Is K-On worth it?

I'm not the type to be swayed one way or another just because of cute girls. I know they're cute. I won't be watching just for an overdose of moe. No thanks.

And the music thing, well, as long as there are some performances/original songs, that's actually pretty fantastic.

I'm mostly asking if the character interactions and developments are interesting enough, without the appeal of cute girls doing cute things.

As an anime fan, I feel I'm obligated to watch K-On, but I won't force myself if I won't enjoy it.


There is very little music, I think there are 3 performances in the 12 episodes, with two of them playing the same song. There is no character development whatsoever.

Even amongst so called moe blob shows K-ON! isn't that good, it doesn't have that much comedy and it's got a incredibly plain setting with rather flat characters. Even recent moe-blob shows like Yuyushiki and Kirino Mosaic put it to shame.

I'd hardly call it mediocre. That's like saying Beezlebub was average.

First season was alright. Second season was shite. OVA's made me almost lose my liver.

Only have one anime rated as a 5, and that's episode 11.5 of Hyouka...so not really a series.

But if I had to choose one from a 6, it would probably be...Fate/stay night.

OreImo did suck. I couldn't understand why it had such a big fanbase. Kirino was a bitch, her brother was overly passive, and the comedy was like the jokes you'd see on 4chan.

I should have known K-On would be some people's answers considering my avatar. One thing that I can agree on is the lack of character development and the lacking of music, which WAS good though. All in all, I still enjoyed it. I'm well aware of the show's flaws but I still went through with it. Also, I'm just gonna admit that I had to push myself through the second season due to the overall plot straying away.

K-ON! didn't have a plot and thus character development wasn't really needed.

Regardless, I personally enjoyed it very much and it's one of my very deserved 10/10 anime.

Lol plot? K-on! 1st season had no plot at all, at least the 2nd season attempted some plot, with a more coming of age story.
Anyway most average anime I would say I have watched is Brave 10 average characters, average art, average animation, average ost, average plot, everything was just average I wouldn't say bad though.

Is anyone gonna bother giving reasons? this so far has been a listing thread like most threads, I guess.

One piece: I didn't watch more than half of it but so far it feels very mediocre in terms of story and characters, the art and the fights are awful. The characters are generic ( maybe not Chopper lol) and one dimensional, Luffy never changes it's been 160+ eps and I don't think he had in kind of character development or anything close to that the same goes for the other crew members. The story seems really tedious, the arcs are underwhelming from what I have seen so far the Arlong park is the only decent arc, but it ended in a predictable way and the fights were mediocre in it but the back story of Nami was great, too bad her personality outside of that arc is so annoying and obnoxious. The Albastia ( however you spell it) was really stupid, Crocodile was nice villain and all but aside from his plan nothing was impressive in that arc, most of the fights in it was so incredibly stupid especially the final fight between Luffy and him, Luffy just simply won, he didn't discover a new way to beat him or anything, he just won. I don't even know why, Crocodile moped the floor with him the first time they met so I don't know why he lost.

The comedy is so stale and fucking repetitive, there is like one funny episode of those 160+ that I actually thought was funny and it's the sole reason I bumped the score from 5 to 6. The current arc I'm in is so fucking boring, all the new characters in it are so uninteresting aside from god enel the same goes for the world they are in.

Black Lagoon: It was just a mediocre action flick, the characters ranged from average to bad.
http://myanimelist.net/profile/tsudman/reviews ( I don't know how link a specific review ._.)

Code: Breaker: It brought thought provoking but it executed it in a bland and unimpressive way, the dialogue ranged from stupid to cringe worthy, the character were so and so but that stupid bitch Sakura was so fucking annoying, she was just terrible and they didn't show her back story which would have helped a little, it ended in a very predictable way. It was all around average in terms of almost everything.

All the characters were just kids and it was scary for a horror anime at all. It was also very cheesy and seems like the kind of thing that'd be predictable.

That's my point.
Overall if you want mindless gun action, attractive looking females and a somewhat interesting grim world then Black lagoon may be the anime for you, most people will probably find personal enjoyment in this and you can't blame them, the show is buckets of fun if you don't get tired down from seeing the same formula. But if you are interested in multidimensional and amazingly developed and fleshed out characters, intriguing plot and originality, then Black lagoon might not be for you.
