K-On! Marks:4.8/5.0 [1000% must watch!!!] Episodes:15[one extra,2 specials and one Live!] Summary This story follows the story of 4 girls who try to save their high school light music club, even though they aren't that experienced. Intro!!! Yui-is the main character of K-On!. She is one of the members of the light music club, and plays a Heritage Cherry Sunburst Gibson Les Paul Standard electric guitar that she nicknames 'Giita' (ギー太). Yui is clumsy and easily spaces out most of the time. She takes a huge liking for any kind of food (but admits that she does not gain any weight). She has a very easy-going nature, but has incredible concentration when hyped, though this is only limited to one subject at a time. She will totally neglect any other things in the process, to the point of forgetting anything she has learned beforehand.She has perfect pitch and is the group's main vocalist, although she is known to forget her lyrics in mid-performance, as well as overdoing things, making her unable to perform sometimes.
Ritsu-is the president of the light music club and plays a Yamaha Hipgig Drumset. Ritsu is cheerful, often likes making jokes and is sarcastic most of the time. She usually brainstorms for ideas to earn more money and for the club's success. She says she chose to play the drums because they are "cool", but in reality, she admits that she has trouble playing instruments which involve intricate finger movements, such as the bass, guitar and keyboard. Is Mio's childhood friend.
Mio-is a shy girl who is in the light music club and plays a left-handed, 3-Color Sunburst Fender Precision Bass, with a tortoiseshell pickguard. She gets excellent grades in school, but is bad with listening to stories involving macabre experiences, and cowers whenever something gross is brought up. she gets embarrassed easily, and is often subject to teasing from Ritsu and Sawako, their club adviser. She cites that she chose bass since it is not the center of attention in the band, unlike the guitarist. Mio is more technical when it comes to music, and Yui often comes to her when she is in need of more guitar tutorials. She is the band's backing vocalist and takes over lead vocals whenever Yui is incapable of singing or forgets the lyrics. She writes the songs, although they feature some odd lyrics like "Light and Fluffy Time". She is left-handed and becomes entranced whenever she sees left-handed instruments. Due to an unexpected accident in one of their live performances, a fan club for her is then formed (much to her dismay considering the circumstances surrounding it), whose founding member is the former student council president, who also stalks Mio.
Tsumugi-often referred to as 'Mugi' by her friends, is a wealthy girl with a gentle and sweet personality who plays a Korg Triton Extreme 76 Key keyboard in the light music club.Tsumugi is considered a piano prodigy since she has been playing the piano since she was four and has experience in winning various piano contests. She is the daughter of a company president, and her family has several villas in various places around Japan (and even one in Finland, much to Ritsu, Azusa and Ui's surprise when they try to contact her at home). Since her father also owns a maid café, she often brings confectionery and an assortment of sweets and pastries to the club room, and she diligently makes tea with a tea set which is kept in their club room. Although she is a sweet and gentle girl, she is often weirdly entranced by the sight of two girls interacting closely together, sometimes imagining something more risqué in her head. Despite her being wealthy, she also tries her hand at a part-time job at a fast-food restaurant. While a lot of things do not bother her, she is fairly conscious about her weight like Mio, and she gets a bit anxious when her family's staff start spoiling her friends during villa visits.

Review Charmingly cute, K-ON! is a beautifully drawn anime that music lovers are sure to enjoy. I loved the story, the characters, and the comedy. At 13 episodes it’s short but not rushed. The bond between the band members feels real and is very heartwarming. I just wish it was longer! A must watch for anyone who loves a short n’ sweet anime!
