K-ON!
Rating: 3.5 (of 5)
Review:
It may not exactly be Lucky Star ~After Story~ (Tsukasa dies in childbirth!), but the first episode of K-ON! shows Kyoto Animation returning to the comfortable world of Cute Girls Doing Cute Things. The story begins with Yui, a freshly minted high schooler who's trying to pick which club to join. As luck would have it, the light music club—headed by energetic drummer Ritsu—desperately needs members, or else will be disbanded. There's just one problem: Yui has no sense of tempo and can't play an instrument, but hey! A club that offers free snacks can't be all bad.
With shades of the live-action movie Linda Linda Linda, which of course also connects to the "Live Alive" episode of Haruhi Suzumiya, the series adds a welcome dose of rock flavor to the overly homogeneous slice-of-high-school-life genre. For some, it may still be too big a blob of moe to handle—Yui's skittishness is downright maddening (why isn't this girl in psychiatric counseling?), and Ritsu appears programmed to annoy people to death with her gung-ho attitude—but when it comes to capturing the vivacity of youth, it's hard to go wrong with starting a band. If there's any element that feels underdeveloped so far, it's that the humor lacks the energy and physicality that KyoAni is known for, but that will probably emerge as the characters become more familiar.
The other thing that KyoAni is known for, of course, is their obsessive-compulsive approach to animation, which reveals itself in a handful of lovingly detailed scenes like Yui's childhood flashback (look at her go on the castanets!) and her mad dash to school in the opening scene. The opening and ending sequences are devoid of wacky dance routines this time around, but if there was ever a studio to convincingly animate a rock performance, it would be these guys, with a couple of deliciously catchy theme songs to back them up. Let's just hope the story moves along fast enough for Yui to actually learn how to play something ...
