The latest episode of Azusa anime K-ON! revealed that it was in fact the penultimate episode, and a collective scream of rage and anguish was immediately heard to issue forth from anime otaku’s major haunt, 2ch, with thousands of distraught posts in short order.
The ending they are so concerned about falls on the 18th, and there is much dissatisfaction at there being only 12 episodes and no sign of the next season.
A brief sample of their endless histrionics:
It’s too early, too early!
What the hell are they playing at flashing up “last episode” like that?
It’s unforgivable for an anime this popular to finish with only one season!
They’ve just stolen our reason for life…
When I saw that come up I was totally depressed.
Next season everyone will be fawning over some other moe anime anyway…
Speculation as to whether there will be a new season or a mystery 13th episode has immediately begun, though as yet no reliable information on the subject has come to light. Fans will doubtless be praying the anime does not turn into the next Haruhi…

OMG
where is the BUDOKAN performance????????
damn...
K-ON is a shitfest anyway.
I wonder what the big scheme is...
A few months ago, I thought it would had 14, then shortly after I found out it had 13. Now it's 12?
I guess the 13h would be an ova or something.
Anyway, unless they don't finish this season with an original ending, then there's still a chance for a 2nd season some time in the future, as the manga's still running.
At least the otaku still have haruhi for a while longer so they won't go totally insane...
There's an episode 13...
it's even listed at wiki...
"Winter Days!"
"Fuyu no Hi!" (冬の日!)
"Next season everyone will be fawning over some other moe anime anyway…"
Thank you, sensible eleven.
You moefags do this shit every time a diabetes inducing anime comes out, it's pathetic. In six months, you all are going to be fapping over some other vacuous characters, moe is anime for those with severe ADHD.
This is gayer than two gay people having sex in a public area. FAIL.
I laugh every time I see fan boys RAGING over every moeshit series that ends. Oh well, by the end of the next anime season in a couple of months everyone will have forgotten about K-ON! and start RAGING about some other series abruptly ending and never getting a second season or it might become like Haruhi and actually get a another season, but by the time the new series starts airing no one will even remember it. You will be missed K-ON!
at least it'll be a great ending,
i've been waiting for the episode where ui cosplays as yui ever since i saw it in the manga.
what is wrong with people. <-<
What the hell is wrong with people.
we have to endure this, my friends... everything has an end... and apparently we must also endure the immature comments from overreacting anti-moe fanaticists, who actually just can't accept the fact that the anime they despise can be accepted by lots of open minded people...
I'm glad I just collect some things, after that I don't care. Carrying on like this is just sad, I'm happy the only thing I have in common with them is anime.
i assume next we will hear bout little busters, tehn maybe another fmp! then like kyoani did with toei an kny novels,remake hugurashhi to let fans have a nice adaptation, and maybe then k-on 2
*writing of a delusional person*
I agree on the Little Busters thing.But i predict that if Little Busters end we would have floods of novel players and anime fans all over the place it could end much worse then the Haruhi S1 era
Good riddance.
Haruhi is a Bitchy Bitch!!
that sucks that is really not a smart move if they just end it like that. they need more or the otakus will rise lol.
Good god Artefact, check your facts before posting shit. As of not 30 seconds ago, I checked Wikipedia for the list of episodes. As of right now, there is a 13th episode scheduled for June 26th. There's no way Kyo-Ani would stop K-ON! after 12 episodes, given how popular it is.
For you lazy people: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_K-On!_episodes
Yeah, I was confused by that too, but, who knows? I'll be sad if the anime ends, but I already expected that, because, I mean, they had some fun episodes, but now they're just running in circles... Nothing is actually going on, there is no progress... [What about Budoukan?]
And that 13th episode... The anime is identical to manga, and, for now, in manga, there simply isn't any material for episode 13.
I don't know... I would really like the show to go on, because I really like the characters, and it's the only moe show I watch... But at the moment, I don't really see how.
Wikipedia is always right
You know its true.
lol wiki..
i bet you anything that the 13th ep WILL come clannad-style and we can all enjoy the series one last time.
i know 13 episodes seem REALLY short, but were we all REALLY expecting a second season?
we all saw it coming.
So K-ON! will have 12 episodes not 13 anymore...
its because of the airing of haruhi Season 2!
Since the next episode of Haruhi 2 is Endless eight coming June 18,2009.
Isn't there an ova for K-ON!
kyoto-animation are assholes.
they make really good shit but man, they always cut their best stuff short. unless it's based on a key game, usually 12-13.
why? because they are assholes.
Just because the manga hasn't finished yet and they're stopping where the manga stops doesn't make them assholes.
What about the 13th episode? Winter Days or whatev?"
don't they have Haruhi, now that a second season has begon they are whining about K-ON! ending...tsss they deserve to get mugged, faggots
"It's too early"?
