We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

So after Spice wolf I tried 1 episode of K-On. So ugh...what good about this anime too lol. I dont understand it....all I get from the first episode is that this series is going to be crammed with tons and tons of cuteness and moe. Does the story ever get interesting?

I am consider dropping it after finding out that season 2 had like 30+ episode. I dont wana blow my time like I did was shana lol. So does the series ever get interesting or should I just be in it for the cuteness?


Its funny how some people find K-ON enoyable and others dont. Its supposedly supposed to target the young female audience with their cuteness. But I converted season 1 for my sister to watch on her iPad and shes not interested at all in the series. She enjoys other moe-crap like Ika Musume and Working.

I thought the series was okay, nothing "omg cute!" or any of the sort. Im still trying to finish season 2, im like 20/26 atm, but I cant bring myself to finish it.


lol k-on is not designed for girls to watch

I don't know where you get the idea that K-ON's target audience are young females. Just because something is cute doesn't mean it's for females only. K-ON is classified as seinen, meaning for young males and even for older males, and is published in a seinen magazine too. The fact that there's almost no male characters in K-ON further emphasizes that it's for males. However, that's not to say some females don't like K-ON. When I went to watched the K-ON movie in Japan, I was expecting 100% males, but there were a significant amount females in the theatre too.

Also, there's a difference between moe and slice-of-life. Just because Ika Musume and Working are slice-of-life, doesn't mean they're "moe-crap".


Yeah, I'm definitely sure that K-On! is targeted toward males and is seinen. All of the people I know that have watched it and liked it are guys. I'm pretty sure that some girls think it's creepy that guys watch this show to see 2D girls giggle, scream moe moe kyun!, and look cute. I like K-On! though, it's more of a watch-when-you're-bored rather than watch for a plot.


I'm definitely not one of those girls. I loved K-On! There was something so lovely about the series. Especially some of the quieter moments. It had a nice balance of fanservice moments, comedy and sentimental bits which really cheered me up whenever I watched it. Plus the character designs were cute imo due to their relative simplicity. Heck, I even own almost all of the nendoroids, and have K-On! posters on my walls. (I felt the same way about Oreimo too. Those two titles got me back into anime again last year due to their aesthetics, and the ease of watching them aka. they're both kind of relaxing.)

By contrast I'm also a big fan of titles like Gantz, Elfen Lied, Tenipuri, Ao no Exorcist, Tiger & Bunny etc. I also prefer horror manga such as the work of Junji Ito. Variety is definitely the appeal of anime/manga for me personally.

But looks like I cant watch it just yet cause Im 3 seasons behind!

That's exactly why I liked K-On!. It was during some stressful times and I really needed something to cheer me up. K-On! was so bubbly and happy that I couldn't help but like it.

Haha, lol. I'm a guy and the only reasons I disliked Gantz and Elfen Lied is because of the combination of excess gore and excess nudity. Maybe because I'm a "newb" to anime since I only began watching around the time Madoka came out. My comments about girls not liking K-On! is based on my experiences in the US, so anime viewing isn't really "cool". I don't know how it is in other places though. I do agree that K-On! always cheered me up and never failed to deliver when I was sad. When depressed, I always watched K-On! and whenever unmotivated I listened to "Don't Say 'Lazy'". Lol, I can't believe that both of us are the only ones that spelled K-On! with the exclamation mark. XD

Because people were asking for vague recommendations, even with the chart posted on top. So other people trolled by recommending School Days.

In all honesty I think School Days is a must-watch. It's anime culture. And a pretty good series. You can taste the despair at the end and it did a good job of conveying that.

yeah that's the thing, honestly i felt school days was a decent show that kinda went a bit batshit insane but overall was still entertaining to watch. it's a show that's gonna be embed into anime history forever anyway.

didn't expect the show to turn out that way though lol, didn't hear about the eroge. and the first episode made me go "ooooooooooh" then as the show progressed, i was like, "wtf this wasn't how i imagined this anime to be"

Oh for sure most of the times I've done it I was trolling.

But then again, that used to be something that was just done in TLADT. Everyone just said "real admission into this thread is watching School Days".

So I was like. Yeah! Let's watch it!

