There's some divergence here from the manga - but that wasn't surprising, despite some effort to coordinate plot points (such as the girls making it to their first choice). Looking forward to the original episodes

Azusa......

Spoiler for reality:

4 episode to go....

Dr. Casey · 2010-09-01, 07:52

I thought there were just two. 24 episodes, two special episodes, 1 OVA... I thought the special episodes were just those five minutes shorts.

Well, if noone joins up she has Jun, and Ui still makes a possible member, then you just need 1 more person.

Duno about special episodes but wherever I look, it is said 26 normal episodes.

Anyway I liked Azusa's expression when she got the messege^^
Also how was she informed in manga? Can't remember it...

krko · 2010-09-01, 10:24

First of all subs:

either the subbers are wrong or Azusa ain't so smart after all.

With all that's been said, I'll just add that Jun brings the best imagine spots in the series.

Although I still want the Christmas episode though.

We'll get 24 regular episodes, then two that lie outside the main story arc (like episode 13 of season 1) and most likely an OVA to make 27 episodes in total.

itzglez · 2010-09-01, 10:38

^ LOL subbers didn't know how to multiply, maybe?

this ep just made me sad. I'm missing my bestfriends all of the sudden when the girls were standing by the window watching the snow, pro'lly one of the reasons why I'm being sad all day and this just didn't made my night at all >.< sigh...~

Azu-nyan I know how u feel.

Subbers mistake.

"10 Yen times 100" is what it should be.

Don't worry, you're not the only one. The scene of them looking at the snow, with Azusa saying how nice it is to be with everyone, how it no longer feels cold when everyone is together -- it was just too much for me to take.

;_;

DJLowrider · 2010-09-01, 11:59

God damn it, I am going to miss this show when it's done. I'd like to let myself hope for a continuation of some sort, but at the same time I'd completely understand if Kakifly wants to move on to something new. Not all manga artists want to be a one-trick pony after all.

But then again there is something to be said for getting a steady paycheck these days...

I'm right there with the folks who have found the last few episodes pretty emotional. It's always like this when you've gotten so attached to a cast of such charming characters and you're seeing them getting ready to move on.

Zeroryoko1974 · 2010-09-01, 12:31

It was a very Azu-nyan is so moe daaaaaaaaaaaaw episode. I loved it.

In my opinion, Azusa is poor position. she is not original member. In many epsodes she did not join 4 members about school event, trip to Kyoto,summer seminar. She has ui & Jun as her best friends, but they cannot be subsutitute for HTT.
I feel that all 4 menbers was pretty selfish !! oh, they all pass same college!! Only azusa is going to be left. Why are'nt there the first grade members in this club? Did they worry about Azusa seriously?
They knew the day would come, when Azusa is only member of club. They should recruite new member more hard !! For Azusa, NOT FOR THEMSELVES... It is real love for the club,I guess.
Tonchan??? He is turtle !!
Azusa prayed for 4 senpais, in the shrine!!! She is so gentle.

SaintessHeart · 2010-09-01, 13:04

Azunyan finally shows her tsundere side. How cute!

Mugi's idea of chocolates, she must have been aware of them as aphrodisacs!

Wished they animated Mio crying about getting fat.

P.S : It should be 100 times 10 yen. Supposedly 10 cents is the smallest denomination buddhists put into temples as a show of respect - shouldn't be any different for Shinto buddhists too.

Pachael · 2010-09-01, 13:20

Remember how the keionbu was in trouble when Ricchan tried to apply for it? The official reason from Sawa-han was that 'all the previous members had graduated'.

So now we know ;p

PS where are they?

Nerroth · 2010-09-01, 17:12

I have to say, if they were trying to keep their options open, in terms of having a K-On!!! sometime (maybe alternating between the elder 4 in uni, and Azu-nyan's crew back at school) they seem to be doing a fair job of laying the groundwork for it.

I mean, if it ends soon anyway, in line with the manga, fair enough; but there is a strong 'end of the beginning' vibe I get (which, given how much of one's life actually does happen once you leave school, is as it should be).

The problem is following the girls further gets very dangerous since they get into the age where they seriously think about boys and, well, I guess everyone here has a bit of an idea how the hardcore otaku crowd deals with the implications that come with that fact

Anyways K-On is building a lovely momentum typical of KyoAni storytelling, it's becoming almost unbearable to us viewers who empathized so much with these characters... It's gonna be hard when it ends, as hard as Aria was...

Timeline of season 2 so far...

April: Episodes 1, 2
May: 3, 4, 5
June: 6, 7, 8
July: 9, 10, 11
August: 12, 13, 14
September: 15
October: 16, 17
November: 18, 19, 20
December: 21
January:
February: 22
March:

So yes, pretty big time-skip for this episode.

Also, on 2ch they have decided that there is a hidden message on Azusa's 1000 yen paper, especially the serial numbers 'HTT00823N':

HTT - self explanatory
00 - 'love' like in tennis.
823 - the numbers in japanese can be interpreted as 'Azusa'
N - 'Nakano'

Put together we get something like 'HTT love to Azusa Nakano'.

People may have been upset that the storyline ends at episode 24 and that the final 2 episodes are fillers, but this allows an opportunity for an timeskip - specifically, an Budokan episode set many years later? Very ambitious and unlikely, but people can hope.
