I have watched a lot SoL comedy animes like Chuunibyou, Yuruyuri, etc. When i watched this, in simple words, just, a masterpiece of the genre (The best SoL comedy i have ever seen)
Cute characters, amazing comedy, KyoAni animated, Aki Toyosaki as Yui, and a lot, BUT A LOT GOOD MUSIC.
I don't know why this show about girls drinking tea after the school has a better animation than a generic shonen, a better comedy than a romantic comedy or better characters than any drama in general. The studio, that deserve a lot of the succes of the series, Kyoto Animation adapted a singular manga 4-koma made by kakyfly and turn into a comedy masterpiece.
After 10 years of this anime, i watch the SoL seasonal comedies, and they just repeat and repeat what was stablish, there's not originality, there's not effort, there's not a serie as K-on that arrived in a year that the genre wasn't something popular and viable, when the bases wasn't there, this anime establishes them, this is how a "cute girls doing cute things" anime is like
I loved the second season,i love this anime
