It's been a long time since K-ON!! but finally
K-ON! (the movie) has seen our shores. So in its legal form, K-ON! (the movie) will take another year to reach here. Come on
Sentai and hurry up with the official US releases.
To catch up with the girls from Hokago Tea Time, it's Mugi, Mio, Yui, Ritsu, and
Azu-nyan doing their whole lot of nothing on a trip to London. But we also get to see them craft their song for Azusa, which is the best part.
The movie operates as a bridge from just after the Blu-Ray only episode 27 and takes us right to the end of their last day at school, episode 24. The girls decide to go on an after graduation trip, and use their pet turtle, Ton-chan, to decide where to go. It's London just in time for the Olympics! They get into cute situations involving revolving sushi and Otokon in London. Yui spends lots of time thinking about the song. Azusa fears Yui is yuri. Mio watches circles. Mugi does as Mugi does. Ojo-sama. Ritsu? Not so much buchou as buchou!
Loved it. I miss their antics and thank kami-sama, we got a last few episodes. Yes, it was just like the show. Not too much and the small thread that kept it together made it bittersweet. There was some more music, and Death Devil was there. Sawa-chan-sensei rocks! Where's my normal Sawako-sensei nendoroid in full Death Devil garb? The played some music: in London, twice, for their classmates in class, and for Azusa.
I guess I am going to have to save this to iPhone as well.
Fuwa fuwa time!
4 of 5 stars.
The animation was great too.
