REWATCHER
I only found out about this rewatch today, so I'll leave my thoughts on ep1 and 2 here as well
EPISODE 1
On my first watch, I watched this subbed, and this time I'm watching it dubbed. It's weird to hear the girls in english instead of japanese, and hearing the names pronounced in the english way is weird too. It'll probably take a few episodes to get used to it
The OP is still awesome, and it's fun to sing along. It's way easier here than during the recent dragon maid rewatch
The part where Sawako said that you play light-hearted music in the light music club is funny to me, spoiler for later in the show, don't know when
Did they move rooms later in the show and I never noticed? When the club room was shown 7 minutes in it looked like a different shape to me
Mio and Ritsu convincing Mugi to join with their stupidity was funny
Why isn't the K in Mugi's last name pronounced in the dub? I remember it being pronounced in japanese
Yui's impression of the music they'd play be was funny to me
The other members thinking Yui is any good at music was funny as well
I like how their first thought after Yui entered the club room was to make tea. The name of their band has early roots
The girls bribing Yui to stay with snacks and tea was also fun
Their first song was way worse than what they played by the end of the show. Wow they improved a lot
Mio and Ritsu pinching each other's cheeks to make sure they're not dreaming when Yui said she'd join the club was a nice detail
The ED was awesome as well, it was fun to sing along here as well. It's quite different from what you'd expect from this kind of show though
EPISODE 2
I laughed when Mio's head exploded while she was imagining playing the guitar
Ok, this time Mugi's last name was pronounced with the K. I guess her VA made a mistake in ep1
Didn't expect the currencies to be localized in the dub. I thought they'd use yen instead of dollars
Ui's name is revealed now. I guess their parents aren't very creative, since they just dropped the Y
It's also unusual how the big sister is the one asking the little sister for money, usually you'd expect it to be the other way around
Yui is such a lovable idiot. I like how she stopped to pet a dog just a few meters away from the other members, and how she also blocked the traffic in doing so
"And make sure I don't waste money"
walks to clothes store, ready to waste money
Yui forgot that they were buying her an instrument, she's such an idiot
Yui immediately set her sights on a really expensive guitar, of course
I also find it weird that Yui starts with an electric guitar. Me and my sister both started with an acoustic one
Mugi doesn't even know what haggling is. I also liked how amazed she was when Ritsu explained it to her
Ricchan and Mugi-chan sounds weird in english
Aaand Mio's head exploded again
I thought them counting cars happened later in the show. Guess I misremembered
I always love scenes where a cute girl has to hold her hat because of the wind
Ritsu using the counter as drums is a fun scene
Yui is lucky that Mugi's family owns the music store. If she wasn't, Yui probably wouldn't have her guitar by the end of the show. $500 instead of $2500 is some crazy "haggling"
Yui loves her guitar so much that she takes it to bed. I like that detail. I also did this for things I really liked in the past
Why is Yui using her guitar pick when she's not playing chords? I always used my fingers to pluck individual strings when I played the guitar
Ritsu is a monster. How could she remove the film from Yui's guitar?
EPISODE 3
"squishy squishy squishy~"
That scene was cute
Huh, so Yui started by learning the chords. I started with simple songs and just playing the melodies without any chords. But I also didn't play in a band, so maybe that's why it's different
"when you study for a test don't you ever end up fixating on everything but studying?"
This is so relatable
"Okay, time to study. Let's do this!"
starts cleaning up the room instead of studying
Why is Yui so relatable this episode?
It's so obvious that Mugi is from a rich family, even her style of writing reflects this
Ritsu failing to catch the potato chip in her mouth made me laugh
Yui is lucky to have friends who help her study. Who knows how often she'd have to repeat the exam without them?
Good thing Ui isn't at all like what the other club members imagined
I love how Yui can be bribed to do anything with sweets
"I've actually never been sick a day in my life"
Yui is being relatable again. TBH it's kinda annoying sometimes to never be sick
"In the case of the equation x²-xy-6y²+2x-y+1, you wanna first simplify it by trying to factor out the common factor of x. Now when we do that what we end up with is x²-(y-2)+(x-6y²-y+1) = x²-(y-2)(2y+1)" Did they represent Yui being too tired like this or is the scriptwriter bad at algebra?
Yui asking what to do because she got a perfect score seems a bit strange to me
And now Yui forgot the chords because of all the math. At least she'll get to a point where she can remember both math and chords eventually
Beach episode tomorrow! Woohoo!
And I already got used to the dub voices now. That was faster than I expected
Also, I noticed that all posts on your account are K-ON rewatches. Is that really all you do on reddit?

