So my dad finally just decided to look through episode of K-On!

Gelzo

Apparently while my mom and I were getting my Grandfather from the hospital, my dad though it fit to watch all of my anime, in my laptop at least.

He looked throughout all of my torrents and grilled me on the contents. I can't believe this man. Any moe in it was used to launch some kind "WHAT IS YUI'S APPEAL SUPPOSED TO BE TELL ME NOW" offensive on me.

When I raised objections to this, he said, and this is his exact words, "Yui is below even This Loser Is You". 

And this man has the audacity--the fucking gall--to say I'm the one who disappoint him.

(I am a bad person.)

Because sometimes, cross-line reading doesn't produce good results.

Ah ha ha ha ha.

GuyInWhite

Meh. K-On is shit anyway.

DYRE

Nope.

DonZabu

I'll tell ya what's really shit: Cowboy Bebop.

Komodin

Nope.

DonZabu

I kid, I kid.

Though I've been thinking lately about saying that on the main TV Tropes forum, perhaps in one of the unpopular opinion threads, as a test of the community's fetish for persecution and Hype Backlash.

All Nines

Eh. There's plenty worse than K-On!, though I actually like K-On!, so I'm biased.

And in all seriousness, I don't like Cowboy Bebop's animation and refuse to watch it.

This thread is fucking hilarious. No lie. Nice one, Gelzo.

Komodin

I doubt anyone would care, though.

What I can't understand is, why everybody thinks that Cowboy Bebop's soundtrack is awesome. Personally, I wasn't impressed. It's slightly above average at best.

glennmagusharvey

Never heard it other than the theme song, which is of course awesome.

Because for once it wasn't generic J-pop.

>Implying that J-Pop OPs aren't cool.

Nyarly

^^ That is the sole reason?

glennmagusharvey

> implying that j-pop isn't cool

ninjaclown

It used different styles of music throughout it's soundtrack, mainly jazz. Even if you don't like it (and why wouldn't you, that would be implying you don't enjoy anything but j-pop), you have to commend them for putting effort into making awesome songs like Gotta Knock A Little Harder. Just listen to it and tell me that's a terrible song.

DYRE

How often is J-pop used in the actual soundtrack of anime? Like, other than OPs and EDs.

glennmagusharvey

^^ Hmm, that is quite a nice song.

^ Yeah, I've not heard it apart from opening themes, ending themes, and occasional insert songs.  Most of the soundtrack is usually light classical, light piano, or background light pop.  Or, occasionally, modern film-score-style symphonic/classical, jazz styles, or electronica.

Nyarly

^^^ Maybe it's that. I don't really like jazz. I don't dislike it, but it's not my kind of music.

Now, if they had used rock...

Trash_Vortex

Rock is overused these days.

Nyarly

There can never be too much rock.

Gelzo

I'm told you can't stop the rock.

Komodin

Rock is overused these days.

This.

Rock music in soundtracks is usually bad.  Or at least, when I think "rock music in soundtracks" I think of generic heavy metal guitar riffs that all end up sounding exactly the same.  So I'm hesitant about saying there should be more of it, even if I normally am a fan of rock music in general.
