Normally i would avoid watching shows of this nature, but K-on is an exception to how i view shows like this. K-on on the surface looks like a generic cute girls shows with lots events that don't matter. However in a sense it is very close to being a masterpiece. This primarily because Naoko Yamada and the team at Kyoto animation elevated it higher than its source material.
Story:8/10
K-on story is about how people become better and function better with friends and the way it executes the premise is honestly flawless in a myraid of
...
ways. The show gets better with every step of the way . The buildup of the scenes are incredible especially toward the end of this series when the band makes the song which is the emotional climax. Most of the episodes are lighthearted like any other show but the events that are portrayed are more significant than others. Some criticize K-on as uneventful, however i feel like people don't open their minds enough to understand the show a little better. It would also allow more people to see K-on as not just any ordinary show of its genre . I do agree the show at certain episodes can get boring with beach episodes,but overall the episodes are very good at communicating the main point of the show.
Art:9/10
The art is unquestionably beautiful. the gradients work well with the designs of the characters and the two tone shading also is well done. The artwork of the background is actually detailed and beautiful which is typical of Kyoto animation
Sound: 8/10-The timing of the use of sounds is brilliant and well thought out. The voice actor are great at certain the sense of cohesion with the jokes that occur in K-on .
Characters 9/10:- Lovable and relatable especially Azusa 's situation with her friends. The character have great chemistry with their jokes and the groups relationship continuing to build which makes you invested in the characters. The characterization is less obvious than other animes
Naoko Yamada uses the camera to focus on the girls legs by showing how they move in comparison to the first season to tell us the change in personality and how the groups friendship has changed the characters.
Overall: 9/10
