K-On!: Live House!

It is almost the end of the year, and Houkago Tea Time has been invited to participate in a live house on New Year's Eve! The iconic band members are Yui Hirasawa, the carefree guitarist who is enthusiastic to play music; Mio Akiyama, the shy bassist who gets embarrassed easily; Tsumugi Kotobuki, the gentle and sweet keyboardist who finds joy in normal activities; Ritsu Tainaka, the extroverted drummer who likes to tease Mio; and Azusa Nakano, the rhythm guitarist who is one year younger than the rest but slightly more mature.

Performing in the set gives the girls the rare opportunity to meet various people from different bands, including the one that invited them, Love Crysis. Will Houkago Tea Time be able to delight their audiences successfully?

Just another episode of season 1, it's not really an OVA so I won't treat it as one. I loved this episode, it was fun to see ho-kago tea time progress from a school club to branching out. The comedy is great in this OVA. It is a mixture of the voice acting, situation, and running jokes which make the comedy so great. The characters are so lovable for me personally, some people might disagree. I just like to see them just run around and vibe, it reminds me of the good times that I spend with my friends. All of us just goofing around, ... making fun of each other, doing stupid shit, and having fun. K-on is nothing out of this world, but it is still special regardless. 7/10

Story 10/10
Art 10/10
Sound 10/10
Character 10/10
Enjoyment 10/10

This is basically just another episode of K-On! You got the same art, story, characters, and yeah everything. So for the story we still got their wholesomeness, clumsiness, and their comedy. Nothing change for art, still that same old artsyle they have in the original anime. The ED and OP song also didn't change, and the BGM too.

If you're a superfan of K-On! You should definitely watch this. This episode cover how they spend their Christmas and New Year. However if you somehow skip the original anime and immediately watch this, I reccomend you to not doing that. Because there ... is barely any character development here. Thats all i gotta say about this special. Thank you for reading my review.

Story: The OVA is a little bit different from the usual episodes of K-ON, where they just usually hang out in the club room -> drink tea -> do cute things. This episode portrayed how Houkago Tea Time realize that the world of music is vast and there are a lot of bands out there who clearly have a lot of experience compared to them and already set of goal for they're band.

Art: The art is similar to season 1 of Anime which is really great.

Sound: No new song was introduce in this OVA.

Character: There are a lot of minor characters appeared on this ... OVA. The character development for each member of Houkago Tea Time was also good.

Enjoyment: For a stand alone OVA, i really enjoy this a lot.

Overall: if you want to watch this OVA then watch this before starting season 2. There's a high chance that you might forget watching this OVA if you start watching season 2, as season 2 and its OVA was a lot better compared to this OVA(live house, At least for me).
