K-On! The Movie [Blu-ray] (2011)

Let me preface this by saying I love K-ON, I love the anime, I love the manga, I love the PS3/PSP game, I love the K-ON merch I have too. I'm a fanboy, so of course I'm going to rate this high. Timeline is a bit weird however, have you ever seen an anime that finishes up and then has a movie and that movie takes place in the middle of a season yet the events of which are never referenced afterwords? That weird plot hole aside it's great. It looks amazing in HD. It sounds amazing with the soundtrack of BGM's and of actual lyrical songs, I must question though why if the movie is dubbed into English and takes place largely in a country that speaks English why none of the songs WERE DUBBED INTO ENGLISH?! This is jarring and annoying because past songs in the series have been dubbed into English. I can get past that however because the dub is excellent and as a final send off the actors really put their heart and soul into it. Additionally it has a whole slew of extra features, of which I also love. J cast interviews, J trips to London to scout out the areas they went to in the movie, premiere events, music videos. Again I must ask however, WHY NO FEATURES FEATURING THE ENGLISH CAST, they were as involved with the series as the Japanese, why no respect for them?STILL, the movie is great, the features great, and getting past those two complaints it's an excellent release and you more than get your moneys worth with this.

If you love the series, then you will love the movie. This movie is basically an extension of the series and adds more story and detail that takes place towards the end of the series leading up to their graduation. The movie also brings back all of the popular songs in some capacity, as well as add in some more new music. To understand what is going on in the movie, it is pretty much necessary to watch the series beforehand.The animation is great and many of the backgrounds of London are impressive. For fans of the English dub, it is also very well done and high quality. Watching the movie makes you love Yui and company even more. A heartwarming experience and a great addition to the K-On! series. You will have the urge to watch this movie more than once. A fun movie for a great series.

Typical slice of life anime which the Japanese do so well. Almost as good as the TV series. Only sad thing is that it seems to have a definite ending. I assume they'll be no TV season 3. Incidentally, Amazon's price was much cheaper than in the shops. Don't know why but Mio the bass guitarist, after 2 seasons and a movie, remains my favourite character.

Yui, Ritsu, Mio, Tsumugi and Azusa of the light music club are back again! They decided to take a club trip to celebrate Yui, Ritsu, Mio and Tsumugi’s high school graduation. What follows is a delightful and hilarious slice of life movie that following light music club members as they prepare for, go on and return from their trip.The animation is gorgeous, the characters are adorable, the story is compelling and the English dub is fantastic making this series a must own for any music loving anime fans and one of my favorite animes!

I love this movie so so much. When it arrived in the mail a week early, I literally just ran into my room and called up all my other anime loving friends to come over and watch this amazing movie. Kyoto Animation is by far, my favorite animation company because it's so fluid and the colors are just amazing. I originally watched the show in it's english dub and prefer it that way (although I did rewatch it in Japanese), the movie is much better in Japanese due to most of the jokes being that they can't speak English. If you are a K-ON! fan, then this is the movie for you.

Did not care about any of the characters. I did not enjoy watching this movie at all. It's so shallow. Has no depth. All characters have the same look, personality, and even voice.

I never thought I would get into something like this, but out of curiosity, I watched K-On! The movie on Hulu, got hooked on it, watched K-On!! on Hulu and then had to watch the first season K-On! somewhere else on the Internet. I liked it so much, I had to buy the whole thing on blu-ray (even though it's pretty expensive compared to other series) so I could watch it in pristine clarity and view the extras. I just now watched again K-On! The Movie blu-ray, and the story has even more depth now that I've watched the series. I can't wait for the rest of my set to arrive so I can re-watch the series in proper order. My only gripe is that the language selection on the blu-ray menu was not working. It was stuck on English and you could not change it through the menu. Luckily I could change the audio through my blu-ray remote because I'd rather hear the Japanese voice actors and read the subtitles.

Adorable story, adorable art... just an adorable movie all around.If you liked K-ON the series, you'll really like this movie. Just... avoid the English the first time around. A plot point of the film is to learn English and to translate songs (as they visit London)... so... it's weird. And super funny when you listen to it for the second time 'round.
