| I believe it is because of Moe! Perhaps there is only a Ritsu in Minmai-ke and it needs a Yui and Mio rather than a Mugi. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Minami-ke is actually on my PTW - the only reason I discovered K-On first is because I happened to catch it when it was airing. Discovered Minami-ke via MAL quite a bit later. |
| I'm rewatching Minami-ke, no doubt its funnier than K-on. A few reasons why K-on is more popular imo: -The last 2 seasons sucked, compared to the first. And the first is ooooold (2007) so no one really talks about it anymore. - Minimike is a show about nothing really, theres no real emotion or focus in it, but K-on has a musical focus (barely) and has more drama and bittersweet moments - K-on has much MUCH better production. From the OPs and EDs to general fluid animation, k-on kills minami-ke. The musical focus also helps here because we have excellently animated concerts and original songs. Theres alot of changes in scenery as well, while mk is set mostly in their house and a stock classroom. Generally, the more money and effort put in, the more comes out - Moe |
| Like they said above, it is the moe factor. You never saw sigs and avatars all over the place of minami-ke, but K-on is all everywhere. On many sites they had a poll over which character was the cutest, better, etc. It is too bad that Minami-ke didn't have a bigger following, but maybe threads like this will generate interest. |
| K-On was funny? where? that was just some moe series with a lot of moe and moe above minami-ke is way better than k-on |
| Should i watch this? Im not much of a lolicon |
| You should absolutely watch Minami-ke. At least the first season. I won't blame you for missing Okawari or Okaeri, but the first season is a must. |

Don't know how you can find this funny and K-on not, first season is some of the funniest shit I've ever seen, and the 2nd season of K-on has nearly zero moe.K-On was funny? where? that was just some moe series with a lot of moe and moe above minami-ke is way better than k-on |
| K-ON! is popular, because it centers around two popular things--moe and music. You really can't create a series like that and not have it be popular. I agree though, Minami-Ke is way better. The characters and storyline, while episodic, are much more charming in my opinion. |
| This is tons better than K-On (I've only seen season 1 but it was enough). I prefer slice of life which is actually funny (the same boke-tsukkommi routine over and over is not what I call decent humor). |
| I thought K-ON was a bit more fun to watch than Minami-ke. I didn't like how the art style kept changing (along with their apartment) every season. |
 |
| Not moe enough. And a pretty weak season 2/3 compare to season 1 while K-On is the other way around with S2 being better (IMHO) But seriously, I don't care though. As much as I like both, Minami-ke is always above everything else for me in term of Slice-of-Life. Sure AzuDaioh/LuckyStar/IchigoMash are all pretty damn good but there is something in Minami-ke (S1 only) that separate it from the others. That something maybe refers to Hosaka, or Kana, hmmm. I am not sure |
   |
| Yeah, I'll take Kana and Hosaka in any of the three season over anyone in K-ON any day. Yeah, the latter seasons for Minami-ke weren't quite as good as the original but the first season is one of the absolute funniest anime series I've ever seen. Good stuff. |

| Blame the Mio fanboys. |
  |
| Probably because the cuteness of some of the characters, they find K-On's characters cuter, altho I like Minami-ke's characters better :D |
 |
| I think Minami-ke was good, but as for popularity vs K-On, you are competing with a) Kyoani b) Extreme Moe I preferred the art a lot more in K-On! also. |
Letitbe said: I think Minami-ke was good, but as for popularity vs K-On, you are competing with a) Kyoani b) Extreme Moe QFT. the reason is MOE and KYOANI.. Minami-ke is way better than K-ON imho. |
 |
| For the record, I never really laughed during Minami-ke. I'm not sure what most people are referring to when they talk about superior comedy in Minami-ke. Am I supposed to find this cross-dressing and slapstick funny? If that's what you're looking for then I suppose Minami-ke would be superior, but I honestly think K-ON is quite a bit better SoL/Comedy in every other department. |

| Because it's better ? to me it's K-ON!! > Minami-Ke > K-ON! haven't watch the other seasons of minami-ke , many people says they sucks . so that's why. |
| Minami-ke = the best.. Minami-ke > K-On! > Minami-ke Okaeri+Betsubara > Minami-ke Okawari > K-On!! |
| Never really gave this fact much thought, but as I see it, it's like this: K-On = All cute girls, which pretty much got all personalities/moe covered (intellectual,glasses,cute,stupid,carefree,teacher,underclassmen,sisters,blonds,quiet,active,serious,tomboyish,innocent,noisy...etc.). Almost everything that are cute to girls and attractive to boys... I got tired of Yui's whining in season2... Minami-ke = well,they fell short on some,if not most categories...but this probably topped the "stupid" factor,in a good a way. The cross-dressing really ruined it for me,although I think it's essential for the story and Makoto's character development and I did find some scenes really funny... I almost dropped season2 and almost didn't bother to give season3 a try because of season2... Still, this was the show that got me rolling for fan-subbed anime... |

| Oh, not this thing again :( Why comparing this and that? Just enjoy both K-On is great.. Minami-ke too, both are appealing Both have different genres.. So, everyone taste is different I don't see any problem, although K-On Movie without doubt is better than this P.S : KyoAni is famous for moeness, you definitely can't miss that.. JK xD |

| I don't know how you could compare those shows |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| How the hell can you even compare these two shows? Both are plenty different and if anything minami-ke is in more of a group with nichijou, nichibros and asobi asobase than it is with k-on! Not to mention that minami ke also had male characters which k-on!(A CGDCT) lacks hence why it is more popular amongst the otakus than minami-ke is. |
