K-On!

This show is nothing short of a masterpiece. Only a genius could write a story that leaves such character attachment. After a few episodes you will find yourself strangely attached to the light music club, and all its members. The brilliance of the character development, each one with their own little quirks and traits, is the strong point of this show. Though each episode is pretty devoid of any real plot, on a per-episode basis, the pacing is great and it never becomes dull.

If you love music, you'll love this show. The opening theme, Cagayake Girls, and one of the songs used during the series, "Fuwa Fuwa Time", are catchy as hell. You'll find yourself downloading the mp3s and putting them on your iPod, or what have you.

The first episode might not hook you, but if you watch 3 or 4 then you will surely become a fan.

Best part? There is a second season, and it's even better.

Difficult to put into words what I felt.

Seeing k-on was an escape, a sigh from all the problems I had in my day to day, watching a chapter was completely disconnecting from the real world and enjoying a wonderful story.

The tranquility and simplicity make the series a very difficult work for me to overcome. His story always felt organic, human. Her characters, so simple and unique in their sense, from Yui with her big heart, Mio and her shyness, Mugi with her sweetness, to Ritsu with her explosiveness. He knows how to create funny, funny moments, ilarious situations, but he also knows how to make me cry, make us feel sad and a little depressed, but always with a smile.

I am writing this and my desire to cry does not disappear, they are still here, and here they will stay. K-on is not for everyone, it does not have a strong plot, nor an extremely great character development, and it is precisely because of this that I consider it one of the best series I have seen. Also, isn't it incredible that such beautiful songs come from here? It really is a gem in every way.

Graduation is not the end. Thanks K-On!

My first exposure to this anime was when I was either 10 or 9 years old, I dont remember clearly, but it aired on this asian Anime channel called Animax and I watched it. Not quite knowing what anime was at that time, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Later I did research after watching it on Animax about three times.

This anime taught me a lot, I'd say the way I am now is because of this anime.

After I rewatched it when I was in highschool, the anime hit different. I could see that the interactions the girls had would be a lot similar to mine as I always studied in an All girl's school. I also related to Ritsu a lot. It was a comfort show to me, if I felt sad or happy I'd search it up and watch it. It is one show I will never get tired of no matter how much I watch it. Even the mangas, I love them so much. I remember in 6th grade we had to write letters to our favourite authors as a part of our library period. I wrote a letter to Kakifly thanking her for making such a manga.

I cant explain how much I love this show and the mangas. It's my all time favourite, I learnt a lot through this anime :)

Hope y'all like the review.

Even though K-On! is supposed to be about the light music club in a Japanese high school, 80% of the show is the characters drinking tea, eating cake or simply having fun with the music part gracing us rarely. There is no plot and is mostly about cute girls doing cute things. But then, why does it work so well?

Its the characters and the completely relaxed atmosphere. Even if the characters live in their exaggerated anime land tropes, they feel real and honest. There is nothing to worry about while watching this show, watching these characters have fun, be carefree and work hard when they need to makes us have a wonderful time. This show is the equivalent of being served hot chocolate after being invited to a warm cozy home in winter or cool ice cream in summer. Its the ultimate anti- depressant.

There is great sense of escapist nostalgia while watching this show, its self aware with the fact with characters who never get fat while eating so many sweets, or having successful shows even though they barely practice and goof up something near the last moments. One would wish if real life were like K-On!

When the series ends you are left with a sense of melancholia that is bittersweet on seeing the characters graduate and move on with their fun phase of school life. But you know they will never stop having fun till the end.

I really thought this anime was really well done and the music was very uplifting. I like the fact that we see the 4 girls being more themshelves then based on how they look. I sometimes feel that some anime always makes young girls look "overly cute" but this one really stood out for me since their personalities were totally unique!

Definitely recommend this anime to anyone who is need of music in their ears and a bit of relaxed humour as well! I given it 8/10!
