Haha that's what i thought too when she do that heart shape with her finger.I was thinking maybe its a parody from other anime,but i couldn't think any of it except Shugo Chara.

Round two is flawless Haruhi's victory.

Mio is funny, it's funny when she yells to scold people!! LOL

I'm surprised she doesn't get really mad at Ritsu in this episode though. First of all, she was pretty much dragged into the club. Then the leader makes extremely high goals. Then the whole club doesn't want to even practice. I was expecting her to blow up in this episode. Surprised she didn't..... oh well, this series doesn;t seem to be a super dramatic one anyway.

Edited out.

Lol Just got into this Anime and watched the first 4 eps in the past 2 days. Loved this one the most, the whole "Moe, Moe, Kyun~" thing was too funny! Honestly, this is like lucky star without making you feel your watching 8 year olds :p. I found my new anime :). It also has encouraged me to pick up a better amp for my bass :).

One thing I would point out is that Yui's skills and the progression of them towards the festival have very little to do with KyoAni, and much more to do with the basic source material...the manga. KyoAni just follows along. Yui's skills are pretty much exactly as depicted in the manga. Her other traits are a little exaggerated, by her guitar playing is pretty much the same in the manga and anime.

Has the manga been progressing faster than the anime in terms of context?

Nah... they are pretty even. Besides, it's difficult to say because the manga is a 4koma.

Five episodes in and it has covered seven chapters of the Manga or 66 out of 114 pages of the first volume. (typically there are two 4komas per page).

When I saw Mio trying to make the other practice somehow I have an impression of déjà-vu

and it seem like Mio is the better muscian of the four.

Ah I see thank you :D.

I thought Tsumugi had gotten awards for her piano playing or something?

In the anime Yui manages to recognize the guitar part of the music from the tape recorder. I wonder if Yui practiced the piece beforehand .. well since the music is composed by the former k-on members .. the score probably was left on the club room and was reviewed/practiced by Yui ^^

Not a terrible episode.... but mostly little moments of sparkles. Probably the best instance for me was Yui on her first "soloing roll with fireworks" moment.

We did get a clarifying spectrum of Mio in all her facets. Really, I think I just nailed my particular like of Mio -- her looks and personality are like the spiritual descendant of Motoko Aoyama of Love Hina (with a bit of L*S Kagami's growly and her eyes)

Good typical, beach/trip episode, liked Mio waking the others with her bass, and of course Mio Vader Choking (cool I think just coined a new phrase) Ritsu

heh... yeah, Mio Vader ftw....
