Goodness me, that's huge...

Given those impressive numbers, I really wonder how well the movie will do.

"even though they are all novices who cannot play instruments or read music."

I thought Yui's the only novice?

When I read of this show accumulating so much, and think of so many much better series, that don't even make a quarter of this, all i can do is fall to my knees and cry.

I am curious to see how well the movie will do considering very hardcore fans have been betrayed recently by Yui and Azunyan = Toyosaki Aki and Ayana Taketatsu...mmm....before the smart guy says this does not mater and that seiyuuu bla bla bla bla bla, yes it does matter in Japan for the hardcore fans of the series and mainly the hardcore seiyuu fans which are the ones that gets them all those millions!

So I am curious to see if K-ON goes unaffected, or if it at least affects Yui and Azunyan goods....

Me, I am highly anticipating the movie, thanks.

I say Toradora is better, but who am I to judge,

I think since K-On appealed to more than just Otaku, that is why it became so big. not many shows can do that, just like Scoody Doo here in america is still popular, and that show has been around since before the simpsons,


I bet once they stop airing new episodes of the simpsons, sooner or later it will no longer be popular, well I think for the past 10 years the simpsons have been going down hill, but even when scoody doo didn't have any new episodes or movies, people still bought the merchandise. and it has been around a lot longer than the simpsons

I wont even start on futurama, which I think is a better show than the simpsons could ever be

damn I ramble too much Laughing

Ironically, there is really a Occupy Tokyo right now I think and they seem to have 99 problems, but K-On ain't one.

(If you don't get it, I was making a reference to Jay-Z's 99 problem songs)

That Aki, Yui's seiyuu is suspected of living with her boyfriend and Ayana, Azunyan's seiyuu is suspected of having a boyfriend...big deal for hardcore seiyuu fans.
