So I'm planning to get into this series soon, but I don't understand the massive hate of this franchise. Why do people hate K-On series?

They don't, and if they do, they're not people, so they don't.

Not like it's super amazing, but if you actively hate it, you may need help.

Probably - it's nothing new in MAL society.

Everyone hates it because it's moe girls that play instruments having tea.

I mean I haven't seen it, and most people that I know who watched said it wasn't actually a bad show, people are just racist to every single genre in the anime industry.

And anime in general.
every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake

I started watching it some days ago, and it's okay in my opinion. Not really my kind of anime, but it's certainly not bad enough to hate on.

It is good at what it does but a lot of people don't like what it does.
And because it is popular many still watch it.
And disliking something isn't edgy enough so they 'hate' it.

I suspect a vocal minority. Minorities exist for most opinions, so no reason to be alarmed.

The show is mediocre shit that made it big because of who adapted it rather than it's own merits, with a bland ensemble of a cast whose archetypes have been done better by literally dozens of predecessors. By the turn of the decade it will probably be forgotten like Lucky Star because nobody gives a damn about the manga.

The hate is not that vocal nowadays but back then people were talking about K-On everyday here on MAL so I wouldn't call it minority hate.

That's not people hating K-On in particular but people hating moe. And K-On is a very popular moe series that also increased the moe trend to some extend.

it is unpopular amongst girls because they are jealous that they will never be that cute, and because it makes them aware that females are becoming increasingly obsolete.

It's the anime that had the biggest role in the moefication the anime industry has gone through in recent years, so the people who don't like moe oftentimes use it as a scapegoat

In Japan, its usually the opposite and its actually more popular around them since they can relate to experiences past and present. At least I have been told so.

Actually for K-On the male/female viewer ratio is quite even. Especially when you compare it to most other anime.

Yeah basically it's the quintessential moe slice of life nothing happens show, personally I find it endearing but I would understand why someone would dislike it, but hate it? seems extreme specially if it's derived from the fact that it's moe we don't need more blind hatred than the already prominent of today's society

Honestly, I can almost say the same thing but K-On is quite a game-changer, along with Clannad and Lucky Star for formally introducing to us for the concept of cute girls doing stuff... I cannot use the term 'moe' though because of Wikipedia's definition for it.

It's a fairly average moe anime. Non Non Biyori gets much less hate because it's a better anime. Hibike Euponium is fairly similar but it's also done better than K-On!.

If what you say is true, then it suggests that at present, a quiet minority hates K-ON, and formerly, a vocal minority hated K-ON. Past or present, it is clearly "minority hate." Although, this is assuming that the OP is talking about the MAL forums rather than some other discussion area or even in general. It could very well be a vocal minority still for the environment the OP finds their self in. So yeah, considering the OP probably wouldn't be making this thread unless he or she was around such people, I still actually think "vocal minority" is the best phrase to use.

Those came out when moe was already a central part of the industry. Of course they won't get the same amount of hate

I heard they hate K-on because fans of K-on say is one of the best shows in the last 10 years and people that dislike moe often get mad because of that

other reasons is because they think that a show about cute girls doing cute things isn't that good so they shit on it

there was a reviewer that said that K-ON is shite because it didn't have risk or no life's were in danger

to be honest I watched the first 5 episodes and even though its not my kind of show I can understand the appeal and why people like it , it has lovable characters and its relaxing

Normally I hate when people say this but it's usually because they don't get it.

And don't worry. I get why you don't get it.

Some people need crisis, robots, explosions, hot sweaty chicks leaving basically nothing up to the imagination, bad ass fights(with swords).

Some don't.
