“K-ON! is Not a Moe Anime!”

The headline should have read "K-on Fans In Indefensible Denial".

Meh,dont care if its moe anime or not.It doesnt make a big difference does it?Its ok to enjoy something light once in a while.

Oh,and any other Mugi fan here? :3

No real plot.... it's moe.

It's not any moe anime. It's the Law of Universe XD

So, if it's not moe, than what is it (aside from being a very entertaining show about cute girls doing nothing but lazy around all day while playing some music from time to time)?

Ask yourselves why Fairy Tails airs early and K-ON late....you will have your answer fools! :P

Before you decide what is a 'Moe' Anime, you have to first define 'Moe'. Since no one can agree on a single one meaning, 'Moe' Anime doesn't exist in the general sense.

Problem is the Term MOE is not define properly. Esp between Japanese language and English language. Therefore causing this argument. To my understanding, moe is referred more as a fetish in Japanese.

K-ON! IS MOE!!!
lol, get worked up...

Even if you call a piece of shit an orange, it's still a piece of shit! K-On is moe, get out of fucking denial and deal with it, losers.

A show which contains Moe elements need not necessarily be deemed a Moe element.

Like when studying literature, the play "The Tempest" contains dystopic elements but is not a dystopia.

It's a blob, a cute one, but a blob no less.

K-ON is pretty much a definition of moe:D

So it's not moe 'cause it's "awesome", despite the already deadly amount of moe? Briliant reasoning, I must say. I didn't knew moe is the new sinonime for "good quality", but otaku's sure are creative when it comes for new meanings, even if it's incorrect as hell.

Since azunya is taken already I'll take mio

not a moe anime,it just happen to strike in the hearts of moe addict!

....and i'm not a moe addict!
...

...kyun~

Yeah And GOD Is REAL @_@

It's definitely moe. That's why I'm so repulsed by it.

This is such a stupid argument. They need to realize that "moe" is not an inherently bad thing. When "moe" is done well enough in a show, it's good. When it inspires those feelings of "moe" in viewers to a high enough degree that it can cause arguments like this, that's proof. Japan just needs to look up the meanings of words again and forget their prejudice.

People who hates K-ON probably doesn't have any friends. Because they just don't appreciate the bond between the girls themselves. =]

The only moe thing about K-ON! is Azusa, and she wasn't even intentionally moe to begin with. It's the anime and the fans that made people consider K-ON! as moe. If you read the manga it's just a lighthearted slice-of-life comedy told in 4-koma format, nothing moe about it.

I blame the anime industry for turning a perfectly good manga into what most people seem to consider probably one of the biggest moe blobs ever.

I think it is moe, however the reason I like it is because I remember it. I have been a musician for quite some time and I remember this! It is a different time and a different place but I remember good times and doing dumb things with bandmates and it really makes me nostalgic for those times.

yeah K-on is shit

i hate this animu when watching the first episode

I gave up on "K-ON!" after the first episode.
Here are my reasons:

This anime is too stupid.
This anime is too childish.
This anime is too stereotypical.
This anime has shitty graphics.
This anime is too moe.

That pretty much sums it up...
:-(

It IS a moe anime. moe girls doing moe things. However, unlike most moe blobs, it's rather enjoyable.

Ahaha. K-On is the very definition of a moe anime.
If any anime is, then this one.

always funny to see,ignorant funsub watchers r talkin about anime

“There seem to be a hell of a lot of people about who don’t want to recognise it as a moe anime. From any commoner’s perspective it looks like a moe anime, doesn’t it? Why are people so desperate to deny it?"

That reminds me a lot about our debate over what an RPG was and wasn't.

Also,
“It’s not because it’s entertaining or excellent, it’s because it’s loved. Both the makers and viewers watch over the characters and setting with great affection.”

That just sounds weird to me. Is it just a pleasure to look at? Does one enjoy their on-screen presence? I guess I'll see for myself when it's released in English.

It is but it isnt...but ehhh...whatever helps you fap at night.

oh snap, been watching too much strike witches, the picture looked almost normal to me for a second,

i was like... lucchini and miyafuji sure looks diffe.... oh wait...

It IS a moe anime. Duh. D:

K-ON is a high quality moe anime with good story-telling and loveable cast of characters that not present in any ordinary moe anime .... hows that ...

Hittler =/= moe
Putin =/= moe
K-on! =/= moe

...being Moe is bad?

Lolwut?

"I want to lick Azunyan"

That's a credibility-busting statement right there -_-;;...

The true definition of moe has been butchered over the years. Most people don't know what it originally meant.

K-ON! is everything!! For the sake of our lifes !

if that picture isn't moe, then i dunno what the fuck moe is

it's not moe, it's a girls anime show.

“Moe anime used to be a positive term, but at some point it ended up just meaning anime using catchy pictures to show panchira. That stuff’s rubbish.”

