K-ON 03-04: Training Days

snapshot20090427233411

Raise your hand if you wanted to trade places with Yui.

It’s been a rather brutal month as of late, I am glad I found work of sorts but that combined with a new exercise routine and Valkyria Chronicles is starting to take a toll, I have to manage my time better and hope fully this mass upload thing will cut down on time. That said I am really enjoying K-on. At least Yui is capable of having proficiency in a single task, though her skill at multi-tasking is wanting. I like how Mugi-chan found the ultimate motivator for Yui who seems to be a slow starter. It’s kind of funny how Ritsu started the ball rolling on all this and it is not Mio who is the band leader with Mugi-chan as the stalwart second in command. I am not sure if I am the only one who thought of gang signs when Yui started to use her chord hand posture. Still it’s kind of sad that Ui and Ritsu are still in the PS2 era. If nothing else I like seeing the excellent camaraderie of this four girl fire team, it is something that is sorely lacking these days. I hope next time Ritsu plans on making a dynamic entry that she brings an H&K MP5 to the party.

That won’t work on your teacher Yui…

Mio needs to learn a thing or two about training camp, if she wants to train then she has to pick a better venue that is essentially in the middle of no where there isn’t anything to do but train. Still I was a bit disappointed that there was a lack of three a day practices and up downs. I suppose though as a team building exercise it was successful though I fail to see the financial benefit of having a maid café for the school festivals since there seems to be a lack of high school boys who would line up like a bunch of suckers but I won’t deny it is a great idea in principle. I can understand Mio being squeamish about blood and gore, but barnacles? It must have been some trauma. I like Mugi-chan for striving for perfection in everything including sandcastles. I think Yui has stage presence though I am really hoping that at some point we will see them playing together as a band.

Ah yes Algebra the bane of Freshman everywhere…

snapshot20090427233816

…Let’s keep her away from the knives.

snapshot20090427233929

It seems Ritsu had a superior grasp of her schedule.

snapshot20090427234610

Siblings aren’t usually this similar, in fact differences can be vast and violent.

snapshot20090427234644

Poor Ui has to live in Yui’s shadow…

snapshot20090427234652

They want an imouto like Ui.

snapshot20090427234859

DO NOT EVER LET RITSU NEAR THE SHINY RED BUTTON.

snapshot20090427234946

Motivation in a box…

snapshot20090427234953

Amen to that Mio.

snapshot20090427235737

Mastery of one task at a time is all fine and good, now to teach this one something called multi-tasking…

snapshot20090427235828

We must make it second nature then…

snapshot20090428000441

Three a day practices I like that.

snapshot20090428000547

Ritsu…welcome to Mio’s Hour of Power, you will play drums until you are not linger tired and thirsty.

snapshot20090428000807

I like Jello too.

snapshot20090428001144

Cue kanjite-knight…BURN IT UP MUGI-CHAN!

snapshot20090428001237

Poor Mio is being compelled through peer pressure…

snapshot20090428001242

Well at least it wasn’t something really dangerous or criminal.

snapshot20090428001327

Look at it this way at least no one else knows of how Mio proved her superiority over you once again…

snapshot20090428001346

At least they are being mature about this.

snapshot20090428001351

We will be perfect in every aspect of our lives. We will change the way we eat. We will change the way we play. We will change the way we make sand castles.

snapshot20090428001359

You know Mio those are probably already dead…

snapshot20090428001536

I love Mugi-chan’s hair.

snapshot20090428001816

We don’t need to be told that we we do that anyways…

snapshot20090428001835

Ritsu fantasy GET!

snapshot20090428001957

Yui likes pyro…

snapshot20090428001956

Mugi-chan sees it…

snapshot20090428002013

Could this be…love perhaps?

snapshot20090428002021

Whew Yui didn’t smash her guitar.

snapshot20090428002131

Death Metal not your thing?

snapshot20090428002229

Mio doubles as the groups mascot.

snapshot20090428002222

We’ll have work on Mio being Oberst and leading her troops.

snapshot20090428002232

Though this might be a leadership technique to compell compliance. to Mio’s will.

snapshot20090428002411

This was supposed to be training, not R&R…

snapshot20090428002555

Now I want to see Mugi-chan’s…you know for comparison…

    Lol at Kyoani characters. Ui looks exactly like Ushio

    cuteness overload without the exciting flow of storyline, I thought it’ll get better but… I think it’s the end for me.

    BTW, nice caps for the screencaps.

    *sings* “I wanna hold Mio’s hands…”

    From the beach episode, it is obvious that Mugi and Mio are superior to forehead-girl and chipmunk-girl in every respect… If they ever need to promote a live or a mix tape, all they need to do is to include a free gravure album, sales would be spectacular… :D

    A lack of high school boys who would line up like a bunch of suckers for the meido cafe? How about a bunch of high school girls who would line up like a bunch of suckers instead? :D

    Ahhh, <3 Mio – too bad she’s everyone’s favorite. :X

    Almost dropped this show when they confirmed Mio to having noticeable breasts.
