Not liking it is understandable. Hating it actively seems a bit odd given it's not a badly made show at all.

That's true. Its not for everyone, but KyoAni obviously feeds its animators more than a box of ramen. they might actually eat real food and have lives judging by the love that is put into K-on. And there is love there.

 

[Train of Midnight]

The moral of the story is:

Some people just hate cats.

You know what? K-On kinda sucks. I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but it's true. It's a boring show about a bunch of girls being cute and having fun while kinda-sorta making music (which isn't even really good) without there being any sort of actual dramatic arc or purpose. Shouldn't artists have higher goals and ambitions rather than to just chill out and be happy? They should think of how they can contribute to the world. Instead they just don't care. Maybe that's how they are, but should such a viewpoint be encouraged and glorified? Probably not.

I ask you: What more does one need out of life? I think you just need to be chill and let yourself be happy, my friend.

Funimation has this new web survey up, mostly asking about consumer habits, though at the end they do ask "what books/films/games would you like to see as an anime-style movie" so I guess they're fishing for ideas on what to do after Dragon Age & Mass Effect. Plus the survey also serves as an entry into a drawing for a DVD/BD set of your choice.

Good things have people dying in it, though. No one dies = not good.

"His list of those whom he calls the "good writers" -- Melville, Dostoyevsky, Faulkner -- precludes anyone who doesn't "deal with issues of life and death.""

The utterly frivolous nature of K-ON places it squarely in that sphere of entertainment devoted to the casualization and destruction of children and manchildren, a socialist scalpel applied to the minds of Japanese viewers.

To sum it up Kyoani=communists and you should feel bad for watching it.

e: also i guess the dvd for the movie sold 25k in two days

I see we've moved from hating on ponies to hating on moéblobs.

Some artists don't like to chill out. they cut their ear off and paint weird shit.

K-on is about as harmful as Azumanga Daioh, Lucky Star, or even the recent Joshiraku. Cute girls doing cute things is a mainstay in anime now. There's no turning back.

i would not go that far calling them communists, but K-On was ment to become grade a mega moe bait but the Fujoshi sort of took over.

Now that's a depressing thought. Also, I feel like Azumanga doesn't really belong in that list seeing how it's actually funny and stuff.

Well, to be fair,

Passion is more spoiler-ish than Sunshine since she is a resurrected antagonist and all that.

Still pretty weird considering she is an all advertisement for Fresh Precure these days.

It's not true though.

K-On is probably the only non-Ghibli anime in recent memory that normal women are able to watch without feeling disgusted and/or embarrassed. lol

It seems so. Except like you said theres fanart and pictures of her every time you type in the name of the show on google. If shes a secret, shes the worst kept secret since...well anything Microsoft has ever tried to keep secret.
Actually, I have several pictures of her because she was pleasant to look at and I havent even seen the show. Such is the conundrum of a cuteness connoisseur.

Ah, okay, that makes more sense. I'm not well-versed in non-Umakoshi Precure.

It makes a little bit more sense, but it still makes no sense in the end.

Did you just compare K-On with Azumanga Daioh? I mean, I like K-On, but it's like comparing Seinfeld with Hannah Montana. K-On isn't trying to be funny. Unless you find pulling faces hiiiilarious.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

What do you mean by new? Genshiken is a great series though and so is Genshiken 2.
Doesn't seem like the kind of show DTL would like. Is there anything with brawling maidens in it? Hmmm..Tenjo Tenge?

Isnt that show like Welcome to the NHK? NHK wasnt that good so I dont really want anything else like it, especially if it has a Misaki type character.

He should watch one of those harem animes with 30 girls, like Negima.

Ive always had Negima on my manga backlog, but I didnt know it was harem and with 30 girls, I mean, isnt that just way too much? That has to be like fanservice every panel or something.

7th, I wanted to ask - are the Precure Allstars movies considered "canon"?

Nope; in fact, outside of Heartcatch's and Suite's movies no movie is considered canon.
