I'm kind of a newcomer in the anime world and people keep going on about K-On. I've only seen one review of it saying it was kind of a waste of time but it actually looked kind of interesting. So, is it a giant pile of shit or is it a good watch?

Anyways I'll bite. Yes it's worth watching. Even if you don't particularly like slice of life anime, K-on is kind of the flagship moe anime.

Not watching it is like not watching Remember the Titans or Starship Troopers.

I just finished the first season yesterday. I think it's overrated in terms of quality for a number of reasons, but it's still worth watching. It's a cute show.

Sometimes even things that are terrible can be significant in their own way.

No matter how many pop girls came out, people will never forget Brittany Spears.

No matter how many douchebags come out, people will never Forget Justin Bieber.

No matter how many cute girls doing cute things shows come out people will never forget K-on.

That's good to hear. I guess people are talking about season 2 when they praise it?

Anyway, I'm gonna watch it and find out for myself.

A lot of people praise it as a joke.

It's not the greatest show ever.

Edit, people who watched k-on when it came out didnt rage about how K-on was just another Cute Girls anime because K-on didnt come out after K-on made cute girls doing cute things as popular as it is now.

Newcomer?!

Don't waste your time with K-On!

You have to watch Ghost in the Shell, Akira, Cowboy Bebop, Berserk, Ergo Proxy, Tokyo Godfathers, Gurren Lagann, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Fooly Cooly, ect ect.

For the love of god please watch things that won't rot your brain with moe and loli.

That's exactly what I suspected. I didn't really see the difference in K-On than every other "cute girls doing cute things" type shows, so I was wondering if I had to just watch it in a certain perspective.

K-on is a show that you watch because it is entertaining and relaxing.

It wont change your life. It isn't deep. It isn't the Game of Thrones of anime.

The main character isn't a genius. Nobody gets their head blown off. Nobody makes weird crazy faces because their mom died in a freak moose accident.

It's just a cartoon. A really well made cartoon.

No. Unless you like watching a group of girls doing daily meaningless things. Its boring as fuck. Its not bad but its really boring, might as well just watch ants on the floor do their thing, altough that is probably more interesting. So yeah if you are a stalker you might like it, if you dont care about other peoples daily lifes youll get bored.

I'm not arguing that K-on is entertaining.

I argued that it was the anime that spawned off tons of clones of itself. That is a huge part of anime history and a true anime fan would watch it for the sake of watching it.

Only in dumb bizarro world do we all only get 15 anime series to watch in our entire life.

You don't have to make decisions on what anime you will watch as though picking the wrong one might kill you.

Just watch them all, you got your whole fucking life to do this shit.

It should be obvious that I spiced it up a little to make it more interesting to read. The essence of my message is still there, if you are the kind of person that like hearing about peoples daily lives, youll probably like it. But if youre the kind of person that just thinks "When is this person going to shut up!", when someone tells you what they had to eat and what they did yesterday, then youll most likely hate it.

Because man, if you watch a boring anime the consequences are dire.

Your head might explode if you watch too much boring or harem anime.

It's much safer to only watch credible series that are unanimously loved, and then denounce ever watching anime for the rest of your life.
