For those of you already watching K-ON! or thinking about it here’s a little something cool for you. This is an 8-bit version of the ending song from K-ON!, its awesome in all its retro glory! The 16 bit animation of the song is extremely well done and quite faithful to the actual animation, at least as faithful as a 16 bit animation can be!
