K-On! was my first anime since pandemics ecloded and also marks my return to anime world after some years on hiatus. And... omg, there's so much I want to say about this masterpiece!! I don't even know where to begin. But I'll try...
First of all... we must go back to April 2012.
I was a only-action shounen fan. In my class, a girl said to me: "you need to watch K-On!, is so cute!" and I said no. Because I liked action, I liked blood. Years passed by and I lost contact before high school begins. And now I... I want to apologize so bad. I want to hug her and say I'm sorry, say we had to talk more... I don't know where she is right now... but I hope my feelings touches her -- and whenever I cry listening to Tenshi ni Fureta Yo as well, hope she hears it with me.
Ok. Anyways...
This show i…

And so, my re-watch comes to a close. I don’t know where to begin... My heart aches, but it feels so full. I just HAVE to say something about this, even if ultimately I don’t have much to say, but it’ll be difficult keeping everything coherent as my brain desperately scrambles to put all the words in place - even finding the right words to use is hard. I’ll try my best.
K-ON! The Movie is the last hurrah for the series, and it is every bit as spectacular as the TV series that preceded it. Nearing graduation, the girls decide to go on a trip abroad, and thanks to divine intervention from Ton-chan, it’s decided they’ll go to London. The trip to London is fun and all, but that’s secondary to the true intent of the senior club members – to make the best gift they possibly can for their junior…

I just finished watching this movie and can finally said that i completed watching the K-On franchise. First off i wanna say that this review might contain some minor spoilers, which i assure you that it won't affect your experience upon watching the movie. With that said this review will be using the standard myanimelist review which consist of 6 parts such as Story, Art, Sound, Character, Enjoyment, and Overall.
Story: The timeline of the movie takes place between Season 2 of K-On! episode 23-24) and Episode 27(which is considered as special episode 3 for season 2 of K-On! or K-On!! series). While watching the movie it makes me remember the song they performed for Azusa(Assuming that you finished watching season 2 before watching this movie, then you probably know what i'm talking abou…

Now, the regular K-On! show sure is entertaining. The formula that they use works well with a 25-minute timeslot, and it is light and fun. The problem with this movie is that it's basically just a really really long episode, which is completely neglecting the strength of the K-On! series to begin with.
Moreover, this thing is simply a season 2 extension. Most of the senseless rambling the cast does throughout the film is about graduation and Azusa. The premise of the film is exactly the same as it was for season 2. Never mind the terrible execution of the purpose, absolutely nothing was challenging the world of K-On. Additionally, the total lack of compelling events, thoughts, or feelings shown on the screen for nearly the entire 2 hours is a serious head-scratcher. This movie was clearly…

I bought a 4k TV just to watch this movie
Even though I will only watch it once.
I just threw away 3000 dollars
and the pain of losing that money
stabbed me right through my heart.
My relative broke my 4k TV, I broke his ass apart.
My brother called the police
And I got arrested and sentenced to life.
And that's how a great movie like K-On! changed my life. Story: (10/10)
The story is focused on the Light Music Club Members as they plan a trip to London for their graduation trip. The movie is set 1 week before the events of K-On!! Episode 24.
If you watched the TV series before then you should already be familiar with how the story will be like and how it will go. It's a very simple story. If you were confused at the Season Finale of K-On!! then you should definitely watch this movie.…

For anyone who wants to know K-On! is my favorite animated series of all time, and having recently just rewatched the movie I feel it is appropriate to try and explain just why I love it (K-On! Movie) so much.
Story: 10
Okay, so I get that it's a slice of life movie and there isn't much to the story, but I think that, while it doesn't start where the series ended, it was known by viewers of the series that HTT would be going to abroad and I feel as if all the misadventures the gang gets into with the sushi place, impromptu concert, and follow the leader in no way take away the emotional resonance that most of the movie tries to deliver when elaborating upon the intentions of HTT in writing Tenshi ni Fureta Yo for Azusa. What I found particularly engaging was Yui's struggle over what kind…