Somehow I think this man is absolutely right...but can't precisely tell why.

K-ON IS NOT MOE.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTT.

Moe anime because there is no concrete plot, really :o Just shows a situation and puts a bunch of moe girls in that situation :P Much like Lucky Star, if I may say

Detroit Metal City > K-ON

By rule 34...there should be a Krauser raping K-ON doujin somehwere.....End of story, goodbye!

must be moe anime, of course

“It’s because it’s not just moe, it’s a reason for living!”

Heheheh... yes indeed.

K-ON is the best!!!

(the following joke is intended for people with an IQ of over 110. If you do not have an IQ at or above this level, please do not be offended by the fact that this joke makes no sense to you.)

Oreo is not a biscuit. I don't know why you think Oreo is a biscuit but it's not. Some of you may go to KFC and get an Oreo with your chicken, but I sir do not. It's just that simple.

ENOUGH!!!

LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS!

Does "moe" mean

(a) Kawaii x 9000
..(ex. entire K-On! cast, Myuki,

or does it mean

(b) fetish for a character type
..(ex:glasses girl, bandage girl, etc)?

OR are there even more definitions that people individually insist "moe" absolutely must mean in spite of the whole world saying they're wrong?

They doth protest too much: It's moe to the max.

WHAT! that's like saying pr0n is'nt pr0n!

Hmmmm I'd have to say its an earnest attempt to manufacture a purely moe anime but still moe can differ from person to person, at least I think. As for me i don't find it entertaining but i do find some parts of it to be moe.

I'd say it's the ultimate moe-anime, being blatant and yet somehow managing to avoid being recognized as one.

Its not a moe anime but its definitely moe~~

“It’s not a moe anime!”

It's very definitely a moe anime. And Lucky Star is way better.

the series is much moeblob than that and I resent some of smoked dies that is a reason to live when probably within a couple of years saying the same thing moe series of turn-on and k! not even remember God.

for the love of God for Christmas I want a azunyan.

Wow. This is really, really fucking stupid. There are so many things wrong with those quotes I would grow old listing them. Complete waste of megabytes.

萌え～

It's a moe anime since in this anime have a lot of references to moe, like the classic Moe Moe Kyun.

K-ON! not a moe anime ? thats like saying Queen Blade is not ecchi or Seikon No Qwaser is not boardline hentai, hell thats like saying killing trolls and burying them in the backyard doesn't make your flowers bloom, 2ch is either trolling or needs to be slapped harder witht he truth.

Yes , K-ON! is built on moe and relies quiet heavily on moesploitation.
You can also see by how K-ON! has influenced other animes these days what the japanese Anime industry thinks has made K-ON! so popular.
That aside , it's not a bad show , quiet the opposite.
In fact , when I started watching it I was somewhat biased towards the anime based on what I'd heard , but I quickly discovered it has other merits besides moe and is actually very funny and entertaining.

Moe. I have not the singlest doubt.

Doesn't even matter that much. Maybe it is Moe but then it is the Moe anime with the most heart ever.

Directly from TVtropes' K-ON! Article:

Moe — All four five girls. Yui's sister Ui qualifies too. Mio, however, deserves special mention, her Moe-ness being over-the-top even by the standards of this show, spawning a Running Gag.

And when Azusa arrives, the show causes a huge moe explosion that obliterates everything within a 100-mile radius.

...That about summarizes my sentiments on the subject.

If K-On! isnt moe, nottin else is..

Moe is moe!

K-ON!! Is MoE!!!

I'm not well-versed with this 'moe' term and I don't see why there should be an argument over whether it's moe or not. Just watch the damn show if you like it and don't watch it if you don't like it.

Maybe it ain't moe
but it sure is rock'n'roll
and I like it, like it, like yeah!

[sing to the tune of the Rolling Stones]

R U FUCKING KIDDING ME??

I watch K-ON! for plot. :B

moeshit.

is not a moe, is a tottaly shitt.

Of course they'd respond with "no", since "moe anime" is often used as a derogatory term. Fanboys will never admit that the object of their, let's call it adorement, is bad, that much is obvious.

Even more so since the phrasing of the question is "just another moe anime", which is basically like asking "is it just another piece of overhyper garbage?" Fanboys, again, won't see anything but their weird delusions.

one of the shittiest piece of moe trash I had the displeasure of wasting my time on. I quit in the middle of episode 4. Everything about it was terrible.

Aren't a majority of 2ch users idiots as well?

Also, whoever said they were being trolled hard is the genius in amongst the morons

Just watch RAINBOW! :D

I would find it really hilarious if KyoAni had Yui lick Azunyan in a later episode, hinting that it is something we will never experience for real

moe or not, it's definitely the most carebearish anime ever created.

so just a stupid anime?
