Eh, when MLP is a kid show that also appeals to an older audience, K-ON! is a seinen anime that also appeals to young girls, if that makes any sense... Essentially K-ON! is a show about regular cute girls doing cute things. It doesn't try to teach kids life lessons or anything like that.
I love the look of that shirt.
Ritsu became happier, is that from an ep? i dont remember.
kawaii-tastic.
need to find an anime con to wear it to now.

It's from episode 25 in K-ON!! where they're trying to make a recruitment video for the club.

I'd link to the guy's pixiv gallery, but it's not exactly wholesome...

Sure.
He has a certain fixation on Azusa, so you'll probably like his stuff more than I do.

I watched 2.25 episodes of MLP. I think that's enough for me.
Oh yeah, lol!

"Floofing" sounds like the name of some horrifying velveteen-rabbit-based sex act.

Yip yip.
This is amazing. So much hype to watch the movie.

K-ON! 14
I'm starting to see where the the opinion, that the original episodes are better comes from, particuarly here. Even though episode 12 could be classed as the closing episode of the first season, I feel that this draws a much more comprehensive line under the proceedings. The school concert was certainly more reflective (at least in the case of Yui), but I felt that this was altogether more sastifying as a spectacle.
The prospect of their first genuine performance defenitely gave it the air of a proper finale, and I appreciate that they continually looked to bumble their way through the night. It was a nice touch that made sense, especially as this is the first time they have performed outside of their comfort zone, essentially having got by until now, as big fish in a small pond.
A slight bugbear of mine up until this point, had been that the show was all too aware of how unlikely that the band's ability seemed (something which Yui mentions at the beginning of the series). And It was conspicuous, precisely because you are are beaten over the head with the fact that the light-music club pretty much get nothing done, for the most part. Yet, they somehow manage to rise to the occasion. That kind of plausible deniability reminds of Haruhi, which simply made mention of many pre-existing tropes, seemingly so it could just invoke them, regardless. But I digress, as it was nice to see this episode actually reference it.
As a finale, I also just thought it worked better in pulling together the whole cast. The school performance felt like a backdrop for Yui's story, but this felt like it incoprporate the collective group much more effectively. Mio's realiziation that they have all grown since they all came together was a nice encapsulation of this, and actually serves to (neatly) underline the events of the series .
Maybe this is a pointless endeavour, but I fail to understand why some try to undermine the series by calling it...er, pointless. I can see why some wouldn't like it, but its far from aimless, and it's the interaction of the characters that renders almost all of that irrelevant. I'm doubt I'm saying anything new here, but I just wanted to express why it is that I have ended up liking this series so much. It simply establishes a breezy pace, and from then on you are left to inhabit the world of the characters.

I guess that means that I've finally reached the fabled land of series 2.

The anime is kinda weird in the fact that they play really well, but afterwards the characters say they suck at it, something that the manga never really had to deal with. But yes, the Live house episode is a much better ending to the first season than the second year school festival episode was.
I honestly thought they would ignore it, the entire way through.

They tend to do, especially in the 2nd season, which it's probably better for it, even if it is a tad unrealistic. The manga tends to bring it up a lot more.
This is a scene right after the second school festival

But you're Sentai...
oooooooooooook
at least you tried, thats all i can ask.

im biased having seen the anime first, but the softer and cleaner look to the show is better than the art of the manga. Mios eyes look mean and dead, and everything looks sharp and intense, it just looks off.
also i found this:

I'm still debating whether or not to watch this. On one hand I watch Yuru Yuri which I'm told is similar to this but I prefer Yuru Yuri's art style over K-On (from what I've seen) which is what's keeping me back so far.
It's a dilemma to be sure...

Atleast to me it is, shutup
Yuri!
Sure it is....
Just make sure to pop yourself on over to AnimeGAF, if only to make sure you get an equally biased opinion on both sides of the spectrum!
Personally, I found Yuri Yuri to be very scatter-shot, its dedicated to its comedy, but that's all it has. Unfortunately, that was one aspect that never really hit home for me.
K-ON! is just much more earnest and likeable, in my opinion.

Well, I haven't started watching YuriYuri yet, so I'm not really sure how similar they really are. Billiechu likes both shows, so she could probably be more of help.
If you like cute girls doing cute things, there's not much reason you wouldn't like K-ON! Maybe it's just me, but I don't see how the two styles are really all that much different from each other, but I can't really force you to think otherwise. K-ON! is cute, well animated and really fun to watch.
....god bless you fellow K-ONites!
Best community on GAF.

I meant to go back and check Yuru Yuri, i watched a few episodes of the first season when it aired, but it didn't grab me. But to be honest, i actually don't remember why.
You should definitely check K-On!. Starting with the first season. Check the first few episodes and you'll quickly know if you like it or not.

At least up to episode 4. That's when the show really clicked with me and continued to be awesome. The run of episodes 4 5 and 6 are the best of season 1, and season 2 just gets even more awesome!
Last anime I watched was the dub of Panty and Stocking which was a minute ago. Been playing Persona games for the longest and now I finished FES and 4 I need some slice of life in my life.
Just noticed the tits as you posted it. Swear, I actually thought that was Azunyan.

Real K-ON! fans can tell the girls apart by eyes alone!
I actually spent less time on FES than P4. I finished P4 first and put about 110 hours in it and only put like 80 in FES. I thought FES was supposed to be longer, lol. Either way, shit you not I beat both within the last week of June til July 30th. I spent all my free time after work doing my 'sona thing.
I wish they made a K-ON! Arena fighter.
My eyes are reserved for Yui, Ui, and Mugi only.

Sega should just get off their asses and make a sequel to the game they already made.
You talking about Houkago Live?
They need one for the season 2 tracks.
Conflict would be....
