Yeah, its because they are moving everything over to a streaming service, so they made episodes 2 and 3 private. It's a shame.

And now... the video is private.

Yeah, but now you have to sign up for a streaming platform to watch it (that was their most recent video). I have mixed feelings about it.

This was probably when they started talking to Angel Studios...

Apparently this will all be on Angel Studios streaming platform, and not on YouTube. I can understand, but this isn't great for fans. I feel like they were deceptive about this early on, and should have prepared people for it, making it seem they would stay on YouTube and not take down episodes.

YouTube video by MechWest Show What's Happening to MechWest?

I understand *why* they are doing this. Right now, only one episode is available to watch for free. Everyone is being shoehorned into signing up for another streaming platform. Not the best look. Couldn't they do something like what VivziePop did with #HelluvaBoss? www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I9K...

Since this came out over a month ago, those who are producing MechWest decided to take down free episodes of this series (except for episode 1) and put them on Angel Studios, a streaming platform with Christian content, which isn't something I want to support, honestly.

Let me end this thread with a review box for the series, taking into account the entire Blu-ray box set. That's all for this thread. Until next time! (31/31)

Despite that, fans can push for better within #anime series. It is certainly possible that the story could have been better, and stronger, with canon #yuri relationships. Even so, I am generally satisfied with #K-On!, as the series is certainly well-done and well-executed. (30/?)

A trend toward “nomance” in animation?: Increased depictions of female friendships Recently, UCLA’s Center for Scholars & Storytellers released their Teens & Screens Report, which stated that of the over 1,600 adolescents they polled, over 63% preferred stories focu…

There have been additional series in recent years, as #femalefriendship anime continues to grow within #animation, particularly in #anime. histhermann.wordpress.com/2024/11/01/a... (29/?)

Female friendship and queerness across girl-centered anime In mid-August, queer media critic Kira Deshler wrote on her newsletter, Paging Dr. Lesbian, about how many queer fans of Wednesday believe that titular character Wednesday Addams (played by Jenna O…

This is why that #k-on is similar to other recent series centering on female friendship: histhermann.wordpress.com/2025/09/10/f... (28/?)

I don't disagree with Friedman's assertion that "there is no yuri" in #K-On! nor do I disagree with her comment that there will "never be yuri in this series." Instead, there's only #femalefriendship present. That is abundantly clear from the series itself. okazu.yuricon.com/2011/05/12/k... (27/?)

That is downplaying what is really going on. At the same time, I agree with Friedman in the sense that #K-On! has "cute girls being cute [and] cutely-type series" and is, undoubtedly, a "sincerely adorable story." okazu.yuricon.com/2011/03/26/b..., okazu.yuricon.com/2011/12/18/t... (26/?)

However, I feel she may be putting down the series in certain ways. I have similar feelings about those who describe the series as "basically a #sitcom." okazu.yuricon.com/2014/01/08/n... (25/?)

Friedman has a point that there's "nothing deep or meaningful in K-ON!," apart from a lot of "memories and some good times with friends," as she said about the #manga. okazu.yuricon.com/2011/12/19/k... (24/?)

In her view, the series has elements which reflect real life. okazu.yuricon.com/2012/08/31/k... (23/?)

This series was enjoyable, with #femalefriendship at the center. @okazu.yuricon.com, reviewed the show's second season, describing it as having "palpable lack of #Yuri." She embraced it as fitting, even though commenters did not necessarily agree with her. okazu.yuricon.com/2012/08/15/k... (22/?)

In #TamakoMarket, there is "an absence of a long-term objective." Tamako tries to maintain a normal life, even after Dera causes a ruckus after showing up. infinitemirai.wordpress.com/2024/10/02/r... (21/?)

Some said that both series have different objectives. #K-On! shows Yui's journey through #music with help from those around her, becoming a story of appreciation and growth. (20/?)

Unlike #K-On!, which did not include the reported #romance present in the #manga, #TamakoMarket added in romantic elements, either between Tamako and Mochizo or Midori's feelings for Tamako in the film (Tamako Love Story). en.namu.wiki/w/%ED%83%80%... (19/?)

I wish special features were distributed throughout the disc set, rather than on one disc. Even so, the release is better than other anime Blu-ray releases. It's an improvement from a previous release of #kon, as a guest reviewer on @okazu.yuricon.com noted okazu.yuricon.com/2011/05/31/k... (10/?)
