I like the first episode and the introduction of the main four girls. Everything was funny and adorable. I am so glad I watched this anime.

PS: Mio is the best character ever! She is pretty, smart, shy, and can play the bass, an instrument I wouldn't dare to try. (I'd rather play keyboards or drums lol). I hope we would see more of her and her relationship with the other three girls in the next episode.
Cartoons and anime is my reality.

Me too. I've been waiting for too long before I finally had a look. Not bad, I must say.

Re-Watching K-On! Episode 1 and I was like... WAIT WHAT?!
Seriously, on 13:10, when Yui was walking at the hallway, something pops-up a second later...

If God exists, then he should try extending my deadline right now!

I really liked the first episode. The Opening is alright I need to hear it a few more times but that ending song is amazing! I like all 4 girls, I think my favourite is Mio ^^

Well, there are people who genuinely enjoy these types of shows.

Good first episode,I like this,it wasn't overbearingly moe like say GochiUsa which I hated.

Kinda sucks knowing majority of this anime won't be music but tea and snack time instead but enjoyed this episode overall so pretty sure I'll enjoy the rest.

I liked it. That main character though, Yui. She's the absolute epiphany of lazy people that I have a hard time dealing with, because you try to ask those people questions and they give you very vague answers. I think it's funny tho. Definitely gonna give this one a shot

Just started finally watching it. I must say that the moe-ness is off the charts. You really have to have some enjoyment with moe to like this series. Yui is my favourite character so far.

I went into K-on episode 1 just now expecting a band like Girls Dead Monster from Angel Beats! and what I received was a complete abomination of cute girls doing cute things and nothing else racked up with cliches.

Is Love life even good either?
If anyone can recommend me something where a girl sings and it sounds cool that would be great.

Edit: Tbh... I haven't even finished episode 1 yet I just had a cringe attack. Now I'm going to try and finish it after cringing so badly. Wish me luck.

So I watched 4 episodes of this back in 2010, and now I'm starting it again from episode 1 in 2017 ... ages later XD The characters' voices sound so different from what I imagined/remember! So much more ... cutesy? Lol :P Pretty cute animation and the music is definitely good, I remember the OP and ED well ... only thing that bothered me was Tsumugi's animation of her playing lol, didn't really match that well XD I just hope that Yui doesn't pick up the guitar too quickly, starting an instrument from scratch is NOT easy, but I have no doubt she'll be amazing before the year or maybe even month is up since who would want to watch her be bad? :P I guess depending on how they do it it'll either be annoying or ignorable ... anyway on to the next episode where I think she picks out her guitar :O

Decent start. The ED song is awesome. Yui is so cute, glad she joined the club. I can't wait for her to learn how to play the guitar. Hope the next episode will be even better.

Rewatching the series after becoming a fan of the CGDCT genre the first time I watched it, really excited for this rewatch!

I freaking love Yui, she's so cute! Nice first episode to introduce the characters and their way to be, the energetic Ritsu, the more serious Mio, and Tsumugi, who looks like doesn't know much about things like McDonalds, but can prepare some god tier tea! Yui, our clumsy protagonist, never joined a club before so she wanted to finally stop that now that she entered her high school years.

She doesn't know yet how much happiness she will find here, but first of all, she needs a guitar! Get ready for the start of her adventure in the world of music (and cakes!)

Wow! For centuries I did not see this anime series, I did not remember anything about the first episode: the colors and backgrounds are as beautiful as those of KoAni's latest productions, and those of the interior and exterior of the school are particularly impressive. The drawings are not up to today's production of KyoAni, but almost ten years have passed, there may be. The characters immediately enter the heart with their joy, it is a pleasure to see this anime even if now it is a bit old, but there are many references to music, although the narration is not very serious.

Almost a decade now. I still don't know who that creepy girl in the doorway is, probably, from the Occult club but nothing definite.

Still liking that all the girls appeared in the street background as Yui was running to school.

I dived in only knowing Mugi because of all the attention her lovely eyebrows have been getting but I was still surprised hearing her voice for the first time. She sounds a lot more mature than I imagined. I barely knew Mio from pictures of her as a neko maid and as far as I know, this is just an anime where you watch girls eat cake and drink tea all day. It looks like it's exactly that and more ♥

I totally didn't see Lord Krauser III coming and I was definitely caught off guard that I didn't have time to bow down to his glory. The opening's nice but the ED's a banger!

I really didn't expect that I'd be so into this type of anime even if I know that I'm a big sucker for Love Live. This was so fun~! I can't wait to know more about the Light Music Club because their personalities were very different than what I expected from each of them.

So, this is the most popular moe anime.

First episode was meh, they just introduced the characters. Yui told the truth at least.

I never thought I would be watching this, not in a million years. It was very very enjoyable! The positive vibes were just the greatest, my migraine went away in a flash. The artstyle and animation are just so aesthetically pleasing, it's so cute and good. Yui is beyond adorable, she's the epitome of "cute."

I watched this episode so many times, Yui running with her toast in the mouth is so cute.
I like the fact so we can see Mio, Ritsu and Mugi in the background when she run to school.
Yui is so cute this episode !

Not sure if I liked this. I usually don't enjoy characters such as these (besides Mio) since they're too much and I find them really annoying. Also, I don't really like the music genre, It's pretty boring so I tend to avoid watching those types of animes. In addition, the art style is kinda weak... It seems like they suffer from same face syndrome. Hopefully, this gets better.

^ to the person above that's pretty lit hope you enjoyed the rest of the series as much too


this episode got leagues better upon rewatch (for reference when i first tried this two years ago i thought it was boring and even before a month ago wasn't completely sold) but goddamn can one's perspective change. it's actually funny as hell and like that guy who saw ghost of mio past earlier i again saw the immense amount of detail kyoani puts into their works.

wholesome. all i can say for someone first starting this series.
although watching the anime makes me regret not picking up an instrument when i had a chance in year 7 xD
outro is... actually really nice. although it feels a bit more heavy rock it peeked my interest

I actually read the manga first, and I really enjoyed it. But I enjoyed watching the first episode of the anime a lot more than I enjoyed reading the first few chapters of the manga. I don't know if it's only because of the music, though.

Seems like some of the animation can be spotty but when it shines BOY HOWDY DOES IT SHINE. Maybe its because I'm watching this on Netflix and am used to... different sites for my anime, but damn this had some moments.

Aside from that- I'm genuinely worried about Yui? How is a person like that supposed to function in society?

Yui is so moe. She fell on her bum and left out the door with a piece of toast in mouth in only the first 5 minutes. She is pretty cute. I have a feeling the next episode will be about her learning the basics of guitar and getting to a playable level of experience. As for the other girls, I wanna spend some time getting to know them.

Kinda sad that there are people asking why would anyone like a show like this. Its heartwarming, funny, relatable, and reminds you of the good times you have with friends. If the show stays consistent at this level then I'm all in.
