The all-seeing eyes of 2ch have noticed a distressing number of instances where K-ON!’s Tsumugi is the victim of some unfortunate terrestrial TV channel “censorship”.
This is all presumably due to the varying aspect ratios between the standard and widescreen versions, but that likely will come as a poor excuse to fans of Mugi, and her delightful eyebrows…
The comparisons shown here illustrate the difference between the terrestrial broadcast version as shown on channels such as TBS‘ regular TV channel, and the 16:9 version from BS-TBS and other satellite channels.
The satellite screencaps are of a much lower quality than the terrestrial ones, but the differences should be obvious:

Poor Mugi!
Fans looking to supplement their needed doses of the wealthy yuri-inclined Mugi are encouraged to thus watch the widescreen version of the show, and of course there is more to see of her on the Channel.

What have they done to my Mugi.... T-T
This is Rascist!!!!
They should pace where the characters are standing right next to the cut off between the 2 aspect ratios... or either switch Tsumugi's and Ritsu's places >3
o_O" somehow I felt that Mugi has become a minor character.
Poor Mugi-chan. ._. Who was the culprit behind this??
I highly suspect Mio. >_>
Mio was jealous because Mugi looked better than her in those costumes from ep 12 so she decided to cut Mugi from the show :<
so Mio is the one who cut her out? :<
she's like the fifth Beatle.Four of them got all the rewards while she's just mere stand-in or even worse than that.
Hahaha, teh background girl. (´∀`)
\o/
UNFORGIVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I prefer version widescreem, I do no want see a scene not the poor mugi T_T
Eyebrows....
I think that the first shot looks better without her just because her expression is weird lol XD otherwise it seems silly.
fuck that! they should cut off azusa's annoying face not Mugi-chan's! >:I
More unfairness and rascism on poor Mugi.. :<

Poor Mugi
I will take my revenge to TBS channel
TT^TT Mugi-chan~ How dare they!
why you do that to Mugi
??? That sucks! Mugi needs more screentime!... This time in the center!
Outrageous.
This downgraded Mugi to a blink of a star compared to the other characters.
RAWR! Those bastards think they can censor out my Mugi from the episodes! >:(
the massive army of the Mugi Coalition will make short work out of those "fiends"
That's why we can't see Mugi recently...
TV censored she ...
Man i just can't believe this , esp now after i have appreciated her more from the last episode. =/
Mugi~!!
Now I have to wait till coalguys finishes widescreen episodes and then rewatch the whole thing.
I need moar Mugi! ^^'
I LOVE TSUMUGI-SAMA YOU CAN ALL DIE FAGS
poor mugi :(
Though I'm not a fan of Mugi. I do appreciate her cheerful, and cute face. I love how adorable she can be at times.
damn you TV :<
y haet mugi? :<
It's even worse than the "Clannnad Haets Nagisa" case..
Awwwwww poor Mugi-chan =(... I feel bad for her. I think it's no coincidence. she was cut out on purpose. Just like how in the ED, Mugi was the only one who didn't sing.
She gets the first line of that Tsubasa wo Kudasai song or whatever it is, though.
if you look at any of those pictures she is not the center of whats going on, if you have to cut something for a 4:3 then your going to cut out whats not important to the specific scene
The gif is interesting, she didn't get an additional reaction animation. What I mean by this is the yellow pop-up the rest of the characters have. Looks like they tried to add things after the FS broadcast.
Hmm ~
What I did (notice) about the GIF is that the rest have the eyes (smaller) closed... Tsumugi had hers open wider...
~ maybe a compensation?
Call me when they cut out Yui.
Mugi is so awesome. Glad the widescreen releases give her more screen time?
What can I say? I have a thing for developed, graceful ojou-samas.
"..developed, graceful ojou-samas."
I agree. She actually developed herself despite spending most of her time at the back with a poor amount of screentime..
Ithing watching the WS episodes seems like totally a new experience u get more mugi what's the problem with that
I'd say about the same treatment the "other girl" gets from Kannagi. What was her name?
Uhh.. I tend to forget.
Takiko and that "blind" girl?
It's Takako and Shino,but since he said 'other girl' he is referring to Tsugumi
Thanks for spoiling the joke..
Interesting ~
It seems (and appears) to me that Tsumugi (does) know what's happening to her...
(yes, I know, I know... so don't start with the "How would she know - she's a character for fucks sake" crap)
I mean, (if you imagine it and see what I am referencing to) her reaction(s) is/are similar to leaving a subtle reminder... of her saying..
"Hey" WTF? I'm being left/cut out of this scene"?
Indeed, clearly she wasn't making a delusional yuri expression in the first one. Now i have the feeling that she was also cut down in ep 12 during the scene when Yui hugged and tried to kiss Azusa..
i lol'd
Mugi is awesome, maybe it was too much for the terrastrial? :o
Poor Mugi, it's so sad when one of the main characters is always being shoved aside. I wish that this show was only in widescreen so that I wouldn't miss things when I first watch the episodes. When I was watching ep 12 I noticed that Mio was being cut out during fuwa fuwa time when Yui was being focused on. You could hear her singing but you could only see a small part of her head. I'm sure that she would still be in the shot if it was widescreen.
Tsumugi? Not a great loss. I can see Azusa.
This.
seconded
Bah gawd
You all deserve to go to hell
