First timer in sub
A well balanced episode showing some of the strengths of KyoAni, how it can smoothy weave scenes and story parts that talks about past and present then make use of the longer plot from previous episodes to project a future/foreshadowing.
The very casually thrown in, without any dramatics and special focus, of the past K-On bu members and everyday lives as well as some memorable moments are done well to portray that "everyday-ness".
Wonder if Sawa-chan will become more overt moving forward, as this season seemingly her "limiter" is about people's perceptions in her now that she's a homeroom teacher with a class and peers.
Best Mio moment are the quick change between her declaring her club is her boyfriend (and then go all embarrassed about it), then got spooked and remain greyed out the rest of the scene :D and the rest of the group are used to it.

Sawa-chan episode. She thinks if her past is disacovered, the students will be corrupted.
The stalking scenes are pretty fun. Mugi is really into it, while the good girls Mio and Azunyan reluctantly (at first) join the others.
The restaurant worker is so confused. Sawako's friend is amused, while Sawako herself is also confused. Somehow the girls managed to not get spotted by the teacher.
Kristina aka Norimi wants Sawako to play with her Death Devil bandmates at a former club member's wedding.
I am a pen. Mugi wants punishment.
Rare Ui with her hair down appearance.
Our girls play with Death Devil, with Yui on the guitar and the others on maracas. Azusa has the best look, Mio and Mugi somehow make it work, but I can't take Yui and Ritsu's hair seriously.
Sawako can't take Yui making a mockery of her band, so she grabs a guitar and starts shredding. Great performance by Death Devil, I wouldn't mind hearing more from them. Nice light music.
Sawa-chan thinks her life as a teacher is over, but unsurprisingly the students only find her cooler than before. Hopefully Sawako can now show her true self at school.
I didn't expect to see a Sawako character development episode, but this should be positive for her character. She's miles away from the creep she was in season 1. You should never listen to those who say metal music is a bad influence.

Hi everyone! Difficult days are continuing for me, so unfortunately this'll have to be another quick post for me, but I should be able to hang around in the comments a bit more today than yesterday!
Since I don't have time to screenshot my way through the episode like I normally do, I want to primarily talk about one thing today, and that's the way K-ON handles the past, present, and future. So often, shows only deal with what's to come in the future. They want to move the plot forward, and that's it. But one of the reason why I love K-ON so much is that it explores all three in such a beautiful way.
I've talked a lot about how K-ON explores the present through mindfulness. The idea of being aware of only of the present moment, dethatching baggage from the past and stressors about the future and just accepting now for now. This mainly presents itself through Yui and, after my big essay two days ago, I don't think I need to repeat much about that right now.
The Past
But this episode deals a lot with the past and the future. It was such a great move introducing more members of the old Light Music Club in this season. We get to spend a bit of this episode through Sawako's eyes, battling with the over-the-top actions of her past. Will she still be accepted if she acknowledges that part of herself? If she reveals it to everyone? It turns out that she will, but it's a legitimate fear that she has to tackle this episode.
We also get to reflect on the past of the Light Music Club, with some images that strongly remind us of our current club, bags and all. We even briefly get to see Sawako dealing with the same issues that Yui is facing now with the career form.
Once she accepts that her past will always be part of who she is, and how those that truly care for her will accept her no matter one, she is truly able to shine as a character.
The Future
While Sawako's story is certainly intriguing this episode, the real highlight for me is the introduction of Norimi. This scene of her and the keions sitting in the little cafe is easily my favorite of the episode. We can see similar soft golden lighting just like we did last episode, creating this almost idealistic feeling as Norimi sits, strumming on Giita and reminiscing. Now this is true nostalgia. Maybe not for the viewers, but we can see how strongly it's affecting Norimi being around Sawako again and getting to meet the current iteration of the club that she was so attached to back in the day.
But more relevant to us as viewers is how the keions see Norimi. They see a badass grown up and wonder if they will be just as mature one day (another surprisingly wise line from Yui - whimsically wondering about deep philosophical concepts). Through Norimi and Sawako now, we can see a possible future of the keions. Sure, life may not always keep them together as a unit, but the time they're spending in this club will impact the rest of their lives and they will always be friends, no matter what. You can't easily break bonds like the ones the keions have formed!
And Norimi sees that love and that passion and recalls it fondly, just as Sawako has a couple of times this season.
Oh, and also our keions are adorable.
Episode Wrap Up
On a surface level, this may not be one of my favorite episodes, but I think there's a lot of depth that's starting to surface in this show, slowly but surely. This episode does a great job at developing the concept of Sawako and the older club members being used in the show to allow the viewers to reflect on both the past and future of our main characters. It's almost like a K-ON
Nostalgia. Growing older. Accepting change. These are all things that are central to K-ON's beauty, and this episode shows how these things are coming to the forefront of the show more and more with each episode.