Series like this very rarely extend to 20-something eps. It's not such a surprise at all. It just means there will be one less thing to see this season. People that go "Oh no! What will I do!?!" Why don't you play some games? or get a job? Or watch another anime...
My response to those:
Calm down. Jesus. There probably will be a second season. Stop crying.
lol, this being Kyo-Ani, they'll try to do the same marketing tactics as Haruhi, or hell, they may even end up declaring that they dropped it altogether due to Haruhi being back.

I like all the positive and negative comments here.
Because all you guys/girls hate K-ON! so much thats why you guys keep replay on the commments.
answer 1 : yes Mio = moe
answer 2: No it will never be populair as Dragon Ball Z
answer 3: No Mio Beam is not stronger then The Special Beam Cannon from Piccolo.
"No Mio Beam is not stronger then The Special Beam Cannon from Piccolo."
Not anymore, that beam hardly even went through Raditz and Goku's guts..
"Next season everyone will be fawning over some other moe anime anyway…"
QFT
Also K-ON was genuinely bad.
Oh yes! It's finally over!
The K-ON haters are jubilant b/c their threat to Haruhi-ism is out of the way, and many K-ON fans are crushed. Look, the series wasn't going to last moar than 12 eps. in one season, but it may be back in no more than 18 months. So quit crying K-ON fans, and you haters: stop failing so hard, your "god" is still here.
Thank ye Older Gods for this! Kyo-Anime was and is at its best when they release them short. Fumufufu, Haruhi, The Second Raid and finally now.. K-On!!! Yah!
Lucky Star felt like it just dragged past the tenth episode and to continue for another 14 was too much to bare for myself.. even the raging battle between the narcissistic girl and tortured boy showed how fatigued the animation crew was and the blow-up by the boy near the end was quite cathartic!
Though I keep seeing Kyo-anime credited in the opening crawl of companies in Shuffle, even that one went nowhere for episodes with meaningless stories of emo angst. With a payoff that could've been done with 12! OVAs did this often with only SIX.
So, HUZZAH for Kyoto Anime! I so look forward to their future (and Much shorter) endeavors.
I knew all along there'd only be a few episodes. They needed to do their research and they'd have been prepared long ago. D:
Yup, we all know that... but is sad anyways... Miooooooo!!!!
Finally, the moe shit is starting to end. Anime was never about moe, look at 80's anime and so forth. None of that was moe. 80's anime was better than all the shit from 2000 combined. Go watch some real anime, moetards, and come back when you learn what anime is really about, dumbasses.
Post Summary: I'm an old fag.I'm also an aspiring troll.
DID LOL!
K-On will more than likely be back for a 2nd season.The manga is ongoing,it's extremely popular and is going to make a killing with K-ON! toys,paraphenelia,t-shirts, and pvc figures, etc..The only question is "WHEN?!".If Kyoani were smart, they wouldn't do the same thing with K-ON! that they did with Haruhi.Anything longer than a year's wait is TOO long and would only hurt the series the same way too long of a wait for season 2 of Haruhi has seriously hurt the popularity of that series.
We'd better have somethign, because the summer season of anime sucks bigtime except for the anime about the Tkyo earthquake(name escapes me atm).
YES, there is a god in this world after all. Death to the moe shit!
Today is a good day.
Hooray.
Ok, I'm feeling quite sad right now.
This cannot be the last of my beloved K-On. There must be a second season to this.
I love how some people here express their opinions of their dislike of K-ON!, and then other people call them trolls and how they must be wrong.
Huh.
hmmm i see how some of those responses call them trolls but more often than not, its simple defense of what they like against those who do not like.
the troll calling begins when ammunition is low or its clearly a troll.
you fucking troll.
I hope that last line is implied irony for comedy, because although I know I am not a troll, I hope my comments don't relfect myself to be one D:
To go off topic for the post, I like the show - but since I'm a girl similar in age to the characters, I like it because I can relate to them and their activities, rather than for thinking it's moe/cute/whatever.
There are no girls on the internet...
it was to be ironic and funny ^.^
"They’ve just stolen our reason for life…"
I like where this is going.
Personally i'd like to see a second season of K-ON! and think we likely will at some point.For now, at lesat we've got FMP:Brotherhood which will be ongoing for quite awhile.
All these K-ON! haters likely think Queen's Blade and Death(bore me to death)Note are works of art, which only goes to show taste in anime means nothing.
Anyone for another season Of Full Metal Panic?
I'm sure you would, nerd.
Well, Queen´s Blade at least has lots of oppai.