It's been a while since I looked at the first series of Kyoto animation's K-on. The final verdict for the series was that it was really good. Having a great sense of humour and being fun to watch. Someday, I'll undoubtedly get around to reviewing the second series but, for the time being, let's look at the film that came out in December of 2011.
Story:
The film is set near the end of the second series. Graduation is rapidly approaching for Yui, Mio, Ritsu and Mugi. The four of them decide to take a graduation trip to London, taking Azusa with them even though her graduation isn't for another year simply because they enjoy her company and a trip without her wouldn't feel right after all the time they've spent together. The film covers their trip to London complete with various misadvent…

When discussing 'moe', k-on is typically the first series that comes to mind for many people. It has represented for many, the pinnacle of 'cute girls doing cute things' and many take comfort in knowing that this is either as bad or as good as it gets for some. I don't like K-on. In fact, I hate it. I think it's one of the worst series in the industry.
K-on got a second season. And a spin off. And a sequel. And to put a cherry on top of the sundae, it got this movie!
And because I'm masochist, I decided to watch it.
The plot [if you can call it that]: The girls have completed their university entrance exams and want to celebrate and so organize a trip to England. In most anime, the class trip would be covered in one or two episodes. K-on decides it wants to gut it's fans for every cent…

K-ON! was never a series with much direction but for many this wasn’t much of a problem. Thirty minutes of pleasant humour with a simple storyline to tie it together- a formula for success. However, when one attempts to stretch those thirty minutes of heaven into a two hour long movie, its weaknesses become apparent rather quickly. So the question is, will the K-ON! movie be able to overcome it?
On the face of it, it does seem like a possibility. The group are going to take a trip to London, creating ample opportunity for an adventurous storyline that will keep the audience interested throughout the running time. Indeed, it seems like an exciting prospect, and so we sit and wait. And we wait.
And after what feels like thirty minutes, we are still waiting for the promised trip to London.…

K-ON may be a controversial series, and some may think anything to do with K-ON is nothing but overrated. Subjectively, I love the series. The daily school lives of the light music club and the live gigs, are never tiring to watch. Throughout season one and two, the series had shown us a simple, fun, relaxing and heart-warming ambiance through and through. As soon as the movie’s subs was out, it doesn’t take long for me to pop up my video player, and enjoy another near two hours of cuteness and fluffiness.
The school year is drawing to a close at Sakuragaoka Girls' High School, and with it will come the graduation of four of the five girls in the school's light music club. The girls have already spent plenty of time together during and after school having fun, making music, and drinking t…

There is a reason why I rated this higher than the seasons shown on television. One immediate reason is that it truly sticks to the whole theme of the entire series.
Story:
The story was simple yet great. Basically it is the final trip for the club as the senior's graduation is drawing near. They go to a trip to London to just have fun. Then the story continues on how not knowing enough English isn't so easy. The best part of the story was when the Light Music Club made a performance to Azusa which gave quite the touching scene, and showing how the senior understand that it wouldn't be easy for Azusa their cute junior to maintain the club, and as the club is close to being disbanded, a grand finale song is presented to Azusa, a song that will stay forever in Azusa's heart.

I Love K-On.
It has been about a year since i first watched the first season of K-On. At first i was like "Wow for a show with practically not plot this is not bad". I have always wondered and questioned people who watched K-On since i never really understood what was so great about it until i re-watched it a second time. Like most people in America i grew up watching cartoons and some occasional Anime that they might show on cartoon channels such as Cartoon Network. The only sort of anime i watched was things like Dragonball Z or Yu Yu Hakusho. Those types of animes are what is classified as Shounen, things mainly made towards the young male audience so it would have tons of action packed battles and what not and the story is usually someone is in trouble so the hero must go save them.

This review will be controversial. The reason I say this is because although it seems paradoxical, in this review I will be shredding apart the “moe” phenomenon, while praising this movie at the same time. If that sounds incomprehensible to you then keep reading and maybe you’ll see where I’m coming from. By the way, I’m not going to say that much about the movie but talk more about my personal experience with “K-ON!” as a whole as well as other related anime.
Let’s start at the beginning. To me, “K-ON!” was at first glance a pure and sweet little slice of life show about a group of high school girls whom decided to form a band. Prior to watching it, I had no knowledge about it other than that it had gained a large amount of popularity and that it had something to do with music. As I watc…

