Lets start things off by saying that I for one am not into the whole moe or cutesy whatever type of anime sort of thing. That's about all though that I'll have to say that initially didn't allow me to pick up K-On to watch in the first place. As I am an avid music lover mostly alternative rock up into last year I'd say that I really enjoyed the music HTT had provided throughout the series. Since this is my first review for this blog let me tell you guys first a little about myself. Truth is I never really cared for anime at all until late last year. I never really criticized the people that watched it, but I never really saw myself watching it anytime at all. That really changed when I started college, which is sadly... not something I should have started at all. I wish I hadn't started watching anime at all as it takes up a considerable amount of time and realllly affects my school work. Still though no regrets! Anime is like the best thing that's ever happened to me! Really places myself in a whole nother world. As of when I really started anime up until now I managed to cram 150+ anime series all in the course of this past half year. In my opinion that's really going overboard, but what's to stop me now? ahha
WEll back to the review. I promise I won't do that background thing again anytime in the future. Since this is my first one I thought I'd throw in a little information. So honestly after watching K-on the first time last year, I really wasn't hooked that much... I even didn't go onto to season two even though it was available at the time. The episodes just seemed so random and the girls did really lets see odd and peculiar things. I found myself thinking...why would they do the things they did. Especially Yui. She is beyond words, I don't even know how she would survive college without her group(especially since her mature younger sister isn't there). Last week I finally took to watch season 2 and thank god that I did. After finishing the series, I felt such an emotional attachment to the characters that I realllly wished that a season 3 will air. I suddenly realized that the odd group of girls that once eluded my interest had suddenly got me to want a lot more. The character development for each character is so thorough that I can practically imagine given a scenario just exactly how each of them will act. I was so emotionally attached to the series something I hadn't felt since the longer series such as ranma 1/2 and inuyasha. How they managed to create a huge imprint on me with so little episodes is a huge success and I find this anime to be a must watch even for those who hate the moe stuff. The emphasis of characters is the key seller for this anime for me as the animation is a bonus too. The story is actually pretty intriguing as well although at times you wonder if the characters are progressing at all(this is actually because they are pretty lazy so a lot of unnecessary tasks are tackled) I now suffer from chronic depression(just kidding, but I am really depressed) from finishing this anime. I find myself listening to their songs millions of times and playing their songs over and over in Osu! the rhythm based music game. There is now a deep wound placed upon me.
This is not an anime you can describe by just saying its synopsis and giving details. People will just believe it's a stupid anime. These are one of the animes you can only appreciate after following through and finishing. Again I'm not into the whole cutesy anime girl stuff so for me to love this series so much is really something.
K-On! (Season 1)
K-On!! (Season 2)
Music 9
I'm seriously addicted to the music
Story 7
It goes wishy washy sometimes, but this is only typical in a average female highschoolers life, suprisingly very chronological with many situations and resolutions.
Art 8
The art style is pretty straighforward for modern anime and I enjoyed it alot
Character 10
I have a deep emotional tie towards these characters that can never be replaced by anything else.
Overall I give this anime an 8
