I'd like to see you go through the first season, or at least get to Azusa. I wanna see what you come up with for her.

I will try. The first one was a lot of work, heh. But I'm glad people seem to like it.

I'm also interested what you do with Sawako, especially the episode she becomes their clubs adviser.

Okay, I think I'm going to watch K-on! I just see enough of it around the forums, and the animation looks appealing enough, that I feel I need to watch it. I justify it as a "getting to know your enemy" sort of thing, but who am I kidding, I'll probably like it!

Good work people, I guess you got me!

It is my favourite TV show of all time, really. It's not an easy opinion to defend, and I'm not into the fandom as much as some people here (not that I object to it), but I found that the first season in particular resonated with me on an emotional level I hadn't experienced in media - something that anime is very wont to do, and a reason I enjoy it immensely.

For all animes exaggerations and foibles, there's often a study and reflection on human interaction and behaviour that's very rarely seen in Western media, and a huge part of its appeal to me. K-On is the best example of this.

Even if I don't end up liking it, I like to be a little better informed about most of the popular franchises. I mean, I did the same with Haruhi, and it like you mentioned, you can be surprised with what manages to resonate.

If worst, at least I will be a hater with a better awareness of the source material!

There really isn't much to dislike in K-on unless you have an innate hatred for cute girls doing fun things, and the workmanship Kyoani put in can be appreciated by anyone.

That is pretty much the impression I got; I was just speaking more to the vocal detractors it seems to get, which is especially surprising on a place like GAF!

Despite my Yui-fandom, I love me some Haruhi. Biribiri beating out Mio is awesome. Biribiri is awesome! So not upset by result.

Anyways, I finally finished K-On!! Season Two. Episode 20-24 made my eyes water multiple times. This season also changed my outlook on certain characters now. While I still like Yui a lot, Mugi was a much more interesting character this time around and her antics made me smile quite a bit. Same with Azu-nyan, a character I didn't care for much in the first season but she really came into her own too. Ritsu solid as well. Mio is...still Mio. She bores me.

Sawako is badass though. She went hard on that one episode.

Overall, I'd say Season 2 is a solid season. I cannot say its a better season on a whole than the first one though.


My favorite HTT girls as of Season 2 are....

1. Yui
2. Mugi
3. Azu-nyan
3. Ritsu
4. Sawako
5. ....

The best parts I like about Mio are parts that aren't even IN the episode. All her ending animations are awesome and it is kind of bullshit she is front and center instead of Yui in the endings.

I thought I would of liked her more in the dub since she was voiced by Cristina Vee but she still isn't that interesting.

I hope you aren't basing your perception of Index/Railgun on AnimeGAF's opinions of the show. It has a really big fandom elsewhere.

She shoots lightning from her hands. She is a beast. Top Esper. Own stuff. Not a scardy cat like Mio.

The school play arc shows her getting better with her anxiety. And that's where I can relate to her. I get nervous in front of people.
