K-On! Vol. 1 [Blu-ray]

Best anime

Its hard to not give this DVD a 1 star. While I've never taken myself for an uptight purest when it comes to anime (other than DBZ), I have to say this realease was bad.The voice acting was actually pretty damn good in my opinion. However, I feel that most of them end up sounding alike as you keep watching. Makes it tough to identify them as individuals. I feel they have more character in Japanese, because their voices are simply more unique and different from another. In this only Yui's voice is drastically different. Mio, Ritsu and Mugi all sound good, but nothing really unique.. especially between Mio and Mugi. I feel they were going too hard for a "soft" voice cast.All in all the dub is good and not my gripe. My gripe, is that in the first episode while performing for Yui to convince her to join K-on, Bandai changed the song. The original was Tsubasa Wo Kudasai cover, a legendary song all around the world. I understand it may have to do with license issues, but I'm sure they could've kept it if they were anything less than "lazy" in this production. I understand cutting such corners helps the wallet, and most English speakers may not be familiar with the song, but its a pretty big scene for fans of the series.Not to mention, other studios have had the song in their releases, no problems whatsoever. Like Evangelion 2.22, which has the song cover by Megumi as the final battle's theme.Honestly speaking, the Tsubasa wo Kudsasai cover in the first epsidoe is one of my favorite K-on moments, if not my favorite altogether. and it was the moment I was most looking forward to watching when I bought the DVD. Then it began, and I was shocked. The replacing song is not even attempting to sound similar either.. they could have at least took the original song and changed some notes to give you a familiar vibe.Although when Yui says "you guys aren't that good", the line feels much more fitting now that they put that terrible replacement song insert.

K-on! Volume 1 ReviewThe first volume of this show does give a nice and entertaining take on the manga by Kakifly.On Bluray the quality is stunning crisp and clear nice step up from the im sure great DVD resolution, I found the songs in the opening and closing to be fun and rather cute.Now comes to the meat to some fans, the English dub suites the needs well for those of us (myself included) who cant always look at the screen to read subtitles or a lack of know how to speak Japanese.While Yui's voice is a bit high at times it still works well, the VAs of Ritsu, Mio and Tsumugi DO fit their characters well. Some can argue that the voices `don't fit' and that it is fundamentally `better' in the original language. However do keep in mind the company didn't HAVE to bring this great series over.I have noticed they have chosen to go for American Dollars over Japanese Yen, Yui's Guitar cost250,000 Yen, yet Mio says $2,500, this isn't too large a deterrent however but a nice nod to those that can't get conversions.Overall however I am impressed with this anime, nice packaging good quality. If you're a fan of the original manga or just want something cute, give this a go.

I don't know to whom the show is supposed to be geared towards by description or intent. What I do know is that this is one of the only shows I can enjoy with my little girl. In the entire list of anime in my library this is one of the few that her and I can watch without me fearing for inappropriate content and adult humor popping on screen. It's funny and lighthearted and not boring, which is hard to find since pleasing adults and children is not an easy balance to pull.I can recommend this for parent who like anime and want something to watch with their kids. Its good enough that it can get other audiences but that's the reason I liked it.

Although I have no intention of counting one's chickens before they've hatched, at least I could say it's exactly a good thing that Bandai Ent. is finally launching this highly anticipated series on Blu-rays.The problem here is apparently someone messed up the Product Details above. It says only Japanese audio is available while it also saying this title is dubbed, and 66 minutes running time is too short to hold even three episodes.As I checked with the manufacture's web site, this title has English dub as well as the original Japanese audio with the English subs. It also says the volume #1 is to contain the first four episodes of the series.I gave 5 stars based upon that information. However, I still strongly recommend you to be cautious before you order this item (If it contains only three episodes, 4 stars at best).

Okay so this product comes with everything listed and it's quite all good stuff. I thought I was getting the whole first season because I didn't read carefully. It's just the first four episodes. The subtitles are an ugly yellow color and are positioned a bit strangely, but that is common for the blurays i have bought. If this is your first time seeing the show I recommend just watching it on 9anime where they have most of the episodes in 1080p, but if you love this show as much as i do then you want blurays for more sentimental reasons.

