A brand new television commercial for KyoAni’s massively anticipated K-ON!! sequel aired overnight, teasing anxious otaku with the welcome sight of some excellent quality art, feeling like an improvement over last year’s show yet lacking any radical art design changes.
The CM came in both 15 and 30 second versions, which were soon uploaded online, but unfortunately overly aggressive copyright protection is causing the videos to be taken offline shortly after they come up.
In any case:
Player 1
Some screens:
The text on this screen reads:
Starting April 6, every week on Tuesday
Late-night 01:25 Scheduled Broadcast
(First episode only scheduled broadcast at 01:29)
The ad appeared on station TBS, so naturally the time given is for TBS’s broadcast dates.
Other stations will begin airing the show at later dates.
These last two images come in a higher resolution along with a good amount of blurriness, but at least show some more scenes of the Keion-bu gathered together on screen.

I like how TBS/Animax is getting the video removed from Youtube/Nico/whatever. It's not like they'd benefit from lots of people viewing their commercials or anything, keep that shit under wraps!
I didn't knew it was possible but this commercial made me deslike K-ON even more
My...that was...exciting....
i
I really hope that they use the "U & I" song that Yui writes for one of the songs this season.
Finally! Although I wish they played the OP/ED instrumental like they did with the other CMs in season 1.
Must know what the songs will be like....
SUUGOOOOiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!
K-ON! Season 2 FTW!!! Hopefully there will not be any elements regarding like Suzumia Haruhi Endless 8.... Or i will bleed from my eyes and ears...
I am excited!!!I am excited!!!I am excited!!!I am excited!!!I am excited!!!I am excited!!!I am excited!!!I am excited!!!I am excited!!!I am excited!!!I am excited!!!I am excited!!!I am excited!!!I am excited!!!I am excited!!!I am excited!!!I am excited!!!I am excited!!!
Please, God, no 4/3.
True, I don't want nightmares of Mugi getting cut by the screen again.
It seems that the BRS anime will come out in April too... Guess it's a busy month :P
Woot! Can't wait. April 6th. Gotcha!
OH GAWD I've never seen a more moe door.
Is that a Mr. Saturn look alike I see?
GODS HEARED MEEE YEAAAAH YUI CHAN GUITAH! looove ! moemoe kyun!
their feet don't look deformed this time!
I'd be extremely excited if they'd actually play music instead of moeblobbing tea xD
I am waiting for it's 2nd season!
My best birthday present (l) xD
this looks actualy the same as season 1
infact I thought it was part of one of season 1's episodes.
The animation sure has gotten better.
fucking bitches with their little hands!!!!!
i hate em
You sure this is season 2? looks alot like season 1...
Endless Eight!
Hopefully it gets better from here, but adding a tuba player gives me doubts about that.
Why can't i see this article from the main page?
Happy Birthday Quen!
Better eat Caeks and drink tea instead of smoke!
Congrats!
Thank you Ichiro, although I have to wonder who told you that!
You...
This is relative to my interests.
+9000
This is also privy to my interests.
YES! YES! YES!
MORE MIO, MOE, and YUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Come on April, BRING IT ON!
Where's the new pink haired girl?
read the manga there is no strange pink girl in K-on :p
There are no new characters announced. As I understand it some idiots who couldn't even read Japanese incorrectly reported a "design-a-new-character" thread on 2ch as a real announcement.
I confirm
they're making one on pixiv too
The pink-haired one got rather high popularity for some reason and pics of her started to spread around, hence the confusion among people who can't read japanese or just doesn't even care about verifying the source
there aren't 'funny hair colors' in K-on anyway
how about less k-on season 2 and more lucky star season 2.
+!
i seconded!
How bout what's the difference?
+1 for lucky star season 2
How about less moe blobs and more Full Metal Panic!
how about less fail comment and more KyoAni's non-troll anime?
Something's not right here...
NO U
never heard of the word take it easy.
Agreed on Full Metal Panic. FMP is so good, I wouldn't mind giving my (currently nonexistant) son a 20-gauge shotgun for christmas, if it meant getting a new season.
Oh, you
Huh? I don't see any difference in art quality.
Well, at least its in HD def, instead of the painful first broadcast episodes in 4:3.
I thought K-On was in blu-ray... tv airings are moot.
*season two*
The original was made in HD. It was just broadcasted in SD 4:3.
I think Quen is learning how to do sarcasm with Artefact XD
I didn't think it was sarcasm. Actually I still don't, taking into account the way it was phrased with a detraction afterwards.
But this IS Quen we're talking about, after all. Knowing his insane level of detail from earlier posts, maybe he sees something we're all missing.
I was not being sarcastic in this, nor in any other of my posts in recent memory!
My sarcasm circuit doesn't work too well, I'm afraid.
Re: the image quality - I was thinking specifically of a HQ Nico video I had seem earlier that was eventually pulled.
Perhaps it was clearer there than in the YT one shown here?
Oh, haha. It makes me feel like such a dick when I don't get other people's sarcasm since I do it all the time.
But at least Artefact's sarcasm is blatantly obvious...
