. That was hilarious. {Ahem… not as hilarious as something coming up though… ahahahahaha. }
And because of Yui’s ADD, she has to stop and pet the dog. XD
I kid, I kid.
Yui: “Hey, aren’t we forgetting something?”
Mio: “Your instrument.”
Yui: “Oh no!”
Points for Aki Toyosaki. That was classic. I could watch that over and over again. XD
Guitar shops are cool places. I remember my dad buying a guitar~~~ yeah… -nostalgic-
…
Sorry. But I don’t think a smilie exists that expresses how hilarious that scene was. So I’ll leave it for everyone else to watch and understand my conflict here on not having the right smilie.
That guitar is pretty awesome. I admit, Yui has good taste. -nodnod-
But ah~ Look! 250,000 yen! Lots of money, huh?
Awwww… my oujo-sama~ Not only do you look really cute and pretty there but you’re also such a good friend!
I think that element is going to play a big part in this show. With shows like this, friendship is usually a big key component.
XD And now we see how Mio and Ritsu got their instruments from a flashback~
While Mio spent several days shyly looking at the same one before buying, Ritsu aggressively scared the crap out of the counter-person bargained lower.
Yes! Good idea Ritsu! You guys can get jobs!
And… lol. This scene was really funny. Oujo-sama made me crack up this time~ XD {I love how Mio looks so distressed there.}
Oh, but what kind of jobs?
Maybe passing out tissues?
Or working at a fast food counter?
Oh, whoops. None of the above work for Mio.
Aww Mio. Your imagination is cute. XD
“If it’s for Yui, I’ll do anything!”
Now there is a good friend. =) That was nice of you Mio. I’d like to see her get more open and outgoing as the series goes on. Good character development!
So a job as a traffic counter? Interesting.
And LOL at Ritsu presisng the counter as fast as she can {And then pinching her finger. XD }
So my oujo-sama Tsumugi and Yui are up first~!
It looks like Yui stole Ritsu’s hat. XD
OUJO-SAMA~!
Dang Yui… you’re spot on. She is like a princess of the highlands. XD
XDDDDDD
Hello Mio! Hello Ritsu! You two look awfully cute today!
{LOL… Ritsu took her hat back. And Mio stole Tsumugi’s. XD}
Haha… Ritsu being the drummer she is starts using the counter as a drum set. I love how Mio kind of responded to that by picking out the tempo of the beats. It shows that these girls are capable of being musically talented!
Of course! They’re snacks from oujo-sama! ❤
XD
Still in the mode of counting cars, huh?
Awwww… Yui. You’re so nice… just giving the money back to them and all. That’s really sweet. Looks like she really is into this band thing now. She’s dedicated. I kind of like that.
As much as it’s ncie when she’s ditzy and weird and spaced out… it’ll be nice to see her get more serious about this whole matter and actually want to try to do something, instead of being “laid back” all of the time.
You go for it Yui! We’re all cheering for you!
Back to the Guitar shop the next day~ Ah, but it seems like Yui really really wants that guitar. Hmmm… oujo-sama? Want to take action now?
Ah, you’d better not say no to oujo-sama, mister counter-dude.
XD That’s right! Don’t diss oujo-sama and her eyebrows! Looks like she inherited them from her papa?
Lol.
Counter Dude: -points weakly to a palm-pilot- Is this low enough?
Tsumugi: Lower!
Yes! Go oujo-sama!
Ahahaha… Tsumugi. If you had known that all alone, it would have been much easier and you guys wouldn’t have needed to get the jobs. AH! WAIT! But no! Because then I wouldn’t have gotten my “Princess of the Highlands” oujo-sama, so never mind!
And like anyone else, of course Yui would be up late admiring her new guitar. Plus, her face expression here is priceless. XD
Horrah~! Now those are some good friends! It’s time to get this band started up now, huh? Too bad Yui still doesn’t know how to play the guitar. But of course she’ll learn because this is anime and that kind of thing is expected!
And everything sounds better with an amplifier. Another point for Yui. She’s really getting attached to this guitar thing. Now watch as Yui goes to go unplug the guitar from the amplifier…
Well Yui, you sure have a lot to learn. XD
At least Mio seems to know everything about this stuff. Good Mio. Even though you’re shy and stuff, I can totally see you becoming the lead of the band. =3
Looks like everything is finally coming together for these girls. It’s cute though, since they all seem to be dedicated in their own way. I like that. ^_^
Plus, they have an advantage with Mio being an expert on bands, and Tsumugi being the oujo-sama she is so she can get them whatever they want. They’re on stable ground. Good luck girls!
Preview
Ohh… midterms. Harsh. It looks like Yui didn’t study. But ah! What is that?
I keep seieng her taking the test in the preview and it looks like she’s doing well? But because of Tsumugi’s snacks?! o_0;

That’s it for K-On! It’s early this week! I’m saving tomorrow for Saki.
I think I’m dropping Tears to Tiara from the blog list, but I’ll still be watching it because it’s pretty awesome. But I won’t have enough time to blog it during the week. Hetalia is short enough the blog on Tuesday’s, so I’ll be doing that.
Otherwise… next post is Saki, coming up tomorrow!
Bye bye!
Awesome, I thought I was the only one who saw this. XD
Yes, I agree with everything you said. I didn’t even realize the OCD-esque trait of Ritsu over keyboard and guitars. ^_^
I know~ That was the first thing I thought in that scene. I love Yui’s “out-there” moments. ❤ (I think nothing tops the castanet scenes in episode one, though. XD )
Oh, OCD-esque trait of Ritsu’s really stuck out to me. That’s going to help me like her a lot more. (She’s lowest on my list~ The other girls all have more interesting traits. But that will help me for sure. =3 )
And woah… I’m surprised I actually got a comment from a blogger like you… 0_0
I’m flattered… ^_^; Thanks for the feedback. :’D
