Only if Mugi continues to supply Azusa's Light Music Club with "cake".
Or the Jazz Club and the Light Music Club combine (because both need at least four members each, Jazz Club as at least three next year if those two freshman stay with Jun, and the Light Music Club has maybe two if Ui joins Azusa) Ton-chan on drums? Oh and I can see Ui commuting to whereever Yui is after club activities end to make sure she's eating and everything...if Yui doesn't still live at home with Ui. That is if HTT doesn't meet at a different location for "practise, tea, and cakes" with Azusa.

I'm really enjoying this series so far. It's already surpassed the first, in my opinion. The characters are less one-note and the humour hits much more often. This week certainly wasn't as good as last week's episode - that seems to intentionally be the case, with Ui and Azusa hanging on Yui's every text. But it was good to see the little guys in the limelight for once. It's certainly the first time we've really gotten a sense of Jun's personality. And after their impromptu jam session, there's the suggestion that Ui and Jun will jump ship to the club next year.
Funniest moment this week? "Skull". It slayed me last week, and I really wasn't expecting to hear it again this week. I was hoping for a concert next week, but it looks like we'll be waiting a bit longer. If this series has been confirmed to be 20+ episodes, then that isn't really a problem.

Interesting... in the space of about 30 seconds, they managed to move Jun-chan from being "just a cardboard minor character" to seeming to be a fully fledged out personality.
(around 8:20 onward). She's like this closet-Ritsu who'd like to be more like Mio but ... not happening. They've done a pretty good job of creating a threesome with their own mix of eccentricities. edit: and wow Azusa has an amazing waterfall of hair...

The term is not always a compliment. I give the translator a pass... since the same can be said for anime figures (not always a compliment). This is one of the very few series where I've found "anime-only" episodes actually add great value to the story.

As much as I love K-ON!!, the "story" is 90% girls being girls. In that context, I'm not sure what you'd classify as "filler". Besides, I thought the last anime-only episode (Ritsu trying new instruments) had some of the best character development AND musical focus of the entire series.

Yep, looked like a Squier to me. I should know; I own one myself! Fittingly, I named mine Aki-chan, after Yui's voice actress. One of the pickups is slightly angled on mine, but otherwise Azunyan's was a dead ringer. And she had a blue one, too, the lucky thing! I had to settle for sunburst.

I Liked this episode lots! Jun has persionality! Her joke was funny, I must say~. How does Jun fall asleep that fast anyways? Their little jam session was fantastic. And ...there's a curse in the next episode? :l

It was funny seeing Azunyan's expression after daydreaming of what a more assertive Yui would be like.
Plus, I wouldn't like to see how sad Ui might have been at other times Yui may have went away - when there was no Azunyan or Jun to keep her company. I can imagine Azunyan leaving her hair long once she graduates, or maybe if/when she takes over the band in her senior year.

Your knowledge about kokeshi is precise. Yes, it is made of wood and painted, do not have hair. Spoiler for not anime image:
Ichimatsu doll has black long straight hair. "You look like Japanese doll." is expression to praise. It means that you are traditional Japanese beauty. But...... Spoiler for not anime image:
looks of Japanese doll is horror, especially at night. Japanese children often feel fear to it. There are famous episodes "they have blood tear on their eyes every night" or "their hair becomes longer and longer every day" or more... That's a reason Azu-nyan don't like this praise expression. I guess Mio hates it more. XD |

Wow, this episode was great had good bit of development for the trio, and plenty of Azusa and Ui cuteness, plus the set-up jokes from last week were amusing . Easily my favorite episode so far of season 2.
Though I still can't decide on if I like Asuza's hair down, or twintails cause both look so good on her . Also on ... Spoiler for Yuri/etc:

The "skull" joke was setup pretty well.
Also Yui's phone call to Azusa was timed well...I'd almost forgotten about it when she called.

Don't know what Jun's using; it's not a Fender head stock, so it's not a Fender or a Fender clone. |

It's a Yamaha bass. The body is similar to a RBX model, but the headstock looks as though it came from a Parker guitar. That said, that's definitely the Yamaha logo on the headstock itself.