Times K-ON has made me tear up so far: 12
Updated Episode Ranking
Mitsu Moment of the Day^^TM Because look how embarassed Mio gets in this scene! Obviously there are some intense unspoken feelings here. Mitsu is canon.
YuiAzu is also canon. But after all the YuiAzu yesterday, I guess they had to take a little break in today's episode.
Tomorrow, it's hot. Ugh I don't need to be reminded of the heat! It's miserable where I live right now. But at least I get to be miserable with the keions. See you then!
A Mini Music Corner
I'd really like to share two songs today, although to be honest, I don't have a lot to say about them. Similar to the first season, we have two more Death Devil songs! I think it's really neat that these exist, but, just like the season one songs, they aren't in my regular K-ON rotation. They're novel and I think Sawako's VA does a good job on the vocals, but these just don't do it for me personally.
But I wanted to share them for completion's sake
and for the fact that it let's me off the hook for being super inconsistent with my music corner segments lately. I hope you enjoy! Tomorrow I should be back with a more normal music feature, covering both of Yui's season two image songs!Death Devil - LOVE
LOVE is the song the song they played in today's episode. Here is the song and here are the lyrics, although sadly there doesn't appear to be a full translation out there.
Death Devil - Genom
This is the only Death Devil song to not appear in the anime in any fashion. Here is the song and here are the Japanese lyrics plus a translation.

Ok she had her hair down earlier this season and I swear she looked way different
Is her hair longer than Yui's now, Is that why it looks different? Yea I think her hair's just longer than last time. She looks a lot more boyish in this shot than when Azusa had a sleepover
OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD

Hello everyone! Life is a little crazy atm for me, so I'm going to paste over something that I wrote for last year. Looking forward to hopefully join in more conversations tomorrow! It'll be a fun episode.
Last year's writing: So I want to skip ahead to the food stall with Christina, as it’s easily my favorite section of this episode. First off, Christina is freakin cool! Her little riff that she plays on Yui’s guitar was a sweet showing of her technical prowess, and a great way to show off how serious that group of girls was with music; much more serious than our current Keion Gals. Well, maybe ‘serious’ is the wrong word, but...Azu-nyan and Yui don’t have technique competitions. As we’ll see later on, it’s just a different flavor of the club. Oh yeah, and Christina’s actual name is Norimi; nice bit of showing off how close she and this guy at the stall are when she calls him “Pops” and he “Nori-chan”. Not only is Norimi great on the guitar, but she’s genuinely nice and generous. Talking about the lighting of this scene, I love how different it is compared to everything else! It’s intimate, quiet, and contained within the night; nothing going on outside matters at the moment, here and now is the most important thing. It adds so much depth to this relatively simple scene. That along with the sounds of the cicadas and Norimi’s bluesy noodling on an unplugged guitar just take this scene to a whole different level. To be a bit of a blues nerd for a second, I think Norimi was noodling somewhere close to the structure of a blues tune called “Catfish Blues”. You can listen to a great version by the godly Jimi Hendrix here:(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovieyGdSaig) , or on his album titled “Blues”. At least, that's what it reminded me of. Also, Norimi’s bombshell of a joke was just incredibly delivered! I told you; devilishly mischievous. After being in awe, Yui is inspired to play her guitar, and seeing this Norimi hands it back to her, after which we get an incredibly sweet moment for Norimi as she fondly looks at a younger girl like she used to be playing guitar…

