k-on-kimono.jpg

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

    I liked and enjoyed the series, but it's nothing more than that. Just light-hearted amusement.

    Plus the drama thing in 11 threw me off. Found it odd and weird. Either way I could care less if this finishes. As some people have said, there's still Haruhi

    I don't get the K-On bashing...
    A lot of people loved it and the characters were good. I think Haruhi is overrated, too random for me, it all depends on your tastes. Personally I think EP1 of Haruhi sucked. Even though some were slow I can't really say that about any of the EP of K-On.

    Wow, that sure moved fast. They'd need another season to make it to the bokudon, and even then that's crazy fast. They should've done a bit more character and band development and done a season per year of school. Meh, it was cute while it lasted.

    Lets be honest its otakus that are crazy about K-on not anime fans as a whole. After a while the moe type dry random comedy gets old and boring, ok we can all admit its extermely cute to the utmost degree, but they aim at comedy and that is where it fails.

    ah, but lucky star is more of a linear life manga, but K-ON on the other hand wants the cast to achieve the role of rockstars..

    at least this is what i figured out

    Hmm you're right... It's a waste to end K-ON so soon. Kyoani does not really show that they heed the demand of fans (e.g Haruhi), but eventually they'll do something about it.

    Hope?

    yeah, i want to see them do the rockstar thing, like what ritsu said in the early episodes of K-ON

    maybe kyoani is going to finish haruhi 1st then K-ON again?

    The chances are there'll not be another K-On season until they really have to make another low budget anime.

    Besides... wouldn't you rather they focussed on moar Haruhi or Full Metal Panic?

    but Lucky Star was 24 or 23 or somewhere in the 20s of episodes. K-on has barely gone past 10 (11 to be exact?)

    So an S2 is more likely than unlikely and this is probably just a delay for more material from Ze mangarr.

    But an S2 lucky star would also fill in my moe addiction

    More than likely there will be. Except it will be made up of smaller scenes thrown in the episode already out. All episodes will go from 25 minutes to 35. They won't tell anyone that it is re-airing, it will just happen.

    Well, it has 13 episodes according on anidb and ann, with the 13th one called 冬の日! (Winter Days!)... not sure what info is true though (I don't know the source of the 12 episodes hearsay to compare)... I don't know if they'll manage to squeeze Yui's sickness and next gakuensai into the 12th episode, but who knows... S2 is unlikely, there isn't any manga content to base it on yet...

    Oh, I see... the teaser for 12th episode has a "Final - Kei On!" text... So either there actually won't be the 13th episode, or it will be something like the "Natsuyasumi no Dekigoto" episode of Clannad...

    That's what I read, that there was going to be 12 or 13 episodes. I'm not shocked at this. I knew next week was going to be the final episode since I did my research early on how many episodes this was going to be.

    Though I do hope for a 13th episode or a 2nd season.

    Makes some sense, since next week likely marks the first in a consecutive run of new Haruhi episodes. They're gonna need to focus most of their energy on that for a while.

    Comment by Pandemonium
    05:16 13/06/2009 # ! Neutral (0)

    Kyo-Ani aint. There's no effort there. Kadokawa choose when they're shown.

    The likely reaon is that K-On is, in fact, a filler anime, only made to keep us entertained while we wait for Haruhi 2. It's not that they need to put more time into haruhi, it's that they just don't care about K-On.

    The standard was always sub par and it dropped even further after Haruhi S2x1 was aired.

    You people need to realise that this anime is only here to keep us Haruhi fans entertained! :3

    I can say that ppl consider Lucky Star as Good and refuse to similarize it with K-ON! because of the Otaku elements, Hirano Aya as Konata, tons of other anime references icludding putting Haruhi in a Juice commercial, and did a lot of marketing ploys (Kagamiku anyone?).

    I applauded K-ON! for hardly using any cheap publicities or cameo marketings in order to gain popularity.

    while your point is very valid about capitalist market pressures, there ARE plot and thought heavy animes out there. They just are too popularized as other moe anime and people dont bother to search or research for them.

    the general public does want slice of life and moe animes, or battle shounen because anime is primarily entertainment, and then secondary, a mode of artist expression.

