K-ON IS NOT Titanic...both literally and metaphorically speaking
Seeing as to how the season finale (or probably the the entirety of the season) of K-ON! has been greeted with many negative reactions, it’s rather interesting how and why these naysayers have gone through so much trouble to watch this all up to the very last episode. But that’s okay…the question need not be answered for now since that’s not where I’m trying to get at.
Well actually now that I thinking about it, I’m kind of wondering why I’ve been watching K-ON all this time. I mean it’s not that epic good, the animation quality does have some conspicuous flaws, and there’s an excessive redundancy to the use of puns/gags. So why?! Is it because I didn’t exactly watch K-ON! for the same reasons as a good majority of others have? I don’t know…you tell me. Then again, it’s not that hard to figure out really. It’s because…
K-ON! isn’t…
1. Your essential source of Vitamin Moe – A lot of people I interact with who despise K-ON! blame their negativity towards the series to the overreacting moe fanboys (and in some cases, fangirls) who don’t have anything better to say other than..ZOMG MIOOOOOOOOOOOOOO or ZOMG AZUS-NYAAAAAAAN or anything else of that nature. Then again, I really can’t blame them entirely either considering how K-ON! tries so hard to emphasize moe (especially the “Moe moe kyun”). But really….it’s as if that’s the only reason we watch it.
2. Lucky Star – I must have been living under a rock not to make a correlation between K-ON! and Lucky Star. I mean sure, they’re both made by KyoAni and that both have four school girls as main characters. But other than that, I don’t see any further reason to compare the two. In fact it’s not even comparing that I’m seeing…it’s more like K-ON! sucks because it doesn’t have this <insert Lucky Star exclusive quality here> that Lucky Star has.
…and that K-ON! is just…
your unusual slice of life that doesn’t necessarily need to have a good badass storyline nor a consistency in style of its humor. I mean it wasn’t awesomely good..but it wasn’t THAT bad either…yet most of the people out there act as if it’s the most disgusting thing they’ve ever seen. Really, I don’t think this is a kind of show that one should take with all seriousness. Jeezuz….
As for me, all that really mattered the most was that K-ON served as a light entertainment (as well as a contrast to a lot more serious shows) throughout the Spring season. So unless you aren’t watching K-ON for the right reasons, chances are, you’re going to cast a FAIL spell on it….at least that’s what I think anyway.
