I fly through the air with the greatest of ease!!!
This week there shall be no bad feelings or negative post. XD That’s because this week was a pretty awesome episode. I actually wasn’t expecting anything magical as it was another SUMMER CAMP episode. To be honest I was expecting to be bored. But I am here to say that all K-On!! fans should be happy with episode 12.
This week is brought to you by grocery shopping. Grocery shopping. The activity that sucks your wallet dry and you have little to show for it.
None of this fun police crap!
Episode Summary: Sawako warns her students that just because it is summer vacation it doesn’t mean they can go crazy and have tons of fun. So naturally Yui wants to plan another summer training camp. Mio is not really down for this trip as they are seniors and need to study. Azusa and Mio are further X_X when everyone meets at Yui’s house and it turns into video game playing time. While taking a break it becomes clear that some of the girls are more concerned about eating yummy food and going somewhere fun than actually practicing their music. Sawako randomly shows up and says she has six tickets to Summer Festival (an outdoor music festival thingy). Plans are made and soon off our heroes go. Yui surprises everyone by being FIRST at the train station and Sawako suffers from a hangover during the trip over. But they arrive at the Summer Festival area and Sawako recovers. She groups the club together and gets them ready for fun. That means setting up camp, getting their wristbands, and making fun of Mugi for wearing the wrong shoes.
I'm older than Sawako and watching her headbang hurt my head. :(
After the girls make fun of Sawako for having lame ass friends she explains the game plan and the basic layout. Mio is really gunho on seeing as much as possible and plans on running back and forth to the main stages. She also becomes really impressed with left handed guitar players. Yui is a combination of attentive and special. Mugi suffers a blow when her treat (that she has been looking forward to the entire time) is sold out but finds joy in bug spray and tents. Ritsu and Azusa are kinda just there. XD But all the girls enjoy the festival and jam out. After dinner Sawako goes to bed because she is old…or not use to head banging. The girls then lay in the grass listening to all the music. Yui becomes serious for a moment and while she thinks they are better than all the other bands wonders if they will be able to play like this in the future. THE END!
Any place is better than another summer beach trip!
First things first. THANK GOD FOR NO SUMMER CAMP! As much as the girls had fun at the beach in year one and year two with Azusa…what more was to be seen? We saw the fireworks, the beach scene, the slacking off. There was no need to have a part three of the exact same material. It probably would be necessary since they are a music club. But maybe an activity off screen or something. In any event I am happy that there was no beach/camp scene.
So since the girls couldn’t go on another summer beach retreat because I said so they did the next best thing. Concert time! XO This makes sense, to immerse yourself in a weekend full of music and the kind of lifestyle you want to be connected to. A group can’t improve if they only practice the same old songs every week. They need to listen to other groups and learn from them to grow as a band.
Look at the excitement!!!
Mugi!!!! XO Why must you suffer so?! Okay maybe you were a little gooberish by wearing fancy shoes to an outdoor concert area. But I do not think it was fair that your hopes and dreams were smashed upon the ground. From what I gather (since I am not a foodie and especially not a Japanese foodie) the food Mugi wanted was pretty mild and probably boring. I thought it was the food that was plopped in front of you and you cooked it yourself but I guess that is not the case.
The face of disappointment is almost too sad to look at.
How dare Mugi not get her treat! She was probably dreaming of it for days and her hopes were crushed. I really don’t care about Yui’s treat being sold out because Yui will eat anything. But my Mugi is a trooper. She had a moment of sadness and was like okay we can eat something else. Why do the writers enjoy torturing my Mugi?! XO
But poor Sawako. I thought she planned this trip for her girls but it turned out she was dissed by 5 people!!! X_X I can’t even imagine that. I can see one person flaking out but 5? That would make me cry. And the girls weren’t really that sympathetic to her situation. Don’t worry Sawako. I feel bad for you.
Have fun and let loose!
Besides the fact that Sawako has really crummy friends (whom I assume are her old band mates…) it was nice to see her having fun. I do feel bad for her when she has to pretend to be someone she isn’t at school. So when she was jammin away I was happy for her. I also enjoyed her little micromanaging of the event (even if the girls didn’t). Someone has to be in charge and that has to be the person who has been there before.
No. Do not want.
Although I can’t imagine sleeping on a hillside…
Fun Mio means no eyeballs but that's okay. I enjoyed her happy.
Mio…had fun this episode. I almost passed out from shock people. Mio is usually the one losing her mind because people are having fun. But this week….Mio was having a blast. And happy Mio is so fun to watch. Mio almost had a setback when she was in the midst of her first crowd. I thought she was going to go and hide in the tent. But she was just momentarily overwhelmed by all the people which is understandable. She recovered fast and was able to enjoy the concert. I loved Mugi having fun.
How can Yui be so deep yet so...special?!
Yui was all over the place with this episode. She was a goober planning a trip based on food. But she surprised everyone by not only being ON TIME but the first one at the train station. She had some moments with her motion sickness+ice cream=instant recovery and bringing up black people’s hair (seriously people, twice in one week X_X weird!!!). But at the end she became super serious without meaning to. I really believe she thinks their band is better than the ones they saw at the concert. But she did so in a way that wasn’t arrogant. And deep down I think Yui knows that these fun times might not be able to last and they must treasure them. It was just nice to see Yui having some awareness of what is going on in the real world and that she isn’t constantly thinking of unicorns.
While they were at a concert I really didn’t focus on the music. It was just hard to hear over the fun I guess. XD Back ground noise I suppose.
In conclusion this episode was pretty awesome. Even if poor Azusa got sun burnt again. The girls had fun antics and it was a learning experience. A trip with a purpose if you would. But Mugi….don’t bring your cute flats again to an outdoor concert. My poor girl.

This was a pretty pleasing episode: Nothing too serious, but enough for us to really enjoy the entire episode. Mugi was particularly adorable in her silliness; her not bringing proper footwear was sad though. I feel for her and her feet.
As for Sawa-sensei, I was kind of hopeing she'd meet a man there, haha. She's always saying she's alone and single....
blindability- I think after last week's hot mess anything would be enjoyable, even a part three to summer retreat land. But I think it is about time they went to see some kind of concert. Long over due.
Our poor Mugi. So clueless. And such a letdown when her treat was not there.
I feel bad that she is going on and on about being old! X_X Of course half of that is because I am older than her but still, 24 is not that old and she should be out having fun, not feeling sorry for herself. Maybe with that new car she can drive around town and meet a guy that way. But I am glad she had fun XD
