K-On! Bracing for nerd rage...


Alright, so, let's talking about one of this years super popular new anime.....

K-On


K-on( short for Karui Ongaku, Light music) is an anime about the adventures of 4 high school girls who join the Light Music Club. They all instantly become super best friends and they have super fun times. Not joking. Let's introduce the characters and then we'll talk about the plot a
little more.

Here's the serious in a few words: Recycled, Moe, Lesbian, Loli, Kind of Like Beck, Garbage.



Yui
The main character? She's really retarded. I mean really bad. She is your stereotypical dumb girl type character. She was basically created for people who like girls like Nodame of Nodame Cantabile. She gets really easily distracted, she likes snacks, she's late to school... you know the type. At least she's not dirty as hell. She's also not a genius at her instrument, but we'll get to that later.


Mugi
If you watched Lucky☆Star you should know this type very well.
Mugi is pretty much Miyuki. She's rich, polite, and naive. She plays piano. End of story.



Ritsu
Ritsu is the drummer of the band. She's kind of like Haruhi, kind of like Lucky☆Star's Konata. She's super energetic, kind of dumb, and generally the comedic relief.

Mio
Here is where I am going to get fan-flame if anyone ever reads my blog. Mio is the bassist of the band, and the overwhelming fan favorite. She is kind of like Mikuru, but without the squeaking. She gets all shy and stuff. She is the cute otaku bait ideal girlfriend.

Ok, the Story

Alright, so Yui starts high school, and of course she's late. She meets her friend who is pretty serious and well put together. Enter Ritsu and Mio. Friends from before, they both enter the light music club. However the club currently has no members, and if at least 2 other people don't join, it'll get shut down. Can't have those little clubs you know, throw those kids to the streets! So Mugi comes to the room by acciddent because she is looking for the Choir, but instead gets conned into joining the light music club.

Alright, so eventually Yui gets sent to the room, gets enticed by snacks, and then decides to join. She lies about being able to play Guitar, quickly gets out, and decides to learn. She gets 50,000円(approx $500) to buy a guitar, but the one she likes costs 250,000円($2,500). They all decide to work a part-time job counting traffic to help her out. The girl who can't play guitar at all... who they just met... they're going to work to get $2,000 for her. K.

So they do their jobs(not really well mind you). In case you forgot they remind you that 2 are retarded, are serious, and that Ritsu is a drummer. They still have nowhere near enough money, and she decides to give them their portion back. They decide to buy a cheaper one instead, but then it turns out that Mugi's family owns the store, and she gets it for $500.

Yui then poses with the guitar, takes pictures... and yes... sleeps with it

So like I said. Recycled moe garbage. Here's the sick part.

I actually kind of like it.

I can't stop watching. Blarg.

I'm going to start blogging about shows and games from here. They might not always be new, but oh well. I'm going to leave Saki to my buddy Roadside. Ps thanks for the pictures :3

Well then, next up is Super Robot Wars K. After I beat the last next 4 levels
