Spring 2009 Season TV Anime

[SimsHsia]

And so, K-ON! is complete, the whereabouts of whether they'll make it to Budokan in another series release (be it TV or OVA) is anyone's guess. For the series itself, it was a pretty average show, but I've seen a better music-genre series (Nodame Cantabile) where there's actually plot advancement and character goal achievement. If nothing else, K-ON! is your run-of-the-mill slice of life/music show. I have to say, for the last episode of this series, Ritsu looks better without her hairband on. I had to take a step back and say, "wait...is that Yui...no, different hair color, different house, etc. Er, new character? No wait, that looks like...ah! Ritsu."

As for the Haruhi series, episode 13 is the 2nd part for the Endless Eight story arc, with a 3rd part coming next week - certainly true to the arc's title of "Endless Eight". Thus, the schedule I made four posts up is incorrect. Something unforeseen like a three-part story arc definitely throws off the schedule, especially if you're guessing that there's only one story arc that occurs at the climax of the season.

EDIT: I've updated the possible schedule. From the previous, and now obsolete, schedule, the series still looks like it ends on the second week of October. The updated one will be as follows, below:

Note: the part of the schedule that is italicized and grayed out is predicted and may not be entirely correct. Please take the following information with a grain of salt.