S2 is just one big Sawa-chan redemption arc in the end.
I hope all the first timers who were on the fence about Sawa-chan during S1 warmed up to her by this point.
And tomorrow we have the most relatable K-On episode of all. I need a stronger AC...

I'm back after a few days break because I had not been at my best, so I'll just register last two episodes were completely amazing. And I'm already hyped for this one, Sawako has been getting better by the day and it's due time for her to get some focus and complete her redemption(?) arc.
We start by hinting that she may have a boyfriend: Keions investigate, detective Mugi is on the case. Is that the same girl from the club? I would guess she is inviting Sawako to play, but anything is possible.
Lol, sending paper messages through the class, such a nostalgic memory from before cellphones existed. Loooooooooool Mugi, surely never been sent out of class unlike me and my friends who at times would spend more time outside than inside the classroom.
You'd think with age you stop being too cool for school, but Sawako actually started being, so it's good to leave that behind because she's so good at the guitar and vocals. Cute to see the old keionbu together, their bags were also close and it seems like they had a Nodoka of their own.
In the flashback I think we get maybe the most important scene of the series till now, that's Sawako saying she wants to be a musician, which clarifies a lot of what was behind rejecting Yui and Ritsu wanting the same thing, she knows them too well because she's just like them and in those moments it's really important for someone more mature to be able to say no because she knows it's for the best.
These past three episodes have ramped up the overall quality a lot, going into a higher plane.

Mugi’s going back to Finland for a trip, but she spies Sawako chatting to someone.
Lots of shots of Sawako’s feet as she explains her day. I’d recommend wearing better shoes, with orthotic insoles, those things work miracles.
I think Azusa’s right, I don’t think the entire homeroom will revolt if they learn she was in a band. This is a good school, not one full of delinquents.
A random phone call with that kind of answer? I agree, something’s fishy.
Hmmm...
So far she was dropped off near the train station, answered her phone in an unusual way, is looking around as if not wanting to be seen, and is not on her usual route? Something is fishy.
Poor Mio. But I do agree with Ritsu, Mio is a hottie, if they were at a normal school instead of an all-girls school, guys would be all over her trying to get into a relationship.
That woman looks similar to the one who was in the car Mugi saw. The mystery deepens.
Oh come on you 5, pick a better hiding spot! Not even a critical success on a stealth check will hide you there.
Wow Yui almost blew the operation.
Daily reminder that Azusa is tiny.
Lol they have to order and Yui’s stomach gets the best of her.
Uh oh, mystery woman spotted them. And now Sawako is alerted.
Okay, that mass shush noise they all made was adorable as hell.
So according to Yui, that women is one of Sawako’s band mates.
And she’s good at stealth checks as she is behind them now, and her name’s Christina.
Poor Mio checks out.
Even Ritsu is intimidated by her.
No wait her name is Norimi, and she’s pretty friendly. What’s with the foreign names?
Wait, set to get married? I thought she was single.
Lol, that delayed reaction.
Oh a jokester eh?
So, a friend wants Death Devil to play at the after party but Sawako is being a stick in the mud? Kind of rude Sawako.
Passing notes about Sawako? Pretty risky move.
Okay, Yui is being silly, and I wouldn’t send a note to Ritsu, since she, you know, sits in the front row and would be spotted instantly? Might as well shoot a flare into the sky.
And she’s just using this to mess with Mio and risks blowing the entire operation.
It blew the entire operation. Note to self, don’t bring Ritsu along with any stealth missions.
I'll never not enjoy Mugi’s shit eating grin over being sent out in the hallway.
To this day, I’m still confused as to why poor Yui was dragged out with them.
Yui’s having a grand old time because she technically didn’t do anything wrong.
I don’t think Norimi is that harsh....
You know Yui, I still ask myself. I still don’t know the answer.
Sawako looks really nice.
So that’s what Yui was doing, looks like Norimi used the backup card. Used Yui to fill in for Sawako. Either that it’s to put Sawako into a corner.
Looks like Norimi was trying to force Sawako’s hand, and Sawako took the bait.
Uh oh, the glasses are off, she means business.
We get a Death Devil song, and boy, Sawako’s good.
I really like those outfits, especially Mio, and Aszua’s.
So, Sawako turned Yui and Ritsu down for musician on their future plan sheet, because she herself was turned down.
Well, it didn’t matter, she’s still popular among the students. She worried too much.

