* [[Fandom Rivalry]] - Whatever you do, do NOT mention both ''[[K-On!]]'' and ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' in one sentence at websites where fans of those shows are. (Since they're mostly infested with trolls.) The odd thing is: While the creators for the manga/light novels are different, they were both made as animes by the same company, Kyoto Animation. The rivalry stems mainly from the fact that both ''K-On!'' and the second season of ''Haruhi'' were produced around the same time, and both (supposedly) suffered for it in terms of quality storytelling. Plus, there are moments in ''Haruhi'' where the characters resembled ''K-On!'''s characters.

** Sadly, there isn't much to alleviate those claims if the Facebook fanpage is any indication. 60% of the comments on any given picture will be "kawaii" and many will not fail to add the "-chan" honorific when referring to any of the girls. Such generalizing is still unfair to the rest of us though.
