K-On!!

It is the new year, which means that the senior members of the Light Music Club are now third-years, with Azusa Nakano being the only second-year. The seniors soon realize that Azusa will be the only member left once they graduate and decide to recruit new members. Despite trying many methods of attracting underclassmen—handing out fliers, bringing people into the clubroom, and performing at the welcoming ceremony—there are no signs of anyone that plans to join.

While heading to the clubroom, Azusa overhears Yui Hirasawa say that the club is fine with only five people and that they can do many fun things together. Changing her mind, she decides that they do not need to recruit any members for the time being.

K-On!! revolves around the members of the Light Music Club as they experience their daily high school life. From rehearsing for concerts to just messing around, they are ready to make their last year together an exciting one!

This series is the perfect example of slice-of-life. The protagonists and their relationship grow much stronger this season. The girls' everyday situations are very entertaining, along with a setting and animation worthy of the great kyoani. The setting and relationships feel very real. I highlight the development of Azusa's relationship with the other girls in the group, as well as the graduation plot and how Azunyan carries it out.
This series will make you fall in love with the characters; all of them have their own unique way of being or acting, and they all have personalities.
It's very enjoyable even for those who aren't fans of ... the genre; the ultimate slice of life.

Ok, here we go for the fifteenth time:

Characters:
-Principals: They've been able to take advantage of every girl in the group during these 26 episodes (7/7).
-Secondary: Pretty much the same here, I love it (3/3).

Logic:
There are a lot of details that give it that little realistic touch (9/10).

Entertainment (Personal):
... It got better as the episodes progressed.(8/10).

The basics in an anime:
-Animation: The animation style is good and almost unique for that era (2/2).
-Music: I manage to like it, that's enough (1/2).
-Vice: Just for the graduation theme of the main group, I got a little addicted (1/2).
-Tag fulfillment: As long as it's “Award Winning” as well as being able to fill a playlist with their “Music” it's more than enough.(2/2)
-Ending: It was touching, but episode 20 was more so (1/2).

Plot Development (or initial premise):
It fulfills everything it promises and develops well, now I just hope that in the movie or in some special they show us what happens to Asuza after her friends from the club graduate.(10/10)

Personal Reflection (Clearly personal):
Those details I mentioned before are what made me reflect with a comedy anime, like how for example, in the interviews they show the obvious: No matter how famous or popular you are, there will always be a group of people who don't know about your existence.(5/10)

Comments:
Clearly this is better than the first season and I have to admit that I underestimated it at first believing it would be a simple continuation of everything seen before. By the way, my favorite character is Azusa (Must be because she's so moe).

Final Score: 8.9.


(Note: Since I'm very tolerant of anime, my minimum score for all anime is currently 4).

You know, I was hoping that a show about 5 girls in a band would feature a little more, I don't know, MUSIC? All these little fuckers do is sit around, eat cake and faff around with the pet turtle. I get that most people's enjoyments comes from these light-hearted interactions but did we really need 39 episodes of this? In those 40 episodes these girls can manage to come up with about 4 different songs over 3 years of being a band. Though you wouldn't know this considering they play the same fucking song any time that god forbid somebody bothers the music club ... to play some actual fucking music! I liked the characters at first but when six episodes in they decided to just redo those same episodes again but with the loli cat girl, I had given up all hopes of this having any interesting development.
