This seems like another great episode =)

[ronelm2000]

So what is this supposed to be about again? =S

Damn...pre-graduation isn't it Y_Y

[Maccette]

It's almost over....

[TakuanInc.]

...I don't know what to feel about this episode...

But it's really ending, huh....

[keroro gunsou]

Ummmm , the final episode of K-on coming soon ,next week!!!

Spoiler for ep23:

I cannot help remembering my highschool days. They seemed quite reluctant to graduate !!! Highschool days never come again. Oh I completely understand the means of ED lyrics,NO THANK YOU !!! The members of HTT hate highschool days become their memories. So,they are singing　NO THNK YOU to such memories !!!
Anyway, boys & girls , you have to live everyday not to regret in your future.
ep23 was emotional for me, becouse I have graduated high school.

[-Rhythm]

I'm graduating this year, taking my final exams now. =[

[Rice_slayer]

I just graduated 3 months ago and work full-time as a Automotive service tech. , the job I have wanted for like 6 years lol. I wouldn't say graduation is the downer part, it's just how emotional and anti-climatic it is. They spend the last 2 months of school pumping you up and preparing but once the ceremonies end My friends and I all thought "Is this all? Really THAT was it?" The melancholy feeling was around for a week, and just seemed weird that 2 weeks after grad I was a working member of society is what scared me. Can't wait to see this Ep.! I hope KK has it's subs out soon!

[GuiBleh]

It's ending

[Sparvid]

Spoiler for ep 23:

I loved how the tape turned out to be the one from the eyecatches.

Oh, and meganekko-Yui! With the usually invisible earpieces on Nodoka's glasses shown for once

Non-indicative next episode trailer of the week: Well, it's graduation... and none of the regular characters are shown.

[ElizLestrad]

Well, theres definitly hope for a Season 3, with Azusa getting Ui-chan and that other girl to join (I can never remember her name). Or since 22 ended the way it did, they could just stick with the origional characters, but then they'd be missing out on Azu-nyan and Sawako-sensei.

[ronelm2000]

that other girl...? Who is it?

[goombas]

I'm so sad that this anime is ending T_T

It made me depressed because I never got to experience fun High School days like this and I've already graduated from high school.

You know the one in the Jazz club with the frizzy hair? The one who hangs out with Ui and Azusa all the time.

You're talking about Jun-chan right?

[ElizLestrad]

Ah thats right! Yeah, I can never remember her name for some reason -_-

[Francismeunier]

I am really sorry I have not been with you all on thee discussions since I have so much other series I want to comment but this series end surely will bring great sadness as it was the only series that was comedy, slice of life, cute and of all musical with songs hitting top charts I would never imagine in anime. Well now I am here with you all so let me do mything and engage in conversations of this episode.....First thing about this episode is the sad part is that our girls have finished passing all their exams and qualified last episode to go all to their college #1 choice as well as to graduate high school. So this episode they were kind of bored and tried to do things. Well here is what I got as reactions during the various parts of the episode.....first thing came into mind was if these clothes are of Yui's new college or not here=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/b807b32c.jpg
I did not even know they had holders for Pockys as seen here=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/f7eb854e.jpg
I found out that not only it was funny but also cute of Yui to eat the pocky here=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/b9882e03.jpg
Oh yes! Pocky eating contest between Mugi and Yui! I though Yui at that point got some cavity from of her reactions around this part=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/7c89d860.jpg
Ritsu sure drew a yummy parfait that I like savor here=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/d1a7dc12.jpg
Oh my! O_O Ritsu sure has lots papers in her desk here=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/97a4e98e.jpg
Nice face Yui makes in the teachers' room while talking at the same time as Sawa-chan was to Nodoka=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/d2dd0183.jpg
I liked how Ritsu and Yui commented at the same time on Sawako's reaction to denying them having their fun with her here=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/4ae0180b.jpg
This was a particularly interesting part due to Nodoka's photo album I don't remember too well of seeing. The group pictures was especially interesting with all the people being around Nodoka=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/885d3dc2.jpg
Yui with Nodoka's glasses! So cute! With that scarf and all she looks a little like a secretary here=>

