Oddly, this may be one of my favorite episodes so far because it just oozes "slice" and subtle human comedy. Lots Azu-nyan reliable cuteness as well. Interesting remix of "Fountain Pen" and manzai routine for the oldsters.

1) Apparently, we're only going to get partial songs (to drive CD sales one assumes). Meh.
2) Short Yukata for the win.
3) Azunyan with a harisen for the win.
4) off-shoulder fashion looks for Mio/Azunyan.
5) Ritsu can cause laughter just with her jaunty stance and expression.
6) Idiot-savant Yui who can channel test scores without comprehending any of it.
7) Azunyan versus enka ... 0-1 but 10-0 for the hilarity.

I assume the "YuiAzu" was an oblique reference to Puffy AmiYumi. There are probably other "joe-bob" named groups as well.

Note - coalguys substituted "Oh My Darling Clementine" for the actual folk tune.... not a bad job of localization, but I don't enjoy "localization". lets see what the other fansubs did with it.
