Though here's something to chew on. Maybe if I can be given some reason to care that all of these antics are being engaged in by the K-On girls specifically........like as in an upcoming episode that grants them some distinguishable personality beyond their moe traits, then by the time we get back to the moe antics I'll have reason to care and lose myself in it more. |

2nd question: no it isn't (not for a beginner at least) it takes a lot of training your ear and yui doesn't know too much about guitar (for god sakes she forgot how to play basic chords) XD.... now there are people who have perfect pitch (they see sounds and can play any note, chord, w/e ) you are born with it there are some cases where your ear can kinda see the notes from practicing (a lot) but its not quite perfect pitch they have tapes that claim you can gain perfect pitch but they really aren't proven hope that helps

Why so serious guys? How about taking it easy? You sounds like you are either searching for the new gospel in anime or trying to prove that people watching it are clearly not refined in their tastes enough. Chill guys, seriously.

Well, when it's about "musical animes" i always compare with "sport anime", let's say that Yui is like Hanamichi Sakuragi from Slam Dunk, neither of them has a formal training and at the start they showed his "natural talent". Remember what it's said about Yui, she can learn and do it great (take for instance exam's retake). With music i assume that it will be the same. She forgot chords but she can have a perfect pitch as she showed.
Now, as you can see Mio could saw what chords was Yui doing at the Pool, so, you can say that Yui will not be behind the rest of the band in talent... And... this has so much "school of rock" Vibe... i can see Jack Blacl in lead guitar (Kyo Ani where did you left Minoru Shiraishi!!!... ) PS: This anime is made by Kyo Ani... so, "Cute Girls doing Cute Things" is what will you get all the way.

Dont get me wrong I really do enjoy this anime, its fun but my problem is that its been heavily focused on making it into a hit show not a good story, episode 4 was just them throwing in every trick in the moe book in the hope that it would win over fans.
Fan service is nice sparingly, I feel they went over the top. I throughly enjoyed Mio and Mugi's scene together and I wish the anime had more of that. |

Have you looked beyond the moe and seen something else? Personally, I have seen the group tightening their bonds as friends, Yui showing she have a budding scene presence, then showing potential as a guitarist. This is just the things that I can remember right on. I am sure some people have seen a little more.

So they have until a little after summer until the festival and their first live concert? That isn't a lot of time, and the way this anime it going though months (fourth episode and it has been three months already) I imagine it won't be long until we have a festival/concert episode. I'd guess episode 8 at the latest...6 at the earliest.

In short I haven't seen any such thing presented in a way that gives it feeling or like it's come from progress and their experiences with one another. All of what you mentioned while somewhat possible to derive from the shows narrative, just sort of is or becomes as required by said narrative (especially Yui's guitar skills)......wait ....Eureka, that is kind of what defines K-On. Quote:
TIME MATTERS NOT IN K-ON!!!! IF THEY MUST BE READY, THEN THEY SHALL BE READY.....unless they are going for a total flop premise, which would almost certainly be prefererable at the moment if it comes early enough. Why? We'll cross that bridge if we come to it. |

Except for like 4-5 minutes of this episode, I could have cut it off the series and have felt like I missed nothing. It wasn't as complete utter trash as last episode (Gave it a 6/10), but it was just so average...!!!
Sigh, I'm only watching this series now for, at this point, to be presented with 1 concert. Fantastic . @Kaoshin - I'm glad that I am not alone on this issue. You voiced my sentiments exactly.

FFS, at least reading the original source beforehand would have helped to know what to expect. It's like people coming b*tching at me over Guin Saga because it sounds like Conan the Barbarian, sweat pulp fantasy tropes from its skin and have the smell of old school sword and sorcery. Without even bothering to know what it was to begin with.

Well... I don't intentionally pick up series that I dislike. I just tend to have a love/hate relationship with Kyo/Ani, which would be more hate if it were not for Haruhi.

Bourne movies? Gotta read the books first. Benjamin Button? Gotta read that Fitzgerald book. Check. The 10 anime shows I'm watching this season? Wow, this is getting time consuming. Honestly, this is a ludicrous argument. I take the entertainment medium as is. I could say the same for the novel. Oh wait, I need to watch the anime first to see if I like it? No, actually I don't. Sometimes they hit me good, sometimes they completely miss the mark.

The only KyoAni shows so far that I dropped have been Munto (lol), and FMP after seeing its first season.
