The greatest masterpiece of the past decade.
A perfect fusion of cute characters, powerful music and sharp animation all come together to make one of the most loveable and believable cast of characters ever comitted to film.Admit it, episode 20 and 24 made you cry
I almost fucking cried at the end, and I didn't even cry when my grandpa died
Agreed.
>>144062894
Episode 20 and their last performance were good but I think watching the credits at the end of the movie was the most painful part. Not only because I knew that there was no hope for more K-on but because part of me knew that it was for the best to end their story there.
>>144062894
I didn't cry, but god damn, it was something else.
I recently bought the BDs for both seasons and the movie.
I rewatched it all over a couple days and now I'm left feeling even more depressed than the first time I finished it all.
I also ordered all 6 volumes of the manga so hopefully they'll arrive soon and make me feel better.
They will won't they?
>>144067309
At least, until you finish them.
>>144067417
I ordered a copy of Houkago Live HD on the PS3 as well just in case the manga isn't enough.
Hopefully I won't want to kill myself after it's all said and done...
>>144062894
>>144062894
K-on is a really strange show. The first episodes don't really make such big impression, but little be little the characters make their way into your hearth. Their lives are not very exiting and nothing particularly amazing happens to them but the show as this familiar, warm feeling that draws you in. And it makes you happy but before you realize the end is near and you wish they could stay in that simple yet happy place that is the club room.
But they don't. They move on with their lives leaving you behind.
>>144067586
I forgot Houkago Live was also on the PS3. I emulated it a while back.
I think you mean a tedious piece of crap that's not even funny or exciting in any way and the most mentally retarded cast of characters in recent history.
But hey, you're allowed to like what you like, even though it's objectively shit.
>>144062894
If you were talking about Love Live S2 I could agree, but K-On was just mediocre.
>>144067798
*using PPSSPP.
>>144067818
>objectively shit.
Good bait, you had me going up till this point. 8/10.
>>144062894
I don't want to talk about 20 and 24
>>144067740
>But they don't. They move on with their lives leaving you behind.
This is sad. I want to know what happened to them.
>>144067688
Mio and Azusa are the only remotely authoritarian characters, Mugi is definitely on the libertarian side, more central
When's the K-On College anime adaptation coming?
Heck, or even just a quick TV special showing the girls as they are now, now that they're all 25.
>>144068019
Never ever. the college/azuna generation chapters are okay, but the anime ended to perfectly to keep going.
>>144068019
>When's the K-On College anime adaptation coming?
Never, Kyoani is done with the story and it ended perfectly anyways.
>Heck, or even just a quick TV special showing the girls as they are now, now that they're all 25.
This is maybe possible.
>>144067821
i rarely mean this unironically, but kill yourself
>>144068141
Have fun with your dead franchise while I continue to enjoy LL!
>>144068141
But he's right.
>>144067861
So until the very end? Wow, I'm pretty good.
Seriously though, the show is shit but what am I gonna do to stop you from gushing over it. Just saying OP has either not seen much anime or is a fucking basket case.
>>144068214
No, K-on is extremely good. You should probably watch it some time.
>>144067870
>>144062894
Episodes 20 and 24 are bittersweet. Episode 26 is just depressing with Sawachan caressing a picture of the keions and the girls leaving school for the last time with Fuwa Fuwa time playing in the background.
Ok Digi you can leave now.
>>144068350
Again, have you ever watched it? It's everything that people like about moeblob shows and more.
>>144068214
You know anon some times you just have to deal with the fact that people like things you don't like.
>>144068350
Is your favorite anime Sword Art Online or Mirai Nikki?
>>144068421
Not him, but I don't see your point. I watched and thoroughly enjoyed both K-on! and Sword Art Online.
>>144068566
For what I read in a few threads it went like this.
>Some e-celebrity that likes k-on talked shit about SAO
>SAOfags got mad and retaliated by taking their anger on K-on
>>144068745
These K-On threads have always blamed anyone who doesn't consider the show a masterpiece on some boogieman.
>>144069099
It's becauae no one who says the show is shit ever admits to having had watched it of offer any intelligent critique aside from name-calling qnd use of the word "kyoanus".
>>144062894
>of the past decade
You mean of all decades?
>>144069099
It was the other way around though. It was in a SAO thread that everyone that disliked SAO was called a moefag/k-onfag/Youtuber etc.
Now that I care though I used to talk shit about K-on until a year ago but after watching it I fell in love with the show.
>>144068399
what if you don't like moeblob shows
>>144068019
K-on cute christmas cakes doing cute cake things anime when?
the more life experience you have the more pleasure you can garner from watching k-on. if you dont enjoy it its because your frame of reference is too narrow. it is as simple as that.
>>144069497
1 year to go before the first 4 become cake.
>>144069549
pretty sure my grandfather wouldn't care for k-on either
>>144068350
Nah is the opposite. Many SOL shows today put more effort into the moe elements plus fanservice. Now I don't think that this is a bad thing because I also enjoy those shows but I pointed out because in K-on the moe is there but is not the main attraction in fact some people think that K-on is not as cute as other more recent shows. Also the fanservice in K-on is minimal.
>>144069642
he would. he'd care for it so hard.
>>144068214
I started watchingTetsujin28 many years ago but that never stopped from enjoying K-on.
>>144069559
They're all cake now.
They all turned 25 this year.
>>144069667
The gap IMO is between the ones that put comedy first (yuru yuri) and those that put moe first (Kiniro)
the former is generally better
How to cure post-keion depression?
>>144071438
More Keion.
As an anime beginner, do I watch K-On! or Texhnolyze first?
Thanks, guys!
>>144071485
But there isn't any more.
It's all finished.
Why do all of the multiple conclusions in this show feel so abrupt?
>>144062894
The Inuyasha ending themes are better than all the music in the anime combined.
>>144071575
Just watch more CGDCT. You won't run out.

