K-ONification

Degradation. If I wanted all my anime to look the same I'd go hire some popular twats from Deviantart.

Fuck this shit.
Moe has ruined anime.
I WANT MY HARUHI BACK.

gunslinger girl season 1 + k-on = Il Teatrino

i just started watching so called "moe" anime so i cant get enoug of it but imo lucky star, K-On and haruhi only good moes

K-on could very well be the worst thing to happen to anime of recent times, possibly ever.

Wait, what?

Lucky Star finished way before K-On even started, right? How could they have moefied it?

Hey, but kyoani doesn't even animate sora no woto (the last one), right?

Haruhi and Lucky Star already were two steaming piles of boring moe crap, who cares how their godawfully boring characters look like.

seems more like a change of artist and pplz are going overboard about it

You forgot to mention Seiken no Blacksmith. The K-ON!-esque designs of the girls were such a put off, made worse by the presence of Cecily in the anime.

Lucky star always looked like that.

degration but improvement in the moe dept.

This is just plain degradation of quality. I enjoyed watching K-ON! but to apply it to everything is just....... I don't know what to call it.

The sudden influx of moeblobs is one of the reasons that it's hard for me to get into anime anymore. Everything seems to look so similar that nothing catches my eye at all.

Moe has been gradually disintegrating anime for years. K-ON isn't the cause of moeification, it's the result.

degradation...some anime's just aren't meant for moe. They're made for the story and for the minds of people who actually have them.

Umm, wasn't LS moe to begin with?
Actually, wasn't LS WAY more moe than k-on to begin with?
btw, who's that character at the bottom?

I like the original art more. Not that I'm against k-onification.

I want to see a moe version of Witchblade.

Whatever suit your tastes. I like them both.

This reminds me of the Supermanification of Batman...

Degradation definitely.

Just look at the after pictures for Haruhi and the last anime, they look like they have down syndrome.

the way to tell if it's been k-onified is if they're mouths are open :0

I think couple of those transitions with K-on's moeblobness

feeling like overall this was just shits and giggles
so kudos

is like in railgun, desgins are way moefied from index, kuroko most of the time have 2 heads and a half in prportion to the body, at least they are subtle changes, not like the change in saber marionette x to saber marionette x to j

I know studio art changes over time, but...man. Go look at some of the really stylized and beautiful scenes from AIR from a few years ago and then relook these over. It's almost painful. I'm not saying the K-On style is terrible or anything, for that show it's cute and suitable, but to apply it to all their stuff? I hope to God this doesn't catch on too much.

That Lucky Star image is terrible. Everyone looks so cross eyed and off from the original design.

All I have to say after looking at these pictures is: is that really Haruhi in the second picture, and if so why? Why would anyone do that?

Ugh; K-ON'd Haruhi is all baby-faced. That doesn't work; she's actually quite developed.

after all Kyoani turned into the EA of anime

K-ON copied Lucky Star's style you fools.

Wow, So・Ra・No・Wo・To's original designs are drawn by the same artist who did Roronoa.. Damn.

Oh well, still going to look forward for it. There's a Meganekko Mugi in there :3

i think everyone is being a little to serious its not like were looking at animation shots its some cover art for magazines and the like. its not that i dont care about what it looks like but what it looks like dosnt change what its about

K-on has an interesting style, but I miss the old KyoAni... :'(

Too much degradation...

Otakus conclusion: Degradation, theme close xD

This is because most animation studios have shipped their labor to China and Korea.

Problem is, these people can't create anything original, only produce poor copies of mediocre source material.

I can't tell the difference!

What have they done to my Haruhi? They all look like noseless blobs! ;_; What's so special about K-On's style anyway?

Not a big difference, but I prefer the originals. The last comparison isn't fair by any means, though it looks great both before and after.

Inb4 K-ON Geass

This is exactly why I loathe K-ON...

The original to Sora no Wo To is way cuter than the K-Onified version

Forced moe is forced.

I liked K-ON moe art; however, I don't want other anime to get keionificated. I'm not defying moe art. I just want to see different moe styles and not just a standardized one.

Shouldn't be Kannagiifcation?

lucky star looks basically the same.

The Lucky Star comparison is a bit of a stretch.

Am I the only one who doesn't see much of a difference? It's all still typical anime to me.

What the fuck?! Why are they forcing this shallow K-ON bullshit on other anime? I think it's ugly as fuck, if I see an ep of Haruhi that looks like this I'm gonna take the next plane to Tokyo and start massacring shit.

This looks less like K-onifwtf and more like the artists smoked themselves retarded and forgot how to draw.

who cares, k-on sucks

KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!

They are intent on ruining everything we love

I may get a lot of hate for this comment, but I actually did not like the style of K-On! too much...

Don't bring up K-ON!
Dx I already have nightmares..

owo the only difference I see in the Lucky Star picture is the eyes.
They look.. less moe.. more.. duhh.

I usually don't dwell on the Haruhi==K-ON! character designs but...

Well now that I think about it... Oh no.... If they're going to handle future Key works with that kind of character design... Then by all means crucify them!!!

*yaaawn* perhaps this is the 100th time i saw something like this, i tot people would have all grown up by now.

look, critics are all good, but use your brain wisely, don't let personal hatred take over. K-ON! style lacks bunch of things here an there, and it is very normal to hate it. go hate it all you want, but don't give irrelevant comments like "K-ON! style ruined haruhi season 2", cause WE BOTH KNOW it wasn't the style that ruined it!

for God sake, stay on your senses! when people decide to "pause" their brain like this, that's what a "degradation" really is.

definitely degradation

In some cases improvement where the style could use some more moe but in many other situations its a degradation simply because the title was designed with a certain style in mind and changing the formula has caused degradation.

With Haruhi its hard to focus on what's going on with my mind being distracted with all the moe and normally I wouldn't mind that but I actually want to see something interesting happen and I cant if I am going all stupid over the cute shit.
That never bothered me with K ON! because going retarded and silly over all the silly cute things was the whole point.

In a way moe is like weed, it makes some things better but it can also you can miss many good things.

One day you moe lovers may wake up and realise how shallow, boring and crap moe anime is.

I used to be a victim or its charms then I woke up and destroyed anything moe related in my possession. You're just buying into the fan service, the eye candy, nothing more.

For the love of god wake up out of your moe comas, can't you see how this shallow, bland shit is killing anime.

Anime needs to go back to being gritty, violent, cool, like it was in 80s and 90s, I hate anime now with a passion.

MOE MUST DIE!

the girl at the bottom is out of the anime called "Sora no Oto"

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
GOD NO
WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN
I LOVED SOME OF THESE SO MUCH
SO MUCH...

The Sacred Blacksmith also looks like it has some K-ONification going on

Well, to be fair, Lucky Star had the thing going on before K-on.
Right in the opening even, with the poses with extreme perspective.

So, if something, it would be more accurate to say K-on was influenced by Lucky Star rather than the opposite.

How can Lucky Star be'KON!nified' if there hasn't been any new Anime made post-K-On!?

Honestly there is not that much of a difference in Lucky Star.

Natural progression. People complain about everything.

They improve the art, and you start complaining... Ah fuck you people.

I love K-on, but i thing is degradation!!!

does no one remember episodes like the one where the SOS Brigade goes against the computer club? The style was like that then, too.

And let us not forget about Munto. K-ON is Munto style. Nothing else

萌え～萌え～キュン<3
(moe~moe~kyun<3)

why has ritsu's head been cut off :(

Moe utterly ruined Haruhi.

Ah, and Endless Eight. Bravo Kyoani.

I'd say both Haruhi and Lucky Star look best in their original styles.
