maybe they just burned it in blu-ray just for the sake of being in it. It's hard to imagine they could use the entire 25GB just to encode at 2x20-30 min video. (well better if they make a behind the scenes segments) |

Well, this isn't really Kyoto Animation's doing; it's being published by Pony Canyon. But, as I said above, this is totally in line with standard industry practice in Japan. All of Pony Canyon's other recent 1-cour shows were released on DVD in this way (Kurenai, Spice & Wolf, Polyphonica Crimson S, etc.). And again, people need to remember that this is the primary way they make their money back on the basic production costs; this isn't like primetime TV that makes its money on advertising, or like licensed anime releases in other countries that only really have to make back the licensing and translation costs. Plus, a successful production like this one will fund a dozen other productions that don't sell nearly as well, so that's sort of par for the course. Anyway, if people want to read about how Japanese anime DVD/BD solitications work, I wrote something here that explains it (check the second section of the article). |

I wanted to ask, does a show like this attract more male viewers than female?
I find the cosplay obsessed teacher, and mio's phobia a bit of a turn off and think I'd like the show much better without these gimmicks, however, is this the type of stuff the viewers acctually like? |

sorry if this has been said before,
but I just wanted to say that it is 100% pure B.S. that yui is able to play the songs "fuwa fuwa time" and "cagayake girls" on guitar after learning these songs, I must say that there are many riffs in both of these songs that are EXTREMELY difficult to play note for note (especially that prechorus riff in cagayake girls). to get an idea of what I am talking about, please watch from 0:55 - 1:08 in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB2Ojk-55g0 how the hell can a clumsy high school freshman with 1 year of guitar experience play that? seriously wtf? FYI, if you don't play guitar, that riff requires fast alternate speed picking WHILE palm muting (extremely hard) and also has very fast left hand movements thats my 2cents about this show |

In that case, azusa is now my favorite character still doesn't explain how they played the song without azusa early on (the OP was the same before azusa came), or how they performed fuwa fuwa time (azusa wasn't in the band yet) edit: nice video btw |

If you compare the OP without Azusa and with her you'll notice another guitar in the song adding a different riff. Particularly during that part. So it's not originally 2 guitars doing that portion. Unless the new modified OP has 3 guitars in it now. (And yes, technically bass is a guitar, but we're not counting it for this.)
While the guy playing that originally linked performance adds extra embellishment and flourish to the song, he does play that section closer to the original than the other covers I've seen/heard. It's still not exactly like the original. So I guess the implication is that Yui is some guitar prodigy. It's already hinted shown that she has an amazing ability to single-task and has perfect pitch. And at any rate, she'll have over a years experience to learn to play Cagayake!GIRLS (assuming that they show the band playing it at the end of the series).

i hate having to take back so many of my own words, but apparently that guitar part I mentioned was played with a delay pedal (it makes a lot more sense now)
so... its actually way easier to play than it sounds... in fact, it's downright easy so I guess I'll just have to accept the fact that theyre all creative geniuses instead? mugi/mio/azusa seem to have strong musical backgrounds so i suppose thats acceptable |
