Honestly, when it comes to Kyoto Animation, it's better to get a BD copy rather than DVD. Now if Bandai releases special editions for DVD's and not BD, then of course i'm going DVD. Sorry BluRay, but SE's call me when it comes to shows I love.

Way to go K-On!
Personally my collection has been moving to BD. Whether the animation quality is simple or complex, or if there is any noticable difference in visual quality, with the little cost difference from BD and DVD nowadays, I don't see myself buying anime DVDs anymore unless that's the only format available and I want that particular anime badly enough where I can't wait for it to come out in BD. Love never makes sense and a fan/collector that loves something will always want the best quality regardless of whether or not the extra cost is worth it.

Not as much as you need to grow the hell up and realize that there's nothing wrong with some people having a different taste than you do.

OK, if you can't see the difference between DVD and Bluray... you need your eyes examined. Of course K-ON! looks better on Bluray... almost everything (that was not done by Funimation, or is a blatant upscale like Koihime Musou, even though those look better then the DVD too).

Yeah, I think my FMAB blu-rays are the worst looking blu-rays I have personally.
Blu-ray basically shows you every detail of the original art work very clearly. Whether you like the subject matter of the art work or not isn't really the point when it comes to determining whether a show looks good on blu-ray or not.

I think I'm the exact opposite of you. I think I would rather have the higher quality visuals of the actual show then the extras. But I guess depending on how much I liked the show and what was included in the special edition I might end up getting both.

Alot of people can't tell the difference. It's not an uncommon thing. Especially if they can't afford fancy ass TV's.

blu-ray normally gives you better audio too if you have good home home theater systems.

Well, I think it's understood that you need an HDTV to be able to watch HD material in actual HD...

Exactly. Except I guess i'm one of those collectors who say "one copy is enough" because it's rarely that I go BluRay, unless the visuals are just so impressive I have to go BD (ex. Evangelion 2.2).

Amen. Anyone who thinks that must have bleh taste, f**ked in the head, under the spell of the cute characters, or all of the above.
Don't give much of a damn about the show myself, but hell--if it's selling that well, then congratz.

Quantity over quality? Do you also think Twilight and Transformers are the defining movies of our generation?

For this generation of anime? Absolutely.
K-ON is on the short list of shows that represent trends in anime over the past decade. Refined almost to a perfection at what it does best.
