K-ON!

Wait, there are people who watch anime other than mine? I guess you can talk about them here then...

Episode 11 sees Ritsu decide she doesn't like Mio making friends inside her class. She becomes so worked up by it she rage quits practice and gets herself sick.

The opening sequence was pretty funny, but also kinda fail as its just the re-hashing of the Mio-falling-over-pantsu joke, except now Azusa knows all about it.

Why is she so embarrassed? I find this another example of moe-failure where the animators are just cramming in every cute expression they can, whenever they can.

Next episode: Yui is sick (*yay* for creative story telling!). Tis the final episode of the series as well.

xsirhc is just a hater.

He wishes haruhi has as much moe as Mio.

Stop living in denial. The ONLY good spawned from haruhi is TSURUYA and you know it.

:3

BTW why is "British English" the only language available when you're signing up? If there's only one, why have an option in the first place? Why is there no "egg omelets" or "Chewbacca speak"? And why is it British?

Also, the confirmation codes were SO hard to read. My retardation may have contributed to the THREE LOLfail attempts but surely I has some cheezeburgurz?

No, just no Chris. Here are some fun facts for you:

1. Tsuruya martial arts >>>>>>>>> Mikuru beam.
2. Tsuruya fang >>>>>>>>>>> Mikuru breast mole.
3. Tsuruya laugh >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mikuru anything.

Hence, when you solve the above equations simultaneously, the answer is clear. TSURUYA wins and will trump anything.

I have yet to see S2. Haruhi was good when I saw it, and probably would have been on my WATCH-THIS-8796213847963214-TIMES list if S2 came out in good time (and if it were a good season).

Be sure to catch up when the second s2 ep is subbed (in the next few days, i believe) or I may just have to step on you. >O

Huh? I don't get it, are you some super dictionary that converts egg omelets to Chewbacca speak? Sadly, no. You and Xor may share this lament.

Seriously, I think a bot would have a better chance at getting it right the first time lol. We shall simply have to hope that's not the case, then. At least until the next forum software update.

Shame the Tsuruya martial arts is wholly uncannon (for better or worse). The rest I agree with, however.

I, personally, am a Haruhi+Yuki guy (you'll see why when s2 comes into it's own). Actually... that's a lie. I like me some Kuyoh moar, but I have a feeling you won't know who that is.

canon means reference to the official media right?
Aint the haruhi-chan episodes official media, coming from Kadokawa? Therefore tsuruya sugoi martial arts is canon...?




ugh....when it comes to the tsuruya vs mikuru...you know me too well there, sloth...

the fact that you have maid cosplay tsuruya on your shelf tears me up inside...

Gotta agree with that. Wouldn't say Tsuruya was the only good thing that spawned from Haruhi considering she was in, what, 4 episodes?

Canon means the original media. Basically meaning the books. Haruhi-chan was more of a side-story parody thing... In any case, they should put Tsuruya's martial arts in the books anyway. That'd be awesome...

I guess it's a bit unfair to say TSURUYA was the only good to spawn from Haruhi. However, she's the only one that I continually to like.

Aya Hirano was good for a while but I'm over her now (not that i don't still like her, of course. I do enjoy a bit of the odd girl now and then.).. Haruhi herself was ok I guess but like I said, I don't wait for 2D girls for 3 years, no sir. You know, after joining this forum, I watched Haruhi for the second time ever yesterday and yuki's beginning to grow on me. From what Chris has said to me S2 is Yuki's season =3 LOVE-LOVE.

And Panda:

I was inferring that Chris is a failure who bashes a good anime, doesn't matter whether you agree k-on is good or not, the fact is - Chris is a n00b. Always was one and always will be.

Anyways if you haven’t seen this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ7Ss-mZhhE& go watch it. I had it on repeat for like a month.

How do you hyperlink in a post?

as if i'm n00b, that comment doesn't make any sense. A bad anime aint worth bashing? Waa?
Sloth, read the previous posts. i loved this anime (K-ON) and it just got more disappointing with every episode I watched. besides, you told me you haven't seen K-ON! yet, waiting until after exams, ne? Whats this about re-watching haruhi? Watch K-ON! in its entirety before undermining my opinion, maybe you'll see my point before I call you a hypocrite..... :3

Not that I could tell you much about the last few eps. =p

Oh, in the last ep Yui gets well but forgets her guitar and they have a sob session on stage when she gets back.

There's singing though :3

The anime isn't really that good. The only things that kept me watching it were that it was (loosely) about music and the fact that I liked Ritsu. Other than them things, I didn't really like the show. I'm guessing the only reason for it selling so well is because of the lack of other anime out this summer. And the other good anime the Japanese might have relied on's gone all crappy on them and us... If Endless Eight wasn't really 8 episodes long I don't think it would have sold as well.

Re: K-On!

Post by Kei »

Well, I've been giving K-On! a second chance, and I've found it to be a fairly average slice-of-life anime. This is both bad and good: on the one hand, it handles the typical slice tropes in a competent enough (and occasionally funny) fashion. On the other hand... the plotline is very cliched, and displays the same shortcomings that make slice a weak genre overall. Oh, and the art still sucks.

Ergo, thus far I consider it a "meh" series... neither good nor bad. Perhaps it doesn't deserve all the vitriol it has been getting, but it doesn't deserve much praise either.

Ritsu is awesome, though. As for Mio... I think she's overrated.

So how do you spend a beautiful Saturday morning / afternoon?? Why sitting in front of the computer and marathon watching K ON!...

Well It was interesting and fairly predictable... I felt as denied as I was when I finished Lucky Star... There is an opening for more episodes, They still have that Big Concert Gig to play... As Ryoko said there could be more development in the Plot and Characters.... As far as the animation goes it's not fantastic but it's not horrible either...

The cat rates this as a Five Scratching Posts....

*Zero posts = I haven't found a Zero yet!*

*Ten posts = Heaven, only thing that's better is unlimited Catnip.*

As far as bands go I have a bit of experience in those. My friends usually sat around talking music and then decided to finally play it, so some of those scenes in K ON! are believable .. Just replace the Sweets and Tea with appropriate Adult Beverages and Snacks...

On a sadder note, one band that a friend formed of 6 strong, only one survives this day... The future is so uncertain, like it was said in the series, live today to the fullest....
