Awesome. Now we can expect marketing in anime to double as a whole, and possibly triple in KyoAni shows.

K-ON fans continue to be retards.

Let's hope Mio jumps off a cliff in the last episode. Test everyone's dedication.

Yes, moe has everything to do with cattle-like behaviour flying in the face of reason and logic.

Come. Moe with me. MMOOEEEEE!!!

I rather really not see that... lol

But, really, buying something that you won't use it up to the 20% of its features is just stupid.

Its like buying an 52 inch LCD TV to play PSONE or megadrive...

Oh well, you don't need to be japanese to do that tho...

They all seems to have much money to do this.
But if Mio does have these kinds of thing, then she's got no reason to be surprised by Mugi's richness...
