K-ON! fans watching the well received but slightly nondescript school comedy anime Hanamaru Youchien managed to identify the most blatant of cameos, with Yui and Azusa appearing.
Zoom for those not possessing the out-of-place character radar 2ch apparently holds to a man:
K-ON!’s characters seem ideally suited to become generic background characters in other anime, so doubtless this is not the last cameo they will provide.

For some reason, Hanamaru Kindergarden struck me as a children's show. Did I miss something?
Yui and Azunyan night dating in my Hanamaru Youchien ?
fukken win
Because that is what talentless dimwits are truly good for, nondescript background.
You've got a day-job to do. No time to post here, get back to work slacker!
Yui, Azusa, L, Light, Misa Misa.
for some reason i thought they were comming out of the alley from the recent ova.
God-damn K-ON, infecting every corner of anime, good or bad.
GAINAX FTW
shit how can i missed that???
thank you
lol i screenshotted this when the episode came out. I wanted to send it to sanakaku for lulz but I didn't know how.
good catch. i missed it.
Neat. :l
Hell yeah Hiragi!
What, I didn't really realize they were there.. Now they just need some Mugi cameo and it'll be good
Mindfuck.
When you see it you'll shit briks.
I believe this is her second cameo.
Congratulations Yui!
If you guys wonder why Mugi wasn't there, she's currently doing her part time job serving the Platoon #1121...
I thought it was Miyuki-san with blonde hair coloring
Now that is really cool! If its not the 2 from K-on its their identical twins!
She probably got lost on the way home with that confused look on her.
Other than that, she came to check on the moe-fication. ^^
God knows I love Hanamaru.
She was too lazy to read the map.
I like how it looks as if Yui has that dumbfounded look she always seems to have.
It rather looks like Yui is staring straight at the viewer (knowingly), what you would call breaking the 4th wall..
I suddenly remembered SZS's tsukomi episode, where there's a "natural" tsukomi host on TV but was really "aware" (can't be boke'd) all the time...
that was funny.."its all calculated...Haai"
but I remember that screenshot, but I just ignored it..."through life"
They are everywhere >.< its an invasion!
Indeed dude.
Yeay! I hail our cute invaders!!
Everyone, pick your shield, take shelter, and call in the pedobears.
I'll take the frontlines thank you.
that show is too shitty even for pedobears.
And the woman in the pink/purple business attire is actually Mio.
And the "guy" with the brown hair and suit is actually Ritsu in a suit.
K-on invasion complete (though Mugi is absent...).
Yes.
Mugi is just outside the screen like always.
eating/selling Takuan.
yui: so....this is what it's come to.....
Azusa: yep...........we're mere background cameo characters now *cry*
yui: such is the life of characters who's show has ended
*slump*
more like:
yui: WAKANAI~~ ~*hug Azu-nyan*~
yea i was like "OMG!"
while watching XD
was wondering if anyone else noticed :)
I didnt lol i never notice the subtle things like this.
They want to learn the cosplay secret from the cosplay master Hichan
Can't believe I miss this.
Only makes Hanamaru Kindergarden even more awesome.
LOL Gainax-->

What episode is this?
I love little references like these.
Lol thats good.
You call this blatant? This is small potatoes compared to the Lucky Star cameo in Kannagi.
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2008/12/07/blatant-kannagi-lucky-star-cameo/
Anyone watching the episode knew that was coming so I think that had to be blatant. This is more subtle, and it's just two characters. Didn't think GAINAX would make references outside their own anime though.
Or Miku's in Sayonara
