S4E11 - K-ON! Season 1 Review (2009 Kyoto Animation TV Series)

from Japanimation Station Season 6 - TOMINO-THON! · host Jonathan Lack & Sean Chapman

Part 3 of our Kyoto Vacation is‘Moe Money, Moe Problems: After School Tea-Time with the Girls of K-On!’ And for the next three weeks, we’re reviewing what may be Kyoto Animation’s most popular series to date: K-On!, the musical slice-of-life anime sensation following the girls of the Sakuragaoka High School light music club! The 14-episode 1st season follows Yui Hirasawa as she learns the guitar and joins bassist Mio Akiyama, drummer Ritsu Tainaka, and keyboardist Tsumugi Kotobuki, ostensibly to play and practice music, but mostly to drink tea and eat snacks. The season follows the characters’ first two years of high-school, with another guitarist, Azusa Nakano, joining in their second year, and of course includes the greatest teacher in the history of fiction, Sawa-chan-sensei, as their unorthodox club leader. It’s a beautifully animated, stupendously funny, extremely sweet season of television with some great music, and the debut directorial work of the great Naoka Yamada – and an absolute pleasure to talk about on the podcast. Enjoy, and come back next week as we review the second season – with two exclamation points – K-On!!
