Like a book, I know it’s a great one when the empty feeling hit me after I finished it. That’s (one of) the thing this movie left me with.
I am a fan of the series, but I wasn’t convinced that I could take a 2-hours movie of this in one go. Oh how wrong I was. I actually was annoyed that my family interrupted me twice while I was watching. I was either LOL-ing or had a grin on my face the whole time. Recently finishing the manga, while it’s fun till the end, I think the manga ending is underwhelm. I did not expecting “epicness” from K-On!, but I could not say that it’s a good ending. There was something left to be desired. This movie is the answer. It does not betray anything that K-On! suppose to be. It is still the girls fooling around and having fun. However, it does give me the feeling that, yes, this is it. This is the grand finale of the series. The empty feeling started hitting me when they played in front of the classroom one last time. I was telling myself to enjoy that moment, as it was something that could not be repeated again, even if I rewatch this in the future. By the time the credit rolled, I felt like a chapter in my anime-viewing life is closed. I’ve been watching anime pretty much my entire life (though arguably not that long) but only a few series ending had that effect on me. My hat’s off to the staffs of this movie. They gave a great ending the series and the fans deserved. What’s left for this series is taking the test of time to become a classic. I think it will do fine. 9/10 from me. |

Finally watched it today... was busy with other things, LOL.
That was so fun, watching them all confused with English (especially Yui... LOL) And Azunya's Song was so cute and nice. As for the Manga... I still can't find any Scanlated version for both "Yui & Gang in College" and "Azunya in High School"... only can find cover pics... >_< |

I love the manga, the show and the movie, but I too expected music to be more a focal point than it was when I first heard about it. Especially when you have a main character standing on the cover poster wielding a guitar, ready to play it.

At least *that* you can do as I used to bring my own guitar gig bag on the plane. It will be too big for the compartments above but the stewardesses usually place it in a bigger compartment in the plane and hand me a numbered ticket so I can claim it back when I've arrived to my destination.... ....I figured that's what they did. I may need to rewatch the movie though to remember exactly what they did. --Lone Wolf |

I was thinking the same thing! Well I bet Yui's guitar already has a ton of mojo on her guitar! I was surprised Mio didn't get all OCD, I mean non-hard shell case on a airline luggage is a death sentence

I got my copy of the Blu-ray limited edition of the movie in the mail yesterday, so I figured I would share my thoughts about it...

That part when Yui goes into her "trance" after seeing the baby and adds her engrish while performing in the japan pop culture thing really clicked with me, maybe it was the camera sequence that made me share a little in that high. It sort of felt like a tribute to London at that point.
Also, the new "BBC" video clip was a nice treat

Why did you say that it's a 767? Was there a design element of the plane that made you think that, or was it just what someone else said? ^^; When I first saw the plane, I was thinking either 777 or 787, but also wondering which twin-aisle, twin-engine Airbus aircraft might be options (I'm much less familiar with the Airbus family. It seems that the A330 is the only option now, but no one seems to fly them with more than two seats outside of the aisles toward the rear). While JAL seems to fly them, I never considered the 767 since its economy seats are usually 2-3-2. JAL doesn't seem to use any Airbus aircraft these days, and the 787 is really too new for it to have been a consideration (JAL also flies it with a 2-4-2 economy arrangement, and it doesn't go to London). Many airlines fly the 777 in a 3-3-3 configuration, except for the last row (United recently-ish switched from 2-5-2), and JAL and Seatguru show what we see in the movie (with Seatguru saying that Ritsu's got a lousy seat ^^; ). The first place that I should have gone was JAL's site, I guess, because it shows that the girls' flights JL401 and JL402 use the 777-300ER. ^^;;;
I enjoyed the fact that the girls went to London, and I got to see some familiar sights from my own trips there. I was thrilled to see them shopping at the Waitrose store next to the Gloucester Road Underground station. It's right around the corner from a couple of the hotels that I've stayed at when I've gone to London, and I've been in there two or three times. Yay! \^_^/ Quote:

JAL does operate 767s . . . but they're mostly "domestic and short-haul international" planes. The 777 is their main long-distance international carrier.

I'm a little late to the party here, but I did get and watch the Blu-Ray way back in July. The movie is an immensely enjoyable watch, making both everyday and extraordinary events come to life in the way that the movie can bring it out. I'll give it nine for being enjoyable but not exploring London in great enough detail I have no idea what future directions this franchise will take, but as it stands now, it could be concluded satisfactorily with the movie.
