The 21st of August is Ritsu Tainaka‘s birthday – she may only be the second least popular K-ON! girl, but this has not stopped her otaku admirers from celebrating her birthday in typically extravagant style:

I like the vivacious character that is Ritsu,... although she has some quirks that will unboubtably make her the first of the gang to get frumpy in her 20 somethings.
Its sad but true, Ritsu will the the first to be an over-weight woman, once her youth begins to ebb.
Next could either be Mugi or Yui.
As Yui who has no mature direction in her future, could well be a plump pumpkin once her metabolism matures (she is the one that loves to eat food the most, right?),... Mugi is a sweet girl, but when she grows up she will undoubtably find a man that makes her content with the universe, then she'll have a bunch of kids, and before she realizes it she's just another chubby heiress, because unlike a certain other heiress - Mugi is very intelligent and sophisticated beyond her years. It is possible that she could be an active mom that keeps her figure, since she doesn't really have to work a career. Her folks are loaded aren't they and she has no sibblings that we know of.
Mio - probably won't get fat, so you Mio fans ought to relax. Its her character and quirks that won't allow her to get that way, Mio is the type that even if her music career doesn't take off, she will be a dedicated attourney or scientific reasearcher. Coz she's that kind of girl.
@Artefact
would it be too much to find an artist that might do a rendering of the girls, when they're older and frumpier? For the lulz of course, just don't take pics of your ugly neighbors. We all have ugly neighbors.
o.o
Happy Birthday Ritsu .
Get a life, Pal.
same for you dude !!
when you are doing same things :p
feliz aniversario Ritsu^^i'm from Brazil....and some Brazilians like K-on and Ritsu.......
Im amazed all over again...
The Japanese cake industry is growing strong :D
Ritsu is my favorite. Just seems like a cool chick. And when she played Juliet? Nice! Lose the headband!
>second least popular K-ON! girl
Artefact, I believe you made a mistake, I'm fairly sure Ritsu is the second most powerful girl ;3
90% of the pictures in this site are from 2ch yet everyone bitches about that site so much, pathetic.
I don't think that they understand what 2ch is.
They might think 2ch to be discrimination ideologist's gathering because of a foolish inclination report of this site.
Well, then Artefact may not be writing as much of an "inclination report", because what you mentioned is pretty much true. The significance of that fact is underwhelming, however, since Artefact is just as guilty of it as the majority of 2channellers are.
I wonder if Fujoshi celebrate bishonen and shota birthdays the same way? Or are they more secretive than otaku?
A Heiwajima Shizuo or Hei's birthday party would be really interesting :P
wow....that was a lot of creativity there....for such a....nonsensical event.
Ritsu will be more popular if she let her hair down~
Ritsu has a Facebook page!!!!!!! join to celebrate her B-Day :D
Ritsu has a Facebook Page join to celebrate her B-day UPLOAD LOTS OF PICS!!!!

Vapid as I find K-ON to be, I am intrigued that Ritsu and I share a birthday.
OH Ritsu~
I can't wait until Alter makes a figure of her. I'll be able to finally complete my desktop band <3
The birthday cakes for these parties always seem so detailed. I know that I couldn't put effort like that into a cake, but I suppose that's why it'd be store bought...
I have the same (SteelSeries) mouse pad.
second least most unpopular? who is the least?
By some simple deduction, it is Mugi.
Yui and Mio always top the popularity polls.
And there is no way nekomimi Azusa is being ranked last.
#29 the gang at tea time nicely made.
誕生日おめでとう!!~
damn that's alot of dedication :)
Happy B-day Ristsu though ^^
the most popular K-ON!! character is... AZUNYAN!!!
The gif is soooooooooooo adorable!!! Happy Birthday Ritsu! X3
wow cool
so beau....
I understand Ritsu's a character that people can immediately take a liking to (or at least she seems like as I've not seen K-ON!) but don't these otaku think this is just a little silly?
My favorite.<3
Wish I had more Ritsu merchandise so I can join in the celebrations. Well, changing the wallpaper in her honor will have to do for now.
2nd or third most popular?
I can see why some think she's a fav depending upon your preferences.
She's the most tomboyish of the lot. Didn't Mugi-sama mention that Ritsu would of made a wonderful boy?
In this instance, Trap doesn't apply, although she does have that trap appeal.
Now its just a matter of "tiem" until some artist starts posting Ritsu with male genitlia.
Sooner or later Ritsu will be gracing the futa section of the gallery.
^_^
I just hope its tastefully done - not just more bad exagerations of typical pecker-girls.
sighs
YAY! She's what now, like 18?
Today is my Grandmas birthday.. if that means anything to you otakus..
If she is a drummer it does. ^_-
If she's a drummer and she drums on a silly song like "Rice Is a Side Dish" then she would be the coolest grandma ever
thing about anime characters who aren't real, they don't care if you forget or remember. cause they're not real
Thing about anime characters is they won't literally mind whatever and whichever way you celebrate their birthdays, people can always assume that the girls love them... unlike most real girls who'd give you the kick even after you spent 90% of your fortune for her.
How do they always find out, when the anime figures have their "birthday" ? I never found these strange informations on my favorite characters. Guess you have to be hardcore otaku for this ~
Ritsu will always be #1 in my heart! HAPPY BIRTHDAY WOO!!
Happy B-day Ritsu-chan, your're absolutely the best~!!
Dōmo shiawase to ganbatte, ne~? x3
Man, just imagine how many birthdays otakus got marked on their calendars... I'll bet there's a website to find them.
And how'd the one guy get Churuya versions of the characters?
The heads on the nendoroids have a similar mould so you can swap any of them whenever you want.
luv your avatar!! XD
nice thing to find out during your own birthday lol.
Lycopene x3
Happy Birthday Ritsu
I want to see this anime advance at least until they make it big.
...On the other hand, Kakihurai, and the voice actresses for the anime, probably are already sick of seeing his work becoming fodder for lonely otakus and somehow being associated with them.
I know I'd end my work if it contributes to otakus's dysfunctionality.
you mean the hordes of otakus werent part of his plan?
it wouldnt take a genius to realize that a work of this caliber would attract those moe-hungry monsters...
rice
is
a dish.
Only yellow fucks eat rice.
well i prefer to do it than be the typical fat ugly american fucker
Yea right, you American-wannabe Indonesian.
I'm an australian who lives in indonesia. I live in kelapa gading, I got a job there.
