Song itself felt flat but that's in character to reflect their amateur status. Yui singing with her horsed voice was funny too.

Its an all girls school no boys.

Bonta Kun · 2009-05-07, 22:06

Nice ep altho maybe not as good as teh previous its still very evteraining none the less.

I love the girls in the cosplay, they looked great. Really loved the part with Mugi-chwan and Yui-chwan dressing up in the nurse and swimsuit

Mugi-chwan doing her piano intro was cute!

All things Mio-chwan are cute as always!

also just remembered what the music played when Ritsu was doing the intros, reminds me of The Sims for some odd reason.

LMAO Yui actually lost her voice XD. VA really did a good at the broken voice since it kept me laughing for the entire episode (Hell, you can even hear it in their performance too). Man that's some dedication there( Hope she really doesn't lose her voice by doing that).

slayer545-sama · 2009-05-08, 03:31

This episode was top notch! Amazing really! The concert was nice and I WAS CHEERING ON! K-ON ROCKS! Loved the sumo gag! It was also good to see how Ritsu and Mio were when they were kids.
What I liked:
-Oh boy did I ever love Yui when she was at the stand of the Yakitori (fried chicken stand, a popular thing in Japanese festivals!) Loved her purple wig!
-Hahahahhah was it ever funny to see Mio as in MOE MOE in front of the haunted house! Loved her cute scary appearance!
-It was even funnier to see Mio freak out a la MOE MOE MOE! So much in fact some people got the hell out of the house!
-Kotobuki as undead person was so :071: I LOL ALL THE WAY!
-Nodoka had her own charm with her police outfit! HAHHAHA!
-Loved the sumo gag. Gotsan des (means thank you in sumo language) and also Do soi! With the way Yui was doing her hands it reminded me of E. Honda from Street Fighter game.
-Loved it when Ritsu/Yui/Kotobuki spied on Mio practicing to sing.
-I LOL really hard as soon as Sawako showed the clothing options for the girls of the concert.
-LOL at Yui's impressions when seeing how Kotobuki is so much stronger than her and can carry heavy loads.
-Loved the part where Ritsu talks about her and Mio's past! MIO WAS SOOOOOO MOE MOE MOE AT THAT PART!
-LOL at the cat sleeping at one point!
-LOL at how Mio was freaking out for the singing part!
-Loved the way Ritsu was overreacting along with Yui's expressions.
-LOVE LOVE LOVE the concert! It was great! It was fantastic and now we need something live like this. It would be great indeed!
-LOL @ Mio tripping down after and all seeing her panties. BTW for those who are pissed because of no fan service. GROW UP! SOMETIMES ECCHI IS SHIT IN ANIME! K-ON does not need it simply because the MOE MAKES UP FOR IT! Seriously they should have made something else than the bowl of rice with the white and blue stripes. IT WAS STUPID! You can all pray that DVDs might have something different but like Clannad I DOUBT IT! Very much.
What I did not like:
-To be HONEST, THE STUPID FAN SERVICE! There is no use for it. GET REAL HERE PEOPLE, there will be TONS AND TONS of fan based manga that is hentai about this. Like in comikets. It will be just a matter of time before it comes out. TRUST ME IT WILL HAPPEN! I might even post some links to them just to prove my point.

MOE MOE MOE MIO! MOE MOE MOE RITSU! Excellent to show them when they were very young in school!

Kotobuki in NURSE OUTFIT and Yui IN SWIMSUIT just made me think of sex and do it with them!

Oh yeah! MIO IN MAID OUFIT! MOE MOE MOE! Is all I say!

Spoiler:

Kaioshin Sama · 2009-05-08, 04:04

Pretty standard School Festival ep in my opinion. We've got Mio getting spooked in a haunted house, the girls help out with the food service and everybody trying to get ready for the big show later on etc etc. Though there are a few surprises....

Spoiler for My Thoughts:

Gotta say, WTF with the moe costume service when it comes to Yui's school bathing suit and Mugi's nurse outfit. Again they're not even trying to hide this shows blatant pandering, but that's okay I suppose given that it's been like that since day one anyway.

Animation was even more wildly inconsistant then usual, which seems to be a growing trend, but I've gotta give props to Yui's VA for pulling off a pretty decent impression of a person who's lost their voice. Seriously though, sometimes the character animation is wildly expressive and looks great, but other times it just looks like a vague representation of what the characters are supposed to look like. I don't know what gives.

I'm starting to grow weary of the fact that they never seem to want to show the girls practicing and/or the steady path of improvement and instead opt to just place all of the time on moe moe sequences. At this stage it should not be too much to ask for even a still image with audio overlayed showing them doing this. Though I will admit that some parts like Mugi carrying all of the equipment while Yui struggled to even get one small speaker to the auditorium where kind of amusing. Buy Yamaha kids!

Speaking of kids, it was interesting to see the bit about Mio and Ritsu being childhood friends come up again even if it was all played for the moe and setting off Mio's panic attack about having to sing. I wonder whatever happened to Mio being the confident sass that she was in the first few episodes. I guess that was just an act and really she's not very confident at all except around Ritsu who she's always ripping on.....who knows?

