K-On S2 01-02: Tea Timing Girls

But Ritsu she’s your mandatory loli in your yuri harem…

While the K-On haet machine is starting to rankle people I still find this series to be oddly funny and rather relaxing. I don’t mind that it is moe-shit animu and not much is clicking with me that the other bloggers haven’t already called yet. If people can find that slut Yamada to be funny then there really is nothing wrong with finding Yui being Yui to be funny or better yet Ritsu being Ritsu. Still another season without tons of mecha is again upon us and perhaps the increasing appeal of K-On is just another symptom of withdrawal.

Looks like poor Azu-nyan is going to be all alone after the year ends but while the recruitment drive amounted to very little I am glad that the cast isn’t expanding to ridiculous levels given the general lack of depth this series has going for it. The first ep was characteristically uneventful as Yui displayed her love of shiny objects as her short attention span came to the fore. The second episode was in arguably superior as we got ponytail Mio, Dark Sawa-chan, at Ritsu’s hero routine.My complements to Sawako-sensei for her Ultimate Lazy for Mazinger Z attitude when it came to filling out her class roster. Not only are there fewer new names to remember but he charges Yui, Ritsu, Mugi, Mio, and Nodoka get to spend their senior year together. Looking at their store room was a painful reminder of how I need to clean up my room and the storage spaces at work. I am rather surprised that a Rich oujo-sama like Mugi-chan was into cleanliness but as they say cleanliness is next to godliness and hopefully Mugi-chan will be the goddess of ersatz Yuri this year. Ritsu’s greed was understandable and expected, but I was surprised at how greedy Mio and Azu-nyan were still I guess that Gordon Gekko’s greed is good spiel is still attractive today. I am all for getting indulgent when you are stinking rich, but there has to be better eats than those fat pills they got. Yui again shows off her no weight gain metabolism by being the worst offender of the lot with that Big Mac from hell.

If nothing else there is still Mugi-chan to make my day as she demonstrated her love of hardware stores which I can sympathize with given the organizer bins I splurged on today to better manage my crap. Even if I have no skills at building anything I confess being at Lowes makes me want to start a project. Yui being Ultimate Lazy for Cakey was disappointing if expected thank goodness Mugi is there to fill in the gaps. If nothing else watching K-On motivated me to do a little cleaning house of my own especially going over 60+ pots of GW paint I had lying on my desk since last month. It won’t be the best show of the season but at least there is some potential for implied yuri, which is also sorely lacking this year along with mecha…

I kind of wished that it was a Rocket Punch instead of a bag…

Mugi can barely contain her delight…

You cannot escape Nodoka…

Yes, yes Yui and Nodoka are now a yuri couple…

Killing Ritsu softly…

I for one welcome their now Sawako overlord…

So that’s what a megane Mio would look like.

Azu-nyan, President…FOR LIFE.

May you not be as insane as old Idi…

I wish she wore that pony tail more often…

Such is the fate of those who’s yuri wishes go unfulfilled…

Oh Ritsu…whispering sweet nothings into the ears of young women already?

Hey Ritsu…CROUCH FOR BETTER BALANCE.

I for one would not miss Yui…

If only they listened to Sawa-chan more often…

Sawa-chan would know because she’s seen a few fly right by…

Mugi-chan is the local Goddess of Mercy.

How well they know her…

Lazy oaf, bake it yourself…

Alright Pony-tail time…

That stuff might be older than all of them…

It’s a garage sale treasure…

Well her finger work hasn’t degraded over time…

Sawa-chan proves her superiority once again.

I wish she kept the chokers…

Because Zeus doesn’t like your Ultimate Lazy for Cakey attitude…

Oh be still my heart Mugi-chan wants to be a wrench wench…

I know the feeling I love the organizers they have at hard ware stores great for hobby stuff…

Lucky spoon…

Needs more Bomba, and Valkyries…Oh and avoid managers named Kaifun.

Mio isn’t cut out for money management…

Even rarer are the ones made out of tree cut from rain forests…

Good grief and I though the KFC Double Down was as bad as it gets…

Remeber Ritsu indulging on the cheap will not be good for your waste line…

That’s about 1086 USD…

I could get 2171 Jack in the Box Tacos with that…

Mugi-chan doesn’t understand how that is a lot of money…

I hereby declare Mugi-chan to be a Sea Bee…

Ui needs to bring down the hammer…

…Is that fear I see?

Yui is trying to get them all killed…

But what’s wrong with being fifty and that good looking?

Mio adds zeroes, Ritsu omits them…I guess opposites do attract.

Greed is good.

Must be for a tax write off.

Worst part is that she kept it…

Worse still it was the only honest thing she did…

Ritsu was a little late…

But her harem was ecstatic…

While Ritsu was enjoying her Pepper Paper Lunch I damn near choked on mine from laughter…

Sawa-chan finds Ritsu to be too cute…

So moe Ritsu died…

Guess whose next on the menu…

Looks like Gordon Gekko had it wrong.

Let’s take it up a notch and BIG BANG PUNCH her.

I feel so cheated…

A junior that can’t clean…

Looks like these two will make great parents.

    I never understood the hate for this show. Isn’t it just another slice-of-life comedy? Why is it that this particular show about a group of girls doing nothing incurs so much hate compared to other shows about a group of girls doing nothing? Do people hate it because it is so popular?

      I think it’s not so much that people hate the “slice-of-life” aspect of it, but more so of the “moe” aspect of it. It could be considered a cheap way of getting more people to watch your show I guess.

      I guess I would be considered one of those people that hate this show. The main reason for me is because it’s so irresistibly cute that you can’t stop watching it, but at the same time there’s absolutely no point to it and makes you feel like you just wasted 20 minutes.

      General consensus on the haet faction is that moe is the cancer that is killing anime, after all why make something non-moe when people toss money into the fiery pits of moe?

      That being said I have time to waste and don’t mind that it is what is.

    That’s a land, sea and air burger that Yui is eating.
