K-On!

It's an out and out comedy anime with elements of musical and slice-of-life. It is the story of 5 High School girls joining the light music club of the all-girls private Sakuragaoka High School. Their practices, performances, school activities, other outside activities or even their challenges have been covered in a very subtle and comedic way. So, rest assured there is no unnecessary drama. The weird habits of each protagonist only add fun to it. The anime is just too good when you compare it with your world-weariness. The main female characters are kawaii(cute) and the (original) Japanese voice actors make sure that they sound just as sweet and as innocent. The anime is a very definition of Moe itself. Even the ending has been shown in such a way that the only reason why you would feel sad is because this cuteness comes to an end.

If you are looking for some slice-of-life recommendations, this one should be at the top of your watchlist. However, I don't believe that this anime is for those who has just started watching anime.

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.

»K-On!« is one of the most successful anime series ever made. To a distant observer this might seem strange, because the plot looks as empty as it gets. It's just about five girls hanging out together and playing in a school band called »After School Tea Time«. There is no drama to speak of and barely any tension. Still, »K-On!« is remarkable, exactly because it renounces any kind of dramatic structure. The depiction of everyday life is calm, sweet and surprisingly witty. (There are even some jokes about j-horror and slice of life anime.) »K-On!« is the perfect show to sit back and relax after a hard day of work.

But there's more to it than that. With Naoko Yamada (»A Silent Voice«), the anime has a director of great talent. Her portrayal of the young schoolgirls is insightful and lovely. It's more about character, less about plot. Sure, some people might call »K-on!« a mere excuse to show cute girls. But the series has a bigger point to make. It's actually a bittersweet tale of lost innocence. Yamada clearly knows that the friendship depicted in the story is not as firm as it seems. There's a longing nostalgia encasing »K-on!«, the thought of the adult that goes something like this: »Oh, these naive girls, their friendship won't last forever. But I sure whish it would. Hell, I wish my highschool years were like this!«

In the first season, Yamada totaly merges into the ideal world of the highschool student. In the second season, she unravels this illusion gently. The conclusion of this theme is very touching. If you want to watch a relaxing, entertaining and sensitive anime, you can't go wrong with »K-on!«. It's heartfelt and doesn't deserve the eye-rolls it sometimes gets.

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!
