Tired, sleepy...Work in 5 hours. Must go to bed.

Good night kongaff.

That's not talking, that's leaving! Good luck at work, though!

You watched Medaka before K-ON!, no? Then I'm not really that surprised you didn't catch it before.

Kinda... I watched the first few episodes back when it first came out and thought it was really bad so I stopped, but I got wrapped up in the manga a few months ago and started the anime again in March.

still didn't finish it

I've only seen the first season, and the only thing I know about the manga is hand-bra jeans.

Thanks Kazzy!

Exactly my point! Plus she's one of the only ones

that actually keeps her powers as an adult, how cool is that

yeah the first season was pretty pointless with the genre switch and everything

But the manga is better in most ways. Except voice acting.

And jiggling.

It was better before the genre shift.

I only watched S1 for the jiggle.

You can kinda hear her Chitanda voice when Ritsu tries to act all cutesy.

She uses a higher octave for Chitanda, which is probably why.

Aki Toyosaki seems like she has a lot of range, it's just too bad pretty much every show she's in she's using the same voice...

Aki Toyosaki is pretty much famous for being Yui, so it's not surprising that many fans expect her to sound like Yui in every role now.

That, and she speaks in a more elegant, feminine way compared to Ritsu's harsher tomboy speak.

Well yeah, most of the voice talent in K-ON! were pretty much unknowns before the show.
And yeah, I know she's been typecast as Yui, I'm just saying it's a shame that we don't hear more of her range.

 

[Emitan]

I need the manga now.

I still can't decide who is more <3, Chitanda or Mayaka! They're both so wonderful!

That was implied.

And I found it, and it's glorious!

Apparently, popular chiptune band Anamanaguchi had an open Q&A on 4chan's music board today because they have a new album releasing tomorrow, and among the questions fielded, one person posted a picture of the K-On girls and asked which was their favorite. Given the way they responded, they don't seem to actually know anything about the series, but their answer was

And all was right with the world.

Oh Grimmy, I'm not sure if The Shrine of Seven Days event sucks or not yet. It's only 24 hours but it will apparently reopen periodically. So maybe if it's available for a long time, opening every now and then, people can get enough talismans to actually get Jiangshi. Apparently 5-star demons from previous events have been appearing too so maybe this is supposed to be some kind of long-term thing where people who started playing later can get previous event demons. What does suck is 10 HP per investigate, you would have to level up a ton to get anything. I'm going to pass for now since I'm already level 62 and I don't want to level much more if at all until I'm done with Lady Suzuka's sealstone battlefield. I've gotten 2 of her mags so far, only 5 left! -_-

Neither is that always the case, and the elements I like about K-ON! are those which are firmly rooted in the minutia of everyday life. I'm a little apprehensive to term it wholly as "slice-of-life" because that can refer to many things, not all of them flattering. But judging be your comments, I get the feeling that we appreciate similar things.

&#9829;&#9829;&#9829;

K-ON!! gives a little more focus to peripheral elements (and characters), pretty much by virtue of being twice as long. Though I wouldn't say that is to its detriment. In fact, I'd probably say that it only improves on the formula..

That is my favourite part. I was always impressed with the care and accuracy put into things like the instruments in season 1. Even commenting on the (real world) infamous weight of Yui's guitar choice.

The earlier episodes are probably a little more crazy antics, but as the show goes on, it becomes increasingly more melancholic.

I don't know how I feel about melancholic. I just don't like maximum goofy all the time. I like things to be grounded in reality and sense. Humour doesn't work for me when you lose sight of what is normal. "Outrageous" is only funny when you have a "normal" to compare it to.

I think what she means is that even those that didn't like her much in the first season will greatly appreciate her more come the end of the second season, and movie.

Almost everyone hated her in the last thread. And it never made sense to me. Is there less hate in this one?

I agree, it's one of the many reasons why I like Mio so much.

Mio was my favourite before Azusa.

There was nothing wrong with your English then!

Thank you for the kind statement. But I know I was impossible to understand a year ago. But I have had much practice now.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

The people who "hate" Azunyan are just bitter that their Keion is so vastly inferior.

And yeah, she only appears late in S1 and doesn't do a whole lot. S2 is mainly about her and so she gets a lot more time to grow as a character.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

sawa-chan ain't inferior, you're just DUMB unknown

How bad was your English a year ago, frequency? It seems really good now!

Mio's my fav, but I dun get the Azynyan hate either. Best nyan.

I like Azunyan very much at the end of season 1. Can't see my opinion of her go down any with S2!

Azusa is character designed to pander.

I used a dictionary and other English training books regularly. I still use them now but not as much and I am even starting to learn to recognise idioms.

The others are not...?

azucat is not even the best in her group.

It's very pretty there, I like it.

Sure, but Azusa has the most pandering points.

1. Loli
2. Twintails
3. Catgirl
4. Tsundere
5. Imouto-type
6. Traditional Japanese notions of beauty (Pale, long black hair, tiny, looks like a doll)

In the case of Azunyan and Mio it is literally true. They are the only Keions who have won Saimoe! The others can go kick rocks!

You're welcome! So it's self-taught? If so, you must have done a very great job! Lots of progress in just over a year is awesome.