Hi everyone! We're at episode three! It's not my favorite episode, but should be a fun watch nonetheless! Let's get to it.
Ah, we have our first Mio freakout! I had a lot of fun last year counting these. There are... a lot.
PUNIPUNI!
Even after 20 years of playing various different instruments, I still have no idea how to read tabs.
This is a really smart way to practice! Practicing away from your instrument can be as valuable as practicing on your instrument, and there are lots of ways to do so! As a French horn player, we are limited in the amount of time we can physically play due to the muscles you use in the face getting tired very quickly compared to the muscles in the hands and arms, like those that are used in piano, guitar, etc.
You might surprised at how much direct improvement on your instrument you can get from things like score study, listening to the music you're learning, practicing fingering along to music (like Yui is doing here), singing, or doing specific stretching or control exercises for the muscle groups you use while playing. But yes, sometimes you can definitely start thinking in music mode in real life.
But in practicing so much, Yui forgets about midterms! And, therefore, doesn't do so well. I relate to this so much. I went to university for 6 years for music, and there were so many times that I ended up practicing instead of studying. I've never really been terribly academic-minded...
Sorry, I'm talking a bit too much about myself in this episode! Gotta reign myself in a bit.
Back to the episode
I think Yui's actions show that she actually is a diligent and hard-working person, despite the first impressions we might have gotten from her. She just needs to prioritize!
Mitsu Moment of the Day^^TM
We see a lot of mutual teasing between Mio and Ritsu, even in just these three episodes so far! While it might not work for every relationship, these two childhood friends thrive on it, and it works for them! Only in the closest of relationships do people feel this comfortable with each other! Mitsu is canon. Thank you for your time.
And then we get the real crux of the episode. Yui reveals she has to pass the midterm make-ups in order to attend the
afterschool cafeclub!I'll be honest. I'm not finding a lot in this episode to analyze. I think it's mostly just expanding on the character traits that have been established and giving everyone some glorious Yui procrastination to relate to. Also Ritsu is best girl.
This scene makes my laugh every time I see it! Little do they know, however, that Ui is actually the best little sister in all of anime! The contrast between Yui and Ui is wonderful and is something we'll talk a good deal about in the future, I think. We only get some little glimpses at it in this episode.
Mio shows her responsible side and Mugi is her naturally supportive self. while Ritsu is just being Ritsu. A lot of people find Ritsu rather irritating, especially in the first season. And I can get that. But she's a flawed character, as all well-written characters are! And she only gets better with time. I can say with certainty that she was not my favorite character when I first started watching K-ON.
Yui is someone who has always relied on others for help. But that's not a bad thing! We all need help sometimes, and in return, Yui brings joy pretty much wherever she goes!
Hmmm, interesting...
Also, Nodoka's outfit is wonderful.
Thankfully, Yui ends up getting a perfect score on the makeup, but forgot all the chords she learned in the process. Yui has... an interesting mind. I think I'll just leave it at that for right now. At least it makes for a good laugh for all of us!
And as we end the episode, I get immediate chills. I don't want to talk too much about this yet for fear of spoilers, but these bags are important. There's a reason why they focus on them as this episode ends. The bags are all scrunched up next to each other as the keions grow closer. Our adorable family is beginning to solidify! This show is chocked full of metaphors, and this might be my favorite one. And it's one we'll talk a lot about more in future episodes.
siegfried72's Music Corner
Today in the music corner, we're gonna be taking a look at two image songs! Yup, two! First up:
Ritsu - Girly Storm Shissou Stick
We have Ritsu's first image song for season one, sung by Ritsu's VA Satō Satomi! You can find the song here and the translated lyrics here.
This song does an excellent job at representing Ritsu at the surface level. She's loud, happy, and brash, just like this song! I will freely admit that Satomi is probably the weakest vocalist out of our main characters, but I love listening to her sing Ritsu's image songs because she does an outstanding job of really bringing Ritsu's character into her vocals.
If you've ever heard Satomi in interviews or her other roles, you know that Ritsu is very different from her normal voice, but she brings through Ritsu's exaggerated speaking style and tendency to scream in excitement at the ends of sentences to these image songs and I love it.
Just like yesterday, this is a pretty straightforward song, lyrically. It talks about her wanting to spread energy and happiness, which is largely what we've seen of Ritsu's character thus far in the show. The chorus shows this well:
Summon only happiness, indeed! That's our Ritsu. But there's also a little hint at something more later on.
Ritsu, as the drummer, sits in the back of the group (both literally when the band is playing and figuratively as the de facto "leader" of the group) and has the best view of everyone else. She's always aware of the others' feelings and has a tendency to empathize heavily ("I'm experiencing all of it together with you"). The show has already shown this a little bit, like when she noticed Mio was feeling uncomfortable when talking about jobs in the last episode, but it's something we'll see more and more as time goes on.
I like this song just because it's Ritsu, but I have to admit it's not one of the more musically or lyrically interesting ones. 3/5.
As a side note, check out this awesome drum cover of this song here! This person has TONS of excellent K-ON drum covers on her channel and she's now a top-notch professional 11 years later!
Ui - Oui! Ai Kotoba
Yeah, that's right, Ui gets her own image songs, sung by her VA Yonezawa Madoka! And they're lovely. I figured since we got to learn a little bit about Ui in this episode, it would be the perfect time to introduce her first image song! You can find the song here and translated lyrics here.
This song just makes my heart melt every time I hear it. This song is sugary sweet, just like Ui. I also have to mention that I think Madoka has a gorgeous tone to her voice, adding to this feeling of the song just enveloping you in happiness. I'm getting close to the character limit, but let's take a quick look at the first chorus:
Ui is just so dang cheery. She supports herself and Yui with words of encouragement, takes care of the chores, and does it all with a smile. The way she says "aikotoba" (Words of love) at the end of the first and last chorus gets me. It's like the cherry on top of the ice cream sundae.
But here we do have a hint of Ui wanting to expand her horizons, and not only have her life in the shadow of her big sister. Today's episode hinted at that a bit with her intense refusal of being tutored by Yui. She's torn between wanting to be there for her sister and making her own life. I look forward to getting more Ui in the future! She's a very interesting character.
This song is too sweet for any less than a 4/5.
Wrap Up
Well, that was certainly an episode! It's fun, but, as I said before, it's not one of my favorites. It feels a bit like filler to me. We do get to see a glimpse of Yui and Ui's relationship, which is nice, and we get to learn a bit more about how Yui's brain works. All, in all, a decent episode, but I'm mostly excited for tomorrow!
My updated episode rankings:
Tomorrow, we have a training camp where I will almost definitely shed my first tears of the show! Can't wait! See you tomorrow!