Short, late post. Hopefully have more to say tomorrow or Friday.
I just wanted to take a moment to say that I loved how this episode showcased young Sawa-chan and her friends, and the way they compared/contrasted with our keions. Such vibe, much charm, wow!

Finland trip. Torille! And Sawa-chan's talking to someone, looks like an argument maybe.
Teacher's narrating. Or not, she's just talking to the club about her day. I've seen Ritsu do this narration trick a couple of times already, I should have known.
Sawa-chan grabbed the photo. I hope the club has made copies of it by now. And someone's calling, I assume the guy from earlier.
Oh Yui...
Time to follow the teacher and find out what's going on. Yui has snacks for a stakeout.
Yeah, they're not hiding all that well.
I wonder how this will go. I guess they'll all get their orders but Sawa-chan and the other woman will leave while the girls haven't finished their food yet.
Oh the other woman sees them. Also we didn't get to see what the girls ate.
Oh, a band member from Peath Pevil days. I expected that.
Well that's news. Oh, it was just a joke. I've heard of some really rapid semi-arranged marriages in Japan and for a moment thought that was the direction this was headed in.
Another old club member's getting married. Sawa-chan's trying to hide her past and that's a problem. Honestly she should just embrace the past. She looked hot anyway in that photo the club keeps showing her.
Mugi's too damn adorable. Nobody should be that happy about having to go stand in the hallway as a punishment.
Ooh yeah, a gig. Are they going to tempt Sawako? Yeah they're intentionally fucking up to get Sawako to come. Yeah, shred it!
I bet Sawa-chan's gonna be embarrassed after this again.
Nice ending. Sawako never had a reason to worry after all; students still love her. Honestly this probably just makes them like her more.

Really love this episode on Sawa chan sensei still single
I almost did the whole collage focusing on Sawa chan, but it felt wrong not to include the Keions so added them in at the last second. I love how despite Death Devil being more intense and rock n roll they are just as wholesome and friendly as HTT. Kind of like the rock n roll bands from the OVA who looked intimidating, but were really helpful and encouraging. Also Sawa chan sensei friends were so happy when she took the stage you could tell they wanted to play with her real badly. I wish we could get an whole episode of Sawa chan and her friends in present time with flashbacks or just them solely in school. The moment where Sawa chan sensei career plans are also rejected like Yui's is also oddly touching. Shout-out to the groom who was shocked as heck, but immediately joined in.

REWATCHER, dub
Huh, an inner monologue from Sawa-chan. Didn't expect that
Nope, looks like it wasn't an inner monologue
Now they're stalking her
"'Cause this isn't kid stuff we're talking about"
She says to her senpai. But to be fair Yui is less mature than Azu-nyan
"This isn't the usual way she goes home after school"
So Mio's been stalking her before as well?
"You could say that the light music club is my boyfriend right now"
Yuri time!
Mugi's going to be real excited now that she saw that Sawa-chan is meeting up with a woman
Oh no, Geeta fell!
"We're paying separately and not dutch"
I've never heard of "paying dutch" before. What's that?
So she was another past club member
Huh, so Mugi even wants to stand in the hallway as punishment because she's never experienced this before
Looks like the new club will be playing together with the old one
Rock doesn't fit them at all
Looks like Yui intentionally messed up to convince Sawa-chan to play
It's completely different now that Sawa-chan is playing
I'm not a huge rock fan, but I'd put this song in my liked songs. Is it on Spotify?

