After the poor sales and eventual cancelling of the Lucky Star LEs, I'm not convinced they'd take a chance on another KyoAni-produced moe show. I can imagine Funimation picking it up and releasing the whole series as a single, subtitled boxset. I'd be just fine with that, myself. I've already got most of the CDs through importing, and none of the other typical LE bonuses (postcards, iron-on transfers, pillowcases, etc.) appeal to me. |

At this point, their phenomenal success has less to do with animation quality (which isn't as impressive as it used to be anyway) than momentum and fan fervor. They're sitting pretty in a bubble. However, that bubble isn't going to last forever. |

Well spoken Dude, Well spoken. K-ON has 1 more episode left then it will be gone forever. (Unless they come with Manga Chapters) I can't help but wonder what Kyoto Animation has after Inuyasha. I hope its that Anime that ~Key~ Announced with Amniplex. Manward please don't say Subtitled ony. Duded and Subbed please! |

I think this in every single thread you give your 'input' to but for God's sake learn what the word 'epic' means. It's painful to read. ep⋅ic /ˈɛpɪk/ [ep-ik] –adjective Also, ep⋅i⋅cal. noting or pertaining to a long poetic composition, usually centered upon a hero, in which a series of great achievements or events is narrated in elevated style: Homer's Iliad is an epic poem. Something like One Piece, or any other long-running adventure is what what be descriped as an 'epic'. K-On or any other slice of life show is not 'epic'. Honestly, dont you have any other adjectives at all? |

Sales +1!
Hmm? What was that? People are complaining? Sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how moe K-ON! is. |

I find myself actually agreeing with the perennial "no dub no sale" troll...and actually beginning to understand him. You're basic motivation is to see moe anime become more mainstream in America, isn't it?
ww. Like I keep on saying, I can't wait till those Strike Witches R1's come out so I can buy three copies and go "Sales+3!" while posting it to ANN.
Really, though, that fervor is based on something. There really isn't any other moe/otaku anime out there that comes close to approaching the level of anime quality found in K-On or Clannad. I mean, Toradora and K-On are both moefests, but when Toradora sells 10,519 Volume 1's and K-On 41,000 (DVD+Blue-ray) Volume 1's, you know there's something going on there.
Personally, I'd recommend waiting for the R1's. It'd be cheaper, and you'd be supporting the English side and asserting your demands and place as an English-speaking consumer. |

Kyoto Animation is apart of Inuyasha as well. See http://myanimelist.net/anime/249/InuYasha And watch the end credits for Inuyasha Kyoto Animation is like leed Animation. @Annf@ Ha ha I see Kokonoe! Also Toradora! is not Moe. It has a little bit of Moe in it but its not Moe. I actually think Toradora! is miles better than K-ON but K-ON is on that epic Level. Also I like the word epic. If something is Epic then its epic. |

*claps* Yaaay! ... oh wait ... is that a Kodomo no Jikan figure there next to it? OH NO LOOK OUT ... the animenewsnetwork forces are gonna come and yell at you for being a pedophile!!!! lol Oh wait ... here's mine... http://myfigurecollection.net/image/Jenthehen1246848980.jpg But, seriously ... K-On was a fabulous show. Before I even knew what "moe" was or meant, I was really attracted to the big eyes, small mouth bright colored cutesy animation - I think it's lovely! K-On had heart. It was a simple slice of life show about female friendship and having fun in high school - I LOVE those shows. Why does everyone always want to bitch and moan and complain about everything? Just enjoy it! If you don't like this style, then don't watch it. There are just as many serious and dramatic and non-moe shows to choose from. K-On also had wonderful (if goofy) music - very catchy, though! Old-school anime animation looked like crap. Be thankful that newer animation is prettier |

I really wanted to like K-ON more than I did. It's not that I'm a big "Moe = end of anime" person -- I loved Kamichu and even Lucky Star had a few great moments. Haruhi was a blast, even if it seemed to be more of a parody of moe than the real thing. But I was hoping a show about a bunch kids thrown together to start a band would contain more music. By the middle I was with Mio and Azu, knock off the cutesy (and pandering - we get it, Mio's cute and a reluctant pinup) stuff and get to playing music for awhile. Nothing wrong with silliness at all, but when a 13 episode show has two beach episodes, I think a little more effort is called for.
I agree that you can enjoy things that are meant to be fun without analyzing them to death. However, I just wish it didn't feel so lazy at moments. |

Yeah Moi is fail Mio + Azu-nyan = win. And I concur with the first two statements. For all you moe haters out there, it's a part of anime whether you like it or not so suck it up. *such comments have no effect on me since I watch about everything that is released * |
