I wish I had done this too.
I have rewatched K-On! thrice by now but I can never rewatch it for the first time again;_;
A girl falls in love with a girl.
Unable to girl, she is girled by a girl with the girl's girl. Never girling the strange girl, she immediately girls her, and is overgirled to girl out that she has a girl on her as well.
But, the next girl, when she girls the previous day's girls to the girl, she only girls at her with a girled expression. After some girl, she girls out that the girl she girled is not the same girl she girl in girl with. In fact, she doesn't girl in this girl at all. She is the girl's alternate girl, who has girlen in girl with the girl's own girl, who too is blissfully girl of her girl.
Girls ensue as the two girl up a girl to girl each other their darkest, most private girls in order to girl the other with the girls they need to girl the girl of their other girls. While the two girl their respective girls, GIRL girls as they girl to girl in girl with each other instead and girl the NATURE of GIRL.

The girls thought she had a boyfriend but it was a meeting with Mio's original fan club leader for some university books. However at the end of the chapter Ritsu clarifies that she would tell Mio first if she ever gets a boyfriend and if I remember well she also said something about getting one around her 30s. lol

The first season is miraculous also. Its only real flaw is egregious sidemouth. The animation goes off-model all the time and it's objectively the peak of Kyoani's creativity, before they mastered Horiguchi's style and copied it exactly forever and ever.
>want to reminisce about Keion!

>>138307440
Yeah, S1E13 hit me so hard. About Madokas, I guess we can only relieve on doujinshis, just like Azumanga Daioh's Remake doujinshi.
>>138307716
It's a shame 90% of Madoka and K-On doujinshi are yuri, or futa at best, which lacks the psychological thrill of girls falling for boys

I agree, I think people give it a hard time. It absolutely nails what it was, which was a 4-koma adaptation. And then they threw us a curveball with season 2 and gave us something much more atmospheric and emotional. Its one of the best examples of how to do a second season I've ever seen.
>>138308269
I wasn't a moefag before I tried watching K-ON! then by the end I was completely mindbroken. It hooked me with the lively comedy plus some plot. Once I was lulled into the routine I was able to fully and freely cherish every episode of season 2 no matter how uneventful or less funny it was. Both seasons were necessary to facilitate my growth as a human bean.
>>138308269
I think the second season owes a lot to the first as well. Big part of it is thematically oriented around nostalgia and the concept of graduation, and I think the switch from happy-go-lucky Azumanga Daioh clone to happy-go-lucky but also emotionally investing and contemplative works to that purpose. It involves the viewer; we feel the same nostalgia that the girls do because we saw their carefree first few years firsthand. Graduation means a lot to us because it's moving on from all the stuff we already fell in love with. Really, I think the series is the best it could possibly be without doing like a full 60 episodes.
>>138308588
Part of how I see the pacing/length of each season is that in 12 episodes you go through 2 full years of school, but in the second one it's 24 episodes of only the last year (discounting bonus episodes)
It reminds me of not appreciating what you have until it's gone/nearly gone, in a way, and this also ties in to your point of moving on from what you already fell in love with, and the happy-go-luck vibe of the first season vs. the emotional invested vibe of the second.
>>138303319
So what do I do once I'm finished with this and have post-keion depression
>>138310681
Read the manga. Anthology serie is also quite nice.
>>138310681
>>138310747
Don't read the manga, it's supreme shit
Just find another moe SoL and find one soon. You should probably check out Kyoani's other stuff, it's good most of the time
>>138308970
I know what you mean. I suspect the breakdown of the timeline was an accident more than anything else. I don't think they were expecting the first season to be so popular, but I'm glad it worked the way it did.
>>138310681

>>138310913
>Just find another moe SoL and find one soon
K-On is the best SOL though
>>138310920
Agreed, if they extrapolated the show out to say, a season a year, it still would have had the same amount of success; I don't think they needed Azusa for it to be so popular, core 4 would have done it just fine.
Of course, I have no evidence to back up this claim, as I didn't watch it when it aired, and don't know what it's reception was episode by episode when it was airing.
>>138311173
This. Even the background Keions for being so supportive during all of HTT's concerts.
>>138310681
download the ost and read the manga
>>138311406
Azusa is necessary for the group dynamic, especially after Mio chills out.
>>138311406
Azusa's one of the most important characters though. Having a viewer surrogate and a character to leave behind upon graduating makes the climax that much more satisfying.
>>138308007
I envy these guys who go way beyond owning the figs and merch.
>>138310681
Download the music history box, buy a figma of your favorite girl, then rewatch it once or twice every six months.
Also, don't forget to put yourself on the map.
>>138311462
>>138311553
(I guess I should have worded my post differently, I wasn't talking about not having Azusa at all, just 1st season)
I completely respect Azusa's contribution to the group/show, and am not trying to downplay it but I think (going off my hypothetical season-per-year) having another 6 episodes without her in the 1st season would not have detremented the show's success initially.
>>138311755
Also, learn an instrument, even if you're absolute shit.
>>138306975
At first I didn't care to much for Yui but at some point during season two I begin to like her a lot. She is not only very innocent and cute but her voice and design match her personality very well.
>>138311825
I was 100% sold on Yui after episode 13 in season 1. Like I always liked her as a character but that's totally her episode. Everyone else is going through various crises but Yui is the one who remains constant and is able to bring everyone back together again via the power of marshmallow curry or whatever the fuck she was on about.
>>138311814
And my eyes go to the electric guitar I bought.
I swear I'll learn to play it properly one day.
>>138312000
K-On! inspired me to pick up my guitar again after having given up on it for nearly three years. Now I play almost every day. Just go learn Fuwa Fuwa Time, like right now.
>>138311814
>started playing bass and stopped before I even watched K-On
>inspired me to try to pick it up again, but don't have time
Maybe I should again, just for a little every day
BEST GIRL
>>138312061
I have cero musical talent but at the very at the very least K-on made less judgmental. Because I might be missing something great just because I refuse to try something new.

