It even has Galaxy Angel in the list, which is one of the most vapid cute girl shows I can think of. Note the top 10 anime of 2002, for instance, as voted for on 2Ch - while King Gainer and Haibane Renmei are at the top, and there's a pleasant appearance by Twelve Kingdoms in the list, the rest of the list is things like Sister Princess, Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar, Azumanga, Figure 17 (which, although quite plot heavy, heavily played on the moe relationship between its two 10 year old female leads) etc. Ii) It's also difficult to get my head round K-On being the progenitor of this phenomenon. I would consider, for instance, Orange to be a "difficult-type" show, despite being a character drama, whereas Amanchu is clearly an "atmosphere-type" show. I think that's too simplistic and naive a distinction, but certainly I'm more interested in shows with Stories with a capital S (yes, K-On has a story, but. Dai Sato once put it as the difference between "atmosphere-type" shows and "difficult-type" shows, where atmosphere emphasises character and difficult emphasises plot. I) I'll fully admit to being annoyed at the success of such shows, but I don't think it's about "manliness".
I would take issue with two parts of this statement (which I know is hyperbolic and not entirely sincere, but I'm responding anyway) Then they make memes with their characters, and post about much they love them, drawing even more attention, and so on and so forth.Īnd now that these shows are more popular than ever, the haters all see shows like K-ON! as the thing that RUINED anime by making so many people like it, blaming it and its fans for why so many CGDCT shows are made. And now that K-ON! fans like this genre, they look for the other shows in it. People are angry because this harmless slice-of-life show involving cute high school girls is now the new hottest thing instead of their manly anime. I'm sure we've all heard statements like those somewhere. "Those moeshit fans are the worst, always screaming about how great this cute girl show is when nothing happens in it." "What a bunch of freaks, those K-ON! fans. "How could this show possibly be seen as better than my 80s or 90s manly shounen action show?!?" It may not have invented or popularized the genre, but the show's massive popularity in of itself definitely drew attention to it, causing anime fans to see all these people cheerfully raving about a cute girls doing cute things show as blasphemous. In this game where class trials don't exist, the only way to get rid of the traitor is to find him and kill him off.As zulux said, K-ON!'s popularity is mostly responsible for all the vitrol.
Naegi is forced to face the ultimate death In this game where class trials don't exist, the only way to get rid of the traitor is to find him and kill him off. To make things worse, there apparently is a real traitor amongst their ranks who is coming to kill the members of the Future Foundation. The Future Foundation members had gathered together to decide on his punishment, but they all end up getting trapped inside the place they were meeting by Monokuma, who demands that they begin the "Final Killing." They have strange bangles put on their wrists, and are given tranquilizers when a certain time arrives. Although the organization continues its activities to restore the world, Makoto Naegi is under suspicion of treason due to him shielding a Remnant of Despair. Description: The world was close to being destroyed by Ultimate Despair, who caused "The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History." In order to save this world from the event's chaos, the Future Foundation was formed.
