Garnier Fructis bitchez! OH YOU MAD 'CAUSE MAH STYLIST BE STYLIN' MAH HAIR!"
“Oh drats, guess we’ll have to practice today”, said our fellow K-BEAVERS, but Sawako had even more bad news: they can’t eat snacks in the club room due to water construction. Our always-sunny K-ONERS saw this sippy-cup half full: “WE DON’T HAVE TO PRACTICE ANYMORE!” Unfortunately, Sawako forced them to practice anyway despite everyone’s (even other classmates and club groupies) wish to get rid of them.
"OH NO YOU DIDN'T lemme get summa dat Garnier Fructis gurl!!"
Their last opportunity was to rent a music studio, but as expected, they did not practice at all. Their Studio-Day was spent fixing their hair (hair-did) and eating snacks. Long story short, Ui caught the cold (she’s stupid) and it awakened Yui’s hidden ability to make a pun I’ve already made 1 year ago and the ability to create lyrics. The End.
"Yo gurl I be needin' dat Garnier Fructis, knaw mean? I got a damn Penguin all up in mah head ya hurd?... did I mention Yutaka Yamamoto pulled off my head?"
Impressions:
I’m glad the remainder of this episode was better than the first few minutes of budget-lack and QUALITY. Whenever Red-Glasses-Girl shows up, I can only assume the episode will suck (especially if she’s featured in the first few scenes), but later the budget mysteriously reappears and all is right with the BEAVERS. Speaking of ugly, BROWN BAGGERS ARE BACK!! I’m not sure if that one girl behind Fat Brown Bagger is the same Freckled Brown Bagger of the original pack, but I’ll take what I can get. I’ll take what I can bud-get. And you can get the budlight while we smoke some bigger cancer sticks (word…).
The store clerk scene was pretty reminiscent and cute. I too became tense during my first proof of identification interview (?). I thought, “wth is proof of identification? I DON’T HAVE ANY OF THAT”, but in a similar fashion, my friends told me school IDs are considered identification as well. Ah, good times. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who’s experienced that *crickeeeeeeeeeet* though my first time was somewhere around middle school, whereas these K-ONERS are seniors…
Last note: is holding your guitar with both straps on *BA DUM PSH* really that bad or stupid looking? Now that I think about it, I was also ridiculed for wearing my backpack with both straps on. I was told it looks “dorky”, but the one-shoulder method is too uncomfortable! Maybe I need more experience. Then again, I was the only kid using a backpack in middle/high school (everyone carried their books by hand). Backpacks are necessary to carry your DS and Yugioh cards! I can’t just hold those by hand!! Man, I had so many compartments, you’da think I was a whore, but enough sexism! This was a solid episode and Yamakan pulled off Ui’s head. The End.
♫ My music sooooooo loooooouuuuuud, I'm swangiiiiiiiin'! They hopin' dat dey gon' catch me ridin' dirtaaay!! ♫ - "Yui, that's enough." - "DJ ENUFF" - "ENOUGH I SAID!!!"

Man just when I think I had enough of this show, it keeps bringing me back. Laughed pretty hard to some of the antics in this episode especially when the Yui and the gang were coming up with names for their songs. I was caught off guard that Yui didn’t get sick, ( especially with her hangs turning yellow from eating too many oranges) but in fact Ui…I’m still get Yui and Ui name mixed up.
oh god, but I did enjoy Ritsu being girly.
SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLIES!!! Been busy this past week but I’m ready to get back on track!
The song titles were hilarious! Sometimes I tell myself, “Why haven’t I thought of Intense Giraffe or My Bag’s Stupid?” That’s some creativity they have there, though I wonder how they’ll make a song out of that…
Ritsu’s girly-girl actions were admittedly cute. I don’t like that puff-ball hair style she occasionally has, though. That and her yellow Laker’s jersey makes her look like a man, haha.
I don’t watch this show because it’s absolutely not my thing, but I love reading your writings on it.
Keep up the good work
You know you’re doing a good job reviewing when people who don’t watch the show read your reviews.
@ Grimmer: Thanks! It’s nice to have some long-time fans (I believe you occasionally commented on Super Forshizzle Kitten before I transferred to Sea Slugs). I think my anniversary is coming up soon :love:
@blindability: Ah shucks, you’re too kind! :blush:
I’m definitely glad that K-on’s back on form after a few duff episodes, with ep 18 being even better; hint, look forward to more brown bagger goodness – yay!
