Sometimes. They're both pretty lazy and have cute girls doing cute things - but Aria has a lot more emotional depth and in turn was a lot more enjoyable IMO. There are still episodes in Aria that can be quite sugary. I couldn't get through more than a couple episodes of K-ON though, so take that with a grain of salt I guess.

Its not unusual for there to be substantial gaps between seasons. Starting back up again in January is pretty quick imo. Split cours (1 season break) have become more frequent now since F/Z. If you are just going off "1 season break" between seasons, sure, but the earliest I can remember where they split season 1 and season 2 apart was Code Geass, followed immediately by Gundam 00 doing the same thing, and then it started getting a whole lot more common. @Goody: you should watch Sora no Woto or Aria since K-On is bad Yeah I remember 00 being planned for 2 seasons, and that there would be a break inbetween (1 year? iirc). (6 months, 1 year after the start of the 1st.) I wasn't around when Code Geass originally aired, but was it planned and announced to have 2 seasons beforehand ? I mean, the cliffhanger after 1st season kind of made it obvious there was going to be a second, but that wasn't announced til a few years later right?
Code Geass s1 ended, and either the very next season or the season after, Gundam 00 s1 started, and then right after Gundam 00 s1 ended, Code Geass R2 started, and finally Gundam 00s2 started immediately after R2 finished. So the reason there was a 6 month break inbetween seasons instead of 1, is because they were alternating 2 cour shows, not 1 cour.

Both anime I mentioned are both SOL and hugely superior to K-On. Neither of them are particularly "salty", what in the fuck... Maybe towards the end, but seriously, Aria is about a girl who goes around a city going "Sutekiiiii" the whole time, while making faces.

This K-On hate is making me sad. Aria is the King of SoL with cute girls doing cute things but hating on K-ON at the same time goes against everything that is the genre. Just love

This should help explain things. Makes sense with what I was thinking about but goes further and explains the whole picture in general: + Show Spoiler +rodac wrote:
I'll try a brief explanation for those who are having trouble following this series, but I suspect many people won't listen to it. Both Kakeru and Touko have the ability to hear or see fragments of the future (as they put it--although this episode also suggests it may be fragments of alternate realities in the present or near past). I'm not going to give a full explanation of the multiple universe theory, but just suffice it to say that if you believe you can see visions of the future, and that in acting on those visions you can change the future, then you probably also have to accept that there are an infinite number of alternate realities which spring from the decisions made by individuals or random events. The ability to see glimpses or longer sequences from these other/potential realities may help you to avoid unpleasantness in your life, but it also may mislead you into thinking something may happen that won't.
Touko has just had an extended vision of two overlapping alternate realities in which she was the late-comer to the group of six. In one of the alternates the two other couples were already forming (Sachi & Hiro, Yanagi & Yuki)--that's the one in which the two couples didn't meet up and watched the fireworks on their own. In the other alternate the four of them met up and watched the fireworks together. As to how she slipped into those realities, remember that she was focusing on the glass vase--a process known as scrying which is a traditional way of divining the future, astral travelling, or placing oneself in an altered reality. The other factor may well have been the music of Kakeru's mother--music also being a traditional way of placing oneself in an altered reality (hence all the talk of people being "transported by the music" when talking about a particularly enthralling performance).
At some point Touko and Kakeru have to come to terms with their abilities and learn to live with them, but that's not the important part here. The key is that through all the realities that we've seen, she and Kakeru find each other, regardless of what happens with the other couples. If you want a clearer statement of this: "They are bound by the red string of fate through all eternity and are destined to be together." The last still of them listening to the music shows clearly that Kakeru and Touko are holding hands under the table even while she goes into her visions. + Show Spoiler +
After a couple of episodes i actually thought that it was just mindreading/reading what's inside the heart of a person ever since the beach incident.
Well after reading this i never really considered the "multiple worlds theory" as a settings for the future. Now that i think about it it does make sense.
but meh i am still gonna consider that both of them have gone nuts for now :D
+ Show Spoiler [Glasslip] +ya, it makes a lot of sense. I think the only problem I have with the anime is the execution of the concept needed a lot of work. It's a good concept for sure though but as you can see in MAL comments, not many people seem to get what's going on and seem to think this was a filler/useless/wasteful episode etc... haha I guess you can look at it that way too but I prefer what rodic wrote

Please, spare me. Thinking one anime is well made doesn't mean you have to think that garbage isn't garbage. People who like some Iyashikei anime are also allowed to have taste.

I could only stomach like two episodes of aria. Jokes weren't solid & char interaction was pretty bland. If it's about seeing the scenery of the world.. eh. Beautiful world sure, but content? Any time that disgusting mascot creature is shown you're like "wtf this thing is hideous not cute how does it even belong & what's the point of it?"
K-on's funniest ep was its first ep and then it... was fairly boring imo.

I bought the final tankoubon of Aria in Japan and reading it makes me cry. ;;

K-On is about giggling over moe-blobs doing moe things.
Aria is about settling in and feeling mellow.
I guess like...one's an upper and one's a downer?

That was kind of tongue and cheek but now I don't get it. Aria is a better SoL show and is well made yes but K-ON is no way garbage.

Ep12 of glasslip was the most solid and deftly handled episode in all of glasslip. The problem is really the first 11 episodes leading to it.

K-On first episode was pretty meh. I started liking the show in episode 2 or 3 i think.

That does sound moe. I should give it a try but only later since if the rec came from you it should contain some serious stuff(anything that is remotely close to tension) Not in the mood for that ATM.
Seriously i liked K-On since it has no serious or dramatic element and it's all about cutsy stuff. Means i just watch the show for the humorous and cute/fluffy part of it. It's a show i just relax and think less while grinning like a fool.
EDIT:
Like WolfintheSheep said . I wanna watch K-On cause i wanna watch moe-blob doing moe things lol I even remembered complaining about K-On one time for them having an episode + Show Spoiler +where Mio and Ritsu fought

Kayo, guessed so much. I know you will hate me but for me she has some characteristics that I don't like as much even though she has some I absolutely adore. I love how she constantly gets sidetracked all the time. It's something I generally adore.
Whatever, I guess it will be a good balancing act as soon as I start Monster, which is planned when HxH is over for now.

Yes, the preceding episodes needed work but I think the whole show needed work to better bring across the point they wanted otherwise they could've just made it a movie instead incorporating parts from the other episodes with the last two episodes as its end.

Loved the last Nozaki-kun episode. Stuck to everyone and the ending was just right. Here's to hoping we get a second season at some point in the near future!

well, the concept behind the show is great but not the execution. Latest episode was probably the most solid but previous episodes seem a bit random at times. You can always read summaries for episodes 3-10 then watch 11 till the end. In my quote above, I have a good post that explains what the show was going for so you can always read that after doing the above and it should fill you in on everything.
