Rewatching this show 7 years on and holy shit it aged like fine wine

Rewatching this show 7 years on and holy shit it aged like fine wine.

Will this masterpiece every be beat?

>holy shit it aged like fine wine.
Not really

I watched it for the first time 6 months ago and thought it was pretty boring.

There hasn't been a cute girls show even close to its calibre since, I can't imagine that'll change anytime soon.

Is that image supposed to prove anything?

Yeah, Mugi is very cute.

Obviously, since K-On is the Re:Zero of moe.

Yui is better.

Sansha Sanyou came to a close

Re:Zero is truly a masterpiece of our time.

Ranking the Keions is blasphemous.

>K-On! is the SAO of moe
FTFY

I love K-On!, but you kyoanifags need to realize that the show doesn't look as polished as modern CGDCT shows

Re:Zero > K-On

Underages are not allowed here.

Re:Zero > everything

And?

The music is shit and it's overall boring.

>The music is shit
no

But unlike modern moe K-On actually has a soul.

HTT has a lot of good songs, you're just narrow minded.

Non Non Biyori already did three years ago.

How tasteless.

>needed one hour to watch the first episode
It's trash

It already has

Why are you comparing K-on with seasonal flavour?

Gochiusa says otherwise

Japan disagrees.

>buttmoe

GochiUsa is exactly the type of soulless moetrash that was referring to

>Gochiusa
Come on user, it's not exceptionally good even compared to your average seasonal kirara yuribait anime.

>K-on is good enough for Jason Mraz
>But some user doesn't like it.

It's a meme. Everyone is aware that rezero is garbage so it's fun to falseflag as a retarded fanboy. I guess the logic goes like:
>rezero is being meme'd as the modern day Evangelion
>The mecha genre and arguably anime plateaued with Evangelion
>CGDCT plateaued with K-On.

Feels good to be understood.

Forgettable seasonal show vs classic, record breaker, game changer, show that 7 years later still sells and is still loved in Japan.

I remember watching and enjoying GochiUsa but I don't remember any moment that made a significant impact on me. But K-on went from an ok show to "oh fuck it hurts to much why did it had to end"

>K-on is good enough for Jason Mraz
Okay, you got me, I'm curious. What does that mean?

Never, because modern SoL tries to copy the archetypes and the little iconic scenes without building up the character relationships and giving them natural, unforced interactions which would give context to said archetypes or scenes. It's the same as every other medium. Something really successful and good comes along, then all the other corporate whores try to cash in by trying to copy the formula without actually understanding how the formula works or not being arsed enough to put the effort into it and instead just doing a cheap Chinese knockoff. It's okay though. Put in enough pantsu shots and yuri and the audience will just relax, turn off their brains, turn on their dicks and enjoy the fork in their brain. Fork in the brain.

One of his songs opens with the *guitar riff* keiooon! thing.

I don't think modern shows look any more polished.
If those are the worst quality shots you can find in the show, that's still pretty good for today's standard too.

>the *guitar riff* keiooon! thing
You mean the one that plays in the eyecatch?

Show me your last.fm. 100 bucks says you don't know shit about music.

Never mind, just found it. The fucking madman, what was he thinking showing his power level in the open like that?

GochiUsa is fucking garbage compared to K-On. Holy shit you newshits are fucking dumb.

K-On is a timeless classic as far as CGDCT SoLs go. It literally set the standard for all other shows to follow but none have been able to dethrone it. GochiUsa, Kinmosa, NNB, YrYr, Tamayura, A-Channel, Yuyushiki, Kanamemo, SoRaNoWoTo, Yama Susume, etc are fine but they can't hold a candle to K-On. I truly believe this show was the peak of the genre and it's been going downhill since the K-On movie aired.

Even CGDCT shows that aired before K-On like Azumanga, Gakuen Utopia, Minami-ke, Ichigo Machimaro, Lucky Star, Aria, Hyakko, Lucky Star, PPD, Hidamari, or Sketchbook are much better than the mass produced garbage we get today. Contemporary cute girls doing cute things slice of life shows feel so soulless.