    Just because you dont see clever anime popularized as much as others, doesnt mean they dont exist.

    Exactly the issue here. Because all these no lifers/girlfriends otaku only want moe moe crap, the anime market is responding to it. More and more resources are put into producing shit shows like Strike Witches, K-on, Lucky Star, Kannagi and other moe crap instead of plot heavy animes.

    troll is can be trolling.
    i personally am a fan of both thinker animes and "moe-crap" death note was a great series, but after school, exams, work, how many people would really feel like figuring out the plot of death note? I would rather watch something that was fun and cute to relax with, like k-on, or lucky star.
    but you also got to remember that some of the most popular series are total shit, *cough* naruto/bleach *cough* so if your going to bitch about popular anime go bitch about those, where everyone else hates you more =D

    while that may be true and all, the anime industry and the subculture industry is blooming because of said otaku. the regulars and non otaku rarely purchase enough chara goods and/or dvd etc to fund the industry and the industry will obviously cater to where it can continue to survive. Moe moe do seem to be in a general trend upwards clearly in the market but there is a reappearance of thinker anime with each season. the market is always in cycle, from trend to trend and so there will be periods of when people will be bogged down by deathnote heavy seasons and k-on heavy seasons. it all boils down to, if you dont like what you're watching, you're USUALLY free to choose something else. no need to bring the hate on something you dont like just because you dont like it.

    yes naruto/bleach are directed terribly and animation is subpar.

    They just got Azunyan, seems like a rather abrupt ending. I guess I'm a bit glad. Some people I know who watch it were too obsessed with the music. It was fairly annoying since it didn't have that much merit to me.

    Meh this is normal,usualy they don't have enough material from the manga and can't use it anymore in anime if they ran out of material.

    Goes for many things,also mangas are made easier that is why you can usualy see the actual ending in the manga and not in the anime,you need many things to make an anime.

    Just like chocotto sister,they ended it with 24 episodes in the anime,but the manga is still on-going already beating the anime in the story.
    But i must say the anime was pretty good with all it's extras.
    Also Dears anime only showed a part of the story where the manga actualy ended it.
    Also gto anime.

    I think this is just perfect.

    12 episodes per serie is just awesome. It follows the manga story, there are no stupid fillers that ruin the atmosphere, baiting fans with crap. Next year, when running a new serie, they'll start from where they left, giving the author the chance to go on with the story as it should. I seriously think this is for the best, and i really hope that all animes taken from mangas will follow this path, when starting to air before a good number of released chapters.

    no production of kyoani has been drastically long... theres no precedent for use of fillers, so why make the filler argument?

    Fact is they are withdrawing a popular hit moe anime in a crucial time and it may hurt them. But its most likely a planned operation as the manga is only 2 volumes, theres the Haruhi project and most likely other animes/works. To my knowledge kyoani is a relatively small elite type studio and doesnt do several projects at once like say JC staff, gonzo, sunrise, A-1 or etc.

    Ah, thanks for the info.

    You know...

    I watch a variety of different animé and (honestly)... I don't bother about what company made it, or how many episodes there will be.
    If the animation looks good, story grabs my attention from the start, the Character are cool and become defined, then I will watch every episode from the start.

    However, some that I watched, start off well and then falter along the way.

    I personally enjoyed K-On! and Haruhi... but I couldn't get into Lucky Star. No matter how I tried, it just didn't connect with me.

    The only thing that bothered me about K-On! was the tapering feet of the characters. ~ but, that's just the way the animé was created.

    I'm just amazed by all the banter that's occurring over the upcoming end to the series.

    Some like certain series, some don't... so who's to judge?

    you tend to defend what you like and when a post that signals the ending of K-on is filled with "THANK god its over etc. etc." or "no more moe moe!" youll obviously get the opposite side of the argument. Thus we get this long and in all truth, pointless banter as each has their own opinion.

