(season 1) JP Blu-Ray box coming… also, I’m not dead<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><a href="http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/k-on/">TBS’ official K-ON! website</a> announced today the
upcoming release of a complete first season Blu-Ray box set for the fifth
anniversary of the TV anime. Per <a href="http://ultimatemegax.wordpress.com/">ultimatemegax</a>’ translation, it’s sounding like
quite the interesting release indeed:</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><a href="http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/k-on/index-j.html">Announced today</a>,

yen (w/tax)/ 26,000 yen (w/o tax) covering the first season.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Included in this
BD-Box are all 14 episodes on four BDs along with textless openings, textless
ending, all 7 Ura-On! episodes, a Toyosaki Aki interview from the AniChannel
K-On! feature, and commercial collection. Audio features include a bonus newly
made Raji-On! special audio CD, old cast/staff commentaries, and new audio
commentaries (Naoko's Room on episodes 8-12 with guests Toyosaki Aki, Yoko
Hikasa, Satomi Satou, Minako Kotobuki, and Ayana Taketatsu.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">

special calendar. The 5 discs will have new disc art and fit in a newly drawn
5-side digipak inside a newly drawn 3-sided box.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

the Toyosaki Aki interview.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Well – I’m excited. Not only does it appear this
release will include all the (on-disc) extras from the single volumes, there’s
also going to be some new stuff. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">And</i>
English subtitles. And for a damn good price, too (as far as Japanese anime
releases go). Just when I thought I owned enough copies of season 1, sigh…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">In other news, guess who hasn’t <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">K-ON!</i> blogged in over eight months? Me, that’s who!! I won’t bother
with excuses, nor can I say for sure that I’ll be posting with any great
frequency from now on (what can I say? My attention is focused elsewhere these
days), but I’ll try to check in a bit more often.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a good way of keeping track of interesting releases. After the English language
release of season 2, there hasn’t been much point in keeping it going, but now
there’s some interesting stuff on the horizon again…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The first episode not based on or incorporating
material from any manga chapter, and a fine episode it is. Some might want to
call it “filler”, but really – in an episodic slice-of-life series show with
little to no overarching plot, can any one episode really be regarded filler
more than any other? As far as I’m concerned, this is a contender for best
Ritsu episode. I love the scene where she recovers her passion for drumming,
and the flashbacks. Also, we get a rare look at a work-in-progress HTT song. We’ve
been shown before that Mio generally writes the lyrics, but this is the first
in-story confirmation that Mugi is the composer of the group.</span></div>

since Sentai announced the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">K-ON!</i>
Movie license, not the least of which is the announcement of the release date:
May 21<sup>st</sup> will see the release of the movie on Blu-Ray and DVD, with
SRPs at $39.98 and $29.98, respectively. Bonus features will include: Interviews,
K-ON's Anniversary, 1-2-3 K-ON!, Live Event, K-ON in London, trailer, teaser,
and clean opening/closing animation. The (possibly not final) cover has
surfaced as well, based on the Japanese regular edition’s cover. Credit goes to

their license of the movie for the UK market, and their intention to release it
on DVD and Blu-Ray later this year. They also implied that they are likely to
license season 2 of the TV anime. No word on whether UK fans can expect a
Blu-Ray release of the series.</span></div>

Sentai Filmworks finally
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/notes/sentai-filmworks/sentai-filmworks-licenses-k-on-the-movie/581492685211181">announced</a> today the fact that they have licensed <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“K-ON! The Movie”</i> and will release it “soon” – whatever “soon”
means. The film will be released through “digital outlets”, and on DVD and
Blu-Ray with “extensive extras” (which makes it sound to me like they are
actually including all or most of the original bonus features from the Japanese
release this time).</span></div>

English language dub produced by Bang Zoom Entertainment. While I’m not much of
a dub fan, personally, I am glad that the release will be consistent with the
TV series.</span></div>

2 are both obvious candidates, and in my opinion; both good episodes. And both
feature HTT performing with Mio on vocals, which is instant win right there!</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">A fine episode with a few decent laughs in it. The
funniest parts, to me, are Ritsu trying to eat the receipt and the gang’s
various reactions to suddenly getting their hands on a significant amount of
money. Otherwise, the only thing that particularly stands out about this
episode is the introduction of Ton-chan the turtle – the club’s “mascot”
character from this point on, I suppose, and one that never existed in the manga.</span></div>

the soon-to-be-broken New Year’s resolutions and I am reminded of the fact that
I have yet to accomplish everything I set out to do with this blog. One of my
main goals was to review every <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">K-ON!</i>
CD out there, old releases as well as new. I finished the first season’s batch
of CDs earlier this year, but never really got started on season 2 – so here I
am, easing back into things with a short review of the shortest of all <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">K-ON!</i> CDs: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Watashi no Koi wa Hotchkiss – Hanauta Yui</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