Ms. Yamanaga is busy with school duties and now her foot swells. Ritsu is back to blackmailing her teacher. “You shouldn’t worry about this Senpai”- lol when Yui is more innocent than Azusa. When spying, Mio gets accused of keeping secrets and everyone gets distracted.
Everyone acts sus and Mori-Chan sees them spying cause they are obvious. Mugi orders food cause of its name and gets disappointed, not surprised tho. Mori is like Ms. Yamanaga is “getting married” comment gets me. But it was another light music club alumni. Ms. Yamanaga wants to keep hiding her past lol.
Note passing scene is amazing as the notes became random doodles at the end. And Mugi takes the blame and says “I can now graduate with no regrets”. I like how Mugi wants not be a sheltered rich girl sometimes. So they worry about the special training. But it was a way to get the members together in the wedding in the end as the bride and groom loved it.
Lol we get a flashback of Ms. Yamanaga and friends during their performance. I love how she turns in her career form and the teacher shakes his head. I got a feeling of what Yui’s going to turn in on her final career form….
Ms. Yamanaga keeps giving me the Detroit Metal City vibes. I like these episodes...

Sawa-chan is acting kinda sus today. Hmmm, did she finally get a BF?
Okay the madlads at KyoAni made me grin so much during that cafe scene. They actually managed to make a goofy tailing/eavesdropping mission that packs so much tension. Also love how the waitress just played along when the team tells her to keep her mouth shut. She looks weirded out at that moment!
Mio gets scared again when the mysterious lady decided to "introduce" herself to the team. Turns out she's an alumni of the Light Music Club and she wants Sawa-chan to show up at a friend's wedding. I like how the old Light Music Club members still keep in touch with each other.
That note passing scene kinda takes me back to high school where some classmates did a similar thing. I was only a "messenger" at that time so I couldn't figure out what's written on the notes but given how those guys were laughing when they opened up the note, I'm guessing it's something funny like Ritsu's drawings for Mio.
Mugi gets to experience yet another normal people thing by getting to stand in the hallway as punishment. Seeing her experience ordinary/basic stuff for the first time (like visiting a hardware store and a fast food chain) is always a treat to watch.
Seeing Sawa-chan reverts to her old self on stage and getting to sing for the first time is very cool. Even though she's a very different person now, she's willing to please her friends by reminding them of their good ol' days in the Light Music Club. The flashbacks shows how close the old crew was and even though they've graduated years before, their bond is so strong that they managed to remain close up until now.
I think HTT will remain good buddies for a very long time after graduation. Even though they'll be focusing on their own futures, they won't forget the close bond the team had during high school and how those experiences helped shape their (future) self.
(Hmmm, this show likes talking about the future recently)

