    OMG K-ON ???
    YOU NEED TO REACT TO THE ENDINGS !!!!!
    I love this anime so much, thank you for reacting to his openings, it really made my day ❤
    Btw, in 2011, K-ON! became the first franchise to exceed 500,000 Blu-ray sales.
    Oh and this anime saved the economy of a little town named Toyosato.
    K-On! is a "cute girls doing cute things" type of anime. Literally what it says. And like you said this is a fully nice and heartwarming anime.
    And for the slice of life genre, an anime can be slice of life and also have drama, sad moments, etc...
    Annd for my recommendations, I'd love to see you reacting to Hyouka openings ! (same studio that did K-On!)

    K-ON is quite an old show at this point, many consiser it to be the first to really pioneer the "Cute girls doing [insert subject] things" genre- in this case 'Cute Girls doing cute music club things.' The show is a fan favourite for many people. A neat thing I'd like to point out is that all the OP songs are sung by the Character Yui, the girl on guitar. And all the EDs are sung by Mio the girl on bass with the long black hair. Which yes you should definitely react to.

Note that the voice actress for Mio is NOT left handed, so her learning to play the left handed bass as a righty is even more impressive. Also, I was looking for it in other comments, but I didn't see the explanation (unless I just didn't go far enough), so.... (MINOR SPOILER ALERT)
      Azusa Nakano (Azu-nyan) wasn't part of the band initially. The original opening only had four, because there were only the four (Yui Hirasawa, Tsumugi Kotobuki, Mio Akiyama, Ritsu Tainaka). Azusa joined partway through the first season; she's a year behind the others. Once she joined, they edited the opening to include her, and the rest of the openings included her after that. She's also not in the season one ending for the same reason.

    Kei-On is definitely part of the slice of life genre. Slice of life is a type of show where we usually follow a cast of characters through their day to day life. Closest in western media would be probably sitcoms, but the vibe is a bit different. Some people hate it, but a lot of people love it. You just have to watch a few to know where you stand.
    It is hard to put into words what makes Kei-on so good, but it is a classic for a reason. Under the direction of legendary director Naoko Yamada, her speciality is portraying emotion trough animation (especially with her signature leg shots), it can suck you into its world and lighten your mood every time. You should give it a watch, it's possible you won't really care for it, but it can also open up a huge special world you never knew about.

    K-On is a 2009 anime by Kyoto Animation (one of the animation studios with the VERY BEST animation out there, even before Ufotable started using the special effects on their animation)
    Basically, its about 5 teenage highschool girls making a band and joining the light music club (Keion-bu... K-On). Its a very simple story, with a lot of music and not a lot of drama. The music in it takes quite a bit of inspiration on the 2000's English pop scene, and has a lot of references to England and english musicians (even the movie that marks the end of the series takes place in London).
    I would say that this one is one for you to watch on your own, since the music of this anime is heavely copyrighted.
    PD: And yes, slice of life refers to just a story where there is not a lot of drama (if nothing at all) and just showcases a bunch of daily life situations.

  • @DanielKjeldal

    The openings feature Toyosaki Aki who plays Yui in the show, and you might recognise her voice as Yunyun from Konosuba.
    The endings are sung by the fantastic Hikasa Yoko, her voice is incredible, not to detract from Toyosaki Aki, her voice is amazing as well.
    I would also recommend checking out the songs written "in anime" by the light music club members, they are really fun and bouncy as well.
    And yes, you should watch this show at some point.

  • @ShadowCatGambit
    @ShadowCatGambit 9 місяців тому +1

    If I remember correctly, Go Go Maniac was the first song in Japan to be the most popular song from a band that wasn't a real band. K-on as a series pioneered Moe genre anime. I'm not sure exactly why it works so well, but I think a big thing is that you get to be part of a girl's friend group without feeling awkward or having your gender or social skills get in the way of the good vibes. These characters are just going through life and generally having a good time. In fact, my dad enjoyed this anime more than a certain Superman Movie that came out around the same time. He didn't understand why Kon (high school girls) could be better than Superman. The school that they go to is based on a real school, and there's even a parody on youtube where people act out the first opening at the school (with bizarre masks on of course). There are the critics of this anime of course. There's no real fanservice, the girls don't really do much that's exciting or interesting, and some people just found this boring; but for me, I just enjoy the girlish energy of goofing off and having fun with one another. It's not something I get to experience in my life as a male, and I really think it's just that simple as to what made this anime such a hit in Japan - you just feel good from the happy and cute energy, and it's a treat that guys don't usually get to feel because just being a guy is an obstacle to being able to experience what these girls experience in real life.