Laughs, squeals, and quiet enjoyment. K-ON! truly was enjoyable. The wacky characters were cute and funny enough to keep my attention in this slice-of-life anime. These four girls band together (literally) to keep the light music club from being disbanded, practice, and really rock! If you enjoy moe, giggles, and cute/rock music think about K-ON!The order came sooner than expected, no flaws, no problems.

It's very interesting for me to overlook them in music and school life.Heroin is very clumsy and out of concentration.But the taste of this anime very calls attention to me.It makes me at home..

Its in good condition, and a GREAT anime! I was a bit down, because it only has 4 episodes, but I still don’t regret this purchase. Has captions for the songs! It has extras on the disc.

これは面白い。見ていて楽しい。お勧めです。

BS-TBSの放送が始まってから知りました。コミックス2巻とも買いました。まんがタイムきららとCaratもチェックしました。ひだまりスケッチが楽しめる方なら、こちらもどうぞ。同じ出版社ですし、傾向も似ています。アニメは普通に面白いです。「萌え」は分かりませんが、キャラもかわいいです。バンドでドラムやってますが、日常の描写には特に気に障るところはありません。むしろ、たまにやるマジ演奏が光ってますね。まあ、アニメの設定に関しては、ちょっと部活でやるには楽器が高級すぎだろとツッコミを入れたくもありますが。しかしBlu-rayとはいえ、2話収録でこの価格は正直「ちょっとそれは・・」と。京アニブランドも「らきすたOVA」「ムントTV」あたりで首を傾げましたし。特定の会社で全てが良いわけでもありますまい。あと、BS-TBSでは16:9ですが、正確にはハイビジョン放送ではありません。HD制作の素材をSD変換し、それをまたアップコンバートして放送しています。商売のためとはいえ、手が込んでます。これでCLANNADのようにレンタル版は「4:3」とかだったら、ますます京アニから距離を置きたくなりそうです。

さすがBlu-ray、ここまで書き込まれていたか（特に背景）・・・というのがよくわかります＃これは「さすが京アニ」というべきかただ、数ヶ所でブロックノイズがはっきりわかりましたが・・・＃再生環境のせいの可能性もありますけれどお話的にはもう何も言うことはないでしょう特典的には・・・・ちょっとショボいかな（汗）そんなこんなで星四つ

中学までのほほ〜んと日々を過ごしていた主人公・平沢唯は高校入学を機に軽音部に入りギターを始めたのだった！女子高生軽音楽部アニメ「けいおん！」Blu-ray第1巻。部活の始動やバイトなど青春モノの色が強い２話を収録。まず、映像がとても綺麗で、丸みのあるキャラのアニメーションは非常にかわいらしい。全体的にはのんびりした癒し系の空気がありつつも、パロディネタやテンポの良い部分も多く、コミカルな王道の学園モノに仕上がっているという印象。何気にジーンと来る場面もある。特に第1話は総じてクオリティが高くて、すごく良かったと思う。「翼をください」のセッションシーンなどでの夕暮れの色合いが個人的にすごく好き。キャラクターとはちょっと質感の違った背景がまたいい味出してる。小物も多くて色々見逃せません。映像特典は、微妙だった。どっかの特集番組で使われたであろう短いインタビューが入ってるんだけど、内容以前にこれを特典にしてしまうのはどうだろうと、個人的には白けた。その分、スタッフのキャラ愛を感じるコメンタリーはなかなか興味深かった。キャストのコメンタリーも賑やかで楽しい。そしておまけの小物も、何よりパッケージがスタイリッシュですごく好きだ。それでも、想像よりボリューム薄でやはり高いかなと思う。そこまでこだわらない人はDVDでも十分かもしれない。あとは今後、音楽映像的な特典が欲しいところだ。とりあえず、Blu-rayでもDVDでも内容は素晴らしいことに変わりはない。買いです！
