Spoiler for K-ON! Ep 5:

TakuanInc. · 2010-05-04, 12:34

I really, really liked this episode. Jun feels like the Ritsu of their group. And Ui can really do anything!

This episode kicked S2 episode 2 out of my number one K-On!! episodes so far. And there will still be more...

I give it a 10.

sunwen · 2010-05-04, 16:14

Why do they play "Go tell Aunt Rhody".
I think it's popular when kids play with singing in Japan.

kitten320 · 2010-05-04, 16:19

Ui sure is a walking talent...

It will be nice if we get a few more episodes like this to go along. As proven by this one, they have potential.

Our Azu-nyan’s back!

Spoiler for episode 5:

fict_ticious · 2010-05-04, 17:39

Little girls and their cell phones: The Animation.

Gets +1 from average for giving Jun a personality and jam session. This gives us hope that potentially another sidelined girl *cough*Nodoka*cough* or, dare I say, the other classmates will get the limelight.

Looks like we're back to manga content next episode.

wrong series

octoberasian · 2010-05-04, 22:31

A '10' for me for this episode. I share Takuan's comment above about this episode. It was really good. I'm about to watch it a third time now.

Spoiler:

... Time to watch this again.

fict_ticious · 2010-05-04, 23:03

Anybody else notice the lack of background music for most of the episode? The series tagline must really be "nice episode, but needs more music".

Proto · 2010-05-05, 01:21

The lack of music is used to enhance the melancholic feeling of the episode. If you notice, they used a raining sound noise for background noise for most of the episode to further support this effect.

That might explain why I started to like her

I was surprised that they managed to turn Jun from blank slate to quite interesting (and that's without me understanding the dialogue).

Kaoru Chujo · 2010-05-05, 02:17

Taketatsu Ayana (the voice of Azu-nyan) is perfect in this episode. Death by moe all round.

Aya-nyan (pix from her blog):

Squarecrow · 2010-05-05, 02:35

That episode was so cute and relaxing. A welcome change of pace.

Sparvid · 2010-05-05, 03:05

By the way, couldn't help but notice Ui and Jun rocking the shorts variant of zettai ryouiki on the second day

prnoct90 · 2010-05-05, 03:14

So, so far, only this, and "Drummer!" have been filler right?

ReddyRedWolf Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2006	Spoiler for K-ON! Ep 5: A side story involving Ui, Azusa and Jun. Oh some first years wanted to try but they are pure newbies. But it looks like we got next year's club members in those three. They just need a drummer.

Roardel Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: Japan	Our Azu-nyan’s back! Spoiler for episode 5: “Azusa-sempai!” How I waited that. Azu-nyan with her hair down. Like a Japanese doll? Kawaii! Ui is good little sister. I want a little sister like her. Jun is funny.

octoberasian Baka Gaijin :P IT Support Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Ceridia Age: 32	A '10' for me for this episode. I share Takuan's comment above about this episode. It was really good. I'm about to watch it a third time now. Spoiler: - We can probably get a sense, actually a sure-fire possibility, who's going to be the new club members: Azusa, Ui and Jun. - Decisions, decisions: Long-haired or pigtailed Azusa(-nyan)? She looks really good with her hair down, and can pass off as Mio's younger sister or a "mini-Mio" - Listening to the 3 play a simple tune near the end was enjoyable. Jun definitely has potential once she learns more. Ui in the same boat but she learns quickly. (See below.) - Watching the "other side" of the story of the last episode while the seniors were away on a field trip was very enjoyable to watch what the three were up to while the seniors were away. - Jun's joking that Mio, Yui, Mugi, and Ritsu gave up on the band was funny especially seeing Ui's and Azusa's reactions. Haha. - Ui looks to be a natural talent and learns quickly-- very quickly. She has never played an instrument before but after seeing her sister teach her, Ui picks up right away. She has never played baseball before but after seeing the other kid teach his younger brother how to play, Ui hit a home run. She. Is. Good. - Oh, let's not forget, the prank on Mio's desk! I would love to see Mio's reaction to that. ... Time to watch this again. __________________ Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, / I took the one less traveled by.

bhl88 Otaku Apprentice Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: The Unseen Horizon	Spoiler for Episode 5: Mt. Fuji. Jun, your imagination is jacked up...

Azusa... you always look like an anime figurine... can I buy you for $100? lol Jun's hair is like a bush... Ui's got fast learning skills... did you hack Yui's cyberspace for instant genius learning?! What great luck for them to come to the Light Music room though... Instant experts... those three... Oh... I got it... that was when they went to Kyoto... and Yui just called to say that... she got lost... The souvenir was a little different though... in manga afaik, it was a Kyoto pick... right now it was the "bu" hiragana keychain... and jet lag? __________________ Dang it Avalon, you c(XD LOL)-block Shirou and Reinforce, but don't protect his mind in other ways?

Marcus H. Infinite Moe Cakes! Join Date: May 2009 Location: the Philippines	Spoiler for ep05: They always have jet lag. It is a very nice episode, having the chance to look at the relationship between Jun, Ui and Azunyan. So since Ui can play keyboards, she can be the keyboardist while Azusa and Jun work on Guitars. __________________ Marcus' Handpicked for Spring 2013: Oreimo S2, Railgun S, Henneko and Date A Live.
