K-On!, Japan’s moe (cute) anime sensation is returning to audiences in its complete form of two full TV anime seasons along with an unaired OVA show, starting this July on Animax!
Follow high school girls Yui (guitar), Ritsu (drums), Mio (bass) Tsumugi (keyboard), and Azusa (guitar) on their comical yet heart-warming journey to becoming the hottest band in school.
Drummer Ritsu and bassist Mio are the only members of the school's pop music club. They are too excited to put their musical talents to good use but because they lack members in the band, they are being threatened to close. Recruiting Tsumugi to play the keyboard, they need just one more member to keep the club going. Unable to even read sheet music, new high school student Yui joins thinking she will play castanets – the only instrument she can play – while the trio mistakes her to be a guitar prodigy! Comedy ensues as they discover the truth and help Yui learn the guitar for real. And later with Azusa joining them, the girls go on to become a full-fledged pop band in time to play for the school’s festival.
In season 2, the girls are in their third and final year in high school. Back to their favourite music room to practice, the five get even better as a band, and go on the quest to recruit new members to their club. Fans can look forward to catching the bonus OVA episode that follows at the end of the second season, previously not broadcast on Animax.From Kyoto Animation, the studio which gave us hit anime franchise The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, K-On! is a very popular anime TV series in Japan, with Blu-Ray DVDs of the show also top sellers. The five girls of K-On! are also the first-ever fictional characters to have a music album top the Japanese national music chart.