Rageragerageragerageragerageragerage~
just had to put it here
maybe the next season gonna fall onto December 21, 2012
then maybe otaku rages will end the world
As usual sankaku complex is filled with lamer teens who don't understand what real anime is about. K-On is slice-of-life, and while it is good slice-of-life, ultimately it is moe, and because it is moe, there is a lack of plot. I find it saddening you young people have never been exposed to good anime like Escaflowne, Lain, Bubblegum Crisis OVA, Tenchi Muyo OVA and the original Sailor Moon. You'd be surprised at how good they are, but you disregard them because they're "old". Such fail, my young friends, such fail.
throw in Agent Aika,Saber Marionette J and gunsmith cats to that list~~
Excuse me? Mr. Anony-asses ~
Real animé started way back (before) the 50's and 60's...
But first, please allow me say that I going to defend these young ones here and Sankaku complex.
Age ~
For starters, I am an "Old Fucker"... close to 50! (yep, it's true) I am.
*GASP!* - O.O - OMG! He's fucking ancient!
Yes, I am and I also admit that I enjoy the animé I watched past, present, and future...
So NOT everyone here, is as YOU say ~
"a lamer teen who doesn't understand what real animé is about."
Just because some here were not exposed or didn't know about any older animé doesn't make them ~ LAME.
They just hadn't known about them, and if they did know about them, maybe they are not so interested in them.
I don't fault them.
They are a new generation and so will have their animé favourites, interests and that's fine by me.
Sankaku Complex ~
This is a place that has a variety of different people from all over, with vast opinions on several issues (in addition) to the fetishes and animé enjoyments which also vary.
This site stimulates conversation, debate, and yes... *fapping*
Slice of life animé ~
(quote) ~
"K-On is slice-of-life, and while it is good slice-of-life, ultimately it is moe, and because it is moe, there is a lack of plot."
That type of animé started and was combined within the stories of ~ "Gigantor" ~ and ~ "Astro Boy" ~ since its inception back in the 1950's and 60's and probably before you were even a glint in mum's and dad's eyes... (plus) those shows were in Black and White. and later in colour.
This was followed by series named ~ "Kimba: the White Lion" ~ (which Disney stole from) and "Speed Racer".
Did they have Moe qualities in them? you better believe it.
Did they have a "slice of life story" in them... yes they did.
Granted ~ not all characters/stories had the "Moe" attributes as they do now...but, it was there, just not as pronounced.
But wait ~
Before I get ahead of myself, let me set some examples from Wiki on the History of Animé:
Let's start with WWII.
(Wiki) ~
"Disney had a strong influence on the animators at that time, but due to commercial issues Japanese animations at that time didn't have a high production standard, but were rather pale imitations of Disney productions (repeating scenes and gags, after recording of sound and so on).
Disney also used sound film very early but that was too expensive for most Japanese studios until the mid 30s."
What is Disney known for back then? Thats right "Moe"
(Wiki) ~
"In 1948, Toei Animation was founded and produced the first colour animé feature film in 1958, Hakujaden (The Tale of the White Serpent, 1958)."
If you look at the movie poster for White Serpent, its what? ~ Moe like.
"This film was more Disney in tone, However, it is widely considered to be the first "animé" ever, in the modern sense.
It was released in the US in 1961 as ~ "Panda and the Magic Serpent."
Did this lack a plot? No it did not.
Then comes the 60's ~
Where I mentioned the several series that I was exposed to and watched (after school) back in the day.
and during that time since the 50's... animé continued to evolve and grow and become more pronounced here in the States.
(quote) ~
"I find it saddening you young people have never been exposed to good anime like Escaflowne, Lain, Bubblegum Crisis OVA, Tenchi Muyo OVA and the original Sailor Moon.
You’d be surprised at how good they are, but you disregard them because they’re “old”. Such fail, my young friends, such fail."
You ~ "fail" ~ Sir, in (assuming) that all here are young, and also ~ "fail" ~ in (assuming) that (others) here have NOT seen the titles you mentioned.
I have seen them, plus those that your companion mentioned ~ "Agent Aika", "Saber Marionette J" and "Gunsmith Cats".
and what about Burn Up! OVA? Have you forgetton that one?
Ndeed, all are action oriented animé titles, with smexy female heroines, but the "Moe" factor was beginning to take root in some characters, it was subtle...but there.
Animé will continue to evolve, and whether it is Moe, Action, Hentai, or Guro...
That generations enjoyment will differ...
Too long, yet worth reading. Tbh, anime back in the 80-90's didn't even have any less Moe elements than what we have now (except for the fact that recent Moe franchises are more popular), in fact Shoujo characters back in those days also tend to oftenly abuse the act of being comically cute.
Then again, trying to do an Oldschool>Newschool argument by using Sailormoon as an example is seriously a joke. Nanoha has already proved that a Mahou Shoujo series can do something more badass than just dancing around for 2 minutes and shooting Gay Hearts on baddies..
tl;dr.
