Don't Say Lazy Live Action

I actually liked this and thought it was quite interesting. I dont think it would have been like the ED if they tried to be more lively - is good as it is.
Original version ED below.
Empire version ED below.

Errrr............. what do you all think after watching it?
I feel..................... lazy..................
Well, the video recording was alright, but the problem appeared to be from the actress.
They need to be more energetic, this song is to express not to be lazy, but this MTV really give an opposite reaction............ OTL

Hmm just wondering, the girls picked to play the characters don't seem very motivated...
Its really mind boggling that they would put in SO much effort in everything... and do crap in the acting... hmm. I don't get it.

If the live action ED doesn't seem very energetic, it's only because the anime ED, which it is based on, isn't energetic to begin with.
I'll just chalk it up to the difficulty in translating anime to life.

I usually don´t have anything against Live version of dances, EDs and whatnot.
But this just didn´t feel nice at all. Like they only did it knowing that they would be on the internet and many would look at it.
Given that I think they should hav tried a bit more to be more energetic instead of just lazy. I think that would have been better.
Otaku ^^
Point taken. It seem that they don't really cared that they will be criticized by the fans out there.

Gotta give em props for at least trying what nobody else would have done. Although it doesn't seem to be a hit with everyone, i say it was close enough..HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAA....:P
People could go on criticizing about this video but a good question to ask is "Would you have done it any better than them if you dare??"

I don't mind to be the director... At least it will come out with more lively expression.

In fairness, the 4 eggheads seem to be also bored in the anime version. :) maybe the live actresses needed more emotion instead~
lol at the Trooper version too~ xD

Guess I'm soft hearted. Tis hard for me to shoot holes in someones effort. Looks like it was a fun learning experience for them. It's not easy to get on stage to bear your strengths and weaknesses for display to the world. Believe me, I know.

Disappointed!!! Even for the fan made music video.
The cameraman should do a bit of a director's job to direct the actresses to show their emotion and expression during the video take. The cameraman skill in getting the right camera angle is poor. The special effect is quite good thou. I give 2/5 stars. Can be improved.

Danny, my favorite part was when you were dancing without your helmet.
Hey, where'd you learn how to dance? I envy you.
You should totally make a video with some happy hardcore music. Would totally fit with your dancing style.

Rather boring and not lively at all.

It did seem like they were a little lethargic at first but after watching the original again, it looks like the 3d girls did everything that the 2d girls did. The 3d girls just didn't have the benefit of a all those fancy animations going on in the foreground and background.

It's all about the eye-movements with Mio, and live-action Mio's eyes hardly moved an inch. They don't move their bodies much in the original, but there's all kinds of little micro-movements going on in the shoulders and face that the live-action version missed out on.
... and then there's Danny.

I like the idea, but thought it was performed rather poorly. I did not get the sense that these were the girls. There was no life. It doesn't even look to me like mugi is even playing the keyboard. I would love to see this done in live action with a little more heart in it someday. Maybe though this video will give others who can do it better the idea to actually do it. I love girls. I love performing girls. And I love the K-on girls. This video didn't do them justice. Still though, it was a nice effort. And yes, great cosplay. Perhaps Mimi will be down for a remake of this video?

I think they should be just a little bit more lively....it seemed very.....lazy?

The actors look a bit "closed"(or uneasy?) if only they can be more "open".

Nice activity though.
The girls aren't pretty, and they deffinately were lazy during the recording of this, I couldn't even bring myself to watch 1/4 of it, it was that bad.

In response this that Danny stated above:
"I actually liked this and thought it was quite interesting. I dont think it would have been like the ED if they tried to be more lively - is good as it is."
I respectfully disagree. I feel they could have at the *very* least tried to sing along/mouth the words properly like the girls did in the animation. n.n;
