K-On

Some of you might already know that I have a taste for Japanese anime. Ironically, my dad finds it weird for me, a college student watching some cartoon, speaking foreign language whilst laughing out loud by myself. Well, I don't blame him. He doesn't know how different anime is from cartoon (although I tried explaining). Trust me, cartoons and anime are two very VERY different things. Somehow anime has better plots, emotions, character build ups as compare to the cartoons you can see on Cartoon Network and Disney Channel.

Surprisingly I still manage to find time to catch my favorite animes despite being in between exams, Chemistry is just 4 days away!! I've just finished with the 9th episode of K-On and just like the other 8 episode, it's "MAGNIFICO" (magnificient + fantastic)! It's so good I've just gotta share this with my fellow blog reader.



K-On has got to be the 2nd greatest anime released of the year so far (behind FMA: Brotherhood). The first episode was out on April 3rd but I only got to know bout it recently. The story starts with a girl, Yui Hirasawa who recently started high school and is eager to join a club.


naive, innocent Yui


At the same time, Ritsu Tainaka, a drummer, and her friend Mio Akiyama, a bass player, whose also a freshie, desperately trying to save the school's light music (K-On) club from being disbanded due to the lack of members.


energetic and mischievous Ritsu



mature yet shy Mio


They manage to recruit Tsumugi Kotobuki to play the keyboard and needed one more member. That's when Yui steps in but there's a problem. She doesn't play any instrument but the castanet!


soft spoken and positive Mugi


Although they manage to form a school band, there's much needed to be done and through all the obstacles thrown at them, we get to see how they overcome and ridiculously surpass them.









What makes this anime so lovable is that the characters are very lively and different among each other. Ridiculous random scenes and outrageous expressions never fails to tickle my funny bone. The story is also pacey, smooth and not draggy like how some anime would make you yawn throughout the show.

















Kawaii girls, funny expressions, cool band, great music, high school life, what's not to like?


*Don't say I didn't warn you, they can be as addictive as hell!

Anime is far way better than cartoon as anime contain mature element and most of them regarding with slice of life, well not all but anime try to implement determination and facts of life. Cartoon, well like my teacher said, cartoon lately are mostly regarding with love, especially Walt Disney which, perhaps not suitable for kids. And most of all, anime is far more famous than cartoon. Many of the european people are crazy over it. During comic festivals, the european countries will take the opportunity to invite those famous stars, who sing the anime theme songs, to their respective country just to perform. And of course, anime has far more better graphic animation than cartoon. Even cartoon now try to compete with anime. Anime is addictive and far more unpredctable story than cartoon. Anime is for the mature basically. I love anime, my friends around me love anime as well.

Anime ROCKSSSSS!!!
