Synopsis

A fresh high school year always means much to come, and one of those things is joining a club. Being in a dilemma about which club to join, Yui Hirasawa stumbles upon and applies for the Light Music Club, which she misinterprets to be about playing simple instruments, such as castanets. Unable to play an instrument, she decides to visit to apologize and quit.

Meanwhile, the Light Music Club faces disbandment due to a lack of members. This causes the club members to offer anything, from food to slacking off during club time, in order to convince Yui to join. Despite their efforts, Yui insists on leaving due to her lack of musical experience. As a last resort, they play a piece for Yui, which sparks her fiery passion and finally convinces her to join the club.

From then onward, it is just plain messing around with bits and pieces of practice. The members of the Light Music Club are ready to make their time together a delightful one!

The trope is absolutely heartwarming and I enjoyed every second of it. This anime has a special place in my heart because its the first thing I had ever watched with my girlfriend.

The art style is so cute and adorable, The colours are so bright and ...

I really liked it when I whatched it but as time passed I forgot everything Its a fine show if you like slice of life cute girls doing cute stuff you will like it if you arent the type to actually like or whatch something like this you will dislike it.Its not a figthing anime its a comfy cute type of anime.Which is why: I reccomend it to people who like cutesy anime.And I dont to people who look for something like aot and dislike the genre.

For me it was fine I cant remember it but i had a good time when I whatched it.

The way I look at things, getting children into music is never a bad thing, it gives them something to focus on, enhances the brain and can be a future for some, be it as a musician or any of the jobs with a musical need.

Story - 2/10

Even though the show sells itself as a music/band show, a majority of the time it's a slice of life/school show, with just a bit of musical talk in-between.

It's not a ...
