According to the update, it hasn't been decided if there will be a dub or BD release.

Haters gonna hate.
I think this will be a good release. Bang Zoom said they had one big project they were working on and there isn't a speck of doubt in my mind that this is it. Also I'd LOVE to hear Cristina Vee as Mio. She is a brilliant example of a rising star in voice acting and I think she said once she'd love to voice Mio.

Hands clapping for all who wished for/begged for/prayed for this to be licensed.

I hope Bandai isn't placing all their chips on this bet, but if they're going to the expense of dubbing it, they may well be. Yep, K-ON! is definitely popular - in Japan and online. In the past this hasn't translated very well to actual sales. Haruhi wasn't nearly the hit they expected, and Lucky Star sold poorly. I see no reason to think K-ON! will do so much better.
For the record, K-ON! bores the crap out of me. But that has little to do with my sales expectations for it. I feel the same about shows I like as well. I may like Bakemonogatari a great deal and think Legend of Galactic Heroes is one of the best shows ever, but I think both would sell poorly in the US (I don't think either would even pay back its license cost). For Bandai's sake, I hope all those that clamored for it put their money where their mouth is this time. Last edited by hissatsu01 on Thu Jul 01, 2010 6:30 pm; edited 2 times in total |

I'm excited. I love K-ON and I'll gladly buy it! Dub or no dub, idc. I hope there are some nice extras, though. I can live without, but it would be cool.
That said, this does seem like a pretty risky move. Moe shows usually don't sell too well. |

Well, it's Azumanga Beck, which is better than Lucky Star (in terms of general appeal, anyway). Hopefully they'll release it smartly (a box like Haruhi 2's would work) and decide on a dub. I tend to think it's likely, although maybe not if sales are really awful for new Haruhi.

But in this case you need to change that into "high school girls acting like elementary school girls doing stupid and "cute" stuff" |

I hope Bandai does pull the trigger on a Blu-ray release and dub. Although, here's hoping it does not bankrupt them at the same time. A Bang Zoom dub does sound appealing, although the question has to be "to dub or not to dub the songs?" That is the question.
Although, if a dub wasn't confirmed, then what was this marketing video about? Is it to shop to networks to air or something thrown together just for announcing this license? |

♫ One ♫ Two ♫ Three ♫...
Dub or no dub, I'm very interested in this title. My sources tell me it's another slice-of-life anime, and you all know what kind of sucker I am for this stuff. ♫ whistles ♫ EDIT: I thought the song counted to four. Oops.

Finally, an anime series I'm interested in buying on Blu-Ray. I saw the update, but Bandai Entertainment's official Twitter stream mentions Blu-Ray, so I presume it's all but certain.
I'm also happy it's Bandai as that makes it likely that we'll get North American-distributed CD singles. I've already imported the first season opening and closing single CD's from Japan, but I'm looking forward to getting the singles of the in-show concert songs. |

Ahh, excellent point! Though that makes it even more sadder that I can enjoy and relate to this kind of stuff though. Maybe I'll just claim escapism and enjoyment of fluff and call it a day! |
