I'M IN THIS SHOW! THAT IS ME!

My jaw just dropped when he walked through that door. This is the second time this happened to me. Unbelievable. Maybe racists are on to something when they say all black people look the same...

Nice 1st season, I gave it a GOOD rating on ANN. Its good to see there will be a season 2 based on the last scene.

They mixed it up a little this episode by putting the ED first, with High School Girls Are Funky, for some reason I had the feeling it would hapen, but the show actually said tht it did it, so it ruins some of the effect. There is hints of a sequel season, but they were really were having fun with trolling the audience, spoiler[I was actually surprised that there was a graduation segment when they were saying that they would never finish Highschool. Main trio say their goodbyes, pres and Ringo getting a long, glasses guy holds hands and conversation with litriture girl, that one got the present he should have. But the trigger came from a strangely familiar girl confessing to Tadakuni, I actually thought that it looked a bit like the girl in the mirror but that couldn't be right, then it is revealed it is, and the entire segment was a dream.]

I am not sure that there would be room to do another season with this one spanning so far time, they would have to swap in characters. I had fun at the segment of supposed High School Girls Are Funky: The Movie, which continued on with K-ON!'s movie idea, although the trailer spoiler[sudenly changes genre into being about a battle with cutest of three turning savage again.] The High School Girls are Funky were some of my favourite segments, I have a strange fondness for the loude who spent a lot of time being a hypocrite, and being loude for attention. But my favourite character was Ringo, who is an obvious throw at the anime girl, especially when those boys noted she apparently fits all the criteria for cute.

I definetly had more fun then I expected with this, didn't think a primarily boys slice of life could be this funny, with jokes often being around irony, but it is still able to surprise you. I should say something meaningfull now, but I can't think of anything.

Surprised

Could... it be? You're this guy?!

All in all, I had a lot of fun watching this show. I didn't intend to watch it but a friend convinced me to and I am glad that I gave it a try. I had a lot of laughs, most of the jokes were funny, and Lit. Girl was awesome. The character were fun too. Their interactions were, well, funny and exaggerated sometimes which made it more fun.

The only problem was that there wasn't enough Tadakuni and he was a main character. There was even a joke about that.

Also, it was awfully windy here in New York when the show ended yesterday. The wind must... I can't do it. I can't, the joke's too difficult.

Harts really should make a racist joke about the video EmbraceMe posted because it's taking all I got to resist the temptation. Laughing

I watched the first episode, it was okay. I like what they did with the girl in the wind. Hahah.

Love this show and the literary girl. The way the father reply to his son's ambition is totally priceless.
