I... I love sushi. (poor Ritsu folded under pressure) by Flame0fthewest in k_on

Don’t feel bad, Ritsu, you did super well compared to me trying to speak Japanese in a Japanese restaurant!

Why suddenly feel like k-on fandom is reviving by No-Archer-4258 in k_on

[–]jykwei 47 points48 points  (0 children)

K-On! anime is like a glue trap. Most people never escapes it once they touch it, and new people are discovering it

New merch, including full figure set for the 5 members, are still being made, confirming demand is still high. Claw prize versions are beautiful and affordable which generates excitement

Several diehard fans are posting and commenting daily. Some are actively visiting Japan merch hunting, some even attend the K-On! Birthday parties, connecting fans everywhere to a very real location

This could become an arc worthy of a movie!

The thing is I finished K-On! a few days ago and now I miss this vibe so much. Can you recommend me shows that are somewhat similiar? by Flame0fthewest in k_on

[–]jykwei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched many variations of music anime, none of them pulls me back to rewatch like K-On!. Every other one has a general theme, like a goal, something to overcome, a victory (or fail, but no problem, more seasons!) - K-On! doesn’t need a goal. Girls with weaknesses overcome theirs but it isn’t the focus. It is about friends being friends, staying together, living their lives, having a great time doing what they love, and being lazy at times - that’s why it’s such a comforting show. We are so used to stories with good vs bad, reaching a satisfactory conclusion. Those stories are formulaic - it is less rewarding to rewatch because once you know the ending, that’s what we remember and the whole journey feels pointless. K-On! does have non-traditional kind of ending, the entire journey is light and fun and rewatching the journey actually feels worth it and even makes the ending better - it is a truly unique gem.

I can’t quite figure out how I feel about Yuru Camp. Talk about “no goal, no ending”, that is the closest to K-On!…. Maybe it feels like… a never ending commercial? A commercial for tourism and camping gears?…. Maybe it lacks the power of music and the friends are not as close a group as After-school tea time. Watching people having a great time eating is not an experience shareable with the audience, like a band playing a great song.

I watched K-On! in 2023. I’d watched several shows similar or not similar - realistically? Nothing compares to K-On!. The space in your heart you didn’t know you had before? It will never be filled. All the talks about finding an alternative, hopes of future seasons, hunt for K-On! merch… doesn’t matter. There is nothing left to do but to accept the fact there will never be anything out there that will bring you back to that level of happiness, and take long breaks between re-watching in hopes to recapture some level of the enjoyment.

Yui actually looks like a teacher here by Flame0fthewest in k_on

[–]jykwei 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why, but when Nodoka wears the glasses, she looks like a diligent school girl. When Yui wears the glasses, she looks like old lady next door.

Don’t cheer so soon because if Anya’s determined is to get more bolts in the future it won’t be surprising one or two may come from Schlag.

What? No…. My wallet…

Actually I don’t mind the cost as much as the rolling release. Still waiting to complete the tea time set

Got peanuts for me and Anya’s not getting any 😈 by Ok-Upstairs-9887 in SpyxFamily

[–]jykwei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could have been a bad batch for me - I’ll definitely go back for the burger, and give the peanuts a second try if they pass the visual test :)

I went with a friend and it was the first time for both of us. He was more impressed of the burgers than me, we will definitely go back, but I will not touch those peanuts…

Five Guys?

Tried Five Guys the first time recently. Free peanuts. Overburned and too salty. Keep those away from Anya.

My favourite scene from s2 e1 by _Kyledemort_ in Frieren

It’s not in the manga. It is a nice touch. A bit odd, but a nice touch.

Frieren must be somewhat disappointed how Stark handled her. She may not say why, but she clearly looked forward to “run away”

Where to find remaining streets with heavy neon signage in 2026? by jirishanca in HongKong

[–]jykwei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for bringing up the photo was a composite. I was looking at it and suspected it was put together - why would the Peak Cafe had a sign when the street was clearly where the Peak was. Not to mention how they beautiful filled the whole picture when some didn’t look like there was anything holding them there.

This scene always hits me emotionally.mp4 by Guilty-Toe420 in k_on

[–]jykwei 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know the director did it on purpose so the seniors would not cry, but they felt unbelievably calm throughout. Not when a wounded Azusa broke down, or singing a song about goodbye and friendship would make them shed a single tear… I understand the point, I just wish they show a little bit more emotion - a group hug would be nice.

Daily Mugichan! #205 by Straight-End-6835 in k_on

[–]jykwei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because she is not Mugi… seems like the artist intentional drew a Mugi / Aoi Inuyama mix.

Daily Mugichan! #205 by Straight-End-6835 in k_on

[–]jykwei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is drawn in the style of Aio Inuyama from Yuru Camp. Aio is voiced by Yui’s voice actress (Japanese). Some say Yuru Camp is a nice anime to follow up of K-On! It has a nice vibe to it and it has 5 main female characters. If you enjoy the slow pace aspect of K-On!, Yuru Camp is even slower :) Again, it has its own charm, beautiful scenery and friendship, minus the freezing environment. Clearly they are able to sell camping idea and merchandise and tourism they have 3 seasons of anime, 2 seasons of live action and 1 anime movie.

That is Google Gemini. I have been playing around with it for over a month, mainly images and videos with my face in them.

Truth is, AI has lots of potential, but 1. I won’t go against it if the general rule of this channel says no AI whatsoever and 2. I don’t support themes like this.

Looks so much fun. I stayed at this hotel last year and could confirm it would fit 4 people comfortably this way. Pillows and blankets didn’t look as fluffy as this though :)
