Perhaps that is the direction it is going, in which case I will be disappointed, but I'll still watch I suppose. I have just been hoping this would be a very spinal-tap styled show in that it shows the humor of being in a band, rather than the crap you see in any other anime with high-school characters and re-using that material. It's too early to make assumptions on the direction of the rest of the show of course, I just hope it stays original. I doubt it will go the route I was speculating it might go down, but there is a small chance, and that seems to be the way many people here are treating it. |

An okay episode. I wish they could just quit beating around the bush and get on with the "band" element - that IS the series' selling point, right? This manga chapter didn't need to have an entire episode to itself.
Some funny stuff here and there. It was nice seeing Ritsu grappling Yui animooted, and the way they handled shots of Yui practicing the guitar made me think about the wrong things. I'm a little worried about Yui, though. The manga makes her out to be the run-of-the-mill kind of moron, but the anime is moving towards why-is-she-in-high-school-and-is-she-housebroken? kinda moron. I'd like her to have a little dignity at the end of the series. Mio can't seem to decide on what kind of character she is. Although funny in the manga, her rebound from the conversation about blood was a little too quick. Other things to note: - Ritsu... hmmm, feels more like she belongs in the athletics club. - Missing parents syndrome. I wouldn't trust Yui with the house, but I guess it's because their other kid and neighbor are dependable. - Mugi is just kinda hanging out there. Add another dimension to her, please. - If Yui and Ui had a third sister, would her name be "U" or "I"? |

Mmm not bad...Not as good as the previous two, but enjoyable nonetheless.
Guess it felt alittle too Yui centric...Could probably say the same about the other two, but it atleast felt like the other girls weren't strictly background characters throughout those episodes.

Not as eventful compared to the last two episodes, so there really isn't much for me to comment on, not that I'm criticizing it or anything, as I still find the episode quite enjoyable.
Having read volume one of the manga, I have to say that in terms of padding out original stuff in order to make the pacing look natural when adapting a 4-koma manga, K-On has improved upon Lucky Star's success. Whereas Lucky Star may have sketches going from here to there, one hardly finds any pauses between the adaptation of one koma to the next in K-On. Considering there's only 2 volumes out so far, they're doing quite good with the original scenes, so that only the first 3-4 chapters were covered. More than enough for a 1-cour anime. |

I feel that animators seriously cut the fat from girls legs, and made them straighter... I liked puffy bent legs in the first episode, it was cute and in Japan especially true to life. Quote:

I do enjoy those type of anime, but this show doesn't seem to come off immediately as that genre of anime at all. It really seems like it can't make up it's mind in that sense. I mean you look at the anime you mentioned and they have absolutely no real overarching plot, which is why they work like that. The characters are the sole "plot" to them. This has more to it than that.
Again, there are only 3 episodes out currently, so there's not much to judge this upon, but that's what I've observed. |

I don't get the hype surrounding Mio. She didn't do much for this episode... My favorite girl so far is Ritsu because she has such a wacky personality! Plus, she's the drummer! (I love drums) But each to its own, I guess. Maybe if I was a guy I'd like Mio better, since she's the pretty one, but I am not a guy, so...
And for some reason the snow scene reminded me of Remember11 (waking up in a cabin, etc) but I am sure the *real* reference is something totally different. And I like the fact that this anime has no story/progression. Maybe it was advertised wrong. So far it's more of a slice-of-life and less of a musical-oriented anime. But I like it this way. Random animes without plot, such as this one and Lucky Star, are good for a change. Pretty enjoyable episode, I am really liking this series so far! ^^ |

Try doing this everyday at extreme level for a period of 2-3 years. It sticks like glue to the head and won't come off. The only thing you forget is what they are called.

Math is a universal language, even in music as it forms the basis of rhythm. Don't you know a perfect treble clef has a centre that is drawn to the golden ratio? Back to the anime, it seems that Mio is becoming the goody-two-shoes girl. How she generates that much moe to attract males is.......interesting. I would like to take her to a lab for some personal analysis.

If anybody were to ask me to explain Fourier Theorems to them now, I'll probably just give them an incredulous look and laugh heartily at their expense. Back in school, I could consistently use them without error and spent a lot of time tutoring people about it, but now? I can't remember a damn thing.
During the open house speech by my Polytechnic's Headmaster, he casually stated that realistically speaking, most of us would only end up using about 15% of what we learnt in school when we enter the working world. With that in mind, he wanted us to not place too much importance on our subject matter, but to understand the importance of learning. How to continue learning on our own, and how to keep on learning when we start work. Finding out how to troubleshoot that office printer? That's learning. Knowing how to make two people work together despite their differences? That's learning too. Discovering how to make that perfect dish as a restaurant cook? E-yup, learning. It is impossible for them to teach everybody what would be relevant to them in their future, for to do so would require psychic powers to foresee their future fate, and quite possibly a colossal amount of learning material. What they can do however, is to teach them how to learn. It's a lesson I took to heart. Cheers.

In Real Life (tm) they are at times even shorter than in the anime, its almost ridiculous. No wonder Japan has such rampant schoolgirl prostitution. |