prize in a mail in contest in 2011 and was not sold in stores. Finding it on
online auctions isn’t particularly hard, but unused copies will cost a tad more
than one may usually want to pay for a CD – you’ll have to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">really</i> want it. Personally, being the crazy completist that I am, I
didn’t have too many misgivings about parting with a few thousand yen to
acquire it – even with the rather limited runtime.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-fareast-language: JA;">The CD features exactly one track: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Watashi
no Koi wa Hotchkiss: #1 “Kou san!” version</i>. The song, of course, is the one
first heard in the episode <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://konfan.blogspot.no/2011/12/watching-k-on-episode-6-school-festival.html">“School Festival!”</a></i> and subsequently on the first season’s <a href="http://konfan.blogspot.no/2011/11/cd-review-ho-kago-tea-time-mini-album.html">insert song album</a>. The
version heard here, as the track title indicates, is the one heard in the very
first scene of the season 2 episode <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://konfan.blogspot.no/2012/08/watching-k-on-episode-1-seniors.html">“Seniors!”</a></i>,
with Yui playing solo guitar while humming the melody.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Totaling 1 minute and 8 seconds – that is both the song and the CD – it’s
pretty much the same as in the actual episode, but with a slightly different
ending and with Yui’s voice more prominent in the mix. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hotchkiss</i> is one of my favorite songs from the first season, so
hearing it again – however briefly – is welcome, if expensive in this form.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">

buying for collection purposes? Hell, I’m certainly not the person to say no to
that.</span></div>

K-ON!” album or something released at the end of the franchise’s run, but I
never expected they’d release a 12 disc box set containing a whopping 258
tracks, which is what the official site <a href="http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/k-on/k-on_tv/news/news.html#201212211800">announced</a> today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

songs from both TV seasons as well as the movie, plus character songs as well
as – for the first time on CD – the versions from the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“K-ON! Ho-kago Live!!”</i> PSP/PS3 game.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

or any of the instrumentals. Nevertheless, it seems this box set will cover the
basics and then some, and at the relatively tolerable price tag of 19,800 yen
it sounds like quite a good deal for any fan who has yet to break their wallet collecting
every <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">K-ON!</i> CD in existence like a
sucker (unlike me, who will of course happily throw money at this release
regardless).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

what could be better than partying by means of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">K-ON!</i>? For this occasion, I can think of several appropriate
episodes, including <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://konfan.blogspot.no/2011/10/watching-k-on-episode-3-cram-session.html">“Cram Session!”</a></i>
and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://konfan.blogspot.no/2012/04/watching-k-on-episode-12-final-episode.html">“Light Music!”</a></i> from season 1, or
possibly <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“No Club Room!”</i> from season
2. Personally, I won’t be doing any partying as I forgot to take the day off
this year.</span></div>

the license of the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">K-ON!</i> movie for

the Japan Film Festival this December in Sydney and Melbourne, with a home

where you are? If so, good, because that means it’s Azusa’s birthday in your
part of the world. Now, there are many ways of celebrating the occasion for you
to choose from, of course – wearing cat ears to school/work, adding another red
Fender Mustang to your collection or what have you – but if it was me, I’d do
something simple like watching an Azusa-centric anime episode or two. Like,
say, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://konfan.blogspot.no/2012/02/watching-k-on-episode-9-new-club-member.html">“New Club Member!”</a></i> from season 1

(retitled <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“K-ON! Season 2”</i> for the

release featuring the remaining 14 episodes is here. In other words, one third
of the overall TV anime is contained on these two Blu-Ray discs, and in my
personal opinion the best part of the series, making it very important that
Sentai have treated it right. So – have they?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

yes. If you own the first volume, containing the first 13 episodes of the
season, or if you read my <a href="http://konfan.blogspot.no/2012/06/k-on-season-2-blu-ray-us-vs-jp-review.html">review</a> of it, you know what to expect from this
set. The discs are presented in a standard blue case, displaying the cover art
from the sixth of the Japanese volumes. Not surprisingly, there are no extra
physical goodies here besides the actual discs, but with a list price of
$69.68, it wouldn’t be fair to expect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

featuring label artwork of Ritsu taken from the Japanese volume 5, opens with
the typical FBI warning (not skippable), a trailer for animenetwork.com
(skippable) and finally the Sentai Filmworks logo before presenting us with the
main menu. The menu screen consists of the disc’s pop-up meny displayed over a
colorful background with the English <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">K-ON!</i>

label artwork of Mio taken from the Japanese volume 8. It opens with the FBI

features menu, we find clean (textless) versions of the opening and closing sequences
(<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“NO, Thank You!”</i> for the win!), disc
credits, as well as trailers for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“The