    But the internet is for judging. judging is an expression of the opinion, so really its not the right to judge but the option for everyone to judge everything.

    that said, will miss k-on with a passion

    It wouldn't make a difference if they did it with fillers anyway duh. The episodes so far are fillers quality. How difficult is it for shit writers to write episodes like eating cake, going to the beach, occasionally strumming and inserting random moe scenes? Any shit writer can do that.

    I mean, the *new* Haruhi Ep was shown and now (this) sudden unexpected turn of events with K-On!?

    I will not be surprised if new (additional) Haruhi Eps started up soon.

    The last 2ch comment is correct. K-On will end, and the next moe nonsense will pop up.
    And everyone will forget K-On ever existed.

    It happened with Manabi Straight(and briefly Hidamari) and it happened with Lucky Star for a bit(The moment K-on ended).

    This crap isn't some great anime landmark that will live in your heart for ages. It's throwaway trash you'll forget about soon enough.
    If an upstart band trying to make it big in the harsh music world is really your thing, go watch Beck.

    Stating the obvious, but this is my opinion. K-On isn't very good, and you've all seen this same show in various incarnations over the past decade.
    Tsugumi is alright though.

    beck's very good. and yes, k-on is nothing like beck. pardon me for not having the same opinion, but k-on is worse but also at the same time better in different ways than beck. yes it is a nonsense, but a good nonsense is good. this k-on thing is just not your thing, sire.

    I wasn't saying the two were similar(I wouldn't do that to Beck).

    If you are watching for the music(Which has to be a really small amount of people), Beck would be a far better choice.

    If you are watching for the moe bullshit, watch any of the dozens of moe-nonsense shows with overall better animation.

    The whole moe thing and the massive hype are why most people are watching. There is no real story, the characters are clones of everything ever created. Tsugumi is still alright though.

    People obviously like K-on, and moe crap in general. I can't change that obviously, but I can state my opinion on the show, the same as you or anyone else. I will make mass generalizations, because that's what any "argument" online ends up basing it's claims on.

    I think it's terrible. Yui and Tsugumi are the only ones who(to me) have interesting character designs, even though the animation, for the most part, is really bad.
    Why do they have such difficulty drawing arms of all things?
    I know what the appeal of the show is, and it's just not for me, obviously.

    i hate most moe moe shows and i do think there's really nothing in them but moeness. Lucky Star and K-ON! i found them different, most probably because kyo ani excels at directing such 4koma based comedy show.

    about the animation i don't think such nonsense slice-of-life show would need a good one. as for myself, i group K-ON! together in the same genre as azumanga, minami-ke, lucky star for the comedy content (where everybody is all for the lulzy nonsenses and nobody really cares for good body proportions). IMO in this genre, even a godlike level animation won't make for crappy comedic scenes.

    "Why do they have such difficulty drawing arms of all things?"

    Because that's the art style of the show and KyoAni is emulating the simplistic design from the manga, just like how they did with Lucky Star.

    seriously, the animation was great for this type of genre. Body proportions...are to be exact and realistic? Each and every anime is different with its own set of animated sizes and designs, how can you argue that one's depiction of characters is worse or better than another?

    But you are entitled to your opinion and yes yui is godlike amazing cuteness.

    In terms of its own worth, K-on is quite decent with its well directed uuber moe scenes, and more often than not, cute characters who sponge up the attention of the viewer. There were only a few animation mishaps and those were relatively minor as well.

    For those who whine about 'no plot/story', its K-on. A high school musical club with no male character and no real plot conflicts. Obviously its not supposed to enthrall viewers with clever twists or incredible plotline. Just take it as it is, a moe moe anime, that in my opinion, excels at captivating a large portion of the viewers as well as offering good hearty entertainment.

    I wasn't too concerned with the episodes themselves (I usually make a video and replace the music with much better tunes), it's the fanart I adore. With the final episode coming out there will be a decline in fanart! And that means less of Yandere Ui and less of boke Yui!

