After watching K-On I had very high expectations for Kyoto animation.Then, I got very disappointed. Imagine what an all-time Green lantern fan felt after watching the movie, or DC fans after watching Batman v Superman and Suicide squad. That's exactly what I felt. First, I saw the opening and was introduced the characters while I watched on&on. It was okay for about episode 3(Don't remember what the ep was about because it's been about half a year since I've seen it)
Then, as I watched it through episode 13, I got bored and very confused.
The story flow is confusing, and the background story of the characters(An episode about the past of Izumi would have been nice) and their so-called 'phantoms' is poor. The story of each episode isn't that bad, but the connection between the episodes is very awkward. These drawbacks can be checked in ep13. The atmosphere suddenly changes, without any indication before, and new background info is hastily added in the last episode. It was very hard to take all that in the last episode. I think they made ep13 that way considering the story for season 2, bit we all know that won't happen.
Well, it is made by Kyoto animation, so I really can't say anything about their artwork. .The OP and ED are` also good, maybe too good considering it's story. The characters aren't horrible, but they're not that appealing either.

overall: remarkable artwork&songs, and not bad characters wasted on a cheap story that lacks background & flow
Kyoto animation should have made K-On season 3 with the budget used on this one.
