So.. Uhh...
What was this series about again? Oh right.. Tea parties.. oh wait no..
Slice of Life! That must be it right? It must be slice of life.. What? Wrong again?
Well.. it doesn't really matter anyway..
For the people who just finished the first season and wonder if they should continue to this next one but hesitate because of the episode count being doubled from the first season, well... Yes... there is a point to this sequel. But yes, I'm going to be honest and give a slight spoiler here.
The shenanigans will continue..
K-On!! is still a slice-of-life, comedy anime.. Yes.. the moe does not stop!!
So.. is that good? Uhhh.. not really... but it is for some people.. But to be honest, it ain't really that bad.. it's just.. something.... something you should never tell anyone. No one will appreciate it if you just suddenly yell out: " I enjoy moe!!!" So.. yes.. that's the truth.
So regarding questions about comparison with its prequel, yes... I can say there was improvement because the first season wasn't really that great, I admit. So can we now all agree to finally say that K-On!! is a good anime? Well... I can't really say anything about that. But maybe it's fine now to recommend to your friends. But I doubt that will happen because I've never really seen others recommend this show. Not the common viewers to be precise. But me, yes I was recommended to see this but not for the moe, but as a musician. And.. honestly, we don't view this show as something really great. In fact, we make fun of it and use it as meme material.
But, that does not mean we berate this show awfully. Sure there are times when the plot gets really boring but that does not stop you from fully enjoying the aesthetics of this show. As a musician, I enjoyed the soundtrack and I also appreciate the detail of the "Music" genre of this series. Not many anime show real-life depictions of instruments and brands accurately. Kyoto Animation still did its purpose as displaying the cute style of anime but I'm glad that they did not overdo it for both seasons.
Well.. K-On!!, may not be a masterpiece but it is one of the top music anime for me regardless of the moe. Houkago Tea Time is a really excellent band and the songs are catchy enough for you to remember for a long time. Of all the things that happened in the series, one thing it speaks out is that make sure you enjoy the things and people that you have with you now. Everything has an end and there's only a limited time you can cherish those moments.
