K-On! Complete Series Collection [DVD]

This is what Kyoto Animation does best. (if you want plot you can read other reviews) It's easy for many to dismiss this as just moe rubbish about a whole load of nothing, and it does seem to be an anime that divides many fans, there are those who will do essays about just how good this show is, and then there are those who just don't see what those people see in K-On! I am firmly in the love it category of anime fans The animation is some of Kyoani's finest, there is an abundance of visual storytelling in this anime. The characters are where this anime shines, as this is slice of life it is all about the characters and they do not disappoint. This series and the second series (and film) is all about watching them grow as people, become close friends, overcome their own obstacles without becoming a teenage angst drama. The Light Music Club is the perfect mirror for this as they create a band and learn how to play, improve, find their role and place, overcome stage fright and performance worries and move into bigger performances and better things. Now don't let this anime fool you if you think this is about music and a band and you want to watch it for those reasons, yes the music is great, yes they are a band and they put on shows, but primarily this anime is about a group of friends who happen to be in a band, and they will often goof off and goof around, and it is more about those moments than any other, because as they themselves put it, the downtime and time spent messing around is just as important to them as is the time practicing. This anime is easy watching slice of life, it is fun, it will make you laugh and it will make you cry, it lets you feel like you know the cast, that you are part of the group of friends, if you love it you will watch it time and again, it is sublime.

Ive seen around 10 anime shows, this is my favourite so far, The show is basically about 4 girls that make a band, get on really well and eat a lot of cakes. The closest thing ive seen to it is Clannad, though k-on is not romance focused and it seems to have a lot more jokes, there is a lack of what I would call story development compared to most animes, but its not really important to me as the show is more about the characters personalities. I like all of the characters, they are all good in different ways, I feel I know them very well despite only seeing a couple of hours of the show. Yui the main character is highly adorable but Mio is the best, shes quite elegant, more sensible than the rest but also rather sensitive. If you've not seen anime before you might find this a little bit odd ( for example the Moe Moe Kyun part ) There is usually an english language version on the disk I recommend the japanese version as its the original. Watched the first episode yesturday though and noticed the subtitles are terrible ! one of the worst ive seen, the text is bright yellow and blocky/pixelated, it looks awful, and the translation, while accurate, doesn't convey the sentiment of the original words properly, its most likely been done by an american despite it being a european release, for example there is a part where mio is supposed to say 'she has no tempo', but its subtitled as 'what a spaz', this happens throughout, not just in one part. It will probably change peoples impression of the characters if they haven't seen the show already.

I love this series! So easy going, fun and extremely funny! The english Dub is superb! 10/10 I came across this series by mistake and it's one of the best mistakes I've ever made! xD All of the characters in this are cute and loveable! Especially Yui and Mugi :) I can relate to Yui in that she likes her food :P I don't want to give too much away incase anyone reading this hasn't watched it yet so I'll leave it at that. This Anime makes for a nice change in pace from the usual stuff I watch like Akira, Highschool of the Dead and Ghost in the Shell. This really is a unique series in my opinion, one of the cutest and I'd strongly suggest watching Season 2 and the Movie if you enjoy this first Season :) I hope this messy review helped you in some way :)

意外と英語版の声優が良かった。個人的に、常々思うのは、英語版の声優は、なんていうか、若々しさがなく、おまけに棒読みですが、K-ONの英語版の声優は良かったです。 こういうのを何て言うかは分かりませんが、感嘆詞？というのですかね。「あっ」とか「えーと」とか、なんていうか、、日本の、それにアニメでしか言わないような、このほのぼのとした響きが、英語版でも意外と再現されていました。 もちろん、「アウチ」とか「ウップス」「ワオー」とかそういう英語圏の言葉も出ていますが、それでも、アメリカアメリカしていない響きでした。 「えへへ」とか「ふわぁ」とか、アニメ的な言葉も少し表現されていました。 こ～う、日本のほのぼのと調和？した感じかな アニメのBGMとかピコんていうか擬音語が、意外と英語版の声優と調和していました。 まぁ、安いから買ったに過ぎなかったけれど、でも、英語版で見るのもありかなと思えました。

A entrega foi rápida e o produto correspondeu às minhas expectativas.

I love this series so of course it met my expectations.

K-ON beäugte ich von Beginn an eher skeptisch, eher als eine Art Mainstream Popstar-Anime der jedem gefällt, nur aus eben diesem Grund höchstwahrscheinlich nicht mir. Doch weit gefehlt. Nachdem ich die Chance bekam die ersten vier Folgen auf Deutsch zu sehen musste die komplette Serie her. Die Story glänzt geradezu mit viel Charme und vor allem Humor der sich aus den doch so alltäglich und einem irgendwie bekannten Alltagssituationen der Hauptfiguren ergibt. Dabei dreht sich die Geschichte im Wesentlichen nicht wirklich um die Musik, sondern eher um die Dynamik in der Gruppe und all die Besonderheiten ihrer Mitglieder. Es muss nicht Alles hart erkämpft werden, manchmal reicht es auch einfach nur die tollpatschige Schlafmütze von nebenan zu sein, um alle um sich herum in seinen Bann zu ziehen. Denn was die ganze Geschichte eigentlich voran treibt ist einzig und allein der Spaß an der Sache und kein überzogener Ehrgeiz, auch wenn es hier und da festgesteckte Ziele gibt. Da will man am liebsten mit in die Band einsteigen. Schade nur, dass gute Animes deutscher Anbieter immer ein kleines Vermögen kosten sollen. Gut, wenn man da der englischen Sprache mächtig ist und seine Lieblingstitel für einen winzigen Bruchteil des eigentlichen Preises kaufen kann (allein K-On kostet im Vergleich zum deutschen Angebot lediglich 1/5 in englischer Sprache). Ich bevorzuge die japanische "knuffige" Originalsynchro mit englischem Untertitel, welcher sehr leicht zu verstehen ist und auch für Otakus geeignet sein dürfte die nur mit Schulenglisch gesegnet sind. Ansonsten erklärt sich der Anime auch in Bild und Ton von allein. Da gibt es nichts falsch zu verstehen, aber dafür eine Menge zu lachen.

到着するまでに結構待ちました。 日本語音声になります、英語字幕は消せません。 字幕は気にならないので安く買えて良かったです。
