I can't believe you'd make a video on moe garbage... I thought you understood what a good show is. K-On is just underaged girls pandering to the lowest of otaku. It's shows like these that are the cancer in the anime community. Why couldn't you make a video on actual good shows like Evangelion? It's one thing to say that K-On has good animation, but to imply that there's any substance beyond that is asinine.

This new world of K-On! worship fills me with hope.

We clearly must create a council to study the masterpiece that is K-On.

Damn it, now I want to watch K-On for the 10th time.

And yet, sadly, people still write this anime off as "moe trash". Sure, I like K-On for its cute fluff just as much as I enjoy it for its character dynamics and brilliant animation directing, but it still disappoints me that people don't seem to be willing to give it any credit past your typical "cute girls doing cute things" argument. Great video.

I love how you frequently pause mid-sentence in order to put the focus on the video and let the show speak for itself, rather than just letting the visuals exist in the background all the time, I feel like it really helped get the point across and keep the video engaging. You've definitely convinced me to watch K-On again at some point and pay more attention to the animation and directing.

As someone who finished marathoning the series, I agree. Everything was emotionally subtle and relatable. Definitely a great time!

Now tell me K on isn’t one of the best slice of life of all time.

the transition at 3:21 was very nicely done

I'm convinced. I'm now watching k-on

Just got into anime like 2 months ago, and this one stood out the most. I recently finished this and it’s really touched me idk why. It literally distracted me from my surgery and made me forget about the pain right after. There is something about this show idk what, but its special.

This show is what made me fall in love with Kyoto Animation...and Tamako Market sealed it.

I... didn't know I can love K-On even more than I did. Apparently, I can xD Thank you.

i love k-on (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ

I am using my expensive mobile data for you.Yeah you're that good.

Just finished K-On yesterday actually, loved it

Thanks for drawing attention to the little things that make or break shows of this genre.

I watch this KZfaq video almost everytime i want to have my passion for animation to return. Usually had it downloaded in my phone but since it broke I was searching for this again and it took me nearly an hour since if you searched "k-on review" you wouldn't see this and I ended up searching "naoko Yamada review" and ended up finding this channel finally I've been watching this for around 4 years now and it greatly influenced my perception of media and my life so I'm just here to Say thanks 🎉🎉

Great video, I always am happy to see more videos about K-on! as it has become easily one of my top three anime. I actually have a rough script planned for a K-on! video myself, I just need to rewatch the show to get everything fresh in my head to finish it. Glad to see you going strong though.

2:45 ...and what a fantastic way to start a season.

You always have the coolest outro music.

Someone else here already pointed out how that Sansha Sanyou cut *did* actually tell us a decent bit about her character. I think that your issue with it actually stems more from the character of Futaba herself. She's fairly shallow relative to any of the K-On girls, really just a solid Genki Girl archetype who loves food, so there is less substance to her character that could be communicated. I think that cut basically tells us all there is to know.

Each of your videos have so much care put into them, unexpected for this medium. Thank you for so professionally and tactfully approaching your subject matter.

That song at the end is just perfect

Man the animation on K-On is amazing.

Let's see if there's any moe hater in denial in the comments...

K-on was a master piece. I am a boy and even i could relate myself to my school days and that made me miss my school even more.

Waiting for Season 3

How do you notice these strengths in anime? K-On!'s interactions are so subtle that unless someone pointed them out, I wouldn't think to look for them

Thanks for using two of my beats in this video my dude :D

easily in my top 3 of all time

I'm really impress by the quality of writing and narration of your videos.

Is this a late birthday present for Ritsu's birthday?

May I just say, your voice is so calming and I treasure your channel! 🗻 Thank you!

I had forgotten just how great the voice acting is for this show... Loved the video, made me want to watch K-On again.

to be fair, Kyo-Ani just did what Kyo-Ani does... made something seemingly inane and unimportant into something incredible.

Watching this show as a musician is so different, it really makes you appreciate it far more.

I love how alive and natural the animations and their expressions feel, especialy in the openings, all subtle movements and fluidity. The animation is just incredible

Just finished this anime again after watching it for the first time, that transition from Yui's solo My Love Is A Stapler to their final act in their Senior almost teared me up, ngl. This anime is just so good, and your video, too. Less words but it delivers. Good job.

3:22 man that was a good transition

I really like your videos, I will use your analysis in the future when I start doing animation :D

i want season 3 so bad

thanks for the video i just finished the anime and watched everything for it and i don't know if you talked about that before but i like how the background sounds is great when they are walking in the school yard you hear the Musical Instruments sounds (i don't know if I write it right) and when they at home you hear the thing in japan that's speak through speaker (sorry i dont know what is it but i know that's in japan) and More i just noticed this and i like it

This anime seems to have more attention to detail than any other production I've seen...

