Together with Mio Akiyama on bass, Tsumugi Kotobuki on keyboard, and Ritsu Tainaka on drums, they're going to rock the school and someday make it to the Budokan! nao, if only they can just put down the snacks long enough to practice...

Contains episodes 1-4.

This was the last bit of news regarding the K-On! movie:

The premiere date of K-ON! Movie was announced at the live event "Come With Me!", held at Saitama Super Arena on February 20. The exact date is December 3, so everybody in Japan will have to wait till then and we unfortunate beings outside Japan will have to wait even longer. According to the words of the director, Yamada Takako, it will be an original story set while the main protagonists were still high-school students.

I wish they have it in asia T.T

It'll be even longer for us in the States. T_T Although if the upcoming North American DVD/Blue-Ray release of K-On! is successful, the dummies at Bandai will *hopefully* make the smart move and ship the movie here sooner for us to see. Supply and demand. MOAR RITSU FOR LUU! >O<

MORE RITSU AND MIO CRAZINESS!!!!!!!!!!

My two favorite popular videos featuring Ritsu x Mio. :)

I am currently watching the series and one thing to say about it:

CUTE.

They're so irresistably cute!!

I'm kinda loving Yui Hirasawa and Ritsu as of the moment.
For Yui Hirasawa:



and

Seriously, ya'll got NOTHING on Ritsu and her drumming skillz:







NOTHING!!!!

I second Luu!!! XD The only person who is on par with Ritsu is a girl called Senri Kawaguchi from Japan. HER DRUMMING ROCKS :'D

*catches breath*

THAT. FROG.

XDDDDDDDDDD

Senri-chan's drumming is really intense, holy shiit! This girl is really something, she captured the essence of little Ritsu~

Have any of you seen this?



Makes me laugh every time... The original episode is soo CUUUUTE!

Real life Ritsu is LOVE

I've seen that video before XD So FUNNEH O_O

I can haz Mio?

As some of you may know, I purchased the first North American DVD release of K-On! yesterday and watched it. I'm already familiar with the episodes, but I wanted to see how our old friends, Bandai, did with the English dub.

o_o I am shocked to say that everything was fine. I mean sure, there wasn't any work put into the menu screen (no animation!? HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING FROM MY OLD THREAD CONCERNING MAI-HIME/OTOME DVDS?!:

The laziness of Bandai's Mai-Otome DVDs ),

but the dubbing was actually not bad! Nobody sounded wrong, over the top (except for maybe
Stephanie Sheh's Yui) or drunk. It was a dub done pretty respectfully, I'm impressed. Looks like Bandai matured over the years. :)

The generic menu screen:



Mio love for me from episode 4, Training Camp!:

I don't think so, Singapore dubs never made it outside the TV ;__;.

Me neither. >_< I'm on the verge of another K-On! kick, especially when I get the second DVD volume. Watching the series on downloads was one thing, watching the series again on my big TV screen is a whole different experience. XD The series is better than I remember.

T_T

You guys make me wish they'd dub it here in the Philippines! Anyway, with the mighty power of contacting a channel network, I can! ^_^

I just can't move on with episode 4.. I haven't finished it yet!

The K-On! dub makes me happy. Probably because of Cristina Vee but...They did a good job from what I've heard so far, so I'm pretty content with the work on a whole. (Who I get to see at CTcon in two days! >w<)

*dies crying* ;A; I've never seen it on TV before!!! And I live in Singapore!!

*dies crying over and over*

XD Again, Bandai really turned things around for their anime dubbing. Cristina is a great choice for Mio Akiyama! Think of it this way, they COULD of hired Cheryl "Notski Kewga" McMaster again. O_O;;;

Seriously?? Do you have the channel Animax? My friends who live in Singapore told me that Animax dub is Spore dub.

Btw, Singapore-dubbed Digimon is da best lol (offtopic 83)
