It's not cute unless you find something cute about a retarded girl and the people who have to deal with her.

It's an anime you watch to take it easy.

If you want a music anime, watch Beck.

You don't watch K-on with a logical, critical mindset. You turn off your brain and just go with the flow. I, too, attempted to find the logic in it when I watched the first two episodes, continuously wondering what the fuck I was watching. Then I watched it when I was tired of watching loldeep stuff or some other thing, and I let myself sit at the comp, smiling and giggling like a retard through the third ep. I finally got it then.

You don't need to be a lolicon or anything to enjoy it. It's just silly entertainment that you just might not like.

It's just to "dawwwww" over and giggle at their wacky hijinks?
>>36640688
I asked if it was to kill time, and if it really is just that I don't get why it's so popular.

>It's just to "dawwwww" over and giggle at their wacky hijinks?
If that's how you see it.

>>36640752
I have watched beck, I just thought I'd share that tidbit of it. They put the instruments and the band right out in the front like it's what the entire story is about, and then there is no story.

It's like an American cartoon of Japan. No plot, just characters that have a mini-arc every episode. Like scooby doo or some such.

Because it fills up the void of not having a girlfriend

>>36640769

Every entertainment's purpose is to kill time. And some of us enjoy it cause it's one silly thing after another. Several of the more enjoyable jokes are related to things many of us actually enjoy, but just don't let go nowadays. Might be what some people call "fantasy realization" or something like that.

It's just light entertainment.

>>36640858
I don't think this'd do that for me. I'm sorry.
>>36640831
I don't get how else I'm supposed to see it. Half of the lines of dialogue are them shouting the others' names.

The reason I like K-ON? Well it's cute, fuckable girls doing something I've always dreamed of doing: starting a bad, and succeeding at it. What's more fun then to see cute girls achieve YOUR dreams?

It's like I'm watching my daughter having fun with friend.

I'm grinning like a retard while watching this show.

>>36640892
>Every entertainment's purpose is to kill time
What? What I mean by 'kill time' is to literally do something when you have nothing you'd rather do, and are waiting for the time to pass. I play games and watch anime because I WANT entertainment, I don't think I'm time-killing when I stay up all night to finish a game or series.
>some of us enjoy it cause it's one silly thing after another
There were a couple tidbits that made me chuckle, but do you really watch for "azu-nyan!" and face-rubbing? I may never understand.
>Several of the more enjoyable jokes are related to things many of us actually enjoy, but just don't let go nowadays.
"I wish to be the little girl" etc? They don't really do anything exceptional. I read Ippo in part because I'd love to box if I weren't so vain.

Thanks for the big response, by the way. Hope you can help clarify

Yeah, seconding the 'retard factor' aspect.

It is like watching pure nothing - but in doing so you can zone out, which isn't entirely bad.

Yes, it is simply a silly show to pass a relaxing time watching something without having to worry about plot or drama, nothing serious. However k-onfags love it for some weird reason people like us will never be able to understand.
You're better off just accepting it as a fact and not questioning, because there is no logic behind it.

>>36640981
>fuckable girls
They don't really do that for me, but I guess that'd make someone enjoy the show more.
>see them achieving your dreams
But you DON'T. The portion of the show about the band is so small I don't believe it's even relevant for more than the j-pop or whatever you call what they play.

>>36641328
>They don't really do that for me
You should see a doctor for that

>>36641265

I don't have children, so maybe I'll get it later.

>>36641265
I can see how it's something to watch just to have something to watch, but is "K-ON TUESDAY!" and watching livestreams of the jap broadcast necessary?
>However k-onfags love it for some weird reason people like us will never be able to understand.
...oh.

>not trolling here
>what do people who enjoy K-on like about it?

>>36641416
Why? Their faces piss me off. Mio is almost there, but they're all also stone fucking stupid.

If I had to choose the character it'd be the chairman or whatever position she is.

It's a slice of life.
Comparable to Family Guy.
Except with little girls instead of a wide variety of characters.

Maybe because I have a different opinion

>>36641441
>but is "K-ON TUESDAY!" and watching livestreams of the jap broadcast necessary?

weird japanese ads are fun to watch.

Because it's an entertaining show about girls with charming personalities, and we watch their day to tday activies
It's a nice show because it's a break from all of the action, slapstick, and (in my opinion) mindless fanservice and the cheap jokes that go with it.

