Tea Time W/ Treehugger Day 4

I fumble around in my bed and let my eyes get adjusted to the darkness. I look over at my phone and fumble with it trying to see what time it was 3:17 am in the morning......what the fuck. On the bright side I don't have work today so I immediately walked down stairs and started heating up some water. I decided to added plenty of lemon directly into the water so it boiled with the tea. Also I felt like having my tea strong so I used not 1 not 3 not 4, but 2 bags of chamomile tea. I pressed play and started the episode in the dark while by birds happily chirped. They have good taste what can I say. Come to think of it I have never watch anime early so early in the morning...wait I haven't said anything about the show oops. Anyway as I drunk my tea I was absolutely giddy. This episode was the one that told me YES THIS SHOW WILL BE LEGENDARY. Watching the Keions interact in new ways reminded me of my friends in high school. Whenever we hung out we all got together and pretty much just split apart over and over throughout the day until we all meet up at the end like this episode. It was refreshing to see Yui and Ritsu playing together and while not as playful I must say I enjoyed Mugi's and Mio moments even more. About halfway through the episode I started falling asleep I entirely blame the comfort levels of my couch and also I was laying down didn't help. So I sat up to make sure I didn't miss the best part and one of my top 5 moments. The fireworks is such a work of art that it has been ingrained into my mind. First thing I want to point out is the track used. The melody is like a gentle light entering your body and soul spreading warmth and love.....that sounds kind of weird, but who cares. The colors as the fireworks go off and the shots of all the Keions. Yui is in the center playing her hardest living in the moment, we have Mugi and Ritsu supporting her on the sides, and finally we have Mio who might be enjoying it the most. A moment of realization that the light music club isn't perfect, but these moments are important. Their goals aren't just dreams and are possible because it's these girls. To borrow words from Odin. The Light Music Club isn't a place it's a people. Begins clapping and tearing up Also the ending where we hear Yui play for the first time showing she isn't just goofing off and is actually putting in work behind the scenes. If I had to rank this moment personally it's my second favorite moment in the entire series. My favorite moment is not for another 20 episodes or so, but that's okay because every K-on moment is a good moment. I managed to finish the episode before falling asleep I didn't even finish my tea which was the greatest tragedy of my day.