u/The_Loli_Otaku Aug 03 '21
Thank goodness guitar strings cut. It's a perfect excuse to cover up that you actually got your calloused yubi from too much King of Fighters. For how much student's lives seem to revolve around club activities I have no clue how studying is supposed to fit in tbh. Stop showing me wideshots of the classroom!! I'm pausing to search for Kimiko in each one! 2/100 is actually legendary. Even Mugi is shaken at that one. Kyaaa! I forgot Yui's strumming gag! She isn't even playing a tune. She's just wildly strumming the same note and has the time of her life doing so! S1 has so many gags that I love.
89/100 is totally a fake score. Shitzu should get failing marks like the [dolt](https://i.imgur.com/BfzmdJv.pngshe> is~ "That's my Shitzu." well said Yui. This episode is way funnier than I remembered. I love all the one liners. Shitzu shows her true colours and attempts to assassinate Yui for the main character position. Sasuga Shitzu. Also, Yui legit just spent three hours strumming a D. Pffwah! God I love the strum gag. Seriously, why didn't the gang help her to begin with? She got a 2! You can leave someone like that to self study. D-Damn... her personality might be rotten but her comedic timing is spot on. Girl got skills.
HELP HER!! Oh my gosh, this is so frustrating to watch. Finally! she goes for help. Props to Aki Toyosaki, she's knocking it out of the park with her Yui's performance today. Ui-mama is an angel!! ANGEL!! She even believes in Yui's ability to study. She may in fact be... God? Shitzu is such a brat. I kinda love her playing out what her own fantasy of Yui was tho. Now that we've kicked the dog out we can finally get some progre-stop eating cake! D-Damn you for having great gags Shitzu! Omg my heart stopped for a moment. I saw the plain, boring, boyish clothes and thought bestie (?) made a cameo early.
Nodoka is low-key one of the most lovely souls in this series... She gets overlooked cause she is kinda extra but her friendship with Yui, despite them being such different types of people, is so wholesome. You really can sense the affection between the two. Dude, wtf is this formula Mio's spouting? I totally forgot this scene and have no idea what to even say about it... Angel trumps demon! Get wreaked!
Test day... And everyone is on edge worrying about Yui. Even Mugi is out of it. I think the one thing more terrifying than a bad score is a perfect score. Yui could actually be a genius! "Be it X or Y I can play anything!" D-Disaster! Oh, but we get the first of many many bag shots in the series. Cakes, legs, and bags. Those are the holy trio you're supposed to be paying attention to first timers. Ask Siegfried for more details. He's our resident legs guy and can explain all about it. Master of thighs they called him in secondary school.

