REVIEW: K-ON! The Movie Blu-Ray

Azu-sist isn't even in the subtitles.

But why would they not do it in the dub? I don't see what's so "understandable" about removing it. It's awkward because Azusa still visually reacts to it.

Since I have seen only the Sentai release I do not know what you are talking about.
What was the joke?

I was not comfortable watching it. I felt like a stalker peeking in though a hole in the wall at these girls.

LOL. What is this nonsense? A plot is too much to expect now? A plot is what happens in the story. Real character development can't happen unless something happens to the characters. The characters of a story are the agents of the plot! Why should a story get a free pass if it has nothing of value to contribute except giving fans something pretty to look at until a real story comes along? Trying to define the quality of a story by your relationship with it is ludicrous. For example, I happen to love Slayers but that doesn't mean it doesn't have its fair share of flaws. I enjoy the unintentional comedy of "The Room" but that doesn't mean it's not a terribly written movie.

− Lightweight gag humor and weak plotting continue to be this franchise's downfall.

Weak plotting? Why would you even go into K-On looking for plot? Not everything has to have some great plot to be really good.

And K-On has a plot, its not a hugely epic one or anything, but its enough for its purposes.

Why do people immediately go to that extreme when defending it? They say things like: "Why are people looking for a plot? It's not Death Note!" And in the process, make it sound as though they're vilifying works with actual stories to tell. It's ridiculous. There are low-key series that do have sufficient plots and well-developed characters.

Its because theres no reason to focus on plot for a relaxing slice of life show. All it would do is take away from its strengths.

You need good plot for a show to be good? Oh really? Then I guess Seinfeld was shit, wasn't it? Or, for a more anime example, Azumanga Daioh, Dragonball Z, Sailor Moon, those were all crap, right?