If we're talking about animation quality, S1 was very low budget but S2 still holds and even beats most shows that air today, and the movie had some of the best direction I've ever seen in an anime movie.

Hidamari, Aria and Ichigo Mashimaro are better though.

>it's actually not a pasta
What the fuck.

When you attain a certain level of fame, it's often safe to reveal your power level (or at least certain elements of it).

Hidamari, Aria and Machimaro are more specialized as far as themes and pacing go. K-On did everything a cute girl SoL can do and it did it great.

>>it's actually not a pasta
>What the fuck.

Wow, someone expresses their opinion in something else than an 8 word meme shitpost? Stop the fucking presses.

No wonder your taste is so fucking shit.

True, but the charm of K-On is not the visuals

>but the charm of K-On is not the visuals
Come on those hands are adorable.

>someone expresses their opinion in something else than an 8 word meme shitpost
He literally didn't say a thing except "K-on was very popular and I think it's better that aaaalll these shows I listed"

Not that I disagree with him but all he fucking did was namedrop shows

When did I even mention popularity? Fucking retard. What's next? Are you going to say I'm a KyoAni fag for liking one of their shows?

Excuse me, then you just said:

"I think K-on it's better than alllll these show I listed."

Happy?

>can't even read posts bigger than a tweet without losing track of what's being said

>Excuse me, then you just said:
Learn to not talk like a retard and maybe some day someone will take your infantile blabbering seriously.

Because it is, no other cute girl SoL past K-On has had the level of characterization. If you want to argue that some Pre-K-On shows did certain things better, fine, but newer ones aren't even on the same league.

Try making an actual argument next time instead of writing many words that doesn't mean a fucking thing.

I guess it'll become a great pasta in the future, and yeah, me and my broken english tell you to fuck off, it's not because K-on was popular and good enough to set a new standard back then that it is the best SOL of all time.

Many others SOLs that you actually listed are as good if not better.

I like how the kyoani fanbase has to defend everything the studio does, tooth and nail.
Even if someone just mentions that k-on looks a tad dated now

I wouldn't consider myself a fan of Kyoani but I simply don't think K-on looks dated.
It's not like the industry made any great technological advancements since the time it came out.

Literally doesn't look dated though.
Why you gotta generalize everyone who disagrees with you as some kinda fanboy?

Maybe the designs do look a bit dated, but the overall animation quality is just fine.

for real though, what is wrong with people who dont like k-on? how is it possible

It does look dated. It's not as "shiny" as current shows and the model constancy is often sacrificed for movement which is rare nowadays. Mostly apples to early S1 and not at all for S2 though.

...

How so? What did K-On do that NNB didn't do better (besides playing instruments while only shot from the neck up or from a distance)?

So evolution in artstyle? Dated has negative connotations, so when it doesn't look any worse it can be misunderstood.

Kyoani has gotten better at hands, for one. This show, especially S1, was what popularized the "Kyoani can't draw hands" meme.

K-on and NNB are different types of SOL though, NNB is better overall for me, but it doesn't have a dynamic between the characters as good as k-on.

I think how much you like NNB depends on how much it reminds you of your own childhood.

That's why for some people it just doesn't click at all.

Actually going somewhere, actually having good animation besides just pretty backgrounds and deformed faces, not being slow as hell, characters actually growing, ect.

Well it does look dated along with the negative connotations of the word. People will compare it to a newer KyoAni shows and not your typical low-effort seasonal. So it that sense k-on's date clearly shows.

>actually going somewhere
Who cares about that, really?

Cast is less well-rounded, show lacks direction and is little more than a collection of funny scenes, art is worse, animation is worse and Hotaru is a trashy character.

>If you like at least one Kyoani show it means you are a Kyoanifag
>If you disagreed with me you are a Kyoanifag

It doesn't sound like you enjoy SOLs in general.

People with taste.

