"It's Squirming About"
Whether intentional or not, there's a lot of mirroring between this sequel and the first season. It's almost like a homage or sorts given the two years in between, with this episode taking a page right out of the seventh episode then.

Vocation
After twenty weeks of K-ON and RAINBOW on Tuesdays, the two series are having an identity crisis all of a sudden. K-ON brought the emotion-filled tears with its take on the school festival, while RAINBOW brought the laughs with Kyabetsu's search for a job that suits him. What the heck!?

Wait hold on, okay. Not yet? No? How about now..? Still? What? NOW? OKAY! BEGIN TSUNA- wait, why does it look like crap?

"The School Festival Once Again!"
Alright, going above and beyond this time around. I have two insert videos along with lyrics to mark the long-awaited Houkago Tea Time performance at the school festival. We knew "U & I" was coming, but the other new song turned out to be "Gohan wa Okazu" (Rice is a Side Dish). No joke!

"MAYA's amigo"
It may have something to do with trying to catch up on shows at 3am on a weekday morning, but I was completely led astray this episode just like Maya was.

"Distant Story"
Gather around, it's story time! A lot of it wasn't really new story as far as the anime is concerned though, seeing as the discovery of the crashed spaceship on Kamikura Island after it mysteriously appeared in the Sea of Japan was mentioned back in episode seven of the first season.

DEAD night and the DEAD ruck
With morale low, and the others recuperating, what is team Takashi to do when they see a little girl about to be devoured? Why, save her of course!

#20
In terms of latent talent sitting right underneath their noses, Tatsumi didn't land nearly as big of a sleeper in Tsubaki as Dulfer did in Kubota (Yamanaka Masahiro).

(Dandan Ookiku Natteku wa / Tsuda-kun wa Booizu Rabu)
"It's Gradually Getting Bigger / Tsuda is Gay"
A beach episode involving only the student council and an unplanned overnight stop at an inn because Yokoshima-sensei decided to get wasted on beers. It probably goes without saying that it was a "brilliant" script that translated well on screen. This time, they remembered to throw in some fan-service too. Booyah!
