Yui was feeling creative someday and she decided to draw some random funny stories about the Keionbu. This is Ura-ON!!~ Imagine that a friends of yours badly drew short funny stories about your group of friends and then showed you and you laughed together, sometimes at the jokes, sometimes at the retardedness of the story and sometimes at the really bad drawings. I think that thinking of it as this will make it more enjoyable. Really, don't take it seriously! The intention is to be retarded fun! Maybe if you make sure to be in a retarded state of mind when watching this, you can enjoy itbetter.nnSo, having used enough the word 'retarded', let me summarize what is this.nThese extras are funny short episodes drawn in MS Paint-like artstyle. There is no storyline, each episode has its own random theme, for example, cooking, siblings, souvenirs, etc.nI think I just LOL'ed at the most of it, but I really laughed at some parts (episode 4 specially), and, well, badly drawn it is, but there are the characters you must know well being themselves together.nnI watched this because I wanted something light-hearted and funny like K-ON, so I'd recommend it to a K-ON fan also looking for this, even if only for the lulz.nn(This is my first review, so please be nice to me ;-;)

Story 10/10 Art 8/10 Sound 10/10 Characters 10/10 Enjoyment 10/10 If you feel sad after watching K-On! series, then this is the cure. This special is packed to the brim with silly and funny thing to make you feel better. Just turn your brain off and enjoy this little masterpiece. The story will take you to see what's inside HTT members mind. Almost all the episode is about imagining things, like some sort of What If. The artstyle is also a match with this kind of story, weird and crazy. But the thing that really catch my attention is the BGM. Its really really improving the atmosphere they have. Thecharacters personality is greatly drawn, like you can tell by just looking at their face. Overall this is a good laughing stock for you to consume. I watch this all in one go, and I laugh a lot. Every episode is enjoyable even with this weird artstyle, because the story is what make this good. So yeah, thats all I can say about this special. Thank you for reading my review.

Ok, here we go for the sixteenth time: Characters: -Principals: Only the silly side of each character is present here (5/7). -Secondary: They are not so present; at least they don't change so much (2/3). Logic: (Tolerance for being an absurd comedy). At least with a little effort you can understand what's going on (4/10). Entertainment (Personal):Some episodes were so funny I wanted more, others I didn't (7/10).nnThe basics in an anime:n-Animation: At least there's some movement, but I still will show no mercy (-1/2).n-Music: No new music as I expected (0/2).n-Vice: Typical of short comedy anime (2/2).n-Tag fulfillment: It's a comedy where you'd only laugh if you had too much broken humor (2/2).n-Ending: I'm being too pious by counting rap as a good ending (1/2).nnPlot Development (or initial premise):nIt's exactly what you'd expect from this without more (4/10).nnPersonal Reflection (Clearly personal):nThis is seen with my brain off, so I'm probably going to forget a lot of it here (0/10).nnComments:nEven if it matches MAL's score, I recommend watching this to those who are big K-on!! fans.nnFinal Score: 6.6.nnn(Note: Since I'm very tolerant of anime, my minimum score for all anime is currently 4).