Being slice of life shouldn't act as an excuse for shitty writing.

People with taste likes every kind of SOL, unlike you.

NNB is one of the best recent cute girl doing cute things Sols to be honest, K-On is still better though.

I'm pretty sure liking literally everything regardless of what it's like is the polar opposite of taste.

Not really.

Keion had the best character dynamic of any and all SoL anime. It had the second best atmosphere second only to Tamako Market. NNB while enjoyable had only Renge antics and candy store relationship going on for it. Incomparable to Keion honestly.

It is, but I still wouldn't pin it as more than a 5 or 6.

I'm not saying you must like everything, but that you must not hate any SOL that isn't the "growing type" with no fucking reason.

You're telling me that things like Ichigo mashimaro, Yuru Yuri or Minami-ke are bad because the characters won't grow up? That's retarded.

Nobody said anything about hating. Putting shows like NNB above K-On despite K-On having writing and characters on an entirely different level along with bettwr visuals is just batshit retarded and arguing for the sake of arguing. You're simply objectively wrong. There's no discussing this. The discussion is pointless.

NNB has better comedy, and pretty backgrounds is a reason someone could prefer an anime. Both have strengths over the other.

>k-on have actual characters
Sorry but K-on's characters are nothing really special, but I agree to say that the interactions between then is way better than NNB though.

GochiUsa is just fine.

S1 is a solid 6. S2 shit the bed and was a 4/10 in my opinion

>People will compare it to a newer KyoAni shows and not your typical low-effort seasonal.
"Dated" sounds like you're comparing it to the current standard though and not talking about the style of a specific studio changing.
It probably would look a little different if Kyoani made it today but it's not something that couldn't be aired today as it was back then.

>K-on's characters are nothing really special
That's true, but what matters in this kind of SoL are the character interactions, it's what sets apart these common archetypes.
In K-On you can sense the group dynamics, you know how each character will interact with the other and what kind of relationship they have, and there is a lot of attention and love put into the gestures and the little details.
I enjoyed NNB a lot but I agree with the other user who said Renge e Candy Store were the only ones really interesting to watch. Though it's more about the overall atmosphere and nostalgia anyway, and it succeeds at this.

Are there actual sols with really special characters? I've seen pretty much all of the relevant ones and none of them had particularly noteworthy characters.

K-On!

How? season one and two are practically the same in in almost every way.
I really cannot comprehend how someone could like Keion, but hate GochiUsa or NNB at the same time.
GochiUsa and NNB are hands down the best SoL titles post-Keion. Not only did these shows have endless spontaneous humor that was actually funny, but the way the characters interacted with each other felt natural to me. For example when Cocoa gets jealous of her onee-chan and ends up getting mad at misunderstanding her only to become really sad when they have to part again. or in NNB when Candystore gets emotionally attached to Renge while teaching her how to hide a bike. You can tell that candystore was realizing for the first time inf her life what it really means to be a kid and how rewarding it feels to help someone grow up.
At least this is how I saw it. Rather than just some quick gag comedy, I felt like the characters in these shows were natural like a real person is. I feel like if any show comes close to Keion, it would be GochiUsa and NNb

>GochiUsa and NNB are hands down the best SoL titles post-Keion
Calm down there.

Define special characters. Do you really believe a show needs to have edgy suffering shit in order for characters not to be shallow and two-dimensional?

They're both trashy buttmoe.
Best post-keion cute girls show would be something like Yuyushiki, which even then is more in the tradition of Azumanga Daioh than K-On!

I don't know anymore if I love Gochiusa for the anime or for the fucking perfect doujins.

Yuyushiki had great potential to elevate itself above all the other generic stuff like kinmoza and yryr and became a classic if it didn't force its yuri so much. Genuinely amazing show though.

I really hope you're not this stupid, user

Talking about Kinmoza, I'll never understand the popularity of this one, I mean, beside Aya and Karen, everything else is terrible, we all agree?

It would've been so much better as a short, like Wakaba.
