So we went from Haruhi costume raping Mikuru into a nurse’s outfit and then following it up with ear nibbling to Mio just posing in front of a camera as Mugi enthusiastically videotapes it. Mmm… downgrade but still acceptable. I just wonder what K-On!! might have been like if we had Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Kyoto Animation rather than Endless Eight Kyoto Animation.

So explain to me why this episode couldn’t have aired in the continuity (between 21 and 22) as given away by Yui’s hairstyle? Like why not have 24 end the series and have 25 and 26 fall where they should have fallen? Why end the series then add in two filler episodes? At least with the Bebop movie, that happened long after the series finished airing when fans were clamoring for more. This sequence of episodes was planned already. Sigh.

Loved Sawa-chan’s idea to make an action movie trailer out of the rock band club, though I would have gone with an Inception-type concept rather than the genericness going on here. But, with that said, it would be awesome if we could swap Mio for Saki in Eden of the East. I just wonder what would happen when Mio saw Taki’s Johnny for the first time.

Sawa-chan… greatest fashion designer since whomever invented the Wonderbra. I liked how Mugi still didn’t give up and still wanted to fit the outfit into Azu-nyan’s video idea somehow. I’m convinced Mugi’s manifest destiny is to become the headmaster of an all-girls academy.

(Sawa-chan’s manifest destiny? Jail after she snaps and costume rapes the light music club of 2021.)

Loved how Ritsu managed to sneak her lines into the final video, but I was disappointed she didn’t sneak in a “… and grow your breasts by one cup size. Look at Mio!!! She wasn’t like that before she joined.” And then she holds up a bikini picture of Mio.

IZ DAT SUM FINLAND?

Ritsu reprimanding Sawa-chan for making too revealing of outfits and reprimanding Mugi for being too enthusiastic in videotaping such outfits… Ritsu is a terrible leader. I can’t agree with her decisions. I’ll be the Tea Party to her Obama for this production.

(Less fabric! More pixels! Less fabric! More pixels!)

(And very disappointed Mugi didn’t pull out 3D IMAX cameras to film this. Very disappointed.)

Biggest stretch of K-On!!… the just sit around, eat sweets, feast on junk food, and not gain weight. I’m convinced Yui would weigh 300 pounds before she finishes college.

Nice work on the animation Kyoto. Next time, though, give Azu-nyan a Death Note. That would be an awesome spin-off as well Azu-nyan starring in a Death Note sequel where every name she writes in her notebook… has to practice playing an instrument! OH NOES!

My favorite interview? Nodoka-chan’s. Loved her witty response about the forms. She’s awesome. Sadly, the greatest politician in the world, both fictional and non-fiction, resides in a manga/anime franchise that features an all-girl rock band.

(At the very least, she’s a huge upgrade over Rossiu. Imagine if she ran Kamina City instead of him… Simon and Yoko wouldn’t even need to come out of retirement. She would have handled the anti-spirals with her efficient diplomacy and bureaucracy.)

Azu-nyan!

(Sawa-chan, you are a genius. Except the part where you burned a DVD instead of uploading it to YouTube, Facebook, Flickr, and YouPorn. That was Yui-class fail. Who the heck burns a DVD to share video these days?)

Twintails! I think for the interviews, Kyoto should have gone with the girls from Haruhi with Taniguchi tossed in trying to do a girl’s voice. That would have been epic. That would have been the Shaft move.

Yes… a big can with “COOKIES” on the side… that’s the safest place to hide something from teenage girls. That’s equivalent to storing a box marked “LUBE” next to Leonidas and his 300 merry men.

“Anyone have a better idea?”

You mean for how to end this series? Or how to end High School of the Dead? Or to solve the crushing global economic malaise? Or how to make this annoying 3D gimmick to go away?

(I hate this 3D gimmick. I dislike having to pay an extra $3 at the movie theater… why is seeing one first run movie more expensive than two month’s worth of Netflix? It just makes me not want to go to the movies. Secondly, 3D TV… one slightly better of an idea than Smell-o-vision. Do these manufacturers really believe that people want to wear annoying glasses to watch TV? Or that 3D TV cannot be watched while lying down (horizontally), which is the most comfortable state for watching TV? I could rant about this more, but I’m already foaming at my mouth like Glenn Beck.)

Yui… looking slightly cool there.

Azu-nyan… still couldn’t be honest with herself until the end. I think she’ll miss being the club mascot. And no doubt she’ll lead the light music club like how Rossiu led Kamina City.
