Anime in Focus: K-On episode 3

<-Previous episode

Well, I had a relatively large hiatus on this series, but I managed to get back to it.

This episode revolves around everybody’s ADD and Yui screwing up on a midterm. Thanks to this, Yui has to take a midterm, and this causes a major problem, seeing that she needs to pass the midterm before she’s allowed to pursue club activities. This is a problem, because the lite music club needs four members to operate, and Yui getting canned would cause them to get booted.

Unfortunately for the group, Yui has no attention span, and studying leads her to study her guitar when she should be studying algebra. While this is good for the club, in the short term, nobody is amused at how helpful it is in the long term.

Towards the final act, the group decides to get together and help her study, which according to Yui is akin to being stuck in a snowstorm. This leads to an interesting scene, but I never really got any feeling of suspense from the episode.

This episode was a bit boring towards the beginning, but got much more exiting towards the end. I certainly hope that the show gets more exiting as it goes along, because not much has actually been happening. I was promised cute girls with guitars, and they haven’t been spending nearly enough time with guitars in their hands Also, I hope to see more of the rest of the band, because we've spent plenty of time with Yui

Coming sometime: episode 4

Previous Episode

Yui’s epic journey to acquire a guitar. In this episode, we learn that the members of the Lite music club all share a very high degree of incompetence. Also, the possess the female equivalent to bromance (Problem is, bro doesn’t have a feminine term, so it causes problems)

Anyhoo, this episode revolves around the fact that the band’s main guitarist is lacking in a guitair. The band must then battle their shared Attention deficit disorder in a attempt to acquire one. Upon shopping, they all realize they are too broke to get a decent guitar. To top it all off, they have no applicable job skills. Alas, they manage to find a job, that involves little skill at all, but competes with their group ADD.

Wasn’t as interesting as the first episode, but was definitely packed with lots of moe. I hope that the group gets their band together, because the opening and ending credits seem to imply more rock than has been shown. Next episode overview will be up…..

Anime in Focus: K-ON episode 1

Alright, I’m starting a new section in this blog called Anime in Focus (as per the title).

In this section, I’ll watch an episode from an anime and post my thoughts about it, giving readers an idea of what I think before I review an actual series as a whole. Also, it lets you feel like you’re watching an anime with me…. Kinda.

Today I’m discussing episode 1 of K-ON, an anime I thought seemed pretty cool, but the rest of my local anime club didn’t like it. Hence, I’m watching it without those guys.

Episode 1 introduces the main cast, a group of high school girls who are trying to organize a club, trying to join a club, and one that is just bored and aimless. Despite having very little musical talent between them, they decide to form a band, because of a promise one made to the other.

Overall, I’m more interested in it than the rest of the anime club at my school, on the simple principal that it combines Moe AND a Rock band. This is clearly a solid combination that needs to be explored, and I am quite interested in seeing what transpires between these characters.