Shitty series deserve a shitty ending.
These comments made me sad...
You make ME sad.
KyoAni can't do 2 anime series at the same time... Although it seems Munto and Clannad AS overlapping the truth is that it isn't overlapping so much. Iirc, the first 6 episodes of Munto are basically the same as the ova/movie. And even if they have enough material to do 24 episodes for K-On, they still would end it right here and do Haruhi and then continue K-On (or whatever project they want to do).
Lool. Your lifes are not over. Even though i have not seen it and i will. I was thinking it would have been a 24/26 ep kinda of anime. To you fans out there hope it does not go in to another haruhi.
That's pretty sad. The last comment pretty much sums it up: There'll always be another moe anime for them to fawn over.
And they seem to conveniently forget that their ultimate Goddess Haruhi is just around the corner. Are they saying the world will end even when their God has returned?
In fact, the new Haruhi episode: Endless Eight, if speculation is correct, comes next week.
Aww that was one show I actually thought everyone was moe. But other than that
WTF happened to Mugi's face and Yui's hair in the picture? D:<
Even before people complained, I already see season 2 from far away and if possible I don't want to admit it.
Yes, complaints, people, is the fastest way to let the studio hear you. *awesome face*
Oh darn, I can't use the strikethrough HTML tag? Buggers! I failed.
and as soon as Haruhi 2009 gets a second episode it shoots back to #1...
Wait a minute when did this become K-On! vs. Haruhi? I like both shows. Stop the Hate. Don't Emo over Moe
Have to agree with that :3
this is just unfair, it too fast... in depression just knowing its gonna end that fast
My life is over... :|
Manga is better anyway....
Hey all u haters out there you said that K-ON! is a moe-crap/shitty series,but i don't see the difference in Haruhi seriously man.Haruhi doesn't even fall short of the f***ed up moe-crap u all talking about here.
Solution:
IF the merchandise(Tissues) for K-ON! comes out you and all the Haruhi fans can all go on a Fapping parade together and maybe you guys will learn too calm down.
Have a nice day,:D
oh cool. an internet argument between serious plot-fag VS moe-fag
interesting indeed/ *grabs popcorn and continue reading*
Why don't we like them both equally? What SO WRONG about MOE anyway? I'm not a big fanboy of moe but I know that this kind of anime is always fun to watch and enjoyable.. Srs plot is really good too..
I know that cuz I enjoy both too.
but sorry, I do have to admit that K-ON is still overrated.
at first, I thought it would be a music anime like Beck. that would be cool.
but now, what do we get? moemoemoemoemoemoe.
its getting boring.
thats just my opinion, though
>Next season everyone will be fawning over some other moe anime anyway…
the truest of the true.
NOOOOOOO!!
FINALLY!
WOW! YOU ARE FUCKING LOSERS WHO THINK YOUR LIFE IS OVER BECAUSE OF THIS SHOW...SHOWS WHY JAPANESE SUICIDE----------------->NO LIFE!
Ｙ ＳＯ ＣＥＲＥＡＬ
Don't worry... they will back.
me parece perfecto que termine. K-ON me pareció un estreno malísimo con una serie que se ha estancado desde que apareció Asuza. Lejos de aportar algo nuevo que como regla todo personaje introducido a mitad de la historia debería hacer lo unico que hizo es ser una Mini-Mio. una verdadera verguenza. K-ON apenas es entretenida y las razones de su exito se debe a que el otaku promedio no tiene nada en la cabeza ya y que muchos no saben mirar animé. La corto aca porque sinó se pudre todo...
Thank god it's finally ending.
I agree
@Lord Felix
Donde te pare a encontrar, pues estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo aunque sea pocas veces solo aporto Mio y puro moeshit(I'm sure that otakus will understand this part) al menos recuerdo que en Index si metian a personajes nuevo por arco como es su estilo era para aportar elementos a la trama en K-On no se avanzo nada
I hate Kanon and Key Arts by extention, but that anime have more moe than K-no!
Second season for 2013(?)
it's ridiculous to end in the middle of the second year, at least cover all highshool (like luckystar did) for god's sake! "I'll sue!!!"
Ha! Now you bastards know how it was for me with Scrapped Princess!
meanwhile a 2nd season a 1 movies later.....
io0j
There's still the junior and senior years to go as well as the fate of the band(will they make it to Budokahn?).I wouldn't worry about there being a season 2, that virtually ensured by the series' super popularity and potential for being a merchandise cash cow.What i would worry about is how long will it take Kyani to produce the second season.
I cant help but lol in some peoples faces
despite all hyped moe-hater trolls, K-ON! is pure win!
guys, don't die now! else u won't be there for K-ON S2!
rage all you want, but stay alive, the girls in keionbu will need our love!
