K-On!!'s latest episode made me felt that something was like missing in it, didnt have the hyped-up feel like the other episodes so far O.o

so Ton-chan, the tortoise officially "joins" the club and everyone was responsible for taking care of it. Even Mio managed to see the cuteness of it. Ritsu then suddenly screams out that she is sick of playing the drums and shows the rest the videos she got from Nodoka during their performances and everyone could see that Ritsu was always in the shadow and the spotlight was never on her since she was the drummer. She then decides to play the other instruments and have a change, starting off with the guitar. Azusa slowly teaches Ritsu the chords and corrects her posture, but she gave up in the end and then switched to the keyboard. So off she goes to play the different sounds that the keyboard can play and Yui somehow was able to "decipher" the sounds played by Ritsu into words which apparently fascinated Mugi that her keyboard can actually "speak". Mio sees that Ritsu was having fun with the keyboard and wanted to try it too which Ritsu then took the opportunity to play a eerie sound that spooked Mio. Mio later tells Ritsu that she does not want her to try out the bass as she only wants to play it and supports the rest from behind, away from the spotlight. Ritsu promises Mio not to touch the bass but Mio had said too much and was pretty much embarassed. Yui then tries to put herself into Ritsu's shoes but drumming on bowls at her own home and hopes to help Ritsu in her plight. In the next practise section, Yui thought of the many ways to help solve Ritsu's troubles by rearranging their positions in the band or to improve communication by turning around to look at Ritsu every now and then throughout a performance... which didn't really had the intended effect. Back at home, Ritsu then ponders about the time she had spend with her own drums and how happy she was when she got her 1st drum set and decides to stick with the drums after all as she really enjoys playing it. Mugi then announces that she had created a new song called Honey Sweet Tea Time after getting inspired by the "talking" keyboard Ritsu had showed her previously and Mio was in charged of writing the lyrics for the new song.

I guess the only nice "thing" to see from this episode was the creation of the new song (hopefully it'll be as great as the others) was a little disappointed in this episode though, didnt had the unique K-On!! feel there... small antics here and there did liven up the atmosphere, especially Ritsu's glaring forehead ._.

Ga Rei manga seems to be ending as well, although the once-a-month release was kinda sad ._. but the story has headed to the next climax which im hoping for a good end to it (which i believe that it will) ...