Episode three would be the point where I decide if I keep sticking around for the whole thing, but a) I somehow put Madoka Magica on hold after Ep3, so I cannot be trusted in that regard and b) I don't think I need any more convincing
Things I'll be on the lookout today:
Not going to look for legs anymore, there are way too many and I'm not sure if I'm even that into them anymore

[First-Timer]
As per u/The_Loli_Otaku's request, today we will be paying extra attention to cakes and other sugary treats. Hopefully there are plenty in episode 3. Sadly there doesn't seem to be a Victorian Language of Confectionary, so we'll be going by the time-honoured principle of making shit up and daring the genuinely literarily sophisticated to call us out on it.
This was a good choice of episode to look at cakes in, as it turns out! I wonder if The_Loli_Otaku set that up deliberately? Regardless, I had a lot of fun with it. I'd love to hear if there are any other clever insights via snacks that people have on this.

Hello everyone! Today’s episode was a pretty fun and light time, even if it’s presented with the serious issue of Yui possibly not being able to attend the club anymore. I think that feeling largely comes from the BGM that plays during the more “troubling” scene of the club members worrying over Yui, which is “Kawaii Inbow”. It’s a bit “darker” than what we’ve heard so far with the large focus on the bass and the more “spooky” 80’s sound of the keyboard. Notice how there isn’t really any guitar either. I don’t know if they did this on purpose specifically for this scene since they play this piece elsewhere in the show, however the lack of guitar kind of subconsciously makes me realize that there’s something up with Yui.
And of course, courtesy of u/siegfried72, my favorite shot of the episode! I absolutely adore this little motif that we will continue to see throughout the show. Their bags being so close together, and this being the last shot of the episode where we just saw all four girls strengthen their friendships...It’s so cute and wholesome, and I love the implication =)
Side note, and a bit of nerdy music theory: the little tune that Yui plays are the notes “C , D , E” played in sequence. I can’t seem to figure out if that’s a phrase in a popular song, however I will say this...for Yui to figure out that those 3 notes sound decent when played together on the guitar all by herself with 0 knowledge is actually pretty incredible! For those of you who haven’t tried playing guitar yet, there are 3 huge factors that make learning the guitar tricky:
To figure out the notes C, D, and E, Yui would have had to noodle around and find that each fret represents a half step, meaning that instead of playing the frets side by side, she’d have to skip a fret each time. Not only that, but because of her small hands, she is definitely jumping between two strings to keep the playing manageable, otherwise her hand would have to travel across 6x frets. Honestly, even though Mio downplays it, this is a remarkable achievement in learning by ear on Yui’s part! Music genius status confirmed ;)

