Good series, flawed release

By A. Berg on May 7, 2011

Format: Blu-ray

K-On! is the first of two anime series based on Kakifly's seinen (young men) manga (which means its primary audience is males aged 18-30, not young girls as the amazon.com editorial review above would have you believe - although that demographic would certainly also enjoy K-On!). The show follows the everyday life of four high school girls who decide to revive their school's light music club and form a band. From that point on, they spend most of their time goofing off.

This first volume (there will be four in all) contains the first four episodes in which the group 1) first meet each other, 2) help a member procure an instrument, 3) struggle with mid-term exams and 4) have a training camp at the beach.

Since it first aired in 2009, K-On! has reached immense popularity among anime fans and it's a shame to see that Bandai Entertainment's domestic release is something of a disappointment. The release has a number of flaws, the most significant one being the as-of-yet unexplained music replacement in the first episode, where an instrumental piece performed by the characters has been replaced by an altogether different tune. Add to that the complete lack of any of the bonus materials included in the Japanese release and the fact that they went with lossy Dolby Digital audio instead of lossless for the Blu-Ray, and the disappointments begin to add up. Thankfully, the video quality is stellar. One thing I can't really fault Bandai for is the decision to release the series spread across four individual volumes as opposed to a complete series box set. The license for K-On! was no doubt hellishly expensive, and they need to make their money back somehow. And besides, at the very least it is still dirt cheap compared to the Japanese release!Read more ›

The Light Anime Club

By Elias on May 6, 2011

Format: DVD

Kyoto Animation has a track record of producing titles that go on to become mega-hit franchises. Haruhi, Lucky Star or their multitude of adaptations of Key's visual novels; no matter what they put out, odds are it'll go on to become a hit. But on top of that, they've historically struck an emotional chord with their excellent scripts, and wowed audiences with their lavish animation. K-On!, an adaptation of Kakifly's 4-panel manga series, is their most recent hit series. With such a pedigree to compete with, does this simplistic tale of a high school band rise to the levels of greatness seen by the studio's works, or fall into the trappings of other slice-of-life moe series? The answer is more mixed than you might think.

We join the protagonists as they all descend on a high school group known as the Light Music Club. On the verge of being disbanded, this club's intention is to make music that is enjoyable and pleasing to the ears. But the only problem is that, despite the fact that three of the four are well-versed in music and can indeed play instruments, they're... just "not very good", according to the group's guitarist. She's in no position to speak though, because she can't even play guitar yet. Yes, with this type of dysfunction, on top of school exams, summer trips and other hindrances, the future of the Light Music Club is uncertain.

Their comedic struggles, though, provide a nice four episodes' worth of entertainment in this first volume, however vanilla it may be. These episodes start with each character confused as to what exactly this club's intention is, and end with them having formed a bond and set in motion a solid plan to perform at the school festival. Nothing too challenging in terms of content, but it's enjoyable nonetheless.Read more ›

It's a nice little show I can enjoy with my kid.

By Genaro H. Ugalde on February 9, 2014

Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase

I don't know to whom the show is supposed to be geared towards by description or intent. What I do know is that this is one of the only shows I can enjoy with my little girl. In the entire list of anime in my library this is one of the few that her and I can watch without me fearing for inappropriate content and adult humor popping on screen. It's funny and lighthearted and not boring, which is hard to find since pleasing adults and children is not an easy balance to pull.

I can recommend this for parent who like anime and want something to watch with their kids. Its good enough that it can get other audiences but that's the reason I liked it.

Frothy, fluffy entertainment

By Steven Guy on October 6, 2011

Format: Blu-ray

I bought the blu-ray of the volumes 1 & 2 of K-on! in Australia - distributed by Madman. With each blu-ray you get four episodes, an interview with one of the English dub cast and some trailers. Not really enough, in my opinion, but I can live with it (I'll have to, won't I? ;- The entire running time is 100 minutes which isn't exactly great, especially for a blu-ray DVD.

The first four episodes of volume one largely sets the scene and introduces the characters. We meet four girls: klutzy Yui (guitar), the introspective Mio (bass guitar), sweet-as-apple-pie Mugi (keyboards) and the slightly demented Ritsu (on drums). As you've gathered, the girls form a Rock band at high school in their "Light Music Club". We also meet Yui's friend, Yui's very responsible and together younger sister and their outwardly sweet female music teacher who is actually a bit of a renigade. In volume 2 we learn that Mugi is in love with her.

The show has some fun and laughs and it all good natured. It isn't anything "earth shattering", but it is a pleasant series to watch and I will buy the other volumes as they're released in Australia.

I like K-on!, there is much to enjoy in the series, especially the incredible look of the animation - which is especially vivid on blu-ray, but I will return to my old favourite, "Azumanga Daioh", which still has me ROTFLMAO!

A+++ for the quality of the animation
A- for the story
A for having characters we can identify with and like
A for the character development
C for the extras on the blu-ray
A for the look of the package
B for the comedy and drama
A+ for the music
A++ for the detail of the musical instruments

K-on! looks fantastic and has some cool music and a few laughs

It's very interesting for me to overlook them in music and school life.

Good Stuff

K-On! never fails to amuse. Watching this show is like taking prozac, only without the side effects (save the desire to buy more).

Great series

Great lighthearted series about a group of high school students joining a music club that I would recommend for anyone or even families to watch.

HOLD OFF

For the price and getting 4 episodes on a Bluray format, you're better off holding on until a box set is available. Read more

Just as good as Azumanga Daioh

This is a perfect show for people ages from 15-30. If you loved Azumanga Daioh then you are going to love this show.

Average at best

This is the kind of show where you can sum up the story in a few sentences at most, and with these 4 episodes, comes accross as rather average at best. Read more