both are shit shows

>>144072716
you have shit taste, then. K-on is fantastic
>>144067740
FUCK YOU
>>144062894
The cast worked great together. There were no great stereotypes. Every character moved on and touched the others lives. It made me feel for every single one of them when they left school. Shit was depressing.
>>144062894
watamote never had 24 episode it not right.
All k-on fan Should help watamote get a second season it right thing do.
>>144067740
That picture is so cute
How do they do it
>>144073570
The watamote anime was terrible compared to the manga.
>>144073764
man I dont know. the naturalistic poses plays a big part. the expressive faces. you've got mugi looking all serious and defiant, mio maybe laughing at that in a rare relaxed moment. ritsu has just run back from the camera, yui looking happy and pensive. there's a lot going on in a single frame.
>>144074177
Yeah it's fucking beautiful
And they do it with most art for the show, even the most recent official art we got had the girls goofing around to take a picture, it's adorable
>>144073786
watamote anime was little bit better than manga rewatch the anime again.
I know what i'm tailing about because I watch anime and read manga at same time.
>>144073786
Did you watch all watamote ?

How long have you been doing this man?

Every time some one call it terrible they didn't get the first 3 episode.

Ritsu during her Drummer episode was the cutest.
>>144074941
A lot of people all over the internet want a second season.
>>144075375
You just don't understand why people love it so much.
Watching K-On is a lot like making friends. You care about them more and more as time goes on and then you have to say goodbye.
>>144075264
year two class trip that would make a great anime.
>>144062894
But it wasn't the greatest of the past decade.
>>144062894
One of the best works in the medium.
Classic and Timeless
>>144075689
This. NNB is so much better
>>144075689
NNB is babby's first SOL. Only normals or shounenfags like it.

