Hmmmmm, I wanna help you, but I need to know your entire baking process (you made the cake yourself for her right? Yui deserves that dedication)! Either it's something to do with that, or maybe Ritsu was trying to steal her cake... Or Azusa told her she couldn't have it. Many questions!

By the way, it's the 10 year anniversary for K-On! today! Thus also the 10 year anniversary of Yui being love and absolutely amazing! Incredible to think!

I know that the cake made by me cannot compare with those made by Ui but still it is very tasty cake!

>Or Azusa told her she couldn't have it.
If that is the case and Azusa is forcing Yui to play before she can eat the cake then I'd say tha Azunyan is right. You have to practice playing guitar before you deserve more sweets Yui-chan! (I also think that Yui is soooo cute when she begs Azusa for another cake and tea before training <3 But dont tell her, okay?)

>By the way, it's the 10 year anniversary for K-On! today! Thus also the 10 year anniversary of Yui being love and absolutely amazing! Incredible to think!

I think we solved it then! It must have been Azusa behind it all! But you're right, Azusa has a point which is good, even if just for us to see Yui begging her for more cake, cute as she is! And right you are! And also, 10 years have gone and Yui's legacy still shines so strong! Now that's impressive!

I wasn't in the group before, so I don't have the details, but I presume it's because they left an open invite link and bad people got in? That's why I'm usually sceptical to mass invites. But I looked today and it seems cool right now at least.

No, it's just that the host was a massive dick and it's a shame because I was one of the first five members, and I kind of took pride in that until it became the shitshow that it is.

Not to scare you away from it, I met some really cool people while I was there, but personally I'm just glad to have met them, kept in contact with them and left the server itself. It's fun for a while, but only because of novelty.

So I went on my highschool finalist trip to NYC and I found this little gem on an anime store shelf and I couldn't resist.

It's my first Yui figure, and I actually like it quite a bit (a lot of figures I see get the face wrong, but this one's got a good job done).

I hope this reminds me to draw more Yuis soon, I've been busy trying out other projects lately, so I hope she won't scold me for it.

Personally, I'd go as far as to say K-On as a whole didn't do Yui enough justice.

That was a cute scene! But I agree, it's wonderful how we can follow Yui through high school and see how she grows, but it leaves a desire to fill in all those blanks of before and after. I love fanart for that, which isn't only cute but also shows new and exciting sides of Yui. All in all, it makes Yui so much more intersting and fun to follow!

Not what I meant.

The problem I have with K-On is that (as with all moe shows) it was unrealistically optimistic towards every situation.
In my opinion, I'd have loved to see an alternate scenario where Yui is simply unable to buy Giita and would have to settle for a cheaper guitar, which would give her motivation to really work for Giita - but since she'd already grown with her new guitar, she wouldn't even want to trade for it anymore.
Alas, it was a good show for what it had to work with, especially since the source material is garbage. Just thought they missed a few opportunities, not just for Yui, but for all the characters.

Hello! Yui and Yuifriends are always glad to see other keion fans here!

>>2891170
I get your meaning now, I'm not sure if I'd prefer 100%optimistic moe version of k-on or more realistic one.
But when I was reading your response I reminded myself why I like this anime so much, its showing us that both working hard on yourself and having fun with friends are really important things.
Even though it looks like just "cute girls do cute things" type of anime we may find a lot of possitive and important messages in it...
Great, now I have to re-watch k-on.

Reminder that "Here is Japan and we dont need English!"

This show is just Moe blobs but I can't stop watching it

Of course, I still think K-On is more than just a CGDCT show, and like I said, I applaud the team behind it for what they managed to pull off. I was just mentioning a few things that I thought could've been handled better, even if the ultimate message is "working hard" and "having fun with friends".

Yup, anime was better than manga imao. I have never been thinking about what could be done better in k-on, this time I'm going to think of it while re-watching.

While it's true adding more challenges would add more excitement and drama, in a way I'm happy they kept it simple and happy. It's just what I was looking for, and seeing Yui and the girls happy and successful is incredibly heartwarming, and manages to be quite powerful without complicating things.

Daily reminder that Yui is love.

Her smile is so beautiful

It's heartwarming when it's well deserved.
Because of the way the show is structured, it either left me satisfied or empty at the end of every episode. I suppose it's something to expect from an episodical series, but I can't help but scratch my head over it anyway.

To each their own, I suppose. If all you want to see is cute girls being happy that's totally fine - I'd even argue that I'm too stubborn and I just can't get into the essence of the show.

I've never loved anyone as much as I love Yui, but I don't think her show will ever get to my top 10.

