[ISM Flight 2 Anime]

K-ON! 3

Yui starts practising for her guitar but she does not know where to begin so Mio gives her a guidebook for her to try to memorise the chords of the guitar first. However Yui does not know how to read them and had Mio to teach her which got her fingers to move according to the chords even after club activities. Yui then learns from Nodoka that the midterms are coming and she has not studied for them yet. Apparently she did badly for the test as she did not study and had to do make-up exams soon after. Yui was practising her chords instead of studying and was shocked to see how well did the others scored. In the next session, Yui comes into the club and tells everyone that she was banned from coming to club activities until she passes her make-up exams which made everyone worried. If Yui did not do well for the make-up exam, the club will have only three person left which will cause the Light Music Club to be disbanded. Yui therefore promises that she will try her best to study. Throughout her studying period, Yui was constantly distracted to practise her guitar and ended up not studying at all due to a lack of concentration. Just the day before the make-up exam, she goes to look for Mio and the others who later go to her house to help her out. The three of them was shocked to see the character of Yui's sister as she was way more matured than Yui. While Mio was teaching Yui, Ritsu was just too bored and went fooling around and got herself kicked out by Mio. Tsumugi also motivates Yui with the cakes she brought to speed her up. Yui then went to dreamland halfway through studying and she imagines Ritsu leaving them in a house while she goes out to the snowstorm which makes Yui cry after she wakes up and puzzled the others. The day for the make-up exam arrives and Yui leaves the examination hall all blank-faced. The results was then released and a blank-faced Yui comes into the practise room and showed the others that she had aced the paper. Mio then test her knowledge of chords again but apparently she was so busy studying that she had forgotten all the chords again.

*seems that Yui still have a long way to go before she master the guitar and play as a whole band. hopefully the four of them get to play a song soon and it might be pretty soon since they are going to have a training camp in the next epi which might teach Yui some other song rather than the tune she always play. its amusing to see how easily Yui gets distracted during her studies... her sister seems to aim to go into the same school as Yui and that made me think that maybe she will join the Light Music Club as well and maybe take over Yui as the guitarist and changing Yui to the lead singer (heard from somewhere)...*

Shangri-La 2

Huge damages resulted from the aerial attack and many buildings had collapsed. The military retreated as well since they did not know who had attacked them and Kunihito suggests that they retreat for now. Meanwhile, Kuniko was in the debriefing for metal-age on the mysterious attack and Kuniko volunteered to go to the jungle and investigate since they had attacked their city, Duomo. Takehiko brings Momoko and Kuniko into the jungle with protective gears as the jungle had a high concentration of oxygen and they are in danger of getting infected. Meanwhile, the small girl who had previously had a contract with the foreign minister was talking to her collaborators and had her supercomputer, MEDUSA, to search for the next place where they have a huge carbon debt since they emit more carbon than their carbon credits. MEDUSA quickly finds it and hack into their system, resulting in money rolling in with the girl selling all their investments to that place. After she sees one of her collaborators talking about her parents, she quickly shuts off all conversations. Takehiko and the rest reach the jungle after they did another check on their equipments and started walking to the estimated launch site of the attack on Duomo. They were surprised to see the military there as well and Kunihito was the one who had found the gang. Momoko uses her whip and distracts him while Kuniko and her runs off and back into the tunnel where they went through to reach the jungle. However, Kuniko was unable to move properly in the protective suit and decides to talk it off and use the emergency filter. She then cuts off Kunihito's main air supply and asks him about why her dagger had resonated with his before deciding that he was a great soldier since he would not reveal anything that he knows. Kuniko tells him that it would be great if he would come to Duomo and join metal-age. After she returns the air supply to Kunihito, she runs back to Momoko to get back into her protective suit. The gang safely return to Duomo and a Altas Balloting begins yet again to decide who will go to Atlas and even members from metal-age anticipates the balloting as well.

*the carbon tax thing and the investments still confuses me... maybe i have to learn more about economy and shares and investments before i can truly understand what it means. at least now i understand that the jungle was created or made so as to provide more oxygen so that their stae will emit less carbon instead. Atlas was then some sort of a higher class city and people yearn to go there... kinda reminds me of the movie "The Island"...*