>>144075689
>>144075839

>>144075876
You first. What does K-Off have that NNB doesn't?
>>144075925
K-on has an actual story.
NNB is just about some kids in rural japan and nothing else.
K-on actually has dynamic characters that change throughout the show.
both are good though.
>>144076563
says the guy posting 3D shit
>>144075925
Keion had better OST, direction and animation. Aside from technical mertis Keion had more top tier episodes. S2 was essentially a big highlight reel of great anime episodes. Also Keion cast > NNB cast. NNB had Renge and Hotaru as good characters. All the Keion girls and Sensei were top tier.
I've gone the last 5 years watching tons of anime, but none have made me feel so many things like K-on. Even when I watch it again (5 times so far) it makes me smile even though I know what they're going to do next.
Recently went to Tokyo and they were still making buyfag stuff. Not much but I'm glad they haven't been forgotten in the sea of new moeblobs and school idols.
>>144076691
I don't think you can really compare them like that since they're actually very different.
>>144062894
I think you got the wrong picture
>>144067740
>When you realize that Mugi is canonically whiter than the rest of Keions
>>144077414
Hibike doesn't nearly have as much emotional charge as K-ON does. Try again phoneposter.
>>144077734
>Hibike doesn't nearly have as much emotional charge as K-ON does.
Not that guy but K-ON is literally just cute girls doing cute things. How can that have more emotional charge?
>>144077870
>K-ON is literally just cute girls doing cute things.
But its not. The girls develop and change throughout the show.
>>144077870
Because you're invested more in Keion than any other anime. Maybe except Tamako.
>>144076766
I watched a few minutes from the movie after skimming through this thread. My expression turned into a smile almost instantly.
This show is pure sugar, can't believe it still makes me feel this way.
>>144077724
Finns are white
>>144077734
Maybe not yet, and K-On took a while to get emotional
IMO Hibike just has way more believable characters and story, plus some actually interesting drama, plus music that isn't 4 chord cheap pop rock
>>144078811
>plus music that isn't 4 chord cheap pop rock
Fucking this. I don't get it when people say it has a good soundtrack. It's honestly below average.
>>144077301
Both have main casts containing four girls that do mostly mundane things with light comedu elements. The two shows aren't exactly the same but they are extremely similar.
>>144078874
but four chord cheap pop rock is exactly what teenage amateur rock bands play.
>>144079039
>Both have main casts containing four girls that do mostly mundane things with light comedu elements.
Literally every SoL ever
That also doesn't make them similar. NNB is more comfy whereas K-ON is more moe.
>>144079079
Yeah but that doesn't make the soundtrack better. It fits very well with the show but it's not really good.
>>144079168
>Literally every SoL ever
Yes, and most SoL are fairly similar.
>NNB is more comfy while K-on is more moe.
And both contain significant elements of both.
>>144079292
>and most SoL are fairly similar.
Not nearly all of them. A lot of them have different types of humor, some are more relaxing whereas others are more energetic, etc. Saying that they're very similar just because they're both SoL is pretty ignorant.
>>144062894
Why are the colors fucked up
>>144078874
Its not the songs themselves that's great, its the emotions behind them.
>>144079430
Having different types of humor does not make them so dissimilar that they can no longer be meaningfully compared. They still have significant differences, but not ones so large they fall into wholly different categories.
Also they aren't similar just because they are both SoL, but because they are both SoL they share a number of genre tropes. There's a reason genres exist.
>>144079283
Just because the music is simple in composition doesn't mean it can't be good either
>>144079730
The genre SoL isn't very specific. There can be a lot of differences. SoL shows don't even need cute girls or anything like that, it can be a completely different show. Also shows can have multiple genres besides SoL which makes them even more different.
>They still have significant differences, but not ones so large they fall into wholly different categories.
I didn't say that. But it's not like shows are very similar because they fit in the same category. That's like saying every action anime is very similar even though the plot is completely different.
I think it's pretty obvious if you've watched both NNB and K-ON that they're not trying to be the same thing, and they aren't.
>>144080024
They aren't trying to be the same thing, but they're trying to be similar things, using similar styles to evoke similar emotions using similar tactics. It's not just that both are SoL, if you removed all tags the shows would still be similar
We can call it the CGDCT genre if you want to be somewhat more specific.
Sawako is shit. I thought she was 40 already
>>144069667
>Also the fanservice in K-on is minimal.
I honestly can't recall any aside from post-production promotional art.
>>144071438
Take up an instrument.