Yeah I can understand what you're getting at. I think a big part is what you look for and expect from a show too. It took me a few episodes to really get into the vibe of the show, and I think by them I was spell-bound anyway. As an aside, I think the easy going nature of the show also helped form a comfortable atmosphere where it's like you can enjoy their company, if that makes sense. I liked that a lot.
But regardless, I'm happy for the love you feel for Yui! She's a great girl!

By the way, New Yuiazu! https://twitter.com/hirondo2/status/859602933440106497

Yesterday I just literaly saw Yui-chan on the street, there was a girl around 16 years old with short blue skirt (exactly the same as they were wearing in k-on), black tights and jacket which was very similar to jackets from k-on except that this one was green and had a hood, she was also carrying black guitar case on her back. Unfortunetely I could not see her hair cause of hood.

I think it might be a test to remind me and all of us that 3D girls are no match for Yui.
And after all that was nice experience which made me smiling for the rest of the day.

Honestly though, that description made it sound like it could be literally any anime highschool girl that wears a blue skirt and pantyhose, which is not that uncommon, but hey, keep that mind fertile.

That doesn't look like Yui, but there's a Yui figure in the background.

I found it under the hirasawa_yui tag with no other girls tagged, so I'm pretty sure it is. It just looks like an older Yui IMO, notice how the hair still has the same structure.

On the pixiv page it's listed as original, and there's no Yui or K-On! tag. I think the character is an OC, and that's why the only tag wherever you found it was Yui (I.e. the figure in the background). And aside from her bangs somewhat resembling Yui's, nothing else about the character reminds me of Yui, eg no hair clips, different clothing, lighter eyes etc.

Hope you do!

I'm still convinced it's Yui. First of all, "no hair clips" and "different clothing" are both bad examples since Yui has had both of those conditions several times throughout the show. Her bangs don't "somewhat resemble Yui's" either, they are almost exactly the same.
Notice how the hair is parted and rolls around her cheeks just like Yui's, as well as the bits of messy hair sticking out.

As for the eye color, I'm 99% sure that's also just the artist's decision. Take a look at the Yui figure in the back, which has the same eye shape and color.

I mention the clothing and hair clips because usually when artists try to make alternative versions of Yui they at least retain some iconic characteristics of her so she's recognizable. Even with the bangs, it doesn't look like her at all for me, especially with the long hair, as I've seen many other girls with similar hair. You can interpret it as you wish, but no matter how much I look at it, I don't see Yui in her. Perhaps she is inspired by Yui, sure. And in addition to everything else, the fact its tagged as OC by the original artist, is a pretty strong argument for me.

I looked into it, and I'm convinced that the "original" tag you mention is simply referring to the fact that it is an original work by that artist.
I translated the chinese text in the title and the description, and I got "one year later" and "postcard on the back". Now, I have no clue what the latter is supposed to mean, but "one year later", given the rest of the setting, is a pretty good indicator towards it being Yui.

What is your definition of original work if you dont mean OC? I've never seen a Yui with the "original" tag, but I have seen OCs with the original tag. And I did translate the tag and description too when I first saw it, and concluded it probably meant something else. If you click to see other works with the same tag, many of them seem quite young. Maybe the tag has something to do with the artist's own progression or something. Also, if it's Yui it's strange there's no Yui or kon tag.

Every work on pixiv is original by your definition, since it's not a reposting site. But other works of Yui aren't tagged as original. It seems obvious it refers to OC on pixiv.
And as I said, I think it's tagged that way on danbooru because of the fig in the background. I admit my interpretation of the tag is a stretch, but if you look on the other works with that tag, I don't see a trend of characters being drawn as older, so it doesn't add up with your interpretation.

Danbooru appears to be rather inconsistent with "original" tags, as they appear both in and out of OCs, which led me to believe that they may be referring to original works of art (not official art, etc.).
Still, assuming "original" is OC, I'd say there's more than enough of a physical difference to list it as such. The hirasawa_yui and k-on tags could just be referring to the figure and guitar, but the text and setting just seem like too much of a coincidence to me.

>>2895520
I deleted that post because of inaccurate information, so I'm going to assume that "original" does mean OC, refer to updated post.

Fair enough! Either way, it's not too critical to know the "truth" behind the artists intentions, as it all comes down to ourselves how we wanna view it. Personally I can't see Yui in her, but if you can, all the power to you!

Of course, as always, I was just trying to show a different side of (possibly) Yui.

And that was certainly some way to end a thread as well, I trust we will see eachother again in 176.

>>2895538
Yes, definitely! It's always refreshing to see it from different angles!
And that sounds great, may as well get to it right away!
