K-On! (Anime) add (All reviews)
Jan 31, 2013
After reading about the hype and suggestions I decided to give K-on a try. I thought I'd be doing myself a favor by watching it. Coming into the series with that in mind I didn't realize I was watching an anime with 1 episode, by that I mean every damn episode is the same as the last, there is little to no character development, there is really nothing to see in K-on. Save your time and just don't even think about watching this grass grow.

Story:
It's hard to talk about because it's not even there. There is no story worth following in this anime. Sure, it's a slice-of-life anime but the story consist of a girls life with boring scenarios. At the start there are some problems that the girl faces, then slowly once that's over you'd expect something more, something exciting and dramatic, but no, nothing happens and I'm sitting here wondering if my Media Player is broken, why does the same episode keep playing?

Art:
While the artwork is not exactly dreadful, it's nothing to show off. You may come into this show thinking that the artwork is wonderful, it's not. It seems like every character in the anime is a copy and paste of the last with the hair/hair color adjusted.

Sound:
Being a music based show I'd expect Kyoto to include a lot more songs and performances into K-on. The OP and ED are by no means bad, but going into the show if you were expecting to be blown away by any songs, you won't be. The singing in the song is just flat out boring, I'm not calling it bad, but there is nothing that makes you go "Wow, I would love to DL this.". There are no voices that stand out, and while there are groups that don't have a voice that stand out and they just simply harmonize, K-on fails to do that.

Overall:
I don't know why I even finished K-on, maybe I expected it to get better, maybe I wanted to listen to good music, maybe I was trying to find a story, but in the end what I found was that I downloaded the same episode 13 times, and watched the same one, 13 times.