Quen is trying to learn Sarcasm! But Quen can't learn more than 4 moves. Delete a move to make room for Sarcasm?
MOAR K-ON!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
MOAR K-ON!!!! MOAR MIO-CHAN!!!
AH-HA!....Yui is still a Spaz! I can't wait to bust a nut to some new Mugi-chan action. I started devouring porn of Risa Tsukino (who plays Tsumugi in the TMA "K-On!" title) and c'mon who off course Tsobomi (Mio) is HOT....I'd even fuck Ritsu at this point.
I need 3-D Azusa!!
In all honesty, though I have no specific favourite ~ I am looking forward to seeing all the girls once again...
Hmmmm... and I am also curious on the (actual) real cost/real-brand name of the real-life counterpart of the Tea Set this time around...
Hey now... we all want to know about these small details.... ;)
On every Tuesday 01:25 = Wednesday morning doesn't it? Japanese television times are different right? Please excuse the ignorance.
try checking your timezone for more details
Well that depends on where you are as well. For the West Coast of USA it'd be 11 hours ahead.
Sorry I should have wrote my question better. I can do the maths in regards to the timezones no problem. What I meant to say was that in Japanese television time, does Tuesday 01:25 actually means 01:25 Wednesday because early morning Wednesday is still part of the Tuesday TV broadcasting schedule strange as that may be? Once again excuse my ignorance/confusion. Thanks.
Late-night TV schedule times do get confusing.
Friday at 01:25 is what we would technically refer to as "1:25AM on Saturday morning", i.e., very late on Friday night.
I seem to have jumbled the order of the image in the post with the airdate time on it as well, arg...
@Reizo: From the bar underneath the dates which highlights accordingly to what times you are viewing. Yes I know Keion is there at 01:29 I did post the link to refer to it afterall but if you tried scrolling the schedule abit the 01:29 belongs to Wednesday. The "Tuesday" 01:29 is actually AKB lawl.
@Artefact & Quen: I assume you guys are based in Japan right? So just to confirm finally once and for all even though now I'm almost fairly certain, it does mean Wednesday 01:29 right. I want to try out that Keyhole program. Yeah isn't it notorious over there that some TV shows will start at times beyond the 24 hour clock eg 25:00, 26:00 because of the unique format?
Thanks.
At Anonymous 23:53:
Sorry for a late reply, I didn't notice this.
I've been out of Tokyo for some weeks now.
But yes, technically "Wednesday morning at 01:29AM" is the correct time.
Other ways of putting it would often be referred to would be Tuesday night at 01:29,or Tuesday 25:29.
It should be easier to think of it just as "very late on Tuesday night".
Wouldn't it be easy to just stay up on Tuesday and see whether they air it that day? If no K-On is being played: go to bed, wake up midnight next day and wait for the inevitable airing.
1:25 on the 24-hour clock is 1:25 AM on the 12 hour clock, if that's what you're asking. So it'd be on very early Tuesday past midnight.
It's a legitimately confusing issue. It's even worse here as they have written "late night @ 1:25" rather than "25:25" or whatever, so it's not very clear which date they are referring to.
Wait, where does it say that the broadcast day starts at 4 am? There's Keion! right there starting at 01:29.
Sigh. Yes I know how 24 hour time works as well. But what I want to confirm is that Japanese TV have their own unique times in regards to their broadcasts? According to this http://tv.yahoo.co.jp/listings/?detail=1&gcode=0&cal=0&span=6&type=normal&category=TV&date=20100406&mitai=1&page=0&starttime=25 [http://tv.yahoo.co.jp/listings/?detail=1&gcode=0&cal=0&span=6&type=normal&category=TV&date=20100406&mitai=1&page=0&starttime=25] the "broadcast day" starts at 4am and ends at 4am the next "real" day meaning that Japan TV broadcast Tuesday 01:25 actually means Wednesday 01:25 real time.
Is it a standard in Japan to air new anime early morning like this? Or K-On!! have becoming ecchi? Wait, NOOOOOOOOO!
Yes Celcius, this is normal.
The only anime you (likely) care about in the slightest about that air earlier would be the top shonen show such as Bleach.
For example, even Code Geass' first season aired around midnight, something that was unpopularly changed for its second season when it was moved to about 6PM (5:30?).
Probably all the anime you watch, save a few top programmes like Bleach or Naruto, is aired in the middle of the night. That is the standard slot for this kind of anime.
Yes that is right, there are some shows that are simultaneously aired here and at Japan. It's always late at night no matter what genre.
Ah, Azunyan. Her supreme moeness flash-evaporate every cell of my body. MOE POWER MAXXXXX!!!
In another news: What is so higher resolution about the last two images? Looks kinda same,IMO. If anything, i think someone took a snapshot of his TV for the 2nd last image.
still looks ugly...
More Mugi is always good~
"...which were soon uploaded online, but unfortunately overly aggressive copyright protection is causing the videos to be taken offline shortly after they come up."
Protecting the copyright on their ADVERTISING?! Are they fucking retarded?
"Are they fucking retarded?" - c'mon, it's K-ON!!!!!! >_< That your statement is their marketing strategy.
Great, can't wait for it ^^