For the sake of perspective, let me first say that I am not a big fan of season one of K-ON. I thought it was overrated and dull. However, I am a moderate fan of season two, which was a lot more enjoyable. Maybe it's just because I already expected season two to be episodes and episodes of fluffy nothingness as opposed to season one where I was expecting a rockin' show about music. But whatever, the point is my opinion on K-ON before watching this movie was more or less "meh."
So how was the movie? Well, if you were hoping to see more of the exact same stuff that was in season two, then wish granted! The movie is pretty much episode 23.5 of season two, and it just happens to also be two hours long. Judging from all the 9's and 10's people are giving this movie, my guess is that plenty of…

Among Kyoto Animation's many shows, K-On seems to be one of the most divisive. The first Season was a fun but ultimately very empty and unrewarding experience which led to the attracting a lot of hate. Those who stuck by it, however, where treated with a wonderful coming of age story and a bittersweet conclusion in the Second Season. Although Season 2 was a huge improvement it was not without its flaws. For a slice of life show, some thought thought that 26 episodes was too much. But for the fans, its long length was able to satisfy their craving for more K-On. But this movie is where they finally perfect the formula.
The movie is still plotless but it still tells a story. The coming of age themes from season 2 are in and are more prevalent than ever. It's done in such a way that a younge…

Many people have found themselves wondering what truly qualifies as something exemplary. For some, this kind of quality is attributed to titles with deep themes and complex storytelling, and for others it may be something as subjective as what's "fun". What can be agreed by everybody though, is that no matter what the nature of a title is, when the inherent quality is up there it’s going to shine through in the story. It’s going to make the audience feel something of significance and it’s going to leave them awed and speechless when the credits roll.
And when the credits roll in the K-ON movie, you know that you just witnessed something great.
After over a year since the second season of the anime finished its airing, KyoAni has released their final work for their famed K-ON adaptation.…

This is my first review, so bear with me. I'm not going to do the Story/Art/Sound etc. format.
This movie was... well, great. I heavily believe that anyone could watch this and enjoy it for what it is. And while the movie is much better if you've seen the whole series, I also think that someone could watch and enjoy it without even knowing what K-ON! is.
The movie was very well paced, and the girls fit right into the story. Within minutes the movie had rekindled by absolute love for every single character. We got to see them react to a new and exciting environment with classic silly situations that you would expect from KyoAni.
I won't spoil much (though there's not much to spoil anyways haha), but the last half hour or so of the movie, I was crying on and off. KyoAni somehow pulls you…

Dear Reader,
By the end of this humble review, the case may be that I will find myself skewered by countless pitchforks and torched at the stake by those who bear disdain towards K-ON! for forging what is igniting the burning passion in my heart for all to see. In spite of this inevitable dreary destiny, I shall boldly write on and write on I shall ‘till kingdom come for friend or foe to witness. So without further ado, before I enrage the angry mob which desires my public evisceration and execution to the point where they can no longer withhold their murderous intent, I shall grace your eyes with the weaving of this golden yarn of mine.

I've seen it. Finally.
I got a postcard of Mio's lyric version of the good bye song, Tenshi ni Furetayo (We've Touched an Angel) at the entrance of the theatre. 3-time repeaters in Japan gets a random raw K-on film strip as a present, by the way.
K-on! the movie has become a phenomenal hit for an animated film here in Japan. In my honest opinion, it was not "fantastic" that went over my expectations but it was predictably "very good".
It was fairly entertaining and rewarding for K-on! fans. It should be enjoyable to first viewers of the series as well. K-on! is not meant to be hilarious or exciting, though. It does not have shocking "fan services" like in other moe animes as the director and the chief designer are young women.
The movie evolves around the graduation trip of the five H…

Just saw this tonight in theaters in Japan. It was super cute, had all the favorite characters and shenanigans (some of them just happen to be London, so there was some cute novelty, especially enjoyable for one who knows how awkward it is to be in a country where you're not fluent in the language, haha). Definitely laughed out loud a couple times. The art was the same if not nicer than the anime, new songs were great and old classics were included as well. I'd say it's about the same as the TV show in that there wasn't much of a plot, just a cute slice of life bit about good friends. Classic K-ON. Moe moe kyun, etc.
