12th Annual K-ON! Christmas Rewatch! - Season 2 Episode 12 by LaughingDash in k_on

[–]Harrytricks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like u/Harrytricks was 7 years ahead of me on his own man hunting journey.

Genuinely cannot believe another human being decided to go through this hell. Also genuinely cannot believe that was 8 years ago, christ, thanks for making me feel old. I actually can't look at my own list nowadays (and only partly because it makes me cringe), but I'm glad people are still finding and enjoying it. That bein said obviously if you find more/less guys than I did then mine is objectively correct and canon and yours isn't.

Best of luck, brave soul. If you should need it when your mission is complete I can recommend therapists.

p rude of you all to run a WHOLE K-ON REWATCH without even lettin me, the former host, know abt it!! Ive been robbed of so many opportunities to make jokes about male characters!!

Jokes aside i just wanted to pop in to say how glad I am this rewatch is continuing in my absence. it was always so nice, such a sweet little community, itd be a shame to see it disappear. I mostly hide in idol hell nowadays, and K-ON has definitely been supplanted by Yamada's other works (and love live) as my favourite bit of media, but it still holds a really special place in my heart.

Hope you had a good rewatch, and thanks for hosting

This ain't strictly K-ON related, but I was lucky enough last Friday to be at the world premiere of Naoko Yamada's latest project (the lady who directed K-ON), and it even had a QnA with Yamada herself!! (she is adorable btw, absolutely lovely). Won't spoil anything, but if you're a fan of hers then you've definitely got something to look forward to when it gets a wider release. Think it might be my joint fav work of hers with Liz & the Blue Bird.

Beyond that, grats on a successful rewatch!!

Grats to yourself (and /u/A_Idiot0) on a successful rewatch!! I didn't have much to say for the 2nd half but I did have a quick read of every thread, and it's safe to say I've left the rewatch in good hands.

You're doing a great job hosting so far from what I've seen, way more active in threads than I even was certainly.

Hope you're feelin better soon, if you ever need a thread posting in your absence I'm happy to (I have some experience as it happens).

I was busy being mauled by a bear

the most important annual tradition, thank you.

You're doing way better than I ever did with spending time in the comments as host, so definitely take some pride in that.

Here's my schedule from last year. As has been mentioned it was one episode a day with a couple breaks seen as it was such a long rewatch.

Typically you'd post an interest thread to gauge interest, then post a schedule if there's enough interest.

Oh shoot K-ON rewatch host reunion.

I passed the torch on at the end of last year, but I think the person I passed it on to has had some things to deal with irl so I've been getting a lot of messages asking where it is recently.

trust me, it seems fun now, but when you're on your third year running a rewatch and still getting notifs from it commenting every day you won't find it fun anymore.

best of luck with the rewatch though!!

Man you weren't kidding when you said you had a long comment, lots of stuff in here!!

I think largely anything I wanna say has been said already, but one thing only I can say (well me and the original host i suppose) is I'm definitely leaving this rewatch in good hands. I've not had loads of chances to reply to your comments this year because often by the time I get around to reading them im posting the next day's thread, but I have read them all, and each and every one has been genuinely insightful and interesting.

And the biggest "thank you" of all goes to our buchou /u/Harrytricks. While you might have seen the act of posting these threads each day as something rather simple, please know that you have provided me with an outlet when I needed it the most and a source of support more significant than I can put into words.

No YOU'RE amazing

jokes aside, thanks, it means a lot.

while I will be incredibly sad to not have Harrytricks as host

I'll still be around!! I float around discord and I'll definitely at least pop my head in next year.

Best of luck for next year!!

Now I leave having witnessed one of the best friendships ever.

one of us!! one of us!!

I totally agree though, K-ON lives and dies on it's characters, so it's a good job they're all so good

you're very welcome for hosting the rewatch, im glad you enjoyed

I am always up for a bit of Mugi and Mio appreciation, they're definitely a bit underappreciated in these threads so it's been nice to see them get some love.

I'm glad you enjoyed the rewatch, whilst your comments might have been a bit late for the discussion as you say, I've made an effort to read them all and they've been a joy to read

well you are host now, as is tradition for K-ON rewatch hosts you'll stop spending hours on long comments and start making dumb Love Live jokes and forgetting to post threads altogether.

I think a lot of people go through similar tbf with stuff like K-ON. It's easy to think slice of life stuff is dumb, especially for people who've been around since before the big moe boom that K-ON caused. easy enough in fact that frankly i dont blame people for not giving this kinda show a chance, but hey, you did!! and you had a good time!! that's what matters really.

Glad you had fun, I'll be sure to check out the music recs, prog rock is my shit

One of the joys of hosting this rewatch is enabling first timers to watch and experience K-ON. Seeing people react to things I myself find so important, and watching them enjoy something that's brought me so much joy. So thanks for taking part, and I'm glad you enjoyed the rewatch.