    Speaking of cast members singing OP/EDs, one of my favorite VAs is Ríe Takahashi. She appears in many anime, and often sings in some of their ED/OPs.
    You may know her as Megumin from KonoSuba, where she sings with the other cast members in the EDs for each season, the movie, and the spin-off.
    She also sings Stay Alive for one of the EDs to Re:Zero’s first season.
    She sings various songs for each episode of Teasing Master Takagi-san’s three seasons and movie.
    Each of the girls in One Room sing an ED, and she sings her arc in the second season.
    She sings the main ED with other cast members for Tomo-chan is a Girl.
    While she doesn’t sing either OP or ED in Oshi no Ko, she does sing several insert songs in the first episode.

    K-ON! Is arguably the first CGDCT anime. Cute Girls Doing Cute Things.
    Its literally a slice of life anime about a group of girls in their school's K-ON (light, or popular music club) and the band they form. Although they probably spend more time eating snacks and playing around than playing in a band.
    You're correct in the Voice Actresses having sung the songs! They even all learned their characters instruments (very, very basically. They still had a backing band doing the majority of the work) , and toured in Japan!
    The Endings are all more sung by Mio, the bassist, and have a different vibe than anything sung by Yui, who is singing these openings.
    K-ON is a fantastic pallette cleanser after watching a more intense anime. It's Light and Fluffy, and goes well with a side of Rice.

      I'd argue the first was Azumanga Diaoh, since that's the series that propagated all of the 4-koma comics with no particular plot where a bunch of cute girls just do mundane things. Lucky Star, Ichigo Marshmallow, K-on, every Kirara comic (Bocchi the Rock), ect all spawned directly from Azumanga. K-on mainly started the era where the girls were in some kind of random club/group.

    The ed to this show are even better, they are made more like music videos. There is actually 4 of them if you include the movie but the movies opening is more fun than anything else. This show is one where you can watch over and over and not get tired of it and actually they have so many songs that are good besides the op and Ed's. Most these productions actually require voice actors to know singing and learning of the instruments to form groups for live shows forming htt on this show. So they are actually singing and playing these songs besides voicing the characters. This show was a such a hit it gave rise to the genre. You definately should watch Ed's but the show, it's very enjoyable and refreshing.

    everytime i listening the last K-on opening i remembered when the audience sing along "daisuki~ daisuki~ daisuki wo arigatou" in their live concert and Mio's VA (Yoko Hisaka) teared up, it makes me feels emotional whenever the song hit that part :')

    For me in this anime the endings are much better than the openings, especially the first ending Don't say 'lazy' and the third ending NO,Thank You! I recommend catching up because I feel Luke that you will think the same once you check them out. Actually, you could also pick up the openings and endings of music anime like Kids on the Slope, Nana, Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song, Beck, Nodame Cantabile, Sound! Euphonium and many others.
    My 10 recommendations for reaction to anime openings and endings:
    - Ranking of Kings 1 opening & 3 endings
    - Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin (ENG title: Rainbow) 1 opening & 1 ending
    - Barakamon 1 opening & 1 ending
    - Bakuman 4 openings & 6 endings
    - Yakusoku no Neverland (ENG title: The Promised Neverland) 2 openings & 3 endings
    - D.Gray Man 9 endings
    - Golden Kamuy 4 endings
    - Ajin (ENG title: Ajin: Demi-Human) 3 openings & 2 endings
    - Beelzebub 5 openings & 6 endings
    - Shingeki no Bahamut (ENG title: Rage of Bahamut) 3 openings & 4 endings (1st season subtitled "Genesis" has 1 opening & 2 endings, 2nd season "Virgin Soul" has 2 openings & 2 endings)

    Fun fact: the voice actors quite literally learned how to play their respective instruments and sing specifically for this anime. Not only is the singing done by the VA's, the music is quite literally played by them too. And there are tons of songs not shown in the anime that they created under the same name as the band in the anime. You should really check out their music, there's a lot and it's amazing

  • @Red14548

    This could be considered one of the ultimate palate cleansers in anime. There's a itty-bitty bit of conflict because even the brightest life can't escape it. But this show is pure happy slice of life. Just some friends in a music, tea, and cake club in school and their everyday antics.

  • @dragonbretheren
    @dragonbretheren Рік тому +1

    Bocchi the Rock was basically "What if we did K-On again, but this time gave one of the character's crippling social anxiety?
    The 2nd opening sees the introduction of a new guitarist (the girl with pigtails) as the original cast enter their 2nd year of high school and a new 1st year girl joins the club. Many of the "outdoor" scenes still only show the original 4 because they couldn't find good ways to force Azusa in, but she was added in for all the instrumental parts. The 2nd version of the song also has her electric guitar added to the mix.

