Go Go Maniac & Someone Else – Best OPs This Season

Posted by Neko Kyou in Thoughts on May 2nd, 2010

First of all, what’s with the “!!” this season? K-ON!! and Working!! both uses it, and they’re also both the topic of this post today…

K-ON!! Go Go Manic is definitely the best OP this season – love the 360 camera angle even though it freezes when I try to play the HD version of the OP on my PC (need a damn new PC just to watch anime smoothly)

The ED is top notched as well, but I feel it’s not on the same level as Don’t Say Lazy.

Working!! has a very catchy OP, and I swear that it reminds me of Azumanga Daioh’s OP!

(video link updated 13 Nov 2011, old one was removed and could only find this low quality version)

I showed it to a few others and got the same reaction. Does it remind you of Azumanga?

“Don’t Say Lazy” Live Action

Saw this video on dannychoo and couldn’t resist to repost it.

I know they were trying to imitate the nonchalant expressions from the animation but it didn’t pull off quite well. They just look plain bored and lethargic.

K-On, I Misjudged You…

My first impression of K-On wasn’t very good…

I enjoyed the first few episodes, but had a few doubts.

I thought the animation quality was poor for a KyoAni production and that the show was only held up thanks to Mio.

I was naive…

K-On turned now turns out to be one of the best the season had to offer and is my favourite this season. In the end the animation style turned out to fit the show almost perfectly and while Mio is still the darling of K-On, the rest of the cast had proved their worth too.

I can’t really decide whether this is a good thing or not because they had to cut down on Mio’s screen time for Azusa and Ui… Oh well.

The K-On club performed Brush and Ballpoint Pen and even more Fuwa Fuwa Time in the last gig. Can’t really complain about that but I was actually hoping for a Don’t Say Lazy finale.

But with a winter special extra episode coming up, it may not be too much to hope for a new season to do just that. After all, they’re all only 2nd years and one first year. There’s still a whole full year to go before any of them graduates and series like this often goes all the way to the final year.

WE NEED MOAR MIO!!!

Kudos to Sawa-chan sensei for finally breaking her!
