Irishchatter 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!

BecauseIAmBATMAN 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.

atwood96 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

alex_doub_dude 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.
