K-On! is a show with very few peaks and valleys - it's just extremely consistent. Prior to this episode, it never really went above and beyond in my opinion, but this is the episode that changed that. The second season of K-On! covers a much shorter span of time than season 1. Season 1 consisted of mostly the biggest moments in the lives of these characters over a much longer amount of time. The 19 episodes that precede this one consist of various, relatively low impact activities and events that we see these characters involved in, so by the time we hit the first big moment, it feels so much more earned and satisfying.
The concert itself was super fun and enjoyable, and it was great to see the five girls just having the time of their lives together. It's a bittersweet moment when you remember that their time together is limited - something that universally hits close to home as we've all been in a similar situation where a good thing wasn't far from coming to an end. This is something the girls acknowledge too, in the most cathartic moment of the show thus far, when they all are stunned at how good of a show they just had and proceed to all start crying together when they realize how close they are to it all being over.
A truly phenomenal episode.
