How did K-On revolutionize anime, exactly?

k-on is over. it's time to move on

First anime to have every key staff role filled by a woman. Not that that's necessarily revolutionary or anything, but it's a key representative of that change in the industry.
Besides that it's really good man, I love it. Best slice of life since '99.

Anime before K-On was just a shallow cesspool of pantie shots and boob groping. KyoAni said enough is enough and made the first anime with deep themes and characters which is still unmatched to this day. When people think of names like Andrei Tarkovsky and Ingmar Bergman, they will also think of Naoko Yamada.

Make all girls best girls

>>150149225
They created Mio who is probably one of if not the best girl ever created in anime.

>>150149225
It didn't.

>>150149225
I dunno. What the hell are you talking about?

Usually I have not problem picking favorite girl but K-ons.. I'm still debating on which one I like most. Makes it 10/10

It revolutionized the artstyle to be used in moe anime. There is a very big difference in the artstyle between the '00s anime and the '10s anime, and K-on was the anime to start the artstyle that became popular in the new decade.

You mean ruined it for almost a decade. We're only now recovering from that shit.

Do not use Fuuka for shitposting please.

It introduced the idea that a anime can just have cute girls instead of actual characters, plot or story

I wouldn't call it a cesspool. There is a certain art to a good panty shot that is lost on a lot of modern anime.

>>150150294
I came here to say this

>>150149225
It didn't it only was liked by lot of people, where the fuck did you get the revolutionized bit?

>>150150262

LoGH did it better.

>>150149225

It didn't revolutionize anything. neither did Eva. Both were one hit wonders that no one else can imitate successfully.

it was good

I dropped it after 3 eps when it was airing

It gave a solid entry-level port into anime that allowed a previously untapped audience marketplace to be tapped into.

it transcended it's medium.

>>150154159

But what could you get from K-On that you couldn't get from a show like CardCaptor Sakura or Working?

>>150154278
Cardcaptor Sakura is boring
Working is boring

If you think K-On is similar to those two you clearly haven't watched K-On

Boring is not a good counter argument to make when trying to defend K-On.

>>150151779
I agree with you but shoe horning a more popular character in with your post just weakens it. It makes you look desperate.

"K-on is shit" can stand on its own.

A lot of anime has a great premise but poor execution. K-On has as close to no premise as you can get and it's excellent. It's got good character writing and pacing and art and that's it. That's all it has, and that's all it needs.

>>150149225
I still remember reading people in those times saying that the show will fail since music anime as genre was not popular anymore or too late to the party.

K-on didn't revolutionize anime, but it have changed anime, and for worst.

Now a days, an anime need to have a cast of 90% of young females to sell well. It doesn't need a plot, just cute girls doing cute things.

We have a ton of "Nothing - the anime" and they sell pretty well. Ok, back in the 80's we had a lot of Mecha anime, but at least they had a history to tell.

Cute girls at school, cute girls making a game, cute girls doing anime, cute girls making coffe, cute girls playing music, cute girls at war... gosh.
Sakamichi no apollon was a true show about music. It didn't have cute girls, it didn't have good salles. Now, look at any idol show, k-on or hibike euphonium and see the salles.

If you are an anime producer and you want to make money, what would you do? Another Sakamichi no apollon or another Hibike euphonium (HaruChika, anyone?)?

I want to see good shows again.
Anime was a mistake.

Of course not, but it was the most influent, like Dragon Ball is the most influent to battle shounens.

Even cute girls have a hierarchy. Just look at every single adaptation of any Kirara series, look how well most of those sell.

Cute girls are a trope, it's an eyecatch, but it's not enough to carry a show. Why are you so concerned about the fact that there are cute girls anyway? You think you can't write a compelling story if you put a cute girl in it? That sounds awfully shallow of you anon.

Funny you bring up Haruchika, considering it bombed.

>>150153600
Patrician taste.

>>150153600
Objectively true.

>>150167518
Ironically, the reason why the K-On anime shows were popular was because it was popular with normal schoolgirls.
Not female otaku.

Just your normal average real schoolgirls liking the setting, the characters, and the fact that the anime characters occasionally played instruments while hanging out in a club.
