I have to admit, it was a pretty emotional episode as the four girls are finally graduate and leaves their school behind for college. In addition, it was quite funny for Yui to hide the gift from Sawako to give for appreciation. This pretty much makes her worry about Yui a lot during the graduation ceremony. In the end, it seems that she loves the gift she receives from her students a lot.
As for Azusa, she has not gotten over the graduation anxiety and she broke down towards the end. Yui gives her some mementos (the four girls freshman picture and a five petal flower) to her. Afterwards, the four girls played a “thank you” song to Azusa with the four girls singing. It was one of the best songs in addition to U&I. It was emotional and a happy song that pretty much marks the happy continuation of the friendship even though Azusa still has a year left in high school. After they played the song, they do an encore and it sends happily ever after.
I have to admit; K-ON is probably the most emotionally happy comedy slice of life ever. Forget the haters, I enjoyed and liked it since it brought nostalgia when I was having fun with my friends in high school. It even surpasses Lucky Star over its random comedy. K-ON in my opinion shows the good and simplest things in life, friendship and living life to the fullest. It’s also fully evident in another familiar slice of life show. I’ll keep that a secret. :p
Next Episode: Time for Azusa to get some new recruits… Final Review will be written after I watched the second Extra Episode.
Verdict
10/10
Overall Rating
9.45/10, A, Masterpiece.

WE’LL BE FOREVER FRIENDS
agreed. :p
Aw, yes the song to Azunyan was so great 🙂
Yes, it is… and it cheered her up… 😛
I know it has to be an awesome anime when I was walking down the street the following day, remembering the song and feeling as if some dear friends of mine had actually left. An anime that manages to arouse these emotions deserves all my praise!
I do agree with that as what I said in my post… the show simply brings a lot of nostalgia for those who have gone through high school (as I still remember most of it)… and it works well.
I guess people have prejudice against a show that is all about friendship because it has moe. It’s a loss for them, I guess.
