K-On!

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.

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.

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!

K On! is about a bunch of girls joining the Keion (easy listening) music club, jam some music, have fun together, and have tea, together, in a cutesy cutesy way. If you are discouraged by this short summary, it is normal and that's sucks. But fear not, once you start watching, it will grows on you.

The characters (Yui, Mio, Ritsu, Tsumugi,...) are all freaking likable because they are all adorable, hilarious and cute. Also their friendship is also adorable to watch, at times, very hilarious. Their journey to conquer their weaknesses are also, very funny. Yep, even character weaknesses are funny to watch.

So, you maybe thinking 'It must be am audience entertainment bait like fan services in those anime with big boobs teenage girls and kawaii lolitas.' Nope. At times they show some passion about music and especially rock, which very based on teenagers reaction when they listen to their favourite genre. It feels very high schoolish. And I couldn't believe how magically it can achieve it, although it does not dwells very deep onto the subject, yeah cup cakes and tea.

Overall I gave it a 9 because I cannot make it a 9.5 and there's not enough music from a easy listening club. Other than that, it's a great anime about friendship, high school, and jamming music.

BTW, those equipment are expensive, especially that Les Paul Yui using. LES F*CKING PAUL, FOR A BEGINNER!!!!! Damn

(For S1 and S2) I can't befriend anyone who doesn't feel anything when they realize the journey with these four girls is gonna end.

This series reminded me of my dream that establishing (or joining) a rock band, and how amazing rock music is. The plot......almost doesn't exist, but that's its advantage, which is you can watch it in an extremely relaxing, comfortable condition. If you like animes describing the daily lives of a group of people, you must be high for K-On. Not only that, but you can also feel touched seeing these four's growth and the spirit of music. Last but not least, the girls are so freaking cute. Be there forever! Honey Tea Time!!
