That was a pretty good first episode, OP was good and I loved the ED. Good humor, enough moe to last me a week, and some great possibilities for this show to be one of the better shows this season.

Not quite the flashback but....


Also, I just noticed it, but anyone else realize Mio resembles Nagi with black hair?

I knew Tsugumi's eyebrows would bother me...
other than that, it was a good start.

That was pretty fun. Reminded me of Kagami's group with a side of Yutaka-ish. Nice to see real brands in an anime again, I thought they kicked assholes on that song being their first practice. Didn't expect Krauser lol. Liked the ED over the OP but I think it will grow on me. So far liking Mio and Yui. Was waiting for Mio to eat some pocky, pull out a sword, and call out Nue.

If the rest of the series is anything like the first episode, it will definitely be my favourite of this season. Awesome start! And Yui is such a good main character ^_^.

Yui looks for me like a miz between Tsukasa from Lucky Star and from Clannad

Didn't think to compare her with Nagisa but I was comparing personalities then looks. Here was my post on that.







Mio to Kagami (+Shyness less Tsundere)
Yui to Tsukasa
Tsumgi to Miyuki (Not Clumsy)
Ritsu to Misao

Bad Animation?

Check.

Generic Moe blob character designs?

Check.


Another Kyoto animation show that will be eaten up by socially inept otaku because it has Kawaii OP/ED?

Great first episode! The character expressions were hilarious. I have to admit, I got high expectations for K-ON now. The part where Yui recalls playing music with the clappers really excessively when she was young was freakin' hilarious, I really lol'd. Overall great beginning and awesome OP and ED, especially the karaoke provided by Coalguys fansub.

Huh? Did you watch the same K-ON as me? o_0 Imo, the motion pictured in this show was.. amazing. Sure there were a few scenes where nothing but talking happened, as for animation, which is also why I didn't specifically mention it in my first post in this thread. But other than that, I enjoyed watching the characters act and move.

Well, somehow I get the weird, unexplainable feeling that I just wasted two minutes of my life by quoting and replying.. but, duh.

The OP and ED were pretty amusing, but the show as a whole was extremely mediocre. Unless there is little else I watch this season I'll most likely be dropping this.

Holy shit that is one awesome ED. Instant win, earned some huge points there Mio.

Looks to be another great slice-of-life show, can't wait for more.

Very cute and funny episode, I'm sure I'll enjoy this anime a lot. Mio is already the best.

As I said before, OP and ED are really great. Can't wait for the full versions.

Laughed a lot at Yui, totally nuts that girl.

Best OP, ED and first episode of an 2009 Anime so far.
I really liked it and laughed a lot.


Mio <3

Character movements remind me a bit of Kannagi.

KyoAni's ripping off Kannagi now XP
Agree with the people who said the animation was similar and Mio looks like Nagi. Throughout this episode I was just thinking of Kannagi.

Pretty cute first episode. Mio is obviously going to be the most popular, and she's my favourite so far along with Ritsu.

OP and ED are great. I honestly didn't believe that songs sung by a big group of seiyuu could even be remotely good (catchy - yes, good - no). Nice vids too.

Well i must say the animation is QUITE good. The sync and motion was cool. Mio obvioisly reminded me of Nagi but with black hair. Yui is kinda stereotypical airheaded girl but with some original aspects. To be honest i didn't expect too much from K-ON! lets see how it goes on the next episodes. Im somehow atracted now, i wanna see how the music club goes on.

The ending was cool also ^_^. 7/10 to be the first ep.

I'm not a fan of mindless moe, so I'll figure out if I stick with this or not. At least Mio looks like she has a brain. Anyway, the ED was pretty cool.

yeah, definately looks a bit too much like mindless moe after this episode...
Yui is really bugging me right now. Usually I like clumsy characters. But she's only clumsy nothing more! I hope she develops a character real quick... poor girl...

I totally agree with everybody who said that the ending was great!

This anime is very refreshing, something new and different to your standard animes and was done nicely. Was skeptical first about it but it grew on me and I look forward to the next installment.

I dont think you can call it mindless moe just yet. Im sure some kind of a plot will develop sometime where characters will develop a little. I mean, if it turns into Lucky Star, I'll cry.

Wow that was fast subs for a first episode. What is with KyoAni and lack of widescreen?
nice episode, I dont think a plot will develop since its based on a 4koma though. Intresting looking legs, they seemed to have alot of shots of just legs, was I the only person to think that?
In the end i think I will love this series.

I think its normal K-on character designer for the anime is the same who did Lucky Star.

But I was wondering...

Thats exactly what I thought, she's a combination of a few black haired characters, and you got the right combo.