Thanks for the amazing quality videos

WoW i didnt realize so many things while watching the show, this opened my mind

Your pauses doesn't really work as well as Tony's.

Great video, my friend. Really appreciate all the work you incorporate in your videos. K-On was an anime that I watched, not expecting anything special. Happy to have been proven wrong about that! Keep it up!

Animation and acting go hand by hand, not just in anime, but in anything related to animation

I disagree on the Sansha Sanyou cut. I think that portrays a lot about her character. The constant smile, the boisterous movement, the amount of food she's carrying. I think it's a little better than you are giving it credit for.

You need more attention. Great video as always!

Might give this Anime a try.

Just finished watching the K-On movie... It's beautiful wth. Now I really kinda wanna watch the series

K-On will always leave a smile on your face.

Now I love you even more (Not sure if possible)

I get really emotional from watching this video. Thank you for the great video!

RCAnime, how do you get such high-quality, subtitle-free, watermark-less footage of all these shows?

Thanks for hard work

yaaas i was planning on re-watching k-on! thanks dude!

Hi RCAnime, Great Video.

It's crazy to me how K-On was what really made me an anime fan. Now after watching so many SoL anime, and anime in general, I still hold it in high regard for its animation, character development and chemistry, and the subtle visual storytelling. It's really hard to find another anime like this that isn't made by KyoAni. I think what a lot of other anime does wrong is having this group of character labeled as friends, but the chemistry and bonds aren't there or poorly communicated. And I agree with many other K-On fans, it's much more than just a moe show and it's unfortunate that even with the amount of love poured into the characters, people still can't at least respect the how real these characters are... Nothing wrong with moe shows either.

*insert comment about how K-On is actually trash implying that my taste is somehow better than yours*

thanks

What strikes me about K-on is how realistic the setting and characters appear to be. I think it is a testament to KyoAni how much effort they put into the series considering how they make their world feel lived in and realistic.

I would just like to say that you have amazing quality in your videos and deserve alot more subscribers. Keep up the quality and Im sure you'll rise to the top! :)

awesome video essay. fucken love K-on.

amazing content as always, just love re-watching your videos 😍

More proof K-On! is THE best anime of all time

Your videos are insanely good. please them coming.

holly shit that K-on rap tho!

FIRST and this will be a great video I know it

K-on is top 5 favorite shows

gotta rewatch k-on now... hope you're happy!

it's videos like this that make me really wish I could enjoy k-on instead of just appreciating it from afar

This same aspect is what really hooked me with TMoHS too, must be a KyoAni thing... I love both shows so much, and a ton of other KyoAni stuff too.

I am surprised how much I like this one.

Call it "moe trash" still imma carry this show in my heart til I die

Very good video, i just cant tell how much i love k-on

So glad a spontaneous K-On Crack vid binge brought me here. Great vid! I'm so tired of Moe-bashers. Not all good anime has to be about blood, gore, sex. I love me some of those...but I also love me lotsa after school tea-time! Now excuse me as I go binge this masterpiece for the umpteenth time! Ps. Great outro track! Can I find it anywhere?

I really, really like the edeting of this video, but i felt that the pauses were dragged out just a little bit too much. Felt like it would have been a lot better with smaller pauses between the words, but longer pauses between the sentences. But still, love it a lot! ;D

Wait, are you an animator? How come you know notice these things?

I love k-on so much and its weird seeing people hate a cute show

2:44 Me: *ugly crying noises*

Thanks for remembering me K-on, I cried >

I love this goddamn show so much.

Love your videos!! They are so poetic AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

I’m ready for K-On! season 3

I'm so glad to see a video! Keep it up

Your channel i truly amazing! It really helps me to know more about anime, so thank you very much for your trouble :)

Thank you for introducing me to Mittens. There stuff reminds me a lot of tomppabeats

Okay, so in order to avoid what happened with under the scopes review of this show I suggest someone go download and save this video so it can be preserved on the internet! Hopefully pony canyon doth not come after your ass.

Damn now I want to rewatch k on

I got to say, you sir inspire me in an artistic level, I'm being serious too. All the things you say and bring points to really help me mold my thoughts on storytelling, music, drawing and really art in general. Like how you understand and appreciate the art in something most people pass off as nothing more that moe fanservice fluff. Love it, keep it going strong man!

Yep :)

Tea time ⏲️

That was a really good video! keep it up!

My wife mio and my family and my kids two ❤️.

Damn, watching this makes me want to watch K-On! more out of wanting to see all that subtlety.

I really love this analysis, this and under the scope's. not overly weeby like digibro's, artful picks for visuals and audio, and peaceful narration. Also k-on so it's 100x better. hope my bump on *shudder* tumblr got you some views.

I am Legit shouting "NOSTALGIA"