Speaking of Ritsu, for how much she usually annoys me I kind of dug her MC Ritsu bit.

And good god the girls actually give some words of support to get Mio through her stage fright instead of her just randomly going out there and playing like a goddess like I thought was going to happen. I mean honestly I've been waiting so long for them to show some sort of triumph for the characters as a group that actually seeing it happen, even if I feel they fast tracked their improvement as musicians is a happy sight. It's cliche as all heck and really the development is far from outstanding, but it's as good as it's been in K-On so I can't complain too much.

The use of a music video is something I was not expecting, though I think it was actually an interesting idea. The song was alright too and the lyrics appropriate for this series.

Episode got a little meta at the end with the reference to a Mio fanclub. Honestly I still don't get the whole Mio worship fad (which is really what it is to me) and I'm not going to go ballastic over a disguised pantyshot for a character anymore then I would for the actual thing (which isn't very much) so I see no real merit or demerit to that being put in either why. I do however await the inevitable cramming down my throat of what Mio did this episode by the internet by the time the week is out.

Despite being rife with stock cliches that made some parts bland the episode was pretty decent. Certainly above my expectations for it, though they weren't really set very high in the first place. Next time is apparently the obligatory Christmas episode so I guess we'll see how that goes and if it's completely formulaic or has a few surprises like this episode had when the time comes.

alu546 · 2009-05-08, 04:14

(since the sub is out)

This anime is so true to life, Mio even has her own fanclub!

lol anyway

Aside from that, I am not surprise the song soundd like it came from amatures, since it did. I hope they get better. Though I think they should realize that they dont really need a music video for the songs, since one of the neatest things for me is to watch the lipsynch animations.

I imagine it was short because of that amature thing again, but oh well. The directors probably know we want something like the full version of the ending eventually.

Also, I like how Mio is pretty much the center of the band now, she connects the dots. But, I still like Yui being the lead. I dont think Moe characters make the best leads, though they can be favorite characters nonetheless.

Ritsu "Seems Mio is over her shynesS"
(INSTANT THOUGHT): Noooooooooooooooooo!
(Mio pantsu scene followed by a return to her shy moe ways)
(INSTANT THOUGHT): Oh thank you god.

EDIT : Oi, what does it say on Mios fan club poster?

Double_Edge · 2009-05-08, 04:18

Lol, Mio is so cute!
She switched hands when
Ritsu called out to everyone! LOL
And young Ritsu is so
obnoxious, I'm
lovin it!

The song was alright, but it was kind of...... too sugary I guess.

I don;t know
why everyone hates the music
video. This show always seems to find an
excuse to NOT animate the characters playing
their instruments. Better a music video than
just panning at the
scenery and
people;s
faces.

I always thought
Yui would be the main
character...maybe they'll
switch the main characters
up throughout the series....

I liked the pacing too. Before their performance, i too felt really anxious and nervous, hoping that they would do a good job and that the audience would respond well. Guess that's what it means to be "absorbed" into a show. =]

Kaioshin Sama · 2009-05-08, 04:28

I honestly meant it when I said that I didn't mind the music video. It had some neat imagery even if it was kind of a series of still shots at some parts. Though I wasn't expecting anything that would rock my socks off like the Basquash opening which is currently leading in the pop rock video/music combo department as far as this season is concerned. Plus at this point anything imaginative like this music video in K-On is more then welcome.

Though it is kind of hard to deny that the transitition to it seemed awkward. Kind of makes me wonder if the DVD version ends having a completely different sequence or something.

Peanutbutter Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2007	Spoiler for Ep 6: Screaming Mio!!!! Loli Mio!!! Everything up till the concert was fine. The performance itself...not so much. - Too short - Sudden MTV, which was not quite my taste as well, considering the lyrics and all. - Yui's broken voice - Song not catchy enough, imo. Amateurish peharps but inevitably, when I think of the other more popular one, this one really fades in comparison. Maybe and hopefully there's more longer and better performance. - Bowl of rice? I claim loli Mio.

I wouldn't have minded seeing them play on stage for a few minutes, but I suppose it breaks the tedium if they are going to be on stage more than once this series. Like how Yui sang the accompaniment . Gives us something to look forward to if this is their current "skill" and they can only improve.

Nochgo iceman Scanlator Join Date: Sep 2008 Location: CO, USA	Spoiler for eps 6: Ah, finally the school festival episode. Certainly, I had high expectations for their performance, and it wasn't too bad overall but it still was a bit of a let down. The music video was certainly unexpected though... not to mention it was weird. Haha, and the gothic shot of mio was overkill, and stripped pantsu The teacher knows what she's talking about when she said 'watashi, goddo jobbu' Enjoyable episode. Every episode, full of Mio moeness... to the point its getting too much. I mean, its good and all, but I'm taking like 100 screenshots of mio every episode ^^; and I end up taking 40 minutes to watch a 20 minute show... But its still all good I guess __________________ Korean-Manhwa My Anime List