And then dat ending. >.>

So after Spice wolf I tried 1 episode of K-On. So ugh...what good about this anime too lol. I dont understand it....all I get from the first episode is that this series is going to be crammed with tons and tons of cuteness and moe. Does the story ever get interesting?

I am consider dropping it after finding out that season 2 had like 30+ episode. I dont wana blow my time like I did was shana lol. So does the series ever get interesting or should I just be in it for the cuteness?


Its funny how some people find K-ON enoyable and others dont. Its supposedly supposed to target the young female audience with their cuteness. But I converted season 1 for my sister to watch on her iPad and shes not interested at all in the series. She enjoys other moe-crap like Ika Musume and Working.

I thought the series was okay, nothing "omg cute!" or any of the sort. Im still trying to finish season 2, im like 20/26 atm, but I cant bring myself to finish it.

I don't know where you get the idea that K-ON's target audience are young females. Just because something is cute doesn't mean it's for females only. K-ON is classified as seinen, meaning for young males and even for older males, and is published in a seinen magazine too. The fact that there's almost no male characters in K-ON further emphasizes that it's for males. However, that's not to say some females don't like K-ON. When I went to watched the K-ON movie in Japan, I was expecting 100% males, but there were a significant amount females in the theatre too.

Also, there's a difference between moe and slice-of-life. Just because Ika Musume and Working are slice-of-life, doesn't mean they're "moe-crap".


Yeah, I'm definitely sure that K-On! is targeted toward males and is seinen. All of the people I know that have watched it and liked it are guys. I'm pretty sure that some girls think it's creepy that guys watch this show to see 2D girls giggle, scream moe moe kyun!, and look cute. I like K-On! though, it's more of a watch-when-you're-bored rather than watch for a plot.


I'm definitely not one of those girls. I loved K-On! There was something so lovely about the series. Especially some of the quieter moments. It had a nice balance of fanservice moments, comedy and sentimental bits which really cheered me up whenever I watched it. Plus the character designs were cute imo due to their relative simplicity. Heck, I even own almost all of the nendoroids, and have K-On! posters on my walls. (I felt the same way about Oreimo too. Those two titles got me back into anime again last year due to their aesthetics, and the ease of watching them aka. they're both kind of relaxing.)

By contrast I'm also a big fan of titles like Gantz, Elfen Lied, Tenipuri, Ao no Exorcist, Tiger & Bunny etc. I also prefer horror manga such as the work of Junji Ito. Variety is definitely the appeal of anime/manga for me personally.


Haha, lol. I'm a guy and the only reasons I disliked Gantz and Elfen Lied is because of the combination of excess gore and excess nudity. Maybe because I'm a "newb" to anime since I only began watching around the time Madoka came out. My comments about girls not liking K-On! is based on my experiences in the US, so anime viewing isn't really "cool". I don't know how it is in other places though. I do agree that K-On! always cheered me up and never failed to deliver when I was sad. When depressed, I always watched K-On! and whenever unmotivated I listened to "Don't Say 'Lazy'". Lol, I can't believe that both of us are the only ones that spelled K-On! with the exclamation mark. XD

Storm's a brewin... Though honestly I wouldn't mind Sensei/Keita as true pairing, they're cute together.

Oh no! No one suspected the double cross! Except everyone :\ While predictable, I just hope this builds up to something a bit more epic.


Liar Game
+ Show Spoiler +
Yeah, considering that this is still the mock game though, and that everyone's already conspiring might lead to a epic match.


Well gantz and elfen lied arent that bad. It only bad at the start haha afterward it doesnt get any where near as bad....atleast that is for the nudity. I understand what you mean since hte first 5 min of elfen lied is pretty sickening gory and the main character in Gantz a mega pervert but.....I think many can agree with me that the nudity get mellowed down more as the story progressed but I cant promise the violence lolz

I personally love it because it shows me right at the start how gruesome an anime can get or how far they are willing to go. The more gruesome an anime is the harder it is the predict the ending and how the story will flow since they arent trying to limit themselves to anything. I think that the best thing about gruesome anime since you never know what going to happen :D

EDIT: I also decided to put K-on on hold as an emergency anti emo removal. Since some of you are saying that it can help cheer ya up. I can definitely see that happening. Therefore I am off to start Ouran high or Seitokai Yakuindomo!
I may not be the best, but i will be some day...
