Oh well it least this brings some interest in music.

But getting on to the main topic, I saw a few episodes of K-ON!, and I enjoyed it, just like Haruhi and Lucky Star. They weren't exactly masterpieces, but whatever they were enjoyable in my opinion. You see, I look at anime as the same as I do video games and movies: Not everything has to be as amazing Ocarina of Time or Kill Bill, but as long as it's entertaining, it's ok in my book.

Too many tl;dr's!!!

SHUT THE FUCK UP, THE ALL OF YOU.

nuff said.

How odd then that I like both of those shows and still highly enjoyed K-ON! Is it really such a crime to like K-ON! and similar anime among all of the other (more serious) ones?

If your sole complaint is that sales of these type of shows result in more of these shows being made, then I hate to break it to you but unless people massively start dropping these shows, this trend will last for quite some time.

P.s. if you reply to this message i guess that means i win (if your to stupid to know how i won than you are below average intelligence)

This was not a suprprise for those fans in the know. K-on was on the cover of three, count 'em, three magazines back in May, and they are doing well in the Megami poster features too. The fans have spoken, and it is "Moe, moe, kyun!" ^_^

Ridiculous logic. A series that may not have any redeeming artistic value doesn't equal cancer. Attaching something like "artistic value" is, without a doubt, subjective, yet, so easy to be envision by fans and disputed by haters. What's more, there are series out there that don't have any real artistic values, but a number of them are good, are enjoyable and aren't cancer.

And were you implying that moe has no artistic value because...moe? If you are, I'll tell you now that you're terribly mistake. Moe is simply just reactions by the viewers/readers to character trait. It's essentially nothing more than traits. And whether or not a series have value should be decided based on an evaluation of its totality, and not just because of one attribute.

That sounds kinda like bullshit. Seems to me you're just generalizing. Otakus also like TTGL, Gundam, and K-ON. And they also buy the dvds. What now? Otakus don't limit themselves to just moe. It may be higher up on their list of interest or priority, but it's not everything. Hardcore otaku of moe or whatever is a different case.

Really, god forbids a series that's aimed generally towards otaku produced sales because otaku themselves buy it. They know what they want, and like, so they've become more aware of that. Buy what I like, pirate the rest. Sounds familiar, no? Of course, a series aimed towards otaku is not always limited by scope; other people of different age or "group can come to like such series as well. And those people do buy.