All keions are best but Ritsu is the bestest.
The manga's certainly worth reading if you were impressed by the anime. It helps that you can read each volume in about half an hour. It only begins to suck after volume 4 past where the anime ends.
It's interesting not to notice the differences but to see how the entire story is all there, crammed into 4 short books with 4koma pacing. You can appreciate both how much it was expanded for TV as well as how the manga doesn't dillydally too much and moves along quickly. I find the manga better than Gochiusa, which has 4 volumes and has barely moved forward from the beginning. The pace is relentless in K-ON!
The college arc demonstrates how easy it is to fuck up the natural group relationship when the cast bloats. Kakifly did right when he neglected to add another freshman during that golden opportunity when the girls were in their last year trying to recruit new members so that Azusa wouldn't get left behind. We wouldn't have gotten episode 24 and the movie if he bloated the cast like so many other writers do. There would have been some gay ass handing-over-the-baton life continues message instead of the bittersweet mono no aware passage of time and the importance of making happy memories feeling.

>>138313426
My problem with the college manga is that it feels more like "HTT meets The Girlz" but the other band is forgettable. Besides Akira I literally don't remember the other girls names or looks and the only reason I remember Akira is because she is such a blatant Azusa ripoff.
Jun.
>>138315003
It's March.
>>138314555
Same for me. I can at least remember the names of the new characters in the Wakaba Girls arc. Sumire is another ripoff, Mio's personality in Mugi's role.
I thought Nao was a good character though. There was no nerd who played the laptop before her. The only success out of all the additions.
>>138315003
Jun in a good girl. She fun, is nice to keios and is sexy too.

>>138315380
While I don't have don't particularly care to much about Nao I can agreed that is the only new character that had her own role and was neither boring nor a keion clone.
Is a shame the manga ended like that though. I think the college manga should had focused more in the original 4 until the glorious day when they are reunited with Azusa instead of adding boring characters and their pointless back stories.
Azusa clearly missed the girls a lot. Always talking about them, calling Yui and resisting the urge to go see them because it was her responsibility to make the club succeed. There is no reason to believe she would not chase after her friends them after completing his work as the club president or for them to not welcome her back.
>>138317772
>Azusas not allowed
>>138317972
She might hate it but she does look cute like that.
When there's too many characters in a show, and it tries to divide time between them all, one of two things usually happen. Either their personalities start to disappear or they'll be distilled to their signature trait until they're a flanderized walking gag.
Keions are great because they don't fit into designated permanent roles like boke or moeblob or tsundere. Even during the first season, so there's no excuse if other shows don't pull that off. It just has good writing.

Bought dozens of plush, prizes
Bought the soundtrack, live concert bluray
Keep watching out for Aki's va roles. Can't accept how lewd she can be. So hard to boner for Yui.

>Visited the K-On school. So awesome and worth it. The merch shrine is inspiring.
The Sakuragaoka is an annual Moe pilgrimage to the K-ON high school, and a mandatory religious duty for Moeblobs that must be carried out at least once in their lifetime by all adult Moeblobs who are physically and financially capable of undertaking the journey, and can support their family during their absence. It is one of the five pillars of Moe, alongside CGDCT, Healing, Toast, and Cake.
It's true, all of it.

Yui is basically a failure of an older sister for Ui. At the same time she does a respectable job of looking after Azusa. She's a helpless airhead in the beginning but there's a few points you can see she grows more capable. Like the talent show while studying episode; she pulls both things off and also mistakenly borrows sugar instead of soy sauce in the same episode.
The manzai roles are pretty fluid. Ritsu might get slapped by Mio then later shiver at Mio's girly lyrics, or do retorts for Yui. It's more of a joke telling method rather than character archetypes at that point.
I've been postponing watching the movie for 6 months. I just don't want the ride to end. Fucking hell.

Indeed, this is a scientific fact. I think many people who haven't watched the show are familiar with it too.

リツーーーーーン！！

Nice taste. I also like the Pleasant Despair which is not a song but a BGM but I like it. Is the one that plays during the sushi bar scene.
I can't hear that sound without thinking of the song by Jason Mraz now

Araragi would be jealous of this.

Poor Mio. Some girls are just meant to be bullied.
>>138326509
Please do not bully Mio
>>138325935
>Yui, you can't act so be a tree
>>138321971

I didn't know I wanted this until now
>>138317772
Yui trying out for the Tree Stooges?
>>138325935
>>138327653
Mio is pure sex
How many times was Yui dropped on her head while she's young?
>>138322400
Shieet, black people is cute.
>>138327893
>Ok, this one will probably not urn out smart so let's make another one and try not to drop it
>>138327893
>>138328252
stop
>>138327893
Yui a smart! She got accepted to college!
>>138328252
Maybe they should consider adding one more since the young one turned out to be a complete doormat
>>138328428
>Implying Ui didn't dress as Yui to pass her exam
>>138328428
What is quotas for tax breaks
>>138328459
>>138328507
You need to have faith! Yui is a personification of being able to do anything you can set your mind to!
>>138327653
> But I don't want to swim in pussy tonight nor ever.
Being Ritsu is suffering.
>>138328428
Everyone's going to college now! It no longer means you're special when you're going there, unless you're a Yui of course
