One easy example of that attitude of the critics that I called "bullying" is their attitude towards Yui from K-ON. For reference, you should know the people/websites I'm talking about ;) I think that the kindest word the critics have used to describe Yui is "airhead" – and not in a particularly affective tone.

They threw the bar up pretty high that this time we would get more music.

But after Endless 8 who knows what KyoAni will make the next time around :p
K-on is good show for what it is worth, even the second season. But if you had the tiniest hope that they would make more music well…
It´s both good and bad with a title and stuff that has to do with music, but ends up as a “let´s goof around and talk about anything else but music” show.
