An anime adaptation directed by Naoko Yamada, written by Reiko Yoshida, and produced by Kyoto Animation began airing on April 3, 2009 on TBS in Japan. The episodes began airing on subsequent networks at later dates which include BS-i, MBS, and Chubu-Nippon Broadcasting. The TBS airings are in 4:3 ratio, and the series began airing in widescreen on BS-TBS on April 25, 2009.

K-On!’s story revolves around four Japanese high school girls who join their school’s light music club to try to save it from being abolished. However, they are the only members of the club, and at first Yui Hirasawa has no experience playing musical instruments or reading sheet music.

Well first of all, I would like to say the good news that there is one more episode that they are gonna show next week, called K-on! Extra. There are a total of 13 known episodes that are gonna be out on TV.

First time I watched this show I knew right away this anime`s gonna be very very entertaining. It`s got a new approach towards anime as a whole. But of course, nothing like a cute girls with instruments in her hands to get a guy just say `moe!`. A little bit of otaku lingo there. Sorry about that. LOL.

Let`s talk about the characters. Yui is the brunette that plays the guitar. She`s quite a bit of a ditz. But a very lovable and sweet character. Ritsu`s the brunette with the headband and she plays the drums. Ritsu`s a lively one. She`s also the president of the K-On bu a.k.a. Light Music Club. Mio`s the black haired one and plays the bass and is most likely to be the favorite of the majority of the otaku`s out there. She`s very mature and has the body to boot. Tsumugi`s the blonde, also an underdog favorite of mine. She`s the slightly mysterious rich daughter of a successful owner of a chain of musical instrument stores. Combined together they make a really interesting band that makes otaku`s just salivate.

The fun doesn`t just stop there. There are more characters in the anime you should look out for. So, in order for you to find out more, just watch the anime and get to know them yourself.

A solid 8 out of 10.
