I’m absolutely adoring those Goth-loli attire the K-On girls are wearing in the ED. At the best of times, I’m not really a fan of the goth-loli look but this setup with them on their instruments really took my breath away.
The episode 1 of the anime was out a few days ago and I just got round to watching it. Episode 1 for most anime tend to be rough around the edges due to introduction of characters being slightly dodgy as well as slight plot exposition and this series was no exception. However, I quite liked this series with its idea of 4 high school girls forming a band. Its quite funny and doesn’t take itself too seriously, which is a good thing after you are totally tired from the stuff you are doing IRL.
This light musical comedy series reminds me slightly of Haruhi Suzimiya and Lucky Star, which isn’t that surprising after you discover that the trio were all animated by the same firm – Kyoto Animations. The character designs in K-On is pretty good though, and I pretty much think it can only go up in terms of watchability and entertainment.
The 4 main character: the very enthusiastic Ritsu on drums, the mature and calm Mio on bass, the rich and friendly Tsumugi on keyboard and the definitely ditzy Yui all have a large dose of moe-ness attached to them and they attract their own (and sometimes similar) fangroups already. In fact, the Mio fanboys have the largest population now and they are currently raging around the interweb disputing with regards to their newly-found queen so its pretty entertaining to read about them.
Anyway, K-On looks like it will be a fun ride and at least I have a ‘replacement’ series now that Tora-dora is over. I have finished the first 4 chapters of the manga version of K-On and I can say the fun will continue at least until episode 4, which is where the standard fan service, bathing / onsen / beach episode will occur with the cast in their skimpy gear. Maybe some Queen’s Blade will suffice until then, eh? ^^

wierd but I come across this blog looking for small other things. probably means that this page has visibility for a keyword that actually doesn’t seem to be appropriate to the content I’m reading in your blog
Yes, this post does get a very disproportionate amount of hits. I’m going with the theory that its due to the word “loli” being used a few times in it. Never underestimate the pedobears on the interweb! ^_^
Hey! I enjoy your site but I’m having trouble getting it to show right in the Camino browser. You might want to recheck your stylesheets. Word!
Hi, thanks for your feedback. I just tried displaying the site on Chrome, FF, Safari as well as IE (from 7 onwards) and they all looked fine to me. I then turned to Google to look for a solution and here’s what I found =>

website scripting problems:
I’m afraid not much can be done about this. The modern web is just not tailored to old(er) hardware and older browser rendering engines (the version of Gecko used by Camino 1.6.x) is quite a few years old.
If a hardware and/or OS upgrade is not possible, then there is not so much that can be done anymore. You could try disabling Javascript (Preferences > Web Features), but that will probably render a number of sites equally hard to use or dysfunctional. You could also give Opera 10 a try. That is the only browser with a more modern rendering & scripting engine that is more adequate to the modern web, and it runs on 10.3.9.
