[spoilers]Yui is a very close second, though[/spoilers]

What is wrong with free improv? if a jazz artist didn't at least experiment with it in the 60s or whatever he probably isn't that influencial anyway

That's not Ritsu

>if you don't like my ultrabland SoL you must like the cringiest anime of all time!

c'mon bro, at least try

Afrocentrists, the list

>K-ON!
>ultrabland

kys

literally perfected the genre

>Dizzy Gillespie
>not eccentric personality

There you go faggot

What about him was eccentric

lmao @ people thinking a genre that had reached its logical conclusion with Azumanga Daioh could be improved on by an endless rehash of common tropes

>Azumanga Daioh

DUDE REPEATING THE SAME GAG OVER AND OVER TO TRY AND MAKE YOU THINK ITS MORE FUNNY THAN IT REALLY IS LMAO

that's japanese humour, if you don't like that, no wonder a show without gags, identity or appeal would feel like an improvement to you

>K-ON!

>no gags, identity or appeal

what are you smoking? non-repetitive gags =/= no gags

K-ON! has plenty of identity which goes hand in hand with its appeal, obviously it appeals to a fuckton of people and so obviously to them it has an identity that stands out much more than other moe anime

do you think people consistently rate K-ON! as one of the greatest anime ever for no reason?

This basically, just listed traits of creative people

>Archie Shepp
>not free improv or Afrocentrism
What

His music is so yawn-inducing

>OP is a subhuman weaboo

Does Herbie Hancock fall into any of these?
I know for sure he's not eccentric and he's not dead.

>Jazz artist breathes

Bill Evans was a heroin addict a good portion of his life

I meant Gill evans when I said trill evans

>artist commits suicide at age 27
