The Funimation UK&IRE Twitter feed has Tweeted the following:
"We're aware of and are currently looking into the issue some people have experienced with our K-ON! release. Thank you for your patience while we investigate."
The Anime UK News website has reported buyers' comments that the video image on the K-ON! release flickers at specific points during playback. According to Anime UK News, this issue has been seen on the following players: LG 4K Player, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One X and Xbox Series X.
Additionally, Anime UK News reports that for other Blu-ray players, "Rather than displaying the corrupted frames, instead it slows down, speeds up, or skips the frame entirely for a split second before resuming the scene normally (the audio remains unaffected)." Anime UK News reports that this issue has been seen on the Panasonic 4K Player, the Panasonic Blu-ray Player, the Sony 4K Player and the Samsung Blu-ray Player.
The first TV season of K-ON! was broadcast in 2009. Based on kakifly's four-panel comedy manga, it was directed by Naoko Yamada and scripted by Reiko Yoshida, as was the second series and the film.
Sentai Filmworks previously described the original series:
Being late on the first day is exactly what you'd expect from Yui Hirasawa in her freshman year at Sakuragoaka Girl's High School. The number of clubs fighting over her to join up is decidedly unexpected, and Yui has no clue which club to join: she's not very athletic and knows next to nothing about the liberal arts, but she's determined to do SOMETHING this year. As luck would have it she discovers a flyer for the Light Music Club, and what she thinks will be a carefree ride down easy street suddenly gets turned up to 11 when she finds out that in order to join, she needs to actually learn to play an instrument! With the energetic drummer Ritsu, extra shy bassist Mio, and piano prodigy Tsumugi, it'll be easy to bring her skills up to speed before the Light Music Club gets the axe, but it may take a few licks to get these four new friends in sync and ready to rock!