    You all are forgetting a few things.First of all.All you had to do was check Amazon and you would see that there are listing for SEVEN K-ON! Blurays/DVDs, each with two episodes per disc, plus a decent ammount of extras.They aren't going to put one episode on the 7th disc and expect it to sell.Chances are there will be a 14th disc only ova,similar to what was done with Kannagi's last dvd and the extra episode of Clannad After Story on the upcoming 8th dvd.

    Given K-ON's popularity i also wouldn't be surprized if there was a second season at some point within the next year.Hopefully this time they'll go the 24 episodes.I was thinkig it would end with the girls eventiually making it to Budokhan.

    I don't think they will actually end the K-on franchise. If nothing else they will stop until they have enough manga material to make a second season (though I don't know how far have they adapted since I'm not reading it). The fact is: manga is still ongoing so there will most likely be a second season. Don't think they would be so stupid to the point off throwing away a gold mine.

    There's the problem with your reasoning... "The age of Haruhi is over", despite the fact that it was more popular than K-ON in its time, and is currently (kinda) airing a second season. Are you really so naive as to think the same thing won't happen with K-ON? They may make a second season but something else will steal the moe-crowd's attention by then, and nobody's going to care anymore.

    Comment by Atsuke
    01:32 14/06/2009 # ! Neutral (0)

    It depends. Obviously the moe will be stolen by another series sooner or later, we can see that by remember the Haruhi - Nagi - Mio example. But
    if K-on goes on like Clannad, then its fame will continue steadily. Haruhi was serious case of troll, I don't think I remember that happening to a famous franchise like Haruhi was.

    Anyway: Haruhi is fucking annoying. She's egocentric, conceited, is always screaming with everyone, likes molesting people - is a bitch. Who would ever like a person with that attitude? She must have been raped when she was little or I will never understand why she's such a bitch.

    At last, someone finally mentioned how annoying Haruhi is and how she doesn't even deserve to be that hugely popular (Funny, ppl found developing Tsunderes like Taiga and Shana annoying but not Haruhi?). The only part that i kinda liked her was during the school festival episode. The characters that i actually love and worth watching imo are Nagato and Kyon, and some side characters like Tsuruya and Ryoko.

    Well, i'll just wait and see the second season, wether she's going to stop being a b!tch or not..

    was 13 episodes long. I don't see why fans
    are upset that this is a 12 episode TV Anime.

    Because Haruhi= 13 mindfuck episodes, all mixed, with a main character that acts like a bitch all the time = torture (aside the parts where Nagato and Tsuruya appear).

    And Zero no Tsukaima has nothing to do with K-On!since it's more a ramen/ecchi anime than anything else, which K-On! isn't.

    There's actually 13 episodes. Known it since the first episode started.

    ANN reports the last episode to be entitled "Winter Days" so more than likely a low key episode during Christmas time. Possibly another party perhaps? Anyways, I don't expect too much from the last episode other than hopefully some winter jamming before the season ends.

    It's airing the week after so mark your calendars and pray to Haruhi for a second season.

    Its nothing less than a custom to discontinue good and well selling anime. As we have been shown times and times again, its return is never as glamorous as many expect it to be.

    Goddam, its just a anime, and not a very good one at that, I mean come on, a anime about a couple of school girls life? its been done OVER and OVER again.
    Only reason it has so many fans is because the fans had loli and moe characters to fap too.

    relax, goddamn, noone is really dying cause of K-on, (except me...). its called exaggeration, no need for negative comments on this. When you like something a lot, you tend to want it to stay... FOREVAAAAAAAA. im tired of these 'OMG ITS JUST ANIMEZORS CALMZORS'

    stop taking random internet comments like 'OMG I KILLZ MYSELF 4 YUI!!!!! >=OOOOOOOOO' and/or learn/study/relearn/restudy the flow of the nets of innerness or ie the internet.

    and if your comment is similiar in pattern to mine, i apologize and bid you a good fucking dai

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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?

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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..

    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!

    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...
