K-On! Movie Pre-Review
Hirasawa Yui is my spirit animal.
Hirasawa Yui is my spirit animal.
Update: The big problem with watching any K-On! is that their songs are terrible earworms. I now have Rice is a Side Dish stuck in my head.
(Couldn't find a clip of them actually performing this song, though they do it once in the TV series and again in the movie. This is the movie version, where Yui does an unscheduled One more time! and the other girls go Whut? but manage to jump back in.)
My favourite has to be Listen, the season 2 first-half ending, featuring cake-fairy Mio:

Took me a while to watch, because it comes between episodes 22 and 23 in season 2, and I couldn't remember how far I'd got in season 2.
So I started from the beginning...
Having seen almost all of it now, I'll say what I said before: If you like Yui in episode 1, K-On! is for you. If you don't like Yui in episode 1, it's probably not.

I've read a scanslated version of the K-On! manga at one of those "free" online manga sites*, and I thought Yui was tolerable in moderate doses--a bit like Tomo from Azumanga Daioh in that regard. Is her latent annoyance factor higher or lower in the anime? (For comparison purposes, my favourite member of Afternoon Tea Time is Mio, but my favourite character of the entire manga is Nodoka, who in turn is similar to Yomi from AzuDai.)
*As an aside...yes, I do feel like a dirty pirate, and I have half a mind of making what Steven den Beste would call a guilt buy. How good is the Yen Press translation of the K-On! manga?

The characters are pretty much identical in the anime; they didn't fiddle around with that. But KyoAni really hit it out of the part with the production quality of K-On! Everything about the show is exactly right, and it makes the story so much better.

Very. Better than any scanalation of the series I've seen.
...my favourite character of the entire manga is Nodoka...
I have her figma... along with Mio, Ritsu and Azu-nyan. Don't believe what it says, the guitars don't come with straps. Easy to make one out of the vinyl off a three-ring binder, though.

Nodoka is great. She's the backup "only sane man" once you realise that all the girls in the band are crazy in their own way. (Mio is the sensible one... Oh. Mugi is the sensible one... Oh. Azu-nyan is... Oh. Sawa-chan... Oh.)
