This review is for both the first and season seasons.
================================
K-On! is one of those shows that other people seem to not understand
It's more than just cute girls doing cute things - also defined as moe.
I had started this series out, thinking it would be a generic moe show. But i was wrong and what didn't really appeal to me at first became one of my favorite anime shows of all time.
People seem to miss the appeal of the show as they think that 1 episode explains the whole series. It doesn't.

Story - 8
The story consists of Yui the main protagonist joining the light music club, ... along with 3 other girls and 1 that joins up later. Other than that there are other things worth noting but are spoilers.
The plot itself isn't really special but it provides a realistic and relatable experience.

Art - 10
Here's where most of the praise should be given. The amount of detail put into each and every scene is insane. Kyoto Animation is just about my favorite studio of all time. Taking the worthless and boring source material of K-On! and turning into a masterpiece with beautiful animation and art.
The animation for the performances are spot on as well.

Sound - 10
Speaking of performances, the music in K-On! is amazing (my favorite song being the ED from the movie). They are all performed by the voice actors and sound like how they would in reality, matching the characters' skill levels.
Just about every song is original and splendid.

Character - 10
Getting the characters right is crucial in any show, this is no exception. However when it is done wrong, it effects the overall quality of the show.
K-On! manages to have great character development and world building. The characters actual have depth unlike other moe shows where the whole point of them being there is to appeal with their looks and cuteness.
Each and every character has great depth and by the end of the show you start to feel as though you understand each and everyone of them really well.
By the end of the show, i felt relatively emotional after getting so close to the characters, and it shows even more when i first saw the movie.

Enjoyment - 10
The writing and jokes are relatively funny, even if some jokes are what you would expect. The art, animation and voice acting combined makes for a very fun and enjoyable experience. You will want to keep coming back for more.

Overall - 10
K-On! is - in my opinion - a masterpiece. It is very worth watching and hopefully you will enjoy it as much as i do.