>>144078811
>plus music that isn't 4 chord cheap pop rock
And here comes the faglord who doesn't know shit about music and composition. I don't mind you expressing opinions about anime that are plain wrong. This is the board for anime and manga after all. But could you please not be a complete fuckwit and reserve your utterly ignorant views on music to a shittier board like /mu/?
>>144079690
They have a whole song dedicated to rice.
>>144078811
>Complaining about the lack of drama in a lighthearted comedy based on a 4koma
And on top of that Hibike as yuribait out of nowhere meanwhile K-on lowered the yuri and fanservice from the source material making a show that attracted people of of different ages and lifestyles.
Hibike is a good show but it as its own flaws and is yet to prove that it can become a clasic.
>>144078811
>K-on is good enough for Jason Mraz but not good enough for a random anon
>>144083023
And one dedicated to appreciate the things you have, about the stress of becoming and adult, about their dreams, about love, about their friends, about how different their lives would be if they never joined the club and of course a few comedy songs about rice/kansai dialect and curry.
>>144083401
>whining about yuri
Eupho will be a classic as soon as the adaptation finishes. Deal with it.
>>144084125
The point is that K-on became a huge success that broke records not only in BD sales but also the OST sales. Their singles got platinum discs, and seven years later the show is still popular and is still featured in polls against multimedia giants such as LL. And is still broadcasted/marathon it on tv.
And all of this without relying on fanservice, melodrama or shipping.
>>144079283
Don't Say Lazy is still a better ED than anything in the past year, including every song churned out from Love Live. Prove me wrong faggot
>>144085052
No, Thank You! is better though.
>>144078811
>>144078874
What the fuck? The songs the girls play are supposed to be cheap pop rock because they are just members of a fucking school club but the rest of the soundtrack is perfect, it's one of the best soundtracks to ever grace that fucking genre.
Here is an example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=676dtYw2TJs
>notice it's an all-girls' school in the second last episode
am i retarded?
>>144085285
>The songs the girls play are supposed to be cheap pop rock because they are just members of a fucking school club
And yet they rock harder than some of the bands I've seen touring live. I'd see the girls live (the characters, not the voice actresses mimmicking the playing with absolutely no energy) than something like Truckfighters or Turbowolf.
>>144085052
Not the guy you're replying to, and I really like Don't Say Lazy, but I must still respectfully disagree with you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B3FNlZQbFs
>>144078811
Can you remember anything from Eupho's soundtrack that isn't a piece played by the band or that isn't an opening or ending?
I don't think so. Most of us remember and love most of the soundtrack of K-ON, though, not just openings, endings and the songs the girls perform.
I love Hibike but its soundtrack is far from being good, much less as good as K-ON.
>>144085326
no just hetero
>>144085774
To be fair, K-On! is three times the length and reuses a lot of BGM. I think it's great, yeah, but that doesn't mean Eupho's isn't too.
>>144075689
Non Non season 2 was a disappointment, they just animated rejected season 1 material. On the other hand K-On season 2 was perfect.
Objectively accurate SoL ranking:
God Tier:
Aria, Natsume Yuujinchou, Haibane Renmei, Hibike Euphonium, Maria-sama Ga Miteru
Good Tier
K-ON, Hidamari Sketch, Yuyushiki, Azumanga Daioh, Flying Witch, Tamako Market
Shit Tier:
Non Non Biyori, Kuma Miko, Yuru Yuri and similar shit
>>144086666
>comedy/iyashikei can't be as good as drama/romance
fuck off
>>144085052
Don't Say Lazy is shit
NO, Thank You! is god tier
>>144086666
>Hibike Euphonium
>SoL
>Non Non Biyori
>Yuru Yuri
>shit tier
The thing many people don't get about K-On! is that it wasn't a show about music, it was a show about friendship. Five girls who meet by chance and over the episodes grew a unique and irreplaceable bond. And it felt natural, their friendship wasn't forced, by season two you already knew they were best friends and were willing to do anything to help their friends.
The last episodes were brutal.
When they realize that wast their last festival.
When Azusa starts crying and begs them to not graduate.
When they sing tenshi ni fureta yo to Azusa.

It's not. It's not bad either but the characters are all flat and the show depends too much on repeated gags.
>>144089741
>repeated gags
I actually agree with this. I really liked the show but the yuri scenes were annoying as fuck
>>144087742
S2E4 is still my favorite
>this entire thread
The day after finishing my k-on blurays,
the depression still hasn't subsided.
I only like SoLs where there is some kind of progression, like K-ON, Aria and Natsume Yuujinchou (these anime have elements like characters being developed, new characters being added and the passage of time being explicitly shown).
Does anyone know more anime like that?