On the subject of bags (and possibly guitar cases?) I think it’s a universal rule that two shoulders = nerdy. I was always lazy and kept everything in my rucksack but still carried with one shoulder as the style dictated. Fashion > comfort and practicality. So I guess that means I was cool… or incredibly weak-willed
Anyway cool episode, a lot better than I thought one devoted to the light-music room being closed would ever be. The studio visit was great even if no actual music was played. It’s funny that what actually annoyed me in the first season (i.e. lack of music) doesn’t bother me at all now. I can totally relate to Azusa from the last ep now (gasp!), in that i’ve given up hoping for meaningful substance and just go with the flow.
Ultimately I took three things from this episode:
1) Sick Ui is a cute Ui
2) I was really disappointed that a stray basketball didn’t hit one of the K-oners (pref. Yui) in the face during the gym scene
3) We need more of Mio’s animal songs. How can anyone reject lyrics like, “chattering with the birds, in a forest that smalls of pastry”, “we dance, dance dance with the penguins” and “I want to be a racoon; take me away, Mr. Mandrill”. To think that we’ll never hear the steamy lyrics of Racoon’s Love Shower or Intense Giraffe. Guess the doujins will have to fill in the blanks.
None of these points speak fondly about my state of mind.
Loved loved LOVED episode 18 (that post should be up by now
)
Well, you’re cool in my book. The only problem is that my book has yet to find a publisher! *BA DUM PSH*… yeah… To this day, I still use the two-strap method. It’s okay ’cause Kabitzin thinks I’m cool, and that’s all that matters!
HEY HEY HEY, Ritsu I can understand, but Yui? We can’t cause anymore brain damage!
…yeah, that girl needs some help ;P
Wearing your backpack with two straps may land you with a “dork” or “nerd” label, but at least you won’t have uneven shoulders; plus storage for entertainment devices (whatever those may be) is always good.
It’s always a pleasure to read your reviews since we never seem to write about the same things even though we review the same show. …And whatever you write is always 100 times more fun than what I write, haha.
Well what can I say? I’m a slug!
and don’t be too hard on yourself. I’m actually quite jealous of your episodics because… well, let’s just say you’re a lot more professional than I am, and that’s something I’ve been trying to improve for a while. This will sound conceited, but I know how to entertain my audience. What I’m not familiar with is sounding professional, or rather, writing in a more professional manner. Probably not something of editorial-quality, but I still want to be more coherent. I noticed yours and Hanner’s posts are like that; they flow better than mine. I’d give up some of my weird antics for smarts anyday! ;P
I do enjoy your posts (along with Hanners :3) even though I don’t comment all the time. Maybe I’m shy :love: :love:
This happened to me once in a supermarket but before I could take out my ID, the checkout lady said nevermind and that I could have my beer. I asked WRRYYY she changed her mind and she said it was because I looked so happy about being asked for my proof of age that I must OLDFAG. Yeah, most people think I look older than I actually am.
YOU DRINK BEER?!?! H-h-how does it taste like? Please teach me, Grandpa-Sensei!
Oh ho! A compliment from a(n older?) woman?… Just how old are you anyways? Are we talkin’ Kabitzin old or SUUUUUUUUUPER old like Halfadeckshort? ;P
Once you start down the beer path, forever will it dominate your destiny.
Quite Old? Two years younger than Halfadeckshort.
Not sure, I’m in my early twenties and I still don’t like beer too much (actually anything bitter really isn’t up my alley). I feel like such a child sometimes.
Before it use to worry me (especially when I had 2-3 different forms of ID), wasn’t sure which one to show at certain situations.
@ Zyl: Looking younger than what you are has its down sides, take me for instance. I always have to show my ID every time I go to a liquor store, pub, or club. Its really annoying, especially when someone mistakes me for being someone’s child (when the person in question isn’t even my mother)…I guess eating right, and exercising regularly does have its bad points.
I take my beer with Kool-Aid and the occasional orange juice (jay kay, I don’t drink beer either… but if I did drink beer, that would be my combo!) I barely have to show ID for anything, and that’s mainly because I don’t buy liquor, go to clubs, etc. Heck, I’m still 20! Sure, I COULD drink it but I think it’s still too early for me. I can’t jeopardize my school studies!
@Zyl: So the age-train would look something like this (young -> old):
Hellomotto – J159 – Kabitzin – Epi (I think…) – Zyl – Halfadeckshort
…*giggly-kittens*
Keep at it, jetbird1126 – you’ll be the envy of everyone else in your peer group when you’re in your mid-30s!
@ J159
The train looks about right. *choo choo*
NO!!! MY TRAIN MY TRAIN-uhhh… I mean… we can share :love:
Lol@ first caption.
That stuff is actually good.
Thanks, I knew it would be a hit with the women demographic :love:
Garnier Fructis is superb! I steal my mom’s Garnier Fructis all the time! She gets pretty mad, though…