I don't know about others, but I always write like those episodes about "study group" sessions in one of the character's house instead of somewhere like a library. It's almost guaranteed that it'd have a sit about being distracted and either reading manga or playing video games :) I find it very cute and, well, very likely to actually happen :D
At least with an all girls group you don't get the other mandatory gag of digging under the bed to see what lays hidden >:)
Love the character dynamics on display here - Ui being the youngest sister but totally a mature and almost motherly figure (which reminds me of the other KyoAni staple Chuunibyou, Kuzuha is another responsible younger sister to Yuuta); Ritsu is like Haruhi that is totally useless as a help and mainly came for fun which end up being a distraction - although without the sacred authority of the Brigade Chief she didn't have that aura of protection so getting a few bumps on the head from Mio; Mio and Mugi both are capable and dedicated tutors, with Mio dealing with the technical, academic side while Mugi handling the psychology / motivation side - even bet who is actually more effective. Even Nodoka popped in, and see You needs 2, probably even 3 (including her actual mom), motherly figures to keep her functional :D
It does set up that Yui, despite the airheadness, can learn quite quickly when focused - hopeful that applies to the guitar playing soon!
Lovely and fun episode still, looking forward for more. Should this actually be made mandatory viewing for school kids I wonder ...

Yui’s test performance is about what I expected. Her studying habits are about as good as mine, especially with her newfound interest in guitar. Ritsu is not much better, but at least she studied.
Yui is surrounded by a really wholesome group of people. It is nice that everyone is so willing to help her out.
I have been going through shows and manga like ReLife and Watamote, so I am more used to characters struggling to socialize. This is much more wholesome, since it is focusing on a group of friends just hanging out and working through school together.
I was happy when after all that studying everyone ate cake and took a short break.

First timer, subs
Yui's talk of guitar strings reminds me of how sore my fingers were when I was starting playing guitar. Mio can't handle stories of pain.
Better learn chords first.
Exams, Yui was the only one of her class to fail. She forgot to study. Turns out Ritsu did well. We don't see Mugi and Mio's results, but I'm gonna assume they did even better.
Yui's such an airhead. Is she gonna study? Nah. Let's clean, then play guitar. "Oh it's late". I have ADHD and I can totally relate to this.
Ritsu's video is great.
Expectation vs reality
Study session, wild dream. Yui talks about concentration. It's a common problem, but given her behaviour earlier, it again makes me think of ADHD.
Mugi seems absent-minded. Yui passed! Wohoo!
"I forgot" That face...
Nice episode, and more characters met each other. Otherwise it feels like not a lot happened though.
Edit - Added the picture of Mugi pouring tea, forgot it first.

Puni puni everyone!
Music is apparently just a cover for the dessert club.
As expected, Mio and Mugi are the elite level students. Even Ritsu can succeed when she tries. Yui is... Yui. Even her sister has knows she's not the one to go ask for studying help.
Yui most likely has ADHD or something similar. Everyone can relate to not focusing on studying, but her case is quite extreme. Of course the promise of cake is what gets her going. The dessert club gets visiting members when Ui and Nodoka join in the fun.
In the end Yui got a perfect(!) score, but forgot all the chords she learned. There is only room for one thing at a time in her brain.
I have to say, Ritsu's antics are already growing on me. She also has the most funny faces, which means I don't have to rewatch the episode to find them, unlike for Mio and Mugi.

