Well yea. I implied as much in an earlier post. I'm sure KyoAni will let us forget about it before they make it. :P

Claymore actually created a sort of ending for itself when it decided to not keep with the manga, so unless I see something like that here, it's pretty well left open for a second season.


Though it will likely take a long long time Haruhi


Or perhaps not Clannad

Anyways... series is sort of cute... didn't strike me all too much...

They trolled around with Haruhi so much that I just don't trust them much anymore. :lol:

You're right, though. They had a nice turnaround with Clannad.

Mio makes this series for me and my wife. My heart broked [heh] though I laughed hysterically when she got kicked in ep 1...

But I too am on the 'what's the big deal' wagon for this anime.

Haruhi I can somewhat understand as coming off with some level of 'epic'. She's gawdlike after all. But I find this show to be mildly better than Lucky Star. [LS had dumber looking artwork]

Let this show end and let's see them continue something also awesome.

If they animated say, Kurohime or another action booty anime, I'm game for it. they've been doing nothing new but slice of life for like, forever now...

Liked ep11

But I concur, looks like a nice character development till you realize the show is concluding, and why spend the effort on a character on the second last ep.

And yes, I LIKE the show, but, the level of fan devotion does sometimes make me wonder about otaku. Some of the stuff I have seen connected to the show, just makes me scratch my head, and wonder, would I even want to know these people in person?

Somehow, you read into my comment, content that was never there :)

It IS about light fluffy nothings. Does a nice job too. K-On can almost be compared to a nice flaky pastry. Looks nice as hell, but, there's really nothing there, even if it tastes good.
But, if all the fan obsession is to be believed, there are a lot of otaku out there that sure get worked up over nothing.
I get a real kick over the incredible level of dedication to Mio's panties, all because of a non view that happened in one show.
One has to wonder, if all the fan energy could be directed to non obsessive efforts, just think of how much additional anime might exist out there.

Saw ep 12. Well, it is always sad when an anime is over, be it 13 shows or 130 shows.

But I at least liked the way 12 went.

Awwwww, the "final" episode! :cry:

As it has been foreseen, Yui got Ritsu's cold.

Spoiler :
- Mugi's eyebrows.....in Yui's dream.....*shrugs* :x
- YES!!!! Incest confirmed! *click me*
- Mugi's cosplay fun! I'm surprised that Mio got into it with Sawa-chan! :shock:
- Yui's condition is getting worse. So what's Ui's brilliant plan? That's right, impersonate her! :o
- I have to give props towards the voice actress of Ui of imitating Yui's rather ditsy voice. Of course this charade didn't last long when the other girls realized that fakeYui was surprisingly polite and Sawa-chan noticed she had bigger boobs! :lol:
- On another note, Ui was able to play Yui's guitar at perfection! Who would have thunk that?
- There's a nice flashback scene of Nodoka and Yui when they were kids. It seemed Yui fished out a bucket full of crayfish and dumped them at Nodaka's bathtub for some reason that's unexplained! :lol:
- Yui x Azu-nyan, confirmed?!!!! *click me*
- I guess it wasn't meant to be. :cry: *click me*
- Now Yui is back in business and ready for the concert....except she forgot her guitar. :?

Now comes the rather heartwarming moment when the the other girls and the teacher played the first song while Yui ran back to fetch her guitar in which she reminisce how much she changed since the beginning of her high school year.

Bawwww, it's the very final broadcast episode, episode 13! :cry:

Hmmm, I wonder if I should rename the episode title as "Someday in the Cold Winter" or "the Melancholy of the After School Tea Time band (minus Yui)".
Spoiler :
With the cold winter upon them, Yui suggested to the other girls to hang out at her place so they can have a hot pot, but the girls had other stuff to do. Mio went to the beach alone in order to get inspiration on new lyrics, Ritsu has to take her little brother to the movies (I didn't know she had siblings), Mugi had a part time job, and Azu-nyan took care of her friend's cat. I found it interesting that the latter two girls kept their activities a secret from the others.
Some of the girls faced pantry problems which got a bit overblown like
Spoiler :
Azu-nyan panicking over the cat's coughing and Mugi messing up at her part time job. Those moments definitely gave me Marimite vibes on the types of "conflicts" they sometimes face. Ritsu also thought she received cheesy love letters in the mail, and Mio experienced writer's block despite of arriving to the cold, cloudy beach.


It's rather interesting how this episode has all the girls converge back to Yui who seemingly had her usual carefree winter weekend with her wife sister Ui.
Spoiler :
And not to mention she became a "safe-haven" for the girls problems like for instance Azu-nyan didn't know cats can cough up hairballs and the cheesy love letters were actually lyrics Mio made (make that as you will, mwahahaha :twisted: ).


I say the most important aspect out of this series is that this is also the first series KyoAni where I can make SO MANY yuri slash pairings; not even Lucky Star comes close with it. And with this in mind, I say K-ON! will stick in my mind in longer periods than most people. 8-)

And 13 has past for me also.

It was ok, didn't upset anything that had happened, was more like a filler episode that missed out on being part of a 26 episode series.
