A lack of focus on the part of the K-ON! animators appears to have given rise to same in Ritsu, for she new appears to have developed a nasty case of strabismus…
A surprising lapse from Kyoto Animation, though as animators are at best underpaid drudges it is to be expected.

I knew this was going to make it to sankaku the second I witnessed this in the episode.
Ritsu can count to potato.
Hmm, this is the first time I've bothered to use an avatar. Meh.
Lmao, poor Ritsu. I always thought she might be a bit special, but I never thought it would be to this extent. D=
Useless post, infinitely not worth my time
Funny how it's "infinitely not worth" your time, yet you still post a comment...?
Agree with this person
what's the big deal?
we watch anime not to find the graphic failures but to enjoy them
The "graphic failures" detract from our enjoyment of watching anime.
Agreed
just enjoy the anime
what's so good to find graphic failures?
episode 10 was very annoying when it comes to quality, *especially* when it comes to Ritsu.
and let's not forget about the oppai confusion.

K-ON! has QUALITY animation? This has already been apparent since episode 1.
Ah, so now we see what episode it was when all the animators started to move over to the Haruhi side of the KyoAni compound to help in crafting us our nascent deredere bookworm goddess.
Fufufu. I look forward to all the raeg and butthurt when they make their first animation flub on Mio. Shouldn't be long now. They'll be animating this show with crayons and Scotch tape by the end...
LMAO!!!!
It's the pressure of seeing her friends get stalked by all the fanboys.
And none for her.
poor ricchan hope they fix it in the dvd
Well KyoAni failed us but things like this happens most of the time iow when animators tend to catch up the deadline :3 I wish they fix this and desteam the bath part in the DVD release
Yip, I noticed this and wondered if it would be posted somewhere. Fail!
i wonder if they're relying on ppl like this who notice these things to know what to fix for the dvd/ blu-ray releases.
The moeness was to intense for Ricchan D:
Watching that gif made me lol XD
she's looking at me!
No, she's looking at my Konata boxers
Haha.. I wonder if the blunder in haruhi was true. They do seem to mess up from time to time.
that was shocking
It's for like what? 1 second? People don't have to be focused on the same thing throughout a whole conversation. Some people wander off slightly, it happens.
i think its fine @__@
Oh my god I can't stop laughing.
Maybe now ppl will realize KyoAni ISNT perfect.
We already knew that ever since they made Munto.
これはひどい!
Though I didn't notice it at all when I was watching the episode...
looking at it animated (in the show) it just changes slightly when she blinks after a Mio comment. maybe she has a lazy eye? :p
The cruelty!
stuart scott is not amused
Okay now......
That was just freaky. O_O
Blame the drumset~!!!
Or blame the lack of fan support in comparison to the Azusa & Mio Armies.
Personally, I like all of the characters. However, the one thing that's bugged the crap out of me is that Ritsu and Yui's hair looks too similar. Of course there are differences, but they're too subtle for my tastes.
Huh? How the heck does the K-on! fanbase effect Ritsu's eyesight.? I'm talking about how the arrangement of the drumset (since it has the left and right side) causes her to get crossed eyes.
And please, don't start a Musical Instruments Logic debate after reading this...
Well actually, I don't believe that the fact the the drumkit has two sides that Ritsu...
Ah, u c wut i did thar?
I noticed that at 1st time i saw the ep when i froze that moment to check if it was me or it was them.
I'm actually suprised how kyoto animation can accidentely fail it. Its the 1st time i see them do a fail. Well, there goes my Master Perfection Animation, but no one is perferct. I love their animation, and ill keep love it, regardless of that fail.
Btw, never thought this actually will be post on SC xD
they've failed a LOT during this series.
It's just because it's a filler series made to shorten the wait for haruhi 2.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is a moron. The manga stinks too. o-o
I agree. K-ON just flat-out sucks... more of the moe crap that the anime industry is trying to force-feed us in lieu of actually entertaining and intelligent shows.
Yeah I guess you're right. But I still love this site thou! ^_^
Are you new? This is Sankaku Complex's raison d'etre. Anything under the sun that is fodder for controversy is fair game.
*sigh* Why must little things like this get blown way out of proportion on this site? This incidence is far from an animation fail on KyoAni’s part. Although K-ON! isn’t quite along the lines of epic as say Code Geass, it is a good example of how current animes can be entertaining as compared to older series which all tended to relied on the same thing to entertain. Although a lot of the older series you listed were in fact great, I find anime in the more recent years to be far better off. Animes like Code Geass, Gurren Lagann, Spice and Wolf, Strike Witches, Macross Frontier, Black Lagoon; those animes actually entertain in a number of ways. And even thou there does seem to be an awful lot of moe anime coming out, I don’t dislike moe because of that, I’m just not really a big fan of it, however; there’s a lot more to K-ON! than just moe moe kyun~! even if you can’t see it. K-ON! is actually a good anime that can be funny and interesting but also happens to have super cut moe girls in it.
