K-On!

I really wanted to watch a music anime. I've read my share of musical mangas, but never actually watched an anime. My initial choice was Beck, but I ran into K-On instead. Its softer side lured me in. I'm always up for a good comedy. By the end of show I wasn't disappointed.

Yui is a clumsy bum-girl, who decides her first year of High School is the perfect chance to join a club for the first time. Problem is Yui doesn't know how to play any instrument. Good thing for her, the Light Music Club needs 1 more member to stay open. Yui quickly learns to play the guitar and sing.

Even though the focus of the anime is on the Light Music music, music performances aren't often. The show itself often pokes fun at self for not having enough music, which makes it hard to criticize.

Pros:

• Quick Pace
• Cute characters
• Good Music

Cons:

• Not enough of the good music
• Boys don't like music?
• Still don't know why show is called K-On!?

K-On had its funny moments and good music. Not often I would say, but enough to keep the 14 episodes from getting stale.

Final Verdict:
K-ON!: B