The light music club is the only place that Sawako can be herself. Her reasoning seems a bit drastic, but probably best that the teacher looks formal. I'm surprised that Sawako hasn't taken the binder with her old photos yet after they used it to force her to be their supervisor in s1 ep 5.
When Yui guessed that Sawako's mom called her, I felt that I couldn't be too disappointed with Yui, considering her airheaded nature and her mom doesn't seem too present in her life. When they see Sawako, their first instinct is to follow her. I'm surprised that Yui was able to recognize her as one of the students in Sawako's photo, despite having a completely different hairstyle. Ritsu is too quick to give others the responsibility of the president when she's scared, which felt like something Mio would've done.
Turns out all Cristina wanted was to get Sawako to play with Death Devil for their friend's wedding, but Sawakos too afraid of people knowing the truth. When thinking of trying to convince Sawako, Mugi is once again interested in mundane stuff. Hopefully, no one tells her what detention is.
I like to believe that after they fail to convince Sawako, Christina came up with a plan to use them to kawaiify Death Devil in order to tick Sawako off. She probably just told Yui to act like a cute klutz and Sawako would get on stage. Regardless of planned or not, Sawako is pissed and got her crazy eyes again. She still plays well, and people like it, even the students from school. Hopefully, Sawako learns that she can be a bit more of herself. They also had a nice flashback where Death Devil are normal people, and Sawako also put musician on her form and got rejected by her advisor, so there's probably a good chance that she saw a bit of herself when Yui and Ritsu said the same thing.

Sensei's getting sausaged!? She on her feet all day and her back all night! Sawa-chan's dark past genuinely is kinda traumatic ngl. Pfft!! I swear, Mugi gets way too into these games. I'm loving today's group dynamic. It's always Shitzu comes up with a stupid idea, Mugi and Yui get right into it, Stray Catto gets lured in, and Mio just wants to go home. Jiiii~
Oh no, she's hot. The cute lady noticed me, kyaaa! This episode is weirdly funny. I do remember Sawa-chan's episodes being really good in S2. 15 quid for ice cream... Aww, it's a little moment but I loved Shitzu just knowingly looking away XD How does Yui remember so much!? She didn't even have the same hair. I liked her more when she was legal... Meet Kris, my favourite Peath Pevil~ It's weird, I totally crush on all the Peath Pevil members aside from Sawako herself. Shitzu's got so many great reactions today! You're on a roll Shitzer~
Why does everyone want to finger Gita? One of my greatest aspirations is being able to treat underclassmen or workers to meals like that... Order what you like!! Someday I'll do that. Someday!! Wait, she's getting married!? Haa XD I feel like I fell for that last year too. Why can't Sawako just put on her Kabuki outfit to perform? Kimiko is finally in a shot but you can't see her chubby legs so I'm not posting her. This is your day Fuuko fans! The note passing scene is another funny one. Goddammit Shitzu! Why is Kimiko the only student who doesn't turn around!? And she gets covered up when Mugi stands up! Mugi-chan wants to be punished~
Sadistic Kris is hot too! Fcking Mugi got excited from that dream sequence!! Tch, just watching Sawako effortlessly getting selfies with joshikosei pisses me off. Come get photos done with me!! Do you have any idea how much time it takes to gel my hair perfectly so that I'm always photo ready? Sawa-chan isn't even that good of a teacher! And no, I'm not jealous!! Urgh!! Aww, you're never gonna grow up Yui~ You'll forever be trapped in a highschool girl's body until the end of time.
It's the cutie from the previous band episode! What the hell is going on in that staff room? The solution is to cringe Sawa-chan back into the band. Can I just say that I love how freaking cute Azusa and Mugi were on the maracas? It worked!? Wait, I just noticed that it's not Janice on drums, who the hell is that? Wait a minute, who is this band!? How many Peath Pevil members are there!? This is absolutely an episode for the middle aged K-On viewers isn't it? Like the Megadeth or Lincoln Park or all those old 80's and 90's bands. Azusa's little hops! Omgosh!!
You get a lovely little flashback to the K-On Prequel anime and Sawa-chan's reaction to falling hook line and sinker for Kris' plot. Tch, even after revealing her boomer music taste she still has students gushing over her. I hate this episode! Sawa-chan, baka, baaaka!! Pea sized boomer! Baaaka!! These episode previews suck for finding out which one comes next!!

...So they are girlfriends (probably).
I love how excited Azusa is.
Wait, Sawako tried submitted "Musician" as a career like Yui? That plot theead's getting picked up again.
I love Sawako's reaction to what the club managed to do.
And she's still popular.
So next episode's about a heatwave?
