hmmm, the trailer did not enhance my anticipation... but then most trailers don't. Its like they go out of their way to make crappy uninspiring previews.

So far it looks mildly interesting but not something that has me excited. I'll give it a look of course. I'd say that Kyoani is playing it too safe... but then if they were playing it REALLY safe we'd be seeing another season of L*S or SHnY on the queue....

I don't remember Nagisa ever playing guitar

Is K-On! replacing the Clannad time slot?

Ithekro · 2009-03-27, 02:55

I believe so. I seem to recall it going being on at the same time and day of the week as Clannad...at least on TBS.

Westlo · 2009-03-27, 03:00

Second trailer dropped my enthusiasm for the show by a bit...

animeffs13240 · 2009-03-27, 04:23

read a little of the manga but it didn't peak my interest so i think i might pass on the anime though it might look like coalguys will fansub this according to the poll on their website i prefer if they did natsu no arashi (sry to get off topic)

Yes. The advert after Clannad AS 24 ends shows that.

Chihiro is subbing too, but it is a pity they are phasing out avis at such an economic downturn (I HAVE TO PUT OFF BUYING A NEW PC DAMMIT).

So, it will be shitty quality again?

Well, I have Guin Saga on my scale of higher expectations. However, KyoAni usually plays it safe so K-On will be harmless unless you are one puking on your cereals at the mere thought of "moé" in your favorite industry and get defiled in the rectal area by President Aria everytime a new s-o-lcomedymoe anime is released. In the other hand, Guin Saga for me is a riskier bet because I absolutely liked the original source and absolutely fear the adaptation decay syndrome. So the disappointment I may feel from K-On may be less than what I would feel from Guin Saga if it turns out not as I hoped.

It will be still my second choice for this incoming anime season.

SaintessHeart · 2009-03-27, 06:45

Cmon K-On isn't that bad!

Mio is adorable!

I will give it a try. I am just not expecting much.

E_I · 2009-03-27, 09:38

Mio is adorable. Hell, they're all adorable. This show is my most anticipated of the Spring season.

chikorita157 · 2009-03-27, 09:48

I haven't watch the trailer for K-ON! yet, but looking at it, I'm expecting that it will be just as good as Kanagi and/or Lucky Star...

And that was one of the more entertaining posts I've read today

Raws will be, yes. TBS 4:3 shows are poor broadcast quality, typically.

And yes, it is replacing Clannad's timeslot, making me think it may be 24-26 episodes long, since that was previously occupied by TLR, which was previously occupied by Clannad. The one right before it has been the 12-13 episode series.

Saintess Heart: I may still be doing XviD versions for K-ON!. Still undecided.

Littm · 2009-03-27, 17:00

Thnx, Kristen. Bad news again. Sounds strange for me because KyoAni started making anime in HD after Kanon (you can find this info in jp wiki).

Midonin · 2009-03-27, 17:04

The show's likely being made the same as it always was. It's more a case of the channel it's airing on.

Ithekro · 2009-03-27, 17:15

Considering that Clannad has a HD release three weeks after an episode airs on TBS, KyoAni is still making their shows in HD widescreen, but that isn't how the stations plan to run them unless or until they are mandated by the government to switch over the HDTV (which is suppose to happen in Japan in 2011). Thus if that is the case, you will only have high quality anime dumbed down by the stations for another two years, and then they can no longer pull that trick to get more DVD/BlueRay sales.

HD-release of Clannad ? Where ? I know only about widescreen.

Well, I hope to see Kanon in HD. For current moment we have only three BD releases of KyoAni shows - Air, FMP Fumoffu and FMP TSR (too bad that first two titles are really upscaled, but as for TSR... it looks rather good).

Clannad wasn't aired in HD. It was aired in SD upscaled by the station to 1440x1080, then downscaled again by the encoders. It's just WS on BS-i, not HD.

Looks like TBS is trying to squeeze out every opportunity out of its evil marketing strategy before the inevitable 2011 crushes them.