    The music for the series wasn't created by the VA's. However, they did do a concert in which they learned to play the instruments and learned a small selection of the songs the band played so they could play them for real. This included Mio's VA learning to play the Bass left-handed despite herself being right-handed (because Mio is left-handed).

    The voice for the lead character Yui (the one singing all the OP songs) actually joined 3 other VAs and created a musical group called 'Sphere' after K-On was so successful. Their music was also used for some anime!
    I look forward to seeing you react to the ED's the story of the group is loosely told by the OP/ED. In the OP they are up-and-coming fun-loving after school girls. The ED is more like finished-product rock stars. I love the contrast!

    I am so glad K-On was requested and reacted to. The ending should DEFINITELY be next. You definitely need to make this one of your nwxt long anime series and movies to watch. You will not be disappointed, and will not stop smiling for a month.
    As well as several of the in anime series songs.
    Starting woth Happy!Sorry, Tsubasa wo Kudasai (love me tender), Maddy Candy, Hikari, Curry Nochi rice, Unmei wa Endless, and Temshi ni Fureta yo!
    However... the songs that are a must losten and are non-negotiable are Fuwa Fuwa Time, My Love is a stapler, Fude pen Boru pen, Rice is a side dish, and lastly U&I.
    (Lastly, wanted to reccomend an Idol anime called Love Live. The music in that goes banger hard and will have you dancing nonstop)

    You got it right, this is a wholesome and happy anime, it's all a positive ride. Each episode won't fail to put a smile on your face. Also no, Slice of life is not no-drama anime, its tells you that the anime will take you through different stages of the life of main characters, for example some cases are from 1st high school year until graduation, others even go beyond that going from middle school up to kids and post university/parent life.

I would highly recommend checking out the endings to this anime, cuz while the ops are amazing and catchy, the endings will give you a look at their more "serious" music.

    Let's gooooo, this is what I've been waiting and you should definitely listen to the endings, they're even better, oh and actually there's one more opening that is from the movie. Also K-On is basically a pioneer of the moe genre and when it first aired broke a lot of records.
    Btw in the openigs the one singing is Yui (the protagonist) and in the endings the one singing is Mio (one of the member of the band), that's because both of them are vocalists of the band in the show.

    It was such a big deal in Japan that Fender Japan had a 800% sales increase in left handed sunburst Jazz bass guitars despite it being in the middle of the Great Recession as many people wanted to give music a try and play the same instrument Mio plays. The Season 1 OP and ED were the #1 and #2 songs on Japan's version of the billboard charts when it was airing. K-On is a majorly influential anime you should seriously consider watching. It's not solely cute girls doing cute things, it's more about coming of age. It is considered a slice of life music comedy.

    The day is here...finally, the K-on! reactions!!!! ❤
    I remember recommending it in one of the first comments i have ever left on your videos.
    Before i go on my fanboy rant, i really, really hope that you will check out the endings as soon as you can (there's 4 as well, 3 from the anime and 1 from the movie) too because they are even better than the openings (especially the first one Don't say 'lazy' and third one No, thank You) and the way they are created as MV just makes the whole HTT (the abbreviation of the name of their band) seem like an actual legit band
    Absolutely amazing songs
    This anime is in my top 3 favourites of all time, everything about this anime is just masterful, the characters are all amazing, the main cast is one of the best in the CGDCT (cute girls doing cute things) genre, the supporting ones are interesting and have a bigger role than how it usually is, this is one of those anime where there is no best girl....every girl is the best girl, even tho i really like Mio's personality...the journey we got on with them during those 3 years the anime takes place, the emotions it honestly brings that genuinely made me cry cus i didn't want it to end, the beatiful visuals from the Kyoto Animation studio and ofc, the music...all the songs (op, ed and the songs in the anime itself) are happy, upbeat and just sounds really damn good AND, which is a thing i love when the anime does....they are all sung by the voice actresses of the characters, all the songs are by HTT themselves
    This anime is one of the greatest comedy, music, slice of life, CGDCT anime ever made, i absolutely love it, it means a lot to me (hell, i own all the figures of the girls in costumes from the first ending among a lot of other ones and ofc, all the manga too)
    It always puts a smile on my face whenever someone new discovers it in any way, shape or form, even if it is just through its music.
    Now i know this genre is not for everyone, it wasn't for me at first but anime like K-On!, Non Non Biyori and Yuru Camp opened this can of worms for me and now CGDCT along with Iyashikei (pretty much healing/feel good anime)
    are my absolute favourite anime genres.
    I will need to rewatch the whole anime including the movie now, that's a rule
