K-ON!

K-ON!

Hey, it may be another cutesy, bishoujo series based on a 4-koma series, but at least this bridges the fact that Kyoto Animation is tackling the music genre. This series is about four girls who are attempting to revive the music club in their school despite their lack of musical talent. This is also Hisako Yamada's directorial debut, and this person was responsible of those incredibly BAWWWing episodes of Clannad After Story so it should be promising. Hopefully we don't get another staff change incident like what happened in Lucky Star.

I guess it'll be alright to post the youtube teaser promo that premiered after the last episode of Clannad:

First episode should be out 4/2, and since it's taking over Clannad's time spot, we're getting that usual 4:3 presentation with the later 16:9 presentation in the next few weeks at a different channel. :?

You know, it's funny. I could've sworn there was a thread for this show already, but apparently I was wrong.

Anyway, /will watch. Or, you know, at least check out at the beginning. I tend to like this based-on-4-koma stuff for one reason or another.
... yea ...

Awesome can't wait.

Most shows based on 4-koma are really good, examples: Lucky Star, Hidamari Sketch, Potemayo, Azumanga Daioh, Doujin Work.

Well at least the manga is great. I haven't laughed this much since the first season of Minami-ke.

Character's

this isn't actually the manga it's the character page. But if I'm not allowed to post it then feel free to remove

Spoiler :
Tainaka Ritsu wants to join the light music club but it is going to be disbanded because all the members graduated, needs 4 members to start the club back up again. These are the members:
Tainaka Ritsu-Drums: Becomes President of the light music club and drummer. A total nutbar, much like Kana from Minami-ke.
Akiyama Mio-Bass: Was going to join an Academic Club but and up getting dragged into the dying Light Music Club as Bassist by Ritsu.
Kotobuki Tsugumi-Keyboard: Very similar to Miyuki from Lucky Star, minus the clumsiness. Also reminds me of Haruka from Minami-ke. Was going to join the Chorus Club but after seeing Mio and Ritsu arguing decided it would be more fun to join the light music club.
Hirasawa Yui-Guitar:Joined of her own free will, she has no idea what she's getting herself into. Alot like Yuno from Hidamari Sketch.


And there you have it, I really can't wait

I just banged my head against my monitor when I read page 23.
Spoiler :
Update on my description of Tsugumi: The rich girl-type, daughter of the owner of the music shop where Yui get's her guitar
Update on Yui: Has no skills with the Guitar: Is going to be taught by the other members
Update on Ritsu: Has really small hands so could not play keyboard or guitar so chose drum instead (According to Ritsu).
Update on Mio: "Delicate-type with a cool demeanor"
