I think the only thing that might pull up better numbers are the Evangelion movies/Advent Children/Totoro DVDs.
So I was thinking about this... how many girls do any of you know actually have hair that goes beyond waist length? I only know one. Like... of all the people in the world I know... one has hair that goes beyond waist length. It's just not manageable otherwise.
Admittedly that outlier has Godvia tier hair, so it's kind of weird. But Mio and Mugi have pretty bloody long hair.

I figured so, just didn't want to assume to much.
Don't forget Azusa, she has long hair too.
I do see some people with really long hair, but they tend to be younger people, but it's a shame, I love long hair.

It's not really that bad, I was just cherry-picking examples, but it is less classy than the anime.
The movie did a really good job of realistically making me feel as though I was watching a bunch of japanese students bumble through a western society, reminded me of all the times girls came to my school on exchange or whatever. (It was the japanese-spoken english... I have no idea how they're going to dub that, lol... will probably just ignore it)
Anyway, I watched through the rest of S2 last night. Seriously, it's really quite something how differently shot K-on is to other slice-of lifes, especially in S2. A lot of weird camera angles that nevertheless manage to contribute to something bittersweet and melancholic.
I guess I'll always be a sucker for a good graduation piece.

I... I... I love sushi!
I have similar praise for it in general, having just finished the first season only yesterday. Everyone jokes about nothing happens, but to the contrary, I think a surprising amount does occur. It's just that with a lack of any sort of real conflict, not much happens around the characters themselves, making it easy for people to label it as 'boring'.I think that just speaks as to why it does work so well, with it's characters defining the situations, rather than the opposite
I thought I had already posted it, but I expressed a similar sentiment much more effectively in that episode 14 review, so I'll dig that up when I'm sat in front of my computer.

The fact that the show has no major overarching conflict is what I love the most about the show. The show also makes the characters feel like they really are highschool kids just hanging out and having fun.

I'm listening to Sweet Bitter Beauty Song and it really is kind of a shitty song. :I I guess they had to balance out the awesomeness from Don't Say Lazy in the same disc.

The songs used in the show are usually better than any of the character image songs and such.
Though I love Girls in Wonderland.

The image songs sound like overdone studio crap. You may not like the brand of music HTT plays, but at least they managed to make the songs sound like amateur garage band shit and I love them for that.
edit: Yui singing sounds like a Chipette though. :I

I suppose that's one way to put it, lol. One of the things in the manga that they stress a lot more than they do in the anime is that they aren't very good.
And yeah, I don't get why they don't just let Mugi sing. You know, the one that originally wanted to join the choir club. Being busy playing the keyboard is a lousy excuse.
If I'm going to rate them based on singing voice, I'd go.
Mio>Nodoka>Mugi>Ritsu>Sawako>Jun>Azusa>Ui>Ui's Organ>>Yui.

Oh yes, that's an awesome song too. While on the subject of K-ON! music, my favorite song now has to be the credits song from the movie. So good.

Death Devil is far too awesome to only get two songs.

They're saving their ideas for the inevitable K-ON! prequel!
thats it, thats it, the review, THE review, the ultimate review.
youa fuckin genius bro
Weeaboooooooooooo
well, like, the Joker was gonna be impossible to top, the amount of hype after TDK was just insane. There was no way Rises was gonna live up to all that hype, especially since it had the job of ending the series as well, making it even harder to satisfy everyone's expectations.
now the K-on movie... was just 1 super long episode, it was exactly like the show and thats all the fans wanted, thats all it needed to be.
TIME FOR A HAIR FLOOFING
It's been so long I've forgotten what living the floofy life is like~

Well, it's not like Dark Knight Rises was all that great. While the K-ON! movie is like one of,or is, the best movie I have seen in a long time.

Watch Omae Umasou da na. One of the best anime and/or dinosaur movies.

We should watch that on PokeGAF. I was planning on watching it but then I forgot the name of it and then I asked AnimeGAF and I was reminded of the name but now I'm too lazy to watch it myself.
Also Ichiban Ippai is the best song in the K-on Movie (followed by
). The sidestep dance they do during that song totally moes me out.

The part that gets me is when Yui is pulling Azusa back and she lets go and turns around and goes "ahh"

I love dinosaurs, so I plan to. The little Ankylosaur is cute.
To bad it's sung by Yui.
If you notice during the opening they have a recreation of the points where Yui gets dragged into the club and Azusa gets "captured" by Ritsu.

So...
Is that good or mediocre?
It did better than any single volume of Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, I believe.
I guess this is the closest I'm ever going to get to a real avatar out of you, isn't it? I'm taking it. If you don't like it, draw me an avatar-ish avatar.
Azunyan tells it like it is. She doesn't sugar-coat shit.
Hnnnnnnnnngh
Heretic. Sweet Bitter Beauty Song is awesome. Repent and I may yet forgive you!
My favorite songs are No, Thank You! and Singing!, the ED2 from S2 and the movie respectively.

So I was thinking about watching this.
It's basically like MLP, right?
It's basically like MLP, right?
No. It's good.
its a group of girls and their day to day life, substitute magic and evil villains with Jpop and super moe and you got K-on.
'Do you watch anime?'
'Yeah, I like K-on a lot.'
'I meant, do you watch GOOD anime?'
Also I got my shirt today:

Eh, when MLP is a kid show that also appeals to an older audience, K-ON! is a seinen anime that also appeals to young girls, if that makes any sense... Essentially K-ON! is a show about regular cute girls doing cute things. It doesn't try to teach kids life lessons or anything like that.
I love the look of that shirt.Also I got my shirt today:
