K-ON Episode 1 Review

A very ordinary (clumsy! lazy!) girl, Hirasawa Yui is the main character of K-ON! Just turned into a highschool student, Yui decided to join a club for a change. It's hardly for her to join any clubs for having no interest at anything except sleep, eat, etc. 4 weeks had passed, still she hasn't decided on a club.
Akiyama Mio (Bassist) and Tainaka Ritso (Drummist) are bestfriends who swore to each other to create a band, though Ritso was the most into it. Mio tried to join the Literature club but Ritso torned her application (that's what a bestfriend do.. really!). Ritso forced Mio to join the Light Music Club, but its on a "To be dissolved" status for all members had graduated already. Yui encountered Ritso and Mio on the faculty room, and overheard about the club, though she was more busy being paranoid than think about it.
Ritso decided to revitalize the club, hooking Mio ofcourse. They managed to get one member who is also a music enthusiast, Sawako Yamanaka (Organist). The three of them brainstormed to get another member so that the club wont be dissolved. Luckily, Yui got curioused about the club thanks to the poster and tried to apply.
Even without experience in music, except that clumsily playing a castinet childhood memory, Yui joined the club. At first, everyone misunderstood about her music skills, but she managed to speak up. Everyone still accepted her as a member of the club just to save it from getting dissolved. Yui didn't mind about being accepted just to save the club, or she just doen't know how to think.

thoughts

This episode didn't really give me much excitement, except the parts where they performed for Yui and Yui speaking out about her zero experience on music.

Yui is an unbelievably clumsy girl, though she really is quite kawaii, but clumsily.. lol.. For Ritso, I find herthe leader of the band. She managed to hook Mio and and inspired Tsumugi about that fake promise of making a band. Mio kinda reminds me Yui on To-Love-Ru. They have similarities. Tsumugi is a rich chick, though very simple minded.

Overall, it was really good. Looking forward for the next ep, and oh yeah, love the Ed.
