"Bass-wa Watashi"

Every single note has to be completely accurate! I've noticed that tabs online had a good tendency to be incorrect...

This is especially true with the songs from K-on!; there's official score books but they're actually pretty far off on a lot of stuff (not just on the bass side), meaning they probably weren't transcribed by the actual performers. Unfortunately most of the tabs that exist on the net now are taken from those official score books.
 
really? I can understand it for features like Kung-Fu Panda and the likes that use a lot of Computer generated graphics, but, for anime, is the animation/Special Features that much better on Blu-Ray?
Well, to be honest, I haven't compared any new animated movies/shows on blu-ray vs dvd. But I do know that the difference in quality with older animated movies (like older Disney stuff) looks much, much better on Blu-ray.
 
I can see it with Disney considering it is done with their older catalog. However with the animation style of K-on. I am not sure how well it would trans-late to Blu-Ray. The show generally does not show lots of detail except for a few scenes. The Instruments in opening sequence is really the only time i can think that HD would help. However, I am probably wrong.

Kyoto Animation has really beautiful artwork, I think any anime they work on is worth getting on blu-ray, especially Clannad/Kanon.
 
Here's a side-by-side comparison of the lossless HD broadcast and Blu Ray versions.

Click to enlarge, and you shall see that you'd be missing out on quite a lot by not going blu ray!

*disclaimer: I got the pics off of sankakucomplex, and I have no idea if the broadcast screens were tampered with at all.
 
I am not disputing that Kyoto Animation has or has not beautiful artwork. I agree they do. Looking at the side by side comparisons. The Blu-ray is sharper. \

Why not. It's only four dollars.

P.S. Excellent Choice using Mio as the Example.
 
Finally, as promised months ago, my band doing "No thank you!" live:

YouTube - K-On!! "No Thank You!" - Koj

Sorry I don't look much like Mio! We'll try to do the full version at our next gig, with our new sax player doing the opening guitar riff. This was at a hole in the wall bar that only had one working mic because most of their mic cables got stolen, which they realized 20 minutes before we were supposed to start. Lots of fun anyway! Got a great crowd reaction too, as it always does. A few people asking what language that was.
 
Thanks! She doesn't always hide in the shadows, just at that gig. She had a hangover so she probably wanted to avoid lights in her eyes. Didn't seem to affect her singing any, though.

I might not play a Fender Jazz but at least I play left-handed like Mio, right? That's gotta count for something? Haha, OK, maybe not.