K-ON! unlike many anime, is set up like a sitcom. Each episode has it's own plot, not an over-arching one. They might mention something that happened before, but that's about it.

It's like watching Family Matters. You absorb the characters, the plot, the comedy and decide if you want to watch this or go home, go home, go home.

>>36641522
I'm just asking what it is so I can "get" it.
>>36641515
I don't really care for family guy either, as it's full of pop culture jokes.
>>36641576
I could youtube those all day.

>>36640620

Obviously people aren't old enough in this thread to understand the appeal of this type of moe.

Basically when the characters in K-ON act like retards it elicits a certain feeling and it is related to the feeling of wanting to protect a child,basically it's sort of an instinctual thing,in men and women.

That's probably why opinions on K-ON are so polar since people aren't having the full experience.

>>36641416

notice the fact that she has no nose, and her mouth is smaller than her pupil..

"Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" has got nothing on this .. it makes h.r.giger weep

Why watch American cartoons? They have very little plot and are just episodic drivel meant to drive the jokes.

I don't mind that part about them or K-ON. Also, cute girls and cute things. It fills the void and makes my week so please just take it for what it is. ;_;

>>36641678
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

NOW I WANT TO HEAR AKI TOYOSAKI SAY "DID I DO THAAAAAAT~?"

>moe.

>>36641711
Why do you need to 'get' it?

>>36641711
But you cant chat with the other people online while watching youtube

>>36641441
if it makes /a/ shut the fuck up about this shitty series every other day of the week im in.

>>36641678
First off, thanks for the reply uh, Carl.
>it's a break from all of the action, slapstick, mindless fanservice and the cheap jokes that go with it.
The entire series seemed to be borderline slapstick to me. Some jokes surely were, but the other bits the viewer is obviously supposed to laugh at seemed forced, even for silly little girls.
>unlike many anime, is set up like a sitcom. Each episode has it's own plot, not an over-arching one.
Yeah, I mentioned this earlier. I don't particularly mind it, but only one or two of the plots didn't feel empty.

I guess it just isn't for me, then. Thanks, /a/.

>>36641416

I didn't really see anything special about the first season when I watched it, but then I rewatched it and it clicked with me. It just really makes me laugh and I like the music, animation and stories.

cute girls doing cute things, thats all

>>36641846
Because I didn't like something that TONS of other people do, and I feel like I must be looking at it wrong, because that happens sometimes.
>>36641871
True, but no chat I've been in with anon has gone well.
>>36641872
Word

>>36641892
>The entire series seemed to be borderline slapstick to me
You must not know what slapstick is then. I'm not going to tell you that it doesn't have any jokes like that at all, but if this is a slapstick show to you, then you just seem ill-disposed at any reply about K-ON! that isn't talking about how shitty it is.

>>36641892
oh wow a good poster, yeah it isn't for you
You know, you could be watching something else instead of K-On

If you don't enjoy a show stop watching it, nobody's forcing you

>>36641711
Yeah, that's why you don't like K-On either.
It's basically the same as American cartoons, stupid people doing stupid shit.

But in Japan it's 'cute girls doing cute things'.

>Just completed season one, and I didn't especially enjoy it

Not my problem. Are you still watching S2?

>>36642010
Never been in any live watching thread before, right?

>>36641149
>I wish to be the little girl

Not at all what I meant. People are generally just too srsbusiness to let themselves enjoy the little things in life we used to like as kids.

>>36642014
I just said it seemed like it to me, like all of the funnies were forced.
>>36642016
Figured I'd give it a shot, I'd rather know I don't like it than never know.
>>36642026
stupid people doing stupid things to cute girls doing cute things? I like it.
>>36642054
>Not my problem.
Ok?
>Are you still watching S2?
What's with your post? I gave it three episodes and nothing changed, so I made this thread.

>>36641678
Dude. You did NOT just compare K-ON to Family Matters.
Get the fuck out, now.

>>36642082
No, I have to pause whatever I'm doing at intervals. Thus no lives or even multiplayer games.
>>36642165
I'm still kinda young myself (20) so I still see my friends at least weekly, and do stuff with them on a regular basis.

>but what do people who enjoy K-on like about it?

Because fun things are fun. :3

>>36642221
Calm the fuck down.
I was just stating about the style that they are written and play out is similar.
(stuff happens this episode) (stuff happens the next episode) and so on and so forth.

It's up to the characters, comedy and writing to keep you watching.
Am I wrong?
