Finished rewatching it in HD with subs. I won't say anything new about the movie itself, as it turns out I was able to understand almost everything from the raw anyway, so not much new for me. But... I saw in HD how much KyoAni failed at musical performance scenes :D

(spoiler due to lots of images)

Sorry about all that nitpicking, but myself being a wannabe musician, I'm kind of sensible to such things :D

But really, for a series which has music as one of the main themes, K-On! fails miserably at animating musical performances.

Actually, the only anime I've seen musical performances done right in, are Haruhi and Apollon...


I agree many fails! XD

BUT...

Another Live in London and Sawa-chan?! WOW

This movie is great. It's fun to have them back, still loving their music and the new songs are nice too. It's worth the wait. :D

that was a fun movie to watch, i was excited at the beginning because i thought they were finally gonna play a good song!


Now my question is: i watched the CoalGuys release (awesome job btw) and i heard that there was like a special edition with 40 extra minutes of video. Did their release include it?

This was just perfect. Loved every minute of it.

I laughed, cried, smiled, and loved it. Towards the end of the movie I got teary eyed since I didn't want it to end. I love these girls and the series!

10/10 for me. Then again, I rated the two seasons a 10 as well so I had no doubt this movie would be just as great.

If there really is a special edition with 40 extra minutes, CoalGuy's release wasn't it. That would make the movie 2 hours and 30 minutes but their release was only 1 hour 50m.

I'd love to see the extra though! Hopefully someone subs it.

Wasn't half of the second season of K-ON just filler? I mean, just like this movie I'm sure they could make it great. It's not like K-ON is a complicated series. KyoAni has shown they could still do a great job on their own without the source material.

Well man... Yeah that's maximum nitpicking.

1) about Mugis organ... I have NO idea what you are talking about. That being said I'm not saying you are wrong but that the 97% of people that watched this movie wont get it either. As far as "her hands being too small" thing i can tell you that my little niece is playing the piano and shes 5 years old. Compare her finger size with the piano buttons and yet she can play fine. So i don't think that's a problem.

2) I think it's an angle thing if you know what i mean. I dunno if it's on purpose or just fail :/ About the guitar chords i have no idea what you are talking about :/

3) About the mics. If you look on closely you will see that the mics cables are all going to the holes formed by 4 desks. That being said it gives the impression that they are plugged in a device under the desks? I dunno how mics work i have nothing to do with music sorry :/

4) Well about Yui and the mic you are right. They could have lowered her voice a bit or something. But still i consider it something trivial and not many people would spot it :/

Anyway, great movie overall. I really enjoyed it. It would be great to hopefully one day see a 3rd season of K-ON down the road. Only time will tell, we'll see.

I say, it was a very great movie. Afterschool Tea Time goodness packed in 1 hour and 50 minutes. I was able to listen to "Tenshi no Fureta yo!" once again in this movie and that song is excellent both in rhythm AND lyrics. :')

The ending song was amazing!

10/10 from me.

In the beginning of the movie. I thought Fuwa Fuwa Time as the ending closing song would be nice. Well they did, impressed.

Overall very satisfying movie, from the engrish, the songs, london hijinks and closing the K-ON! series. The people who are wishing for a sequel should be ashamed especially if you're a fan.

Why? The K-ON girls are always at their best with KyoAni in charge. This movie shows that KyoAni is far better at handling the Light Music Club girls than Kakifly is. I've read the manga and holy shit is it ever boring and monotonous. There's a reason that barely anybody read it at all before KyoAni made their adaptation. I'm not surprised that the two manga set after the main quartet's graduation got cancelled/finished early. And KyoAni would do a hell of a lot better at a K-ON: The College Years than kakifly did.

Of course it is! :D I was just pointing out some fails and inconsistencies. I don't think that the movie is bad because of that. I'm well aware that those issues are trivial and most people won't even spot them. Heck, even I found them only during the third watching of the movie, after looking really closely at 1080p video. So it doesn't affect my opinion about the movie in any way :)

It's just a pity that in all the KyoAni's attention to detail, carefully reproducing every (visual) nuance of the instruments, locations, and sometimes even clothing, they didn't put as much effort into making the video match the audio in performance scenes ;)

Also, if you want some explanation on things you said you have no idea what I am talking about... in the spoiler.

I don't see why should a fan be ashamed if they are hoping for a season 3. Everybody knows that there's still enough material for a third season. Im sure everybody want to see the college look of Mio, Ritsu, Yui and Mugi. Everybody are intrigue on what will happen to the Light Music Club after the four girls graduated.

I am forcing myself not to read the Manga because there's a huge possibility of a season three. So tell me, Why should we(fans) be ashamed?

I think his point is just that it already wrapped up perfectly and that there's no reason to continue it beyond this, especially when it's highly likely that the end product won't ever be able to match up to the standards set here with the movie. It's a beautiful ending and it might as well be impossible to ever match up to this again. We should be happy that they made the movie in the first place instead of just ending after the TV anime. Can't be asking for too much, right?

Still, every fan of the series definitely wants more material and I'm a part of that too. I'd only want it though if it was just as good as the second season.

I get the point. That is certainly very true... IF, the remaining material in the manga isn't better or as good as the previous one. You can actually apply that to other great Anime like Angel Beats, Steins;Gate, Madoka, Death Note, etc.. It will fit a lot more to these examples. That's because their main strength is their story. K-ON's focus isn't really the story but the comedy and music. Basically, Comedy > Music > Story in K-ON.

If KyoAni makes a season 3, Im sure a lot would be pleased. Yes, yes. You're right. They should only make one if they think that the season three will be as good or will be better than its prequels. I believe KyoAni could make another hit with a season three because I trust them.

Problem with remaining source material is that it's not as good. Ok there are funny moments but they would have to do two-way series:

The movie is pretty good. The ost and animation are great as expected.
The OP song has a nice feeling, it sounds like something come from Aria.
It could have been better though , i feel they didnt capitalize london to it's potensial , they could be anywhere and the story would be the same.
The Engrish are awesome , especially when improvising gohan wo okazu , can't stop laughing at that part.

i always wandering , do japanese really suck in english ?

The songs (besides one or two Engrish moments) were really the only parts I enjoyed. The rest, especially the 45 min that led up to the trip (how did it even take that long), was pretty dull.

Edit: If they were actually a hard rock/metal band, that would have been awesome.

Guys! There are a lot of comments I agree with.

Voice actors? Brilliant!

Comedy and sentimental scenes combined successfully? Check!

The fiction generally? Perfect. They travelled to England, and everything was well thought. Even the train station, airport, the plane inside, etc. I compared with real life experiences and travels I had, and it was just amazingly very very well done.

Sawa-chan was included just nice again.

And you girls got me crying despite my age...

I started K-ON! adventures overall 3 years ago, and now they graduated from HS while I graduated from college just a month ago. So sentimental...

ALSO:

I roughly checked the manga, there are 78 chapters in total. As some of you may know, it just ended last month. And I guess the anime parts altogether covered until chapter 52. Sooooo, there is a huge possibility for a Season 3 I think, or maybe OVAs.

Hope to see the girls again some time. ^_^

Thank you all!

It's not the adaptation of the source material I'm talking about because I know KyoAni will do just fine on it but great conclusion of the movie and series in general. A sequel will ruin all the emotion invested in the final episodes of tv series second season and the movie. Admittedly, I felt a little bit emotional in the final episodes of the second season. Not so much in the movie (though it's still there).

All good things must come to an end and this is the perfect time for K-ON! for that.
