Which is which? With the airing of Kishida Mel designed martial anime Sora no Woto, viewers have immediately been struck by its resemblance to a certain moe-blob anime of note, even stronger than previously noted, albeit with the addition of pantsu…
K-ONification indeed.
The pantsu:

I can't tell which show is which!
You should get your eyes checked.
That's supposed to be a tongue in cheek joke.
It probably has the same plot progression as K-On, too.
I have to say I really like moe-blob style, though it's true that they need to make it more unique x.x
I actually noticed this during the Kannagi airing, and saw resemblances on K-On.
BEHOLD the future of anime!
Yea right, since Sora no Woto is the one and only anime aired for this season,eh?
Reminds me of True Tears..
Moe Moe Kwon!
As much as I like the animation style, i hope A-1 Pictures does not stay with this style for every new thing they do. :\ K-ON was great, Kannagi was awesome, but i don't think i wanna keep seeing the same thing over and over. AIR/Kanon/Clannad was enough.
I smell a law suit coming for A1 from Kyoto Animation.
Please... murder them all. Murder them all, please!!
THEY MUST DIE FOR THEIR MARKETING
mio isn't anything like rio imo
'cept the name and hair style
There is one difference between the two shows, art-wise. The Sora no Woto eyes are drawn slghtly different from the K-On girls, SnW eyes have more crescent shaped irises while K-on irises are thicker and more rounded.
It's by the same studio that made Kannagi, if anything it'd be a ripoff from that.
Not a big deal either way, as long as the story is good.
so, is this k-ON season 2?
Yeah : K-ON goes Boot Camp ^^
I will take it like this.
Yea! Anime is going all moe now! :DD
A similar as trigun and berserk Id say, that is, just slightly similar.
It's not essentially a moeblob style but k-on face imitation style(the rest of their bodies aren't in the same style). The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya was moe and it didn't look anything like this(until the second season of course).
I imagine that if the first season of haruhi was released in now instead it would still get the derp derp generic moeblob shit style killing anime going around this days.
It's called the Tomatina, from Buñol (Spain)
Ummm I guess it's easier to animate and stuff this way? Maybe?
What the heck is wrong with you, anime industry? Stop running into your doom!
At least they gave us pantsu instead of rice bowl.
Anyway its the character style design just like Hisashi Hirai and his character designs which looks pretty similar even in different anime. (Gundam Seed, Infinite Ryvius, Fafner etc.)
but these are two completely different character designers and animation studios
The original manga is quite the same.
Original manga?
What's with all the moe-haters ever since K-On! came out.....I mean, it's a successful anime that served it's purpose beautifully. it wasnt trying to be "deep", or meaningful or shit, it's supposed to overload you with moe, and it did an insanely good job at it.
moe-hating fags.
As a former soldier I would have loved to share a foxhole with any of those girls. Maybe, I would have reenlisted if I could have came on the job instead of having to leave the base to get some.
I'm sad. The art was so nice and now it's moe blobbed. I mean nothing against it but the other was much better.
Since K-ON! strabismus is not counted as error anymore, the characters look like they need eye sugery and the whole style is a anatomic failure at the faces.
I can't even take the show seriously anymore...not even the manga....
And the Moe boom keeps on going....now to see how big this show will get.

I have the feeling the K-On! style is probably easy to copy. It's not bad though, in my opinion. Although I'd like to see some preservation of variety.
I agree, it's not a bad style, and looks easy to animate, but I wish they would "try" more. It pains me a bit to go watch Air TV, looking at the attention and details they put into the character animation, making sure to look as close to the original source material, then watch Sora no Woto knowing it's done by the same studio. It's like they stopped caring and decided to stick with one style now.
Well, first of all, Sora no Woto is not by the same studio as any of the Air TV's.
Second, the Sora no Woto anime is the original source material.

Those are two different things.. This was handled by A-1 Pictures and Air was handled by KyoAni.
La Tomatina in Spain, but this is...discolored water.
I actually found it very enjoyable. Other than the character designs, I don't see why everyone is comparing this to K-ON!.
Have seen that many times. Damn, Moe still wins but ... thats nearly a copy.. or it IS the style.
Rip off~! D= But, pantsu makes everything better so it's all good.
fag
hooo... very similar indeed. Well I really don't care much if the art style is similar to K-On or Kannagi as long as the story is interesting. If it's something like K-On too story wise then meh... K-On simply just didn't appeal to me. =/
K-On! didn't really have a story though.
Indeed.... What story was he talking about again?
Everone will Fap.
even though the Mio rip off looks like a bull dike.
The cats on AnimeTake were kinda goofing on this too.
Yes, MIO- clone looks like a BullDike. The story concept alone doens't interest me so I won't even bother.
Looks like another case of moe-nification...
(Haruhi S2, K-ON!)
Need some paheal of this NOWWWWWWWWW.
Reminds me far more of Sakaki.
What's with the orange shirts in the last picture?
Orengie.
Orengie ja nai!
'Orengie-kun.'
'Yes, My Lord!'
faggotry.
isn't there some sort of annual event in a European country that involved tomatoes?
i remember seeing something on tv along these lines but for the life of me i can't remember o.O
Spain, some moronic event where people waste tomatoes and then the following day they may preach about charity for the third world. Yeah, I live there, I should know.
well in their defense, feeding hungry people tomatoes will give them hyper-acidity...
Weren't they throwing some orange liquid around for some festival or something?
It's Happy Happy Giraffe Appreciation Day
I came.
baaah... eso ya se sabia desde mucho antes XD
Takuan!!
They were probably throwing tomatoes at each other.
Don't tell anyone... It's leprosy....
believe it or not a tomatoe stain doesn't turn red.
Some tomatoes are orange if you pick them at the right time.
tomatoes are red. not orange.
