Gah, I'm really trying to not switch my avatar but these post aren't helping. :|

Chocolate bar test, eh? I like the concept.

I guess a lot of people will eventually watch enough anime to become "numb" to the characters or stories. Especially these light and fluffy shows. I suppose everyone's tolerance is different so there are people who tire quickly to some genres and others who cannot get enough. It does seem to help to keep people's attention if a show has a unique popular element that is just enough different that it doesn't swing the show to "unappetizing". Kinda like adding some raspberry flavor to give it a twist, but not enough to make it 'chocolate-flavored raspberry'.

Of course, if there is a person who just absolutely hates chocolate, then there is no amount of cajoling to get them to consume some.

Most 4-Koma kinda fall into the same genre: Light-Comedy. One which I cannot get enough of. I loved Lucky Star, Hidamari Sketch, Azumanga Daioh, and Doujin Work. Now it's K-ON

Why'd she choose a boring looking guitar like that? :/ Looks like a country guitar with its colour.

Yui reminds me of when I was trying to play. I was terrible. :/
I love to wear absurd and totally impractical garments. What's more, I derive great pleasure from spending time with women for no apparent reason.

There goes my weekly dose of moe.

Spoiler :
Embarassed Mio = megas cute!
The whole scene where Yui brought her guitar to school was just hilarious. I'd have wanted to take that off too! xD

Episode 2 was pretty fun.

Spoiler :
It's confirmed that Mugi is rich. I love the explanation for why she's bringing so many nice snacks to the club all the time. And her bargaining power. Yikes!

I like how Ritsu and Mio were thinking of music during their part time job.

And I love that Yui slept with her new guitar.

As of episode 1, there has been been a TRUCKLOAD of images (mostly of Mio, who's far superior anyways 8-) ), and a couple of MAD videos using only the FREAKIN' first episode! I say the reception is quite good! :lol:

And now episode 2!

Spoiler :
- Roll call, courtesy of Yui! She come to a conclusion that each of the girl's personalities gets reflected on the instruments they chose. Makes sense, don't you think?
- That's right, Yui you need to BUY a freakin' guitar first in order to be part of a band, and those can be pretty pricey! Good thing her mother gave her an advance.
- Guitar shopping! But since we're dealing with Yui, she got pretty.....distracted doing other kinds of shopping. ^.^'
- Finally in the music store! And no, Yui you don't need four arms to play the air guitar. :lol:
- Looks like Yui has her eyes set on the Les Paul, but that costs a whopping 250,000 yen!
- Which means part time jobs though Mio seemed to had bad experiences with them.
- So their part-time is counting cars all day? Oh GOD that sounds boring as hell! Seems like some of the girls realized it to point they're counting other meaningless things. I guess this is what you called occupational disease, right?
- And after all that, Yui felt kind of bad in using the girls' paychecks so she decided to go for the cheaper one.
- But the Les Paul is calling out to her! That's when Tsumugi started to abuse her status and bargained for that guitar. Did you know her dad owns the store?
- And Yui finally gets the guitar of her dreams! She is now happy up to a point that she slept with it! :lol:
- Ahhh, do you know that feeling of peeling plastic off a new guitar? I heard it's similar in popping bubble wrap.
- So the lesson is DON'T unplug the electric guitar from the amplifier that's in high volume.


I find it very intriguing that Mio is actually a pretty shy girl despite that "tall, dark bishoujo" look she gives off thus her reason in choosing the bass. I think I like her even more now. Next episode, balancing being a musician and a student!

Out of curiosity for you experienced rock heads. What brand of electric guitar would you rather have Yui play with?