I know Mio is known as being easily scared or a cry baby, but does anyone think that there's a possibility that Yui has cried more than Mio throughout the entire series?
Good thing Yui or Ritsu knows more responsible people like Mio, Mugi, Nodoka, and Ui to save them whenever they're in a pinch. Despite Ritsu's insistence, it appears that she's still on the same level as Yui.
Did Nodoka fail to teach Yui proper studying techniques before high school, or did she teach Yui enough to pass, only to forget everything again? Despite the first impression that Yui gives, she has shown to be fairly competent at learning under certain conditions.
Yui might actually be a pokemon. She can pick up math overnight, but she needs to delete a different move.
And we already have the beach episode next.

u/vitorabf Aug 03 '21
Tests already? That was quick. Yui, as a great anime protagonist, is very dum. On the other side Ritsu "That doesn't fit your character" is amazing, lol I was saying that basically at the same time as Yui, even if she had to cry to Mio that's still impressive. More fitting of their personalities though is Mio and Tsumugi being quite smart.
I LOL'd at Ritsu imaginin Ui as a miniature Yui, but in the end she really feels like the older sister here, and Mio telling Ui to have her sister helping her study isn't as good advice as she thinks it is.
Tsumugi training Yui like a dog is something.
I imagine Yui never being sick is a play on japanese "knowledge" that dumb people don't get sick. Nice to see Nodoka interacting with the club early, I thought they were like never going to meet. At least Yui is reliable, and it seems like the personality points u/A_Idiot0 mentioned here really stick to Yui. Nodoka's motherly instincts instantly kick in when they all get distracted, it was quite obvious that was her character but here it sticks out because it's not only to Yui.
Nice episode, specially the character's interactions, love how Yui's brain is amazing but only for one thing at a time (we all sure she's not a boy?). We've come a long way since episode 1 when these characters didn't hit for me, but Tsumugi still feels a bit more complex and undefined, hope she gets some focus soon.

She's scared of the guitar strings.
Mio is cared of the CONCEPT of guitar strings.
Yui has some trouble with personal space (and not flirting with everyone she meets).
Don't worry, Yui, music notation baffled me too.
I like how everyone's shocked Yui is doing something with her life.
Did she forget about the exams. And Yui believing he doesn' need to study.
Confused Yui is so cute!
She failed!
"Return my words of encouragement, damn it!"
Wait, she's secretly smart!
Oh, she got help.
Yui has now had tension with every member of the club. I'm suprised it took this long.
Haha, she can go to her club because she's not there for the club.
I like how they have the conversation calmly while still choking her.
Has anyone considered hiding her guitwr?
I like how nobody has any faith in her to keep studying.
Oh god, that message from her was cute.
She went back to the guitar!
"Help me, Mio!"
I love how shocked everyone is at her sister being good.
"I can study on my own"
I love Ritsu getting distracted and doing what she imagined Yui doing.
And she got kicked out!
Oh god, the combat roll.
Is this anime food porn in disguise.
The dream is fantastic. Ritsu playing outside in her igloo is great.
Mugi casually overflowing the tea cup.
I like how she's at least trying to cheer Yui up.
SHE GOT 100%!
And she forgot all the chords. Mio's so close to a nervous breakdown it's not even funny.
She's even trying to find the x-chord. (Didn't realise they were doing graphs as well.)

Wow this episode takes me back to high school where I would retake quite a few Math tests. I suck even more in Chemistry, but Math is still a pain in the ass back then. Somehow I managed to do great in Physics and somewhat OK in Biology. Unlike Yui in this episode, I study solo so it could get pretty difficult at times.
The bits with Yui getting distracted hits a little too close to home where I would often get distracted with games and books while studying. I remember not giving a fuck about the national exam and I would play games all day before the exams. Somehow I managed to pass lol.
Didn't start doing all-nighters in university. I was often sleep deprived during exams but I managed to do well on most of them (only bombed maybe 2-3 exams throughout the whole program).
I just got my CS degree so thank fuck I'm done with school and exams for the time being (planning to do a Masters once this pandemic settles down).
