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.
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 …
??? That sucks! Mugi needs more screentime!… This time in the center!
why you do that to Mugi
More unfairness and rascism on poor Mugi.. :<
