K-ON! Volume 1

K-on! Volume 1 ReviewThe first volume of this show does give a nice and entertaining take on the manga by Kakifly.On Bluray the quality is stunning crisp and clear nice step up from the im sure great DVD resolution, I found the songs in the opening and closing to be fun and rather cute.Now comes to the meat to some fans, the English dub suites the needs well for those of us (myself included) who cant always look at the screen to read subtitles or a lack of know how to speak Japanese.While Yui's voice is a bit high at times it still works well, the VAs of Ritsu, Mio and Tsumugi DO fit their characters well. Some can argue that the voices `don't fit' and that it is fundamentally `better' in the original language. However do keep in mind the company didn't HAVE to bring this great series over.I have noticed they have chosen to go for American Dollars over Japanese Yen, Yui's Guitar cost250,000 Yen, yet Mio says $2,500, this isn't too large a deterrent however but a nice nod to those that can't get conversions.Overall however I am impressed with this anime, nice packaging good quality. If you're a fan of the original manga or just want something cute, give this a go.

Although I have no intention of counting one's chickens before they've hatched, at least I could say it's exactly a good thing that Bandai Ent. is finally launching this highly anticipated series on Blu-rays.The problem here is apparently someone messed up the Product Details above. It says only Japanese audio is available while it also saying this title is dubbed, and 66 minutes running time is too short to hold even three episodes.As I checked with the manufacture's web site, this title has English dub as well as the original Japanese audio with the English subs. It also says the volume #1 is to contain the first four episodes of the series.I gave 5 stars based upon that information. However, I still strongly recommend you to be cautious before you order this item (If it contains only three episodes, 4 stars at best).

5 stars for quality and content.... 1 star for no description of what's on it. Only 4 episodes of a 12 episode season. You don't know because nowhere in the description does it say. Pay a little more for the 2 season set.

It's very interesting for me to overlook them in music and school life.Heroin is very clumsy and out of concentration.But the taste of this anime very calls attention to me.It makes me at home..

I don't know to whom the show is supposed to be geared towards by description or intent. What I do know is that this is one of the only shows I can enjoy with my little girl. In the entire list of anime in my library this is one of the few that her and I can watch without me fearing for inappropriate content and adult humor popping on screen. It's funny and lighthearted and not boring, which is hard to find since pleasing adults and children is not an easy balance to pull.I can recommend this for parent who like anime and want something to watch with their kids. Its good enough that it can get other audiences but that's the reason I liked it.

Great lighthearted series about a group of high school students joining a music club that I would recommend for anyone or even families to watch.

I absolutely love this series. All the characters are so memorable and impossible not to grow attached to. The show will never fail to bring a smile to your face, and is one of the few shows that can truly making you laugh out loud. Excellent animation quality and great art style.I'm usually a fan of dubbed animes, but would actually recommend watching the sub for this. It's not that the english voices are bad, but after viewing the series with the original cast, the voices just seem to fit so much better with the energy they bring. If you hate subs, then the dub will still be fine, I'm sure you'll love these characters after the very first episode.

i bought the blu ray only to discover its region locked! it doesn't say it in the description! WTF amazon?
