Frankly, this was the case in the UK and the USA even when I was a kid, but its like some kind of "stupid idea" switch went off in the mid-80s to coddle and retard kids and delay the onset of personal responsibility longer and longer. That all said, from an anime viewpoint - although Lucky*Star and others have shown parents are not a derail for a series, many writers simply take what I'll call the "Peanuts" route -- parents are in some other dimension and you only hear their little trumpet noises on occasion when they actually intrude on the world-bubble of the characters.

This was first pointed out in the Clannad A.S. 20 discussion and I pointed it out again in season 1 of this series. While you're thinking, "their parents are awfully neglectful." when watching anime, the Japanese viewers are thinking, "I wish I had adventures like that while my parents weren't at home." |

I end up saying this pretty much every time this comes up, but Kannagi had some of the highest Japanese market DVD sales of any anime released in 2008. That suggests to me a vocal minority raising hell more than anything else.

And it could be argued that we just happen to see the days when they're not home (for example, the first Christmas party wouldn't have been as funny if the parents were present, but who's to say that they weren't there the following year). It's not like, say Minami-ke, where the parents never appear nor are mentioned.

Nobody thought it was strange. And back then I'd go outside in the woods (starting at age 8) and play all day long. Usually just stopping back in at lunch and dinner. Hard to imagine parents letting their kids do that nowadays. Somehow the world has gotten messed up. Of course when you come from a family of 5 kids and are the oldest you're used to watching out for the little ones- starting at a rather young age.

Watched Episode 6 and we know that rainy season sucks the most... but wait... Did I see some MugiVision somewhere? I swear this episode had some flying around... but yeah...
Found it funny that Mio finally names her bass by the end of the episode... I laughed... Rating: 8.7/10

That was hilarious. She is a great character. I am thankful for the second season because she was only in part of the first.

I've grown to like Yui even though she's hard to take seriously but I could do with less Ui. I hope Ui gets less screentime cause her sisterly moments with Yui don't do much for me. Even though there aren't any gags or reminders on how mature or perfect she is this episode, I still dislike the way she acts and speaks.
I don't know how well this episode got adapted from the original but I thought it was alright. I never know what to expect from K-On but since there's no drama or villains, I can watch episodes like these with no problems. But, I was disappointed that Yui couldn't get to wear a cosplay outfit for the episode. I had my eye on that fancy school uniform on that rack, the one that looks like it's from a Bishoujo game. And, If Mio would ever get a boyfriend, I wouldn't mind. No matter how boyish Ritsu might seem I only think of her as Mio's best friend. A romance between them doesn't seem right to me. Cause Mio's such a ideal girl in my eyes, it would be more wish fulfilling for me to see her with a guy instead of a girl. |

K-On!'s starting to feel bland to me now. It seems like it's just one crack joke after another. There's no coherency, really. I know the same is of Haruhi almost, and yet I really like Haruhi, so I'm kinda confused right now. :S

Although it has been hinted every now and then that she's constantly perceiving her club members' relationships in risque forms. Quote:

Haha, I freakin love how Yui treats Gitah better than herself lol. It was funny seeing her in a maid outfit, and it was damn funny the way she said no when Sawa-chan tried to take the sweatpants off. Oh, and what she said when Mugi poured the hot water into the bucket. Yui was downright hilarious this episode. I can tell Azusa is really enthusiastic about guitar, buying all of those weird tools. Azu-nyan was so cute! Getting jelous over Gitah. Mio was also cute at the end of the episode. So her guitar is Elizabeth. A good name I guess.
This episode gets an 8/10. |
