hey man great post. i just finished the anime and loved it. i think if one tries to dissect k-on too much, they’ll miss the point. it’s kinda charming that way. =)

I concur. With four episodes, I've got crystal hindsight, but I still think I'm justified in my decision to watch this lightly. It's not like I watch anime for the interesting/original/thought-provoking plots (although when a series has one, 'tis beautiful). My life is taxing and void of moe-moe. So for me, this is a cool, natural high. Aeromaxs last blog post..No comment.

@ Sorrow-kun: Scratch the “entertainment” and that still seems to sum up iyashikei. I’m not too familiar with the genre, but as far as I know, the goal is provide a sense of relaxation/healing through the use of simple, everyday situations. I doubt it’s a rule, but iyashikei is more or less part of the larger slice of life genre. K-ON would simply be on the comedic side of slice of life while iyashikei shows like Aria would be on the opposite.

It's definitely moé, but I don't find it to be stereotypical moé, and I think that's the success behind the simplicity: New and Simple. It looks good from the first two episodes, but I think the plot is going to be more necessary than say Aria or Lucky Star. The producers seem to be pushing towards plot much more than with Lucky Star—the characters actually have a goal to achieve. Becuase of this slice of life + plot, I don't feel as confident about the outcome of the series compared to when I started watching Clannad or After Story; hopefully it lives up to our expectations. tais last blog post..And on the 7th month, Haruhi said “Let there be Kannagi”

All I know is, Mio's hairstyle reminds me of Nishina's. So, I'm following this show :P. But yeah, K-On is simple and good. I love it how the heroine isn't some super talented guitarist. Also, the club isn't scheming to hit the world stage or anything. They just want to run club activities and have fun. During episode one, I thought Yui's character was extremely stereotypical. Episode two characterized her better, though. So, I look forward to more. M12s last blog post..Queen’s Blade

Nicely said. I too fell in love with the anime because of the cute moe and the simple slice of life theme it gives off. Also, like Chris said, I did find Yui to be a bit annoying. She seem so clueless. But other than that the rest of the characters are very likable. Rangerrohs last blog post..Valkyria Chronicles

I’m the reason why haters for this show exist; the only real reason why I’m watching this mediocre anime is for one girl.