language options are English dubbed audio (default setting) and original
Japanese audio with English subtitles. Both audio options are presented in 2.0
stereo 24-bit lossless DTS-HD Master Audio, and sounds… just as it should. It’s
not the most flashy sound mix to begin with, but with a show like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">K-ON!!</i> that’s not particularly
surprising. I must confess I haven’t really watched the English dub – being the
card carrying dub hater that I am – but after sampling a few scenes throughout,
I have to say it seems like a relatively good dub. My viewing method of choice,
however, is original audio with subtitles. The subtitles here are yellow and
rather sizeable – a little too much so, in my opinion, but they get the job
done.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

in AVC-compressed 1080p. There are some slight occurrences of banding, but it’s
not too intrusive and certainly not as bad as the worst instances in season 1.
Overall, I don’t think the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">K-ON!</i> TV
anime has ever or will ever look better than it does here.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

release of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">K-ON!!</i> Season 2 may be low
on extras, but as far as quality is concerned it definitely gets a passing
grade from me. But what of those collectors who want those extras, even if they
cost an arm and a leg and come without any translation? There is one version to
turn to for that, of course, so here’s the obligatory look at the Japanese
editions containing roughly the same episodes as Sentai’s final volume.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the first four Japanese volumes in my review of the first half of the season,
which leaves volume 5 through 9 to look at now. The basic specs are the same as
before – three episodes per volume, still image featuring background art from the
series used as main menu background with <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Have
some tea?”</i> from the <a href="http://konfan.blogspot.no/2011/07/cd-review-k-on-original-soundtrack.html">season 1 OST</a> played over it, with one <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Uraon!!”</i> short per volume and two audio
commentaries per episode (cast commentary/staff commentary) being the main
on-disc bonus features. Additionally, the season’s second set of clean opening
and ending sequences is included on volume 7.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">stuff</i>. Each of the Japanese
volumes comes with a few additional physical goodies included in the Blu-Ray
case. In volume 5 we get a “filmstrip” style bookmark featuring Mugi, a black
guitar pick with a picture on Nodoka on one side and the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">K-ON!!</i> logo on the other, a set of six stickers of the silly photos
Ritsu and Mugi took in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Summer Training!”</i>,
and a little bio on two of their classmates, including fan favorite Ichigo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

volume 9 we find: The final filmstrip bookmark, featuring the HTT five laughing
together, a guitar pick with the HTT logo on it, three classmate bios and a
sticker that looks like the cover of the year book seen in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Visiting!”</i>. The accompanying poster, the last piece of the “puzzle”,

quite all. The final volume also comes with a box to hold all nine volumes of
season 2, much like the final volume of season 1 came with a box for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">those</i> seven volumes. It can be debated
whether these boxes are particularly pretty to look at, but at least they

see the HTT girls holding an emcee contest among themselves (volume 5), do

happily recommend the US release from Sentai. If you’re happy just getting the
actual episodes themselves, or are dependent on English translation, it serves
its purpose as well as can be expected. If, however, you want some extra bells
and whistles, don’t mind the lack of any translation from Japanese and can
afford to spend significantly more money – well, I don’t suppose there’s any reason
not to get the Japanese editions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

birthday. Ritsu Tainaka, everyone’s favorite drummer and club president. I’m
not really one to celebrate fictional birthdays, personally, but if you are and
are looking to do something fun in honor of the Great Forehead, why not watch a

on Ritsu?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

year starts, and the older four members of the Light Music Club are now in

I like the slightly tweaked
art style and the little step up in animation quality. The episode takes some
time to slow down and give us some nice moments such as the singing of the
school anthem, establishing the more relaxed pace of the second season. I also
enjoy the opening title sequence and song more than that of the first season.
The shot where the “camera” revolves around the girls in the club room as they
play their instruments is my favorite, but I love the smooth animation of the
entire sequence overall.</span></div>

“Watching K-On!” series of posts, which is something like part episode guide,
part episode reviews, having been finished for a few months now – and with the
second season being released in the US and elsewhere these days, two years
after the original airing in Japan – I think this is as good a time as any to
get started on <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Watching K-On!!”</i>.
There’s a lot to get through, with almost twice the amount of episodes compared
to season 1, and first episode out is of course episode 1 – <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Seniors!”</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

referring to season 2 by its original name – <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“K-On!!”</i> with the double “!!” – because calling it <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“K-On! Season 2”</i> every time would get

plan to, but I ended up taking the last month off from blogging. That’s not to
say I haven’t done anything worthwhile with my time – with the release of the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">K-On!</i> movie on Blu-Ray two weeks ago, I’ve
finally seen it. I won’t be reviewing that just yet, but I will say it was
glorious.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

exciting. Australia is getting season 2 in September (with the double “!!” in
the title intact, it seems) as well as a release of the complete first season
on Blu-Ray – the first such release anywhere, I believe. That’s good news for
region B people who have been waiting to pick up the first season.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
