I would say they hate because it’s moe and may seem to not have a interesting value like this. Mostly from what I think it’s the same setting like the school and the club plots, which seems like a overused setting that can be enjoyable and boring depending on its story. Though I would say it would sometimes be the characters, the tropes, the clutches that lead to hating it. do like this show but it has pros and cons to be listed.
Possible Cons:
-the girls very few traits that kinda bother me, I do appreciate them as different people who have interests in musics and try to have the same goals as they have fun and try to overcome some obstacles. But sometimes they irritate me or annoy me. Sometimes it would be mio’s shyness when she objects like being in the center of attention in crowds/wearing ridiculous clothing/working in a public job, more to count but these do intend to be real situations that people do get in to.
Sometimes when Yui uses the dumb trait to make her cute, and ritsu’s actions and sometimes attitude, and mugi’s very few traits of a Mary Sue ( but she has a few flaws and I find her fine) and sometimes strange requests.
Even Sawako with her crazy cosplay hobby and sometimes over confidence.
But i can’t say they aren’t realistic, because they do have relatable traits that can happen in anyone’s life.
- because it’s moe. It’s not really I problem, kyoani has done successful moe and other anime in their years of animation and teaching viewers about happiness, emotion, etc. Though in a few scenes and episodes I feel like they overuse it, but not on everything. Though people would at least reconsider.
-the development and sometimes annoying lines. I feel like that’s what isometimes lacks in, and the characters do have small development but not a lot to go around, and what they say doesn’t make it a excuse, just What any moe excuse could be. But this doesn’t happen a lot.
Pros
- the characters are actually relatable as a high school student. They’re background isn’t always now, they do resemble realism in their anime kinda way, because they’re situations where studying feels frustrating, sometimes in situations you don’t know how to get out of, having fun with friends, having people around you who have cared for you, and encourage each other sometimes even though at moments they kid around and get mad at eachother. Which depicts on teenagers and I think it’s a good side of the show.
- the continuing goal to perform music. I do like how they develop their music as they go further in their high school years, and still continue to play what they love, since they’re a different kind of band, since it was unexpected ever since mio started song writing, it’s a enjoyable part of the show.
- there are perfect cute moments and is rewatchable. I watched k-on for about more than 10 times on my bluray DVDs because it’s very engaging when you wanna start watching the first season, because the show is more than cute moe girls who fool around and eat cake as they lack practice. It does show goals on the characters based on how they really wanna improve the band and what their choices as a club together, and deciding what they’re going to do as they go further to high school and discover what their future will be. And does make you feel happy time to time, watch the show yourself.
-last pro, it’s a show that centers more than just school and music. Like I said it has it situations in life in school and out. Sometimes it would be activities and events that don’t focus on the two the same time. There is episode 13 where the girls have to been caught in situations like falling in love, working at a job, watching a pet for someone, wanting to write a song and making a new recipe due to everyone being busy. Especially when missing your sibling and need people around and comfort you, even wanting to do something in summer. There are moments you will like it or not. But the show is good and it’s not made for everyone. But this could be a example that should be given to people who still don’t like the show or at least understand some of the good and bad things about it other than being moe wand not edgy. |
