"I'm not eating it!! It's poisoned, remember?! Don't you read Mugi's tumblr?"
"Ah shucks, Mugi would never do that! See, I'll prove it to you! *ahem* Hey, SUGAR-TITS, make us some sandwiches why don'cha?!?! And lick our feet while your at it!!" - "Yes Yui right away Yui anything for you Yui this is a paid advertisement I love you Yui!" - "See? What I tell ya?"
It’s another big-toothed morning for our simple-minded Yui, and like all mornings for our young high school girls, they are spent getting their hair-did… for six hours. “Oh-NAAAYYY-chan!! You’re gonna be late for SCHOoOooOoOLL!!” shouted Ui who would also like her hair-did, but her low salary (background-character) would not allow it. At school, the senior K-ONERS contemplate on hairstyles for their senior photos. Being the girly-girls that they are, they prepare for the big day with a pink Pony Camera. It’ll die right after the warranty ends.
"These are the candidates for Mugi's replacement; I think we should go skinny this time."
“Aren’t my bangs too big?”, thought Ricky Martin Yui, and though the K-ONERS warned her otherwise, she cut her hair with a pair of shoes scissors. As she prepared for the final cut, she sneezed (and cut) a large portion of her bang. “DAYUM GURL U IS UGH-GLAY!!!”, thought the K-ONERS in their mind, but in real life they comforted Yui, saying sweet-nothings in her ear and feeding sweet-somethings in her stomach. Long story short, the senior photos turn out spinning splendid. The End.
Impressions:
You’d think an episode dedicated to girls’ getting their hair-did and being girly-girlies would be terrible, right? WRONG! This episode was The Amazingment! Enter-the-Tainment!! Excel-the-Lante’!! Absolute Stank Beaver, and part of that is through the use of silence (e.g. Yui fixing her hair, Yui’s blank stare, etc.). Like any Jap Studio, it’s only natural to take the laziest, most cost-efficient route, but KyoAni continue to animate through simplicity and style.
Being an avid K-ONER (aka: bearing through 34 episodes of K-ON), I was shocked by Yui’s self-consciousness. Heck, I thought she’d be the type to scratch her ass in public and sniff/lick her fingers to test out the funk, but that would be Mugi’s fetish, not Yui’s. I guess Yui can be (SEXIST STATEMENT) quite girly (/SEXIST STATEMENT) when she puts her mind to it. Speaking of putting, I’m hungry. *CRICKEEEEEEEEEEEEEET*
No nitpicks this time, but I would like to point out what appears to be the pre-evolution of Red-Glasses-Girl: No-Glasses-Girl. This is just like starter Pokemon (or babies for that matter): Cute at the beginning, Fugly at the end. Life is like wearing a different pair of scissors glasses everyday…
"So you’re Mugi’s replacement, huh... Not bad. In fact, I'll even lend you my old toothbrush."

Favourite scene: Ui surprises Asuza by changing into Yui’s hairstyle, glomping ‘Azunyan’ (no longer Asuza No.2) and said target protesting WRRYYYY she’s cosplaying her Onee~cha~n!!
Very pleasantly surprised at how they could make a thoroughly entertaining whole episode just around the premise of taking a photo for the school album. Oh, that thing about Mugi’s plot to build her yuri harem in that all-girls’ college of the future.
If I were Azusa, I’d smack the living daylights
saving timeout of Ui (in her Yui-hairstyle state, that is…). It’s scary how easily Ui can pull off a Yui… hmmm, sound kinky *CRICKET* yeah…Kyo-Ani are experts at making girly-girl scenes very appealing to male otaku. Maybe us tough macho men want to do each others’ hair some time, too. It could be our little secret! We don’t even have to tell Kabitzin!
Mugi? Who’s that? Must be some background character or something ;P
I know what you mean, it was a such a nice treat. At first I thought it was going to blow, but to see Yui act in such a girly manner (in the beginning) made me change my mind all too quickly. I didn’t know Yui cared about those things, especially since her hair seem like it goes down because of gravity instead of brushing/combing. That’s just how I saw her before.
Yes, Yui is super self conscious for a girl who’s… not self conscious in other things, but I sorta like that.
I hope she’s the type to skip a shower every once in a while, but that’s just my preference. Heh hehe…