Why do you even need to compare K-ON! with those serious anime legends like NGE, Gundam Wing, Spikey Bebop, etc? Those serious story legends should only be put into a competition with the likes of Code Geass, Gundam Seed, Eureka 7, etc.
K-ON! stands more as the Chibi Maruko or Ranma 1/2 of the 21st century, so don't expect Mugi to suddenly pull out a giant robot out of her mansion and shoots beams on aliens or Sawa-chan revealing that their highschool is actually a secret military base..
Don't group Haruhi with those shows.
Oh, I'm not just talking about Haruhi. Remember Cowboy Bebop, Crest of the Stars, Evangelion and Gundam Wing? Shows of that caliber almost never come out these days. The quality of anime in general has been declining over the last decade, and K-ON is symptomatic of that.
Code Geass? Eureka 7? Neither one of those are great shows. Mildly entertaining, perhaps, but certainly not legends... and Gundam SEED was just horrible.
Ranma 1/2 had it's issues, but it was still infinitely better than K-ON. Instead of the absurd hilarity of shows like Ranma, modern anime has embraced an 'OMG MOE!' mindset. It's as if the industry expects us to love their shows merely because the characters are cute, in lieu of any actual interesting plots or character development.
I wouldn't go THAT far... it does have a LITTLE win in it ;_;
Well... 1-8 did.
Ryoko nickname, Ryoko avatar, Haruhi website..
Okay, i see why.. =w=
I'm a moron :3
yes, but a sexy one
FFS, ppl, she's just scaning Azusa's sizes... in robot style. (´∀`)
(´∀`)
Oh the cruelty!
hurf durf
Indeed, Extra Cruelty... but I don't care, I'm for Azusa.
eww... bad hair and even MORE broken personality than the others counteract the loli awesomeness =|
She's just a little Mio, minus teh scared.
Yui ftw. >=O
I didn't noticed that 'til now.
and I think my mind just exploded.
Poor ricchan... DVD version should fix this.
no! they should fix the "you know what" in the DVD version, I'm totally looking forward to it...
Please inform us. What is the "you know what"?
Rice bowl, duh…
In fact I don't know that "you know what" since no good fansubber made more than 3 episodes...
They're all ok-ish. I wouldn't doubt some are even highly proficient in Japanese themselves. However usually fansubs fail for either
1. Not having a good enough understanding of the Japanese language
2. Attempting to translate from a translation
3. Unable to express what they want to say in English even though they understand the Japanese intent
4. Attempting to modify the intent due to either personal bias or the belief that it would be easier for non Japanese speakers to understand.
The thing is, if you're not proficient in Japanese, you'll never know if they're good or not. Anything you hear is always hearsay on that topic.
So... any group will do if you fall in that category.
PS. I trust no fansubber but I pick them based on how good their source quality is. Its a lot easier then searching Japanese P2Ps for releases.
>love for Chihiro
OU
also... can't be a good fansubber if they only made 3 eps ó-o
So no love for Chihiro?
PZ-Subs.
Ugh..
I forgot to mention that I was talking about brazilian fansubbers... XD
As for being good, they sure are, but they have many projects and are lacking people, then they and up having lots of delayed projects.
=/
I could always download english subbed ones, but I download to later share with friends who are interested, but most of then don't know more than basic english...
>>The thing is, if you’re not proficient in Japanese, you’ll never know if they’re good or not. Anything you hear is always hearsay on that topic.
Except if the English subs themselves are unreadable. If it reads like Zero Wing's introduction, it's no good. I guess that it's usually that's not hard to tell if that's the case though. Just saying. :P
I would contend that no good (English, can't comment on other languages) fansubber has done fewer than seven episodes.
So Coalguys isn;t good? Only ones I would willingly touch.
As much as Ritsu doesn't looking forward
she looks surprised...
Little cats in her eyes.
stares back! o_O
She's staring at you..
Minami-ke 2.0 ? xD
more like Silent Hill to me...
Kinda creepy isn't it?
HAH~!! Saw that but never expected it will turned into an article in Sancon, lol.
Good Ritsu, you look kinda cool.
I don't care if she can't focus on me, I still love her.
Mike: Now suck my pen00, Ricchan!!
Ritsu: Which one..?
The candy one.
what?
derp?
Her face then splits in the middle to reveal an Alien JAW!
K-on, as directed by Guillermo del Toro.
"for she new appears..."
you lost me.
a new business tactic? decrease TV quality and DVD sales will likely
increase!
I notice alot of this in a certain Valkaryan anime...
Cross eyed...
oh shi-
I just watched this before opening this article. I didn't notice anything....
Why are you folks saying it was a fail?
This is SOO MOE!!!!OMG
You like lazy eyed highschool girls?
You can have them, I'll survive without.
xD I want to see this episode
Please don't sat you were lazy (eyed)!
Lmao, i c wut u did thar.
The next line somehow fits Ritsu's character very well.
