omg did someone actually call k-on! a loli show? oh heavens have mercy on us.
facepalm.

Yes I can deny it, they don't look like loli's at all.

A bad picture, is hardly representative of how they look in the anime. Just look at the covers for the 1st and 2nd seasons.

And now we watch as when it comes out, the otaku will come in droves, picking up maybe multiple copies.

Time to sell maybe 40,000+ copies total?

I think this calls for a K-ON dance party.

AWESOME NEWS....... MOE <3... MY BODY IS READY.....

God, what I wouldn't give to be able to dance like that.

This summer vacation is going to be awesome

Finally..
I'm very patient to not see the spoiler, camrip version or whatever just to wait for this. Two or Three more months, I'll be waiting.

I'm going to have to agree, you don't know what looks like loli. =P K-ON! is not remotely lolicon. "Lolicon" does not mean just "features cute girls under 18".


Oh no, go much much higher. 100k is guaranteed. Haruhi Shoushitsu sold over 134,910 (as measured by Oricon; Kadokawa reports over 200k shipped total) and K-ON! is all in all a more popular anime than Haruhi, and the movie grossed literally twice what Shoushitsu did. Even the Nanoha 1st movie sold 103,953. K-ON! will be at least at that level before it's done.

New movie of my favorite anime? *squeel*

Good, I've been wanting some K-ON love recently.

Yay!! Its my birthday!! XD Got to save money for this.. :D

40k? It'll probably do like 150k at least. Movies always sell better.

Never understood the fascination with K-ON aside from the characters. Even then, I only really liked Azusa. All the other girls were too autistic for my taste, especially Yui.

But that's like saying you don't understand the appeal of sex outside of the physical pleasure and emotional intimacy. That is precisely what there is to understand.

Phenomenal KyoAni production values and catchy music don't hurt either of course, but K-ON! is all about the characters and their interactions with each other. Obviously there are many many people who don't find them "autistic" as you put it, and like more than just Azusa, or else this never would have been so popular.

K-ON is ABOUT the characters though. It's the king ( Queen? ) of slice of life imo.

As for your autistic comment.. this truly confuses me. I don't think you know what the word means.

Since points are a direct estimate of sales, yes. If the algorithm were completely perfect (which it isn't of course, that's impossible), 1 point would always = 1 real sale as reported by Oricon. As it is, estimates are usually relatively close though, so it's not bad.

So if during its release week a title has 7,500 points, that means it's been estimated to sell approximately 7,500 copies.

Of course looking at the points now is really premature, as many of the titles have only been solicited 3 weeks or less. Some have not been solicited at all (e.g. AKB0048), or are unranked/unavailable on BD because of the Aniplex/Amazon dispute (e.g. Natsu-iro, Kimi to Boku and Tsuritama).

And a million years later we get the movie.
And we still have to wait 3 more months...
AND then it needs to get subbed (could be fast, but who knows?)

Subs will be out in 5 hours tops.
