It's a K-On Monday Christmas!

 It's not often the stars align. Not only is it another fantastic K-On! Monday, but it's also Christmas! Merry Christmas everyone, hope you enjoyed it. Now on to K-On! So today I'll be posting a short little discussion post about season 1 episode 7 of K-On! titled Christmas! Fitting for today eh. 

The core theme of this episode is Yui and Yu's sisterhood. Their strong bond is shown throughout the episode. Starting with Yu reminiscing about past Christmases spent together. Then ends with both characters cherishing each other's gifts and company. Their bond here is unbreakable. While Yu is also shown, and told, to be a more reliable, hard-working sister. She is always quick to defend her airheaded older sibling. Which might just prove everyone's point. But that doesn't bother her, Yu just knows Yui's strength lies elsewhere. Yui's perseverance and care for others, her reaction to Yu passing the entrance exam for example. Is something Yu clearly looks up to. Which she'll point out to Azusa later. Both characters bring something to the table, they both need each other. Which is what all good sibling relationships are.

Some more thoughts

  • I never noticed the cushions Yui destroyed are on the stool when they're outside. I know she picks it up, but I love how it's already placed there. I always love those little details that make animated worlds real.
  • Ritsu coming prepared to pick on Mio
  • The start of, where the hell are Yui and Yu's parents. 
  • I love how Mugi turned down the trip to Hawaii, shows how she just wants to spend time with friends. Also shows her wealthy side.
  • If you think about it, Sawako is kinda of a perv. To be fair, she seems very drunk here and her boyfriend just broke up with her. However, she didn't have to bring that costume and chase Mio with it. 
  • How Yui spent her holiday is exactly how I wanna spend mine.

Their bond is on display right from the beginning.
