pls, geez, don't compare this to k-on.
it's on a different level than k-on. k-on is way better than this.
the only thing i can see in that pv is only one; "cute"
that's all. nothing cool, nothing feels nice with the song unlike k-on.
but that doesn't mean a bad thing. i just don't like it because that's not what i want to see in band especially girls. k-on/ HTT is a perfect example for a girl band. not only cute, heck i don't even see it as a cute girls playing guitar,etc, all i can see was cool looking girl playing guitat,etc as a band. there is cute stuff in it but it more cooler rather than being cute.

tho, i will watch this series but i don't think i can give a 9 or 8 score.
let's just see who stupidly will be making this series....

instead of this, why not kyoani make a short series of k-on about what happen after they all graduate and what happen to azusa since the manga has a little continuation of it.

My post was a joke....I guess the point that I was trying to make is this medium is now being over saturated with musical slice of life shows but I don't really care since I enjoy 99% of musical slice of life shows out there.

Needs more yui or some aliens to beat down.

This is okay, some anime songs don't even break 1K, the song needs more rock.
