Looking dollfie in real life makes me wanna buy them. However, I heard that just adopting daughters cost at least £400. ;_; I hope I can see more dollfie more ^^

Fast cars -
if they are only Ita-sha which are anime cars. In addition, the translation of Ita-sha is painful cars which i will let you wonder why.

Last but not least, he talked about how is it important not to only learn Japanese and also other things if one
wants to be more than a english teacher.

However, we had to deal with this blue "death" projection T__T (a.k.a - the projector not working)
Also, I was kind of down that we didn't have question time to ask Danny ;__;

After the presentations we went to reception to mingle and got 4 business cards altogether. Also, it was fun making the cards.

People who attend -

Talked to about 4/5 new people ^_^ very very nice people.
Some of the people where not really into anime and figures which was quite surprising but they were interested into japanese culture.

Angel Beats! Ending Theme – Brave Song (TV Size Version) - Vocals: Tada Aoi

The meaning of this song is very very useful <3

Romaji TL
Itsumo hitori de aruiteta
Furikaeru to minna wa tooku
Mou nani mo kowakunai
Sou tsubuyaite miseru

Itsuka hito wa hitori ni natte
Omoide no naka ni ikiteku dake
Kodoku sae aishi waratterareru yori
Atashi wa tatakaun da
Namida nante misenain da

Romaji from - http://atashi.wordpress.com/2010/04/05/angel-beats-ending-theme-brave-song-tv-size-version/

ENGlish TL

Everyday I walk by myself
When I look back, everyone is faraway
"I am not afraid of anything now"
I try to whisper to myself

Someday everyone will become alone
And then they will just have to live alone in the memories
Rather than even being able to love and laugh at loneliness
I will fight
and I will not show my tears.

English tl -

2/3 are mine as for 1/3 took from the site above.

As usual our air head, Yui got the wrong time and came to school more earlier - exactly one hour that is! (LOL I would never do this... i would probably do the opposite)

Opening song -
Too fast... well it is than the one in season 1. Nevertheless, the sequence has nice images (?) such as Mio in glasses and more of Azusa featured ^^

[caption id="attachment_373" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Mio with glasses"][/caption]

The episode itself -
Yui, Mio, Ritsu, Mugi are seniors now and Azusa(-nyan) is junior. Moreover, this year all of the seniors are are in the same class. (lol good for Mio) and also Yui's childhood friend. Well it's thanks to their homeroom teacher, Sawa-chan.

After, the class and homeroom teacher introduction, they go down to the main school hall to sing the school anthem song. Then the K-on members decide to recruit new members as Azusa(-nyan) will be alone as others will graduate next year. However, it doesn't go well due to Yui's and Ritsu's plans.

Later, in the episode k-on members decide to continue with 5 members. However, Azusa(-nyan) decides to be more strict with Yui.

Ending song -

I prefer this song than the opening one since the lyrics seems more useful to me.

My opinion:
I will be watching more ep's of this season but better if season 1 is watched too if you guys out there want to watch this anime.

Ratings:
Story plot - 3.5/5 (4/5 of moeness if you consider it)
Sound - 4/5
Animation - 4/5
