Comments And Thoughts About It
Well... What can I say, the simple K-On franchise from start to finish grew up into this?...

Anyway, about the movie, I can't really think of anything much more to say. Its because its a slice of life, its everyday life in the eyes of the characters, what the characters do is pretty much the SUBSTANCE of the movie and the anime.

But I like how they maintained the same magic that the anime series did, some anime's get kinda over hyped over the news that they'll get a green lit to a movie version that they trip and fall to the darkest of places and then decide to make the movie there. For short the movie becomes sucky rather than be BETTER than the anime series.

Also that's another question that some people asked me, was K-On the Movie better than the series? I wouldn't really say its better, but it works as a movie and it has some UPGRADES that the series didn't have. The only complaint I can think of is, the fans and the annoying people who just asks for something that the GIVER can GIVE. For example, the fans keep asking for more whilst knowing that this kind of substance is not enough to make a LONG LONG series and 2nd the people who asks for something.... Now I can't believe this idiots ask for "NEW STUFF" I mean what's gonna be new here has already been talked about, read about, released about by kakifly and yes I'm talking about the college manga of K-On.

Lets pause for a sec and finally think of a complaint. I think the complaint I'm going to put on the table is that, why can't they use the full song? I mean seriously, your going to perform your songs HTT, DO A FULL VERSION NOW SINCE THIS IS A MOVIE! But I digress, there was a part where Yui did an awesome "ONE MORE TIME" moment for Gohan Wa Okazu.. That was pretty much something NEW that I didn't see... Also, PLEASE IF YOUR GOING TO PUT ON FUWA FUWA TIME YOU CAN JUST SHOW US THE ENTIRE SONG AGAIN. Why do they have to put on shortcuts for that song?.. I mean they've shown it many times in the series, but this is the movie version of the anime, they should put ALL INTO IT!

Well all those complaints aside I can definitely say that this is one of those movies that will be remembered by those who watched it, since we got a unique kinda movie over here, seriously, since when did I see an Anime movie like this? this is actually the first time I've seen a slice of life anime get a movie.. And I can definitely say that this Movie doesn't get out of here without a recommendation, so go watch it, its awesome..

The Legendary Nitpicking Division

1.*sigh* Again, I'm going to point this out.. Full songs PLEASE..
- Seriously, its a movie and they can finally put a full song performance..

2.They should've done more stuff in london..
- It felt more like a time-taking pie.. Where they just had to put that in there before the main event.

3.The HTT members...
- THEY EASILY GET PHOBIAS OR WHAT?!...

 [Scoring]                                             Ratings On This Anime
1 = YOU FAIL / Eeh? I only saw a quarter of fanservice     (the 2nd sentence is for fanservice ratings)
2 = MEH! / I guess there's not much fanservice
3 = A Shrug / Hmmm, There is! Fanservice
4 = Somewhat it's kinda good / Woopsy daisy that's fanservice alright
5 = Average / Okay, Currently looking at more fanservice scenes
6 = Good / That's a daily dosage of fanservice
7 =  GOOD!! *Interested Eyes* / More fanservice!
8 = Very good / Much more fanservice
9 = Holy crap! It's awesome / Holy crap! I'm nosebleeding
10 = Perfect, now get out of here before I die of awesomeness from you / I think I'm swimming in my own blood, that came out from my nose.

1.Story 6/10 - Looks like this anime has some sort of STORY to it and it deserves some well examination... Again, its not really the greatest story in the book of stories but it works since it kinda explains some parts in the series that were not explained... Or just one EXPLANATION, AS TO HOW TENSHI NI FURETA YO WAS CREATED. Oh its not really a big spoiler... Any spoilers that I say here is not breathtaking since you know that everything will come to that point where they sing that song to Azusa..

2.Artwork 10/10 - Definitely well made artwork, I'm even gonna mention now that the animation was awesome and I think its safe to say that the improvement on the artwork and the animation on this movie is what divides it from being the same as the episodes from the anime series.

3.OP Song 9/10 - Definitely surprised me as to how much MOE was in there... But lets view this in another way. If it works as an OP for the K-On Movie or not?  It definitely does work as an OP for the cute-ish figure that is being imposed by the movie and the anime.
  ED Song 9/10 - Well, since we all know that Mio will always sing the ED songs in a pretty Mature and SERIOUS kinda way, we might as well say that this is not the kind of ED that fits but every person who watched the K-On franchise will absolutely just accept the ED.. And I may say that... THE ED IS AWESOME that's why I rated it 9/10, I'm judging it by the MUSIC.

4.Fanservice 0/10 - Lol, first time I ever rated 0 in here, meaning that there is no FANSERVICE whatsoever in this MOVIE, don't expect those bland panty shots from below and the bland ecchi characters that get repeated every now and then when the producers can't make a god damn competent character.

5.Comedy in it 6/10 - Not really like KoreZom where there was buckets of comedy, but I think its fair to say that this movie kinda brought some comedy into the table, it just doesn't do ENOUGH comedy.

6.Entertainment Rate 6.5/10 - I think this movie's selling point was... LONDON... But anywho about the entertainment rate, well, I remember watching Bruce Almighty and I got a load of ENTERTAINMENT from that 1 hr movie. My point is, K-On isn't really the bucket full of entertainment, the SERIES was the bucket full of entertainment, this is kinda like a GIFT for the fans and the hardcore LOVERS of K-On.

So this Movie?
Pass, Average, Fail

Well, I think the answer is kinda gonna be TWO here, if your a fan of the series I would definitely say that this will be a PASS but if you just stumbled on the movie and decided to watch it, I would say that you should start at Season 1 and Season 2 then watch the movie so you get the FEELING and what the movie is trying to IMPOSE on you, and to start that sentence again, if you just stumbled on the movie and never watched S1 and S2 of K-On, I think it would be an AVERAGE.

Also, I don't really see how you can view this as a fail, I know that fuck all else happens in the movie but expecting that certain something whilst knowing that it will never be given out is just wrong and you would be deserve to be called a FAIL.

I kinda want to point out too that I love how they just push how the viewers can give a damn about the characters. Lol, that's about it...
