Spoiler for Episode 5 of K-ON!:

I seriously can't get enough with K-ON...really made my day,and really worth it for me to wait for the raw to come out.And even if its not as eye popping as the previous episode,still episode 5 is amazing!

In this episode,Mugi went to the school festival's committee,to send their application for performing in the school festival,but since their club is not established yet,so their application was rejected.It was all because of Ritsu didn't send the club establishment form to the school student council just because of some cake.However since Yui's childhood friend Nodoka is on the student council,so she agreed to help them.However they still have trouble in establishing their club,since they don't have a club advisor.

Sawako sensei,which is their choice to become the club advisor,without them knowing it,has her own history with the light music club.In the end (i think) she agreed to become their club advisor.

And in the last scene before the ED,Mio was chosen to become the group vocalist,after seeing Yui's performance in singing

And yeah,abit yuri feeling from Mugi in this episode...although its not really yuri..but her expression really get Mio and Ritsu to misunderstand her.

Spoiler for Images:

Sawako sensei,being an ex member of the previous light music group...is truly an excellent guitar player lol...and she has a dual personality similar to Krauser,which change whenever she hold a guitar on her hand.






LoL being dumped by the guy she love just because she is not "wild" enough forced her to change her appearance...






But she still got dumped by the guy she like on her 2nd confession...





I kinda seen this face before...was it Akasaka..?

Spoiler for Next week preview:

So finally their first debut???

Spoiler for I knew it:

Lol, after hearing people hyping her so much I called the teacher character about a half a mile away including the whole Krauserish bit (since they've used this reference twice already and if there's one thing I know Kyoani loves to do it's milk a reference) and the apparent over the top guitar playing sequence because "it's as expected of Kyoani." Oh Kyoani.....I could practically write these things at this point. Now just to see how loud her actual voice is in terms of over the topness.

On the other more serious hand, it looks like we might actually be hitting a little teency wincy bit of background portions for some characters and dealing with stuff that actually has a little more to do with the music premise of the series so at this point I really can't complain. Seems like it could all end up predictable and ho-hum, but at least they seem to be trying a bit more now. Hopefully that means I can start giving some props once the sub comes out, and hopefully that also means I'm not setting my expectations to high again. Maybe I should just nix everything I just said from my mind and go in cold though just to be safe.

Spoiler for That face:

The face was made by Ranka Lee in something to do with Macross Frontier. I think it was the post opening eyecatch, but can't recall exactly. Maybe her cellphone ID.

Edit: Ah yes, here we go. Thankfully I had enough foresight to keep a picture of this on my blogs file collection.

Spoiler for reply to spoilers:

Did someone say yuri? Need subs now.

Hopefully Coalguys will understand our pleas and release it by this afternoon (it's now 4:15am here).

[serenade_beta]

Spoiler for ep5:

Very enjoyable episode. Full of laughs all around. Maybe it helped that most of the episode wasn't aiming at moe like an idiot like before...
Hmm? The scene where Mio kept on whimpering over some silly stuff? Such a pathetic scene does not exist, Mr. Rooster.

Still... Mugi does have some yuri tendencies... Well, not herself, but it seems she likes looking at yuri... Or something like that.

Sensei... Amazing character you are ~degozaru... (>_>)

Preview: Practice, practice, you'll do better if you practice~

Hahahahahahahaha! <--reaction from remembering a trauma

....

The over-the-top guitar play was IN the manga ffs. It have nothing to do with KyoAni milking out the refs. What KyoAni did was to pad it out a bit.

"That face" is a reference all japanese viewer will instantly understand. It's the face of Peko-chan from candy maker Fujiya.

[Raiga]

Spoiler:

Was a little worried about this show until this episode. All-around hilarious and enjoyable.

Sensei was... AMAZING. I love how she goes crazy to get her guy back and at the end he's like, "... you overdid it."

I suppose even KyoAni has a budget to save but they have avoided putting the camera on characters when they're playing instruments. Though there was that bit at the end this ep, and judging by the preview, hopefully we'll be in for a treat next week.

I loved the magazine binoculars.

I totally understand your feelings here guys, but seriously, don't bother wasting your efforts. You're not going to stop certain people from bashing on this show; particularly not when they've been so traumatized by their experiences "defending" Sunrise trainwrecks from bashers that they have to let off steam by doing exactly the same thing here. Just Ignore List them and leave it be at that.

After watching this episode, I'm adding Sawako to my list of Female Anime Teachers that I have a stronger love for. In other words, yes, I highly approve of her. Some fun moments from the girls including my favorite Ritsu.

However I have to say that thanks to this episode I've already been convinced as to which one should be my second favorite. And that girl is of course Tsumugi. Her personality, her way of viewing things, her charm, etc. They've won me over.

This is not to say that Mio and Yui are bad as I like both of them, but Tsumugi and Ritsu are still ahead of them for me. It's as simple as that.

In any case, I definitely enjoyed the episode and as usual I'm looking forward to the next episode. As well as re-wathcing this one later.

But it was fun thinking that Krauser has become a faculty advisor for the girls. I love that teacher.

Waiting for the subs. That one torrent was looking suspicious....

[Luminisk]

Damn you troll sub.

I guess the raws will do for now.

Heh.

[Midonin]

Nice job by Asami Sanada as Yamanaka-sensei, even if I kept hearing traces of Kanako in her voice.

[Bonta Kun]

Sawa-chan = epic win!!!

this show has not failed to enterain me, just brilliant!

also some awesome Mugi-chan win too!!!

instant 10/10!!!

[aohige]

Peko-chan has been around Japan for like, over half a century.
It's frequently used in cultural reference humor, since everyone can recognize it.



Another reference you will see often in anime and anything that takes place in Japan, is Keroyon, the frog figure standing outside of drugstores in Japan.

[Peanutbutter]

Sensei!

Thank god they cut down on the Mio moe, otherwise I'm gonna puke.

Spoiler for Ep:

Hilarious effort from Sawako-sensei in trying to destroy the evidence.

Nothing much to add, except that it confirms Kyoani definitely deserves credit for their high production values in this, with smooth scene transitions, dramatization, gags and stuff. Though it felt a bit cheap at parts with the still screens. But whatever.

And in the end, Mio will still be the lead singer. Nice job there. I was fooled for awhile, with Yui showing so much enthusiasm to it.