Particularly funny was Ritsus' expression here and Yui with her were so close yet cute. Reminded of that single part of episode 20 when they held hands=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/71f47d04.jpg
Interesting enough was when they asked which breads they wanted to Azusa and wanted to buy them for them here=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/cd7bd31c.jpg
How cute! They put a ribbon on Ritsus' last coin of her money here and do wonder how much is worth that coin.....one yen?=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/c46e8871.jpg
Spanking clean is the window! If you can your reflections it means for sure that! Mugi sure knows how to clean properly here but it was good they did cleaning after all it was near its spring due time=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/056e52b1.jpg
Little competition of floor cleaning between Ritsu and Yui? Why not? it was funny at that part for competition=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/c8490cac.jpg
I think it might have been a good idea to have put their names on the desk like it was mentioned here but eventually crossed over with a X =>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/b67e8dd8.jpg
Nice team pose at this episode here=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/5c026f52.jpg
If they play Honey Sweet Tea Time at their graduation as a special....it would amazing! As seen here in the list and did not hear it at all during the concert =>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/f9285dce.jpg
Oh my! Mio and Azusa look shy towards their voice recording on that radio at this part here=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/d0caea02.jpg
I did not see that Froggy for some time.....well now it's back!=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/62aee2df.jpg
They must been playing at least for 2 and a half hours or more judging from the time being 7:40pm on this clock here=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/b4c22b5f.jpg
Anyone know which type of Radio this is other is obviously made by Sony? Anything on the web about this radio? Here=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/0c2f4b02.jpg
The tape we see in the intermissions......well it's done finally! The first tape was nice! It was a sign of a heritage they can leave for future members of the K-ON club itself well I hope they also make copies for themselves too here=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/2a3e61be.jpg
No! It really is graduation next episode!=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/d1cec30e.jpg
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/b0496a54.jpg
But the series is 26 episodes long so 25 & 26.....I hope they will show their new college how it looks like and maybe more family members are a last graduation concert! Heck yeah that would be nice! I will leave you with a interesting article I came up with but due to the site it is NFSW so at your own risk=>

What do you all think? If this really happens I will feel and share her I voted 10/10 no problem!

Eh!? The series is 26 episodes long.

[Rice_slayer]

Next week is the last "plot" episode I believe, the last 2 are extra episodes like how Clannad:After story was

[NakanoAzusa]

So is it possible they might show how all are in the future like in Clannad: After Story? That might ruin a lot of things if they do that. I hope they do a third season but as a Neo K-On meaning Azusa and other band members since K-On is not only about Yui, Mio, Mugi and Ritsu. Sure they made the show a success but I will stress out that K-On is the club itself so adding the Neo to it might just mean a new beginning for what has a end must have beginning and all beginnings do have endings less they are suspended in time (in other words not finished and waiting to be finished). Also Sawako used to be in the K-On club and they still showed 2 to 3 of her friends....a partner in her band and for sure that girl that got married.

Meaning they could the same thing and just show the old members of K-On (Yui, Mio, Ritsu and Mugi) show up from time to time to visit Azusa.
Anyways it's GIF time! Master sets will be done eventually but for this episode I decided on the following to be done.......Yui freebies and I think one of them did not come out too well but at least I tried!=>

Originals follow in the order of the avatars from left to right=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/90390d4c.gif
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/4a9bc0ee.gif
Yui jumping at Azusa hugging her and rubbing her face on her face=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/d62d924b.gif
Everyone eating the famous large chocolate bread...that one was nice I will admit=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/8d31e775.gif
That's it but TBH this episode was one of the weak ones for GIFs as I did not catch too many opportunities to make many of them as I did with other episodes once I do master sets themselves.
