What does Sup Forums think of kids on the slope

What does Sup Forums think of kids on the slope.

Is it objectively better than K-on?

It's pretty good but forgettable.

I think this describes it perfectly.

And so is K-on, it's just a bunch of girls doing random shit and most of the time the episodes barely lead anywhere

I want to know why you keep on making this thread.

This is literally the first time I ever made a thread on Sup Forums

>Is it objectively better than K-on?
Nah, it's decent but K-On! is good.

Funny that people sure seem to bring it up a lot considering how forgettable it was. Kids on the Slope probably wouldn't be remembered much at all if it didn't have Watanabe's name on it.

K-on barely showed the characters when they played their instruments and on kids on the slope they animated very well and you could tell they actually have a fuck about the music portion of the theme. K-on is just trying to force its "OMG SOOO CUUTTE" shit down your throat

>K-on barely showed the characters when they played their instruments
So? That wasn't the focus of the show, and that build up only made episode 13 when you basically get a full live concert that much more meaningful.

>on kids on the slope they animated very well
Not any better than K-On's, though notably K-On didn't resort to CGI randomly at times so it definitely has a leg up on it there.

>you could tell they actually have a fuck about the music portion of the theme.
So does K-On? It's not the main focus, but that doesn't mean it didn't give a shit about it. The instrument porn was delicious, and the movie was basically all porn for anyone interested in the history of that style of music.

You're comparing a drama about music to a SoL with music, of course one is more focused on the music than the other. Comparing the two just because they play music is idiotic, they weren't even remotely similar. One was a decent but forgettable melodrama romance and the other was probably one of the more well known SoL in anime that everyone and their dog, including you, feel as if they have to compare something against. They're not even in the same league.

>le music wasn't the focus of the show so it doesn't matter that the animators didn't give a single shit about it jeez Louise

Also if we're comparing animation the kids on the slope wins on that regard and most of the people I know who've seen it didn't even notice the cg

Also musically Kids on the Slope was able to play some pretty amazing stuff even with just a drum set and a guitar meanwhile all that K-on played was shit j-pop

>they weren't remotely similar

That's because Kids on the slope did it well with actually developed characters and relationships while K-on had a shit fest of barely any development while relying on tropes and cliches for the characters
>ritzy is le lazy crazy grill lol XD
>mio is le scared hahaha

I loved it.
>Is it objectively better than K-on?
Yes, but that's not much of an achivement by itself.

Drum set and a piano*

By your image and inability to properly greentext, I'm guessing you're some crossboarder.

>Also if we're comparing animation the kids on the slope wins on that regard and most of the people I know who've seen it didn't even notice the cg
That's because most people are like you who don't know what makes good or bad animation and don't notice jarring CG because they're plebs, nobody in their right mind is going to tell you KotS's animation is better than K-On's unless they're just a try hard trying to peddle some bullshit like you.

>Also musically Kids on the Slope was able to play some pretty amazing stuff even with just a drum set and a guitar meanwhile all that K-on played was shit j-pop
All personal preference, but on that note there's much more musically available for K-On than KotS, including a mix tape that directly ties into the show.

>That's because Kids on the slope did it well with actually developed characters and relationships while K-on had a shit fest of barely any development while relying on tropes and cliches for the characters
I don't know what to tell you, friend, you clearly just have some hateboner for this show. K-On has plenty of development, you can watch the first and last episode side by side and there's a noticeable difference in how they act that was done subtly over the course of the series unlike KotS that relied on dramatic plot points and haircut character development that's really in no way subtle. Just because one was much more in your face about it, doesn't mean it was completely absent from the other. Hell, you can see it from how the characters act differently with the other characters, Yui's morning in episode 1 and episode 13, etc.

If you can't appreciate both for what they did and are stubbornly going to cling to some inferiority complex because a show was more popular that yours, that's your own problem.

It was rubbish, was nothing like K-on. Spent to much time on the shitty love triangle instead of on music.

It was decent but the ending was one of the shittiest i have seen in anime.
Implying is better that K-on is pure retardation considering it's melodramatic execution.

The retarded crossborder is right about the big picture but not about the details. Narratively and thematically kots is clearly stronger than k-on. However nothing about about kots thematic execution or characters is impressive or notable. As the test of time shows it's just another forgettable anime romance, while k-on remains relevant despite the countless amounts of similar shows.

>K-on
>melodramatic

Why are you so eager to admit you have no idea what you are talking about. When something is as light-hearted as k-on it cannot be melodramatic.

This, Music was the only good part, I had no interest in the garbage love triangle.

The female designs were fucking nasty anyway.

>Narratively and thematically kots is clearly stronger than k-on.
I can agree on this for the most part, but as I said K-On is very character focused, so it not being as ambitious narratively really isn't any kind of slight against it unless you're a moron who goes into every show whether it's SoL, drama, cyberpunk, fantasy, whatever and expect the exact same standard every time like that retard before seemed to be. Thematically I'm less certain on as K-On is very strong themeatically, it would be more apt to say KotS was more ambitious themeatically. I'd say KotS accomplished having it's themes more intrinsically tied together while letting them hinder one another a bit, notably the drama and romance hindering the musical bonding, while K-On was much more impactful and meaningful with the themes it focused on while using it's music as a common interest but not focus.

Either way, Kids on the Slope is a fine show, just insisting to compare it to K-On is fucking stupid and reminds me of the faggots who will push Beck in a similar fashion. Compare KotS to Beck or White Album 2, not K-On.

K-on can easily be seen as a self-indulgent empowerment fantasy since the girls never practice yet they sill mange to succeed in their music pursuits. It kinda warps the themes.

>succed in their music pursuits
Succed in the music industry in japan means sucking corporate dick to get a contract.
Are you sure you want to imagine your waifu doing that?

They succeed in being good enough to get the whole auditorium excited plus the entire show presents it like dicking around is all you need to be a good musician while you achieve self-actualization in the meantime.

Wow, so a school of lesbians got excited at cute girls playing music, big deal.
That doesn't mean they'll reach for a wider audience.

I disliked most of the characters, loved the jazz, shame that it disappeared under the teenage drama somewhere in the beginning.

Wasn't bad though, just not my cup of tea.

I liked it. I'd like Shinichiro Watanabe to do more shows like it.

Personally, I'm having a hard time deciding if Kids on the Slope or Hyouka is my spring 2012 AotS.
